    Me too....not only does barnett has the physical size advantage... but he's one of the rare "big" guys in the sport who knows how to defend and apply all kinds of subs...his wrestling is top notch too...

    Regardless of what happened between him and Crocop several years ago...today , i wouldn't give mirko a chance in hell against this guy...

    Barnett vs Fedor is "THE" HW fight ....the most important one at the moment... Mir vs Brock isn't... and i'm glad that affliction is making this one a reality for the fans of the sport....it's finally happening !

    No dana ****ing white to intervene... we're finally gonna have it ! **** yeah !!!

    No ****, I'm sure Attencio was really pushing for this because he needs a blockbluster show if he intends on continuing and this is the biggest fight that could be made. should be a good show I'm sure he will play all his cards possible with this show.

    Nice fight card

    fedor and barnett should be fun to watch. Im glad vitor belfort is fighting again. Mousasi is a good match up for him. I rather see Tim Sylvia vs Gilbert Yvel than a sylvia-buentello fight. I think yvel gives him a better fight.

    Sylvia likes to strikes and yvel is a dangerous striker. This should be a good fight.

    Is Mousasi staying at 185 then?

    I hope he does. He really is a top fighter and one of the best in the middleweight division.

    Mousasi vs Lawler would be great if Lawler beat Shields. I know, different organisation, but it would still be cool.

    Or Lawler vs Scott Smith 3 if Smith beat Diaz. or Nick Diaz vs Lawler 2

    It seem the better MW matchup arent in the UFC

    This is great news! I hope it is true. As far as the comment, Barnett "finally grew a set", Fedor and Josh are great friends and always said they'd rather not fight each other unless it comes right down to it and there is little choice. The time has come thats all. Its NOT Josh finally growing a set.

    ****


    I've always thought Barnett would be the guy to hand Fedor his first loss. I'm really dreading this fight

    Fedor and Barnett should be a cracking good fight. Been wanting to see this one for a long time. It would be nice to see Fedor extended in a fight for a change.

    Fedor i better than Barnett in every department.

    Fedor wins 90 times out of 100, Barnett has to win on the goround.

    I think Fedor is faster. I think he's also more explosive. I think if he's at his best he will win. But that remains to be seen.

    These guys were all in the UFC and were cut because they lost. And now they are the big dogs in a lower org and that means the UFC has nothing?:huh
