    I think Cormier is very game in this fight but I don't think he has enough natural talent and skill to overcome Barnett's experience. Barnett should grind out a close UD. Regardless, I'm looking forward to both guys in the UFC.

    Agreed tho I can't stand Barnett and I hope baby fatty pulls it out somehow. Baby fatty's hands have come a loooong way as evidenced by his KO of Lop dick Silva.

    Perhaps Cormier can use his wrestling to defend against being takin down by that tricky D&D nerd bastard and beat him up standing.

    Let us hope so.

    Also I forgot to add that I'm most excited over the Fejao vs. Mike Kyle fight. Thats sure to be the most explosive bout of the night.

    DC looked really good last night. His wrestling and handspeed kept Josh off balance all night. I haven't seen Barnett look so confused in a long time. I tell you what though when Barnett got a hold of DC's leg I thought it was going to be over. It will be interesting to see how DC does against the UFC HW roster.

    Yes Cormier did AWESOME ! Virtuoso performance, that slam was wicked !

    I too was having flashbacks of Lesnar vs. Mir 1 thinking Barnett could slap on some crazy leg submission, but thankfully Cormier slipped out of it and continued to whip the big nerd's ass.

    Barnett is one super tough bastard I will give him that. And he's dangerous as ever.

    Let's face it, Cormier made Barnett look like anything but a 'War Master' or whatever he was calling himself. Expect to see Cormier in the UFC soon. He is fun to watch, with a lot of potential, and is smart enough to ease into the UFC without taking on more than he can handle the first couple of fights. It's hard for me to figure out what Barnett was thinking, because with all his experience he should have won that fight. Of course, that's what makes boxing and MMA so exciting, you never know who's going to win.
