With Barnett out of the picture, they are talking about Brett Rogers(who just beat arlovski), and Vitor Belfort. Who else do you think could step up.."Big" Ben Rothwell, ha maybe Tito Ortiz?(He was talking about heading to Affliction to fight.) Who do you guys think could fight "the last emperor?"

I saw Tito at the Pittsburgh show and he said they are working on two fights for free and then a pay per view event against Fedor.

It's a shame he doesn't get more fights. Him and Cro Cop are my all-time favorites. People are scared to fight him, and besides the Affliction fights or whatever that company is, there hasn't been much for him to do. Competition is scarce for people on his level. Yeah, the obvious answer is that people would want to see him fight Lesnar, but I think he annihilates Lesnar.

I heard Barnett is not officially out yet, but that Belfort will be the backup. It will be a bit of a letdown to watch Fedor fight someone with 10 days notice.

Jeff Monson. At least he says he wants to fight Fedor. I think Fedor KOs him fairly early. Belfort might give him problems if he fights right. Brett Rogers? Nope. Bobby Lashley - says he would need more preparation time (smart). Can't see anyone else stepping in and giving him a good fight. Apparently Tank Abbot has also said he would fight him (for $500,000).
I was looking forward to Josh getting his chance, but now....:(

I saw that earlier, and I'm still really really angry. And whats worse is that because it wasn't canceled yet, I couldn't buy good seats to UFC 103, which is going on 30 mins away from my house. :mad::EP:
