I had a conversation with Tom Atencio. Well sort off... It's just a few tweets flown back and forth. Here's how the conversation went:
Tom Atencio: What do you think about fedor/barnett? ...alot of people say they arent interested in this ! it has fotn caliber written all over it!
Anton Tabuena: i say book it.. people have been waiting for that for yearssss..
Tom Atencio: yea i know right ? affliction 3: fedor/barnett to be announced very soon ! stay tuned!
Anton Tabuena: Aug 1? cmon give out hints! haha. :)
Tom Atencio: ha ha ! trust me if i were to give out hints, they would be jinxed somehow ! ha
I know this isn't really much news, but at least I tried right? ..And yeah, well i really didn't expect him to give out any details. I'm just glad that he wants the input of random MMA fans in the twitterverse and he makes the time to reply to them.

i also know that there are some people who fake famous peoples’ twitter profiles, but i’m fairly certain that this is really him.. He has conversations with other fighters, and the official affliction twitter page is the one promoting his profile..

Atencio can’t control whether Barnett is too afraid of being exposed by Fedor. Good on him for wanting to make the match – I hope he applies more public pressure on Josh to sign.

This is a dream competition for me. I drink as much coffee as I want, and eventually I hallucinate.

I’m sure it will, Tom. I’m sure it will.

Yeah, thats obviously the one thing they changed was when it was happening.
From June to the beginning of August, what can you do.

I wonder if Affliction will reward Fedor with a promotional belt now that it appears WAMMA has gone belly up?

‘The Atencio Candyland Belt’ has a nice ring to it

Surprised he didn’t challenge you to a fight.
