According to Tatame.com if Antonio "Big foot" Silva defeats Jim York on September 23rd he will be given a heavyweight title shot against Josh Barnett at Sengoku 10.
There is something eerily similar about Silva and Barnett. Maybe they are both Scorpios. Oh, now I remember! They both tested positive for steroids and were suspended by the California State Athletic Commission.
Antonio Silva (12-1) is the former EliteXC heavyweight champion and was suspended for Boldenone use in 2008. Silva has not fought in the United States since the positive test. Josh Barnett (24-5) was suppose to fight Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction: Trilogy but tested positive for Drostanolone prior to the event.

My Take from Keyboard Kimura
Yeah, I’m shamelessly self-promoting… you got a problem with that?
