I think Cormier is going to TKO Barnett around the 2nd round. I don't see Barnett getting him to the canvas, and Cormier has the better hands.
Cain, Reem, JDS, Brock, Barnett, Mir, Carwin... I'm not sure there is a future. Someone will win but the only question is who can win and stay a winner (as champ), thats the future.
Cormier has got power but ko Barnett is a hard thing to do. Barnetts got decent hands and a solid chin, Kharitonov landet some bombs and Barnett survived it and even landet some shots on his own
Barnett could wear down Cormier with kicks which is something we haven't seen him respond to as yet. It's been a bad week for AKA with both Velzaquez and Cung Le losing - so Cormier would make for a nice hat trick. Barnett's the man with the tools to do the job.
Cormier looks like he's developing nicely as an MMA fighter, but we to see how he performs against Barnett before declaring him a top contender. Bigfoot was being grossly overrated by people because of the Fedor win.
