Tom Atencio, the head of the Affliction MMA promotion, confirmed to FanHouse on Wednesday morning that Josh Barnett has been pulled out of his scheduled August 1 heavyweight title fight with Fedor Emelianenko. But Atencio said he still expects the Affliction Trilogy card to take place as scheduled.
Atencio said Barnett failed a drug test and therefore the California State Athletic Commission will not permit him to fight.
"He tested positive for a banned substance," Atencio said of Barnett. "The athletic commission will not reinstate his license."
