Goodridge to replace Emelianenko
Posted: Saturday July 19, 2008 12:30PM ET
Veteran fighter Gary Goodridge (23-17-1) has stepped in to replace Aleksander Emelianenko (13-3) and will fight Paul Buentello (25-10) at Saturday's "Affliction: Banned" event. Buentello confirmed the opponent switch with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) just a few hours after Friday's weigh-ins. The California State Athletic Commission said Emelianenko didn't meet licensing standards minutes before he was scheduled to weigh in at the Honda Center in Anaheim, the same venue that hosts tomorrow's FSN- and PPV-televised event. "It's official," Buentello told MMAjunkie.com. "We weigh in at around 11 (a.m.) tomorrow."
