I know they act friendly and all, but don't you think Fedor has to be pissed at Barnett for failing out of the Affliction fight for performance enhancing drugs?

And then in interviews recently he questions how it is possible that Overeem got so big so quickly.  If he and management have suggested they won't want to fight Overeem without tougher drug testing, how is it that Fedor could look the other way and be friends with an MMA fighter who doesn't seem to care and has failed 3 tests???

Cool picture but got me thinking.

What are you hinting at?

I didn't even know they were good friends, funny they'd fight each other. I wouldn't read anything into it though. I don't think any of us know who or what Fedor Emelianko thinks. His management has run his career and probably everything he says (into the gutter). Sad :(

Hinting? No hints. I'm saying it's a weird friendship. I wouldn't think that Fedor would really like Josh Barnett very much. Seems like arrogant American guy who fails all his drug tests and won't admit it, versus laid back Fedor.
