Affliction has opted instead to cancel the entire "Trilogy" card scheduled for Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif., according to a press release.
"Finding an opponent for the No. 1 ranked MMA heavy weight champion in such a short period of time was a huge endeavor and I'm thrilled at the amount of fighters willing to take on this challenge," Tom Atencio, vice president of Affliction Entertainment, said in a statement. "But in the end, we just didn't have enough time to promote a new fight to our standards."

The card took a major hit when main eventer Josh Barnett tested positive for steroids and was not licensed to fight Fedor Emelianenko. Affliction had said it would find a replacement and the card will continue on, but that decision has apparently changed.
It is unknown as of yet whether "Trilogy" will be rescheduled.
