The Herald Bulletin, Anderson, Indiana

The news broke on Wednesday that Affliction's main event of a long-awaited encounter between Fedor Emelianenko and Josh Barnett may have to wait a little bit longer.

This comes out 10 days before Affliction: Trilogy is slated to take place in Anaheim, California.

Barnett tested positive for an anabolic steroid in a pre-fight drug test issued by the California State Athletic Commission. Due to the positive test the CSAC refused to issue a license to "The Baby Faced Assassian."

Stunning Rainbow last night! Now for today, come on over to the Delaware County Fair in Muncie for the Colts Make It Personal Tour, elements include meet and greets with Colts players or alumni Colts players and cheerleaders.

The Colts are teaming up with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana at the Delaware County Fair on Monday to help end hunger in this region. Fans are encouraged to bring a donation for the food collection and participate in the Bread Line project.

Prostitution does injury to the person who engages in it,reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure.

The one pays sins gravely against himself:he violates the chastity to which his Baptism pledged him and defiles his body,the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Prostitution is a social scourge.

It usually involves women,but also men,women,and adolescents.

The latter two cases involve the added sin of scandal.

While it is always gravely sinful to engage in prostitution,the imputability of the offense can be attentuated to destitution,blackmail,or social pressure.

As happens from time to time, my adolescent curiosity in comic books gets the best of me. This time, that curiosity led me to Rembert Parker's Reader Copies on North Scatterfield. My passion for comics burned brieftly but, oh, it was bright, and has never faded completely. I figured the best way to find out what's happening in the industry would be a copy of Wizard magazine. Parker was happy to oblige and threw in a copy of Previews (the phonebook sized catalog distributors offer to retailers) AND Marvel previews.

My theory on why this fight was the last live fight of the night is this: this is for the hardcore fans, not the people that bought tickets just to say they were there.

The status seekers are gone after the title fights and the true MMA fans are still in the Mandalay Bay watching a great grappling fight.

That makes five straight fights for Jon Fitch that have gone the distance and he's been a winner in four of those.

The native of Ft. Wayne is getting better and better and this is a guy that fought for the welterweight belt last August.

Round 1 goes to Lesnar.

Lesnar made good use of his weight and made Mir carry all 280-something pounds for the whole round.

Mir went for the kneebar again but Lesnar defended it well.

Round 2: Brock should look for more of the same.

Mir needs to establish some strikes.

Second round sees the end come for Mir and Lesnar get the win and the title of Undisputed Champion, then he further decides to show what a disrespectful individual he is.

First he refuses to touch gloves before the start of the fight, no big deal.

I'm not sure what's happened to the welterweight fight between Jon Fitch and Paulo Thiago but we're apparently jumping right into the heavyweight title fight.

George St-Pierre wins that first round based on his 3 takedowns and using more effective strikes from the outside.

Alves scored some with the leg kicks but went away from those.

Alves needs to establish his kicks.

GSP will take him down and wear him out.

Round 2

After two rounds this fight is GSP's to lose.

Alves can't stop his takedowns and can't get the champion off of him until after he's absorbed a ton of punishment.

St-Pierre will do more of the same. Alves will look for a home run KO shot.

Be back after round 3.

Love the fact that Royce Gracie (pronounce the R like an H) is in attendance.

Gracie was the first champion back in the early days of the UFC (UFC I champ and UFC II champ) and he's a member of the UFC Hall of Fame.

Love the action in the first two fights and looking forward to more of the same in the next three.

Looks like it's time for the first of 2 title fights as the welterweight belt will be on the line with Thiago Alves challenging Georges St-Pierre.

Check back after the 1st round on this one.

Say it with me:

USA! USA!! USA!!!

Sorry but this was the fight I wanted to see more than any other tonight and yes I admit it, I was rooting for Dan Henderson like a homer.

Henderson, a world class Greco-Roman wrestler, showed why this game is called mixed martial arts by knocking out Michael "The Count" Bisping with a atmoic bomb where his right fist is.

The end comes at 3:20 of the 2nd round and now Hendo is either near or at the front of the line for a shot at the UFC Middleweight title and a possible rematch with Anderson Silva.
