Fedor down to six candidates - Public wants Brett Rogers:

"Belfort’s head trainer, Shawn Tompkins, said he was shocked to wake up Thursday morning without a clear-cut decision."

"The latest word is that both camps agreed. Affliction wants the fight, but there’s somebody higher up, whether it be with the pay-per-view programming or what not, that’s saying that they’re holding on to see," said Tompkins.

"Sources told Sherdog.com Thursday evening the list had dwindled down to six candidates, including Belfort, Jeff Monson, Paul Buentello, Brett Rogers, Muhammed Lawal and Bobby Lashley. "

"It’s just a matter of sitting down with everybody involved: Showtime, our partners M-1 Global, everybody, and just saying, ‘Look this is what we’re gonna do. How does everybody feel about it? Let’s take a vote and finalize it,’" said Tom Atencio.
