Prediction: Cormier  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

The only question is: Would this bring a bigger smile to Dana's face than Machida/Ortiz? :)

Prediction: Barnett  |  Submission  |  Round 2

Barnett has a ton of advantages on paper.....but an Olympic level wrestler with quickly developing striking skills, and one of the best camps in the world to train with makes this a hard fight to pick.

Prediction: Barnett  |  Submission  |  Round 2


i got barnett by the fact that cormier has a 50% chance of breaking his hand again and i also think barnett can trip cormier and get on top of him and G n" P him to a win. even an olympic wreslter can be tripped in the octagon.

Tough fight to pick.  I pick Barnett via experience.  Cormier's hands have looked very good recently, but Barnett's no slouch on the feet; he looked pretty good against Kharitonov and Crocop.  Barnett will have a slight weight advantage, which could play to his favor on the ground where he's especially dangerous.

Barnett via YOU WA SHOCK!!

Im picking Barnett for two reasons. 

1. I think he is the better fighter of the two.
2. More experience.

I may be alone but I think Cormier upsets Barnett. Cormier by decision.

This is a really tough fight to pick but I will stick with Barnett because he needs the win if he wants back in the UFC.

I'm with @Death here, but I don't see it as a huge upset...Its really hard for me to pick against an Olympic caliber wrestler...especially when that wrestler was in a match for an Olympic medal!

Prediction: Barnett  |  Submission  |  Round 1

My thoughts on the tournament in the beginning was that whoever won between Kharitanov and Barnett would be the overall winner. But I think "The Warmaster" better be on his game Cormier has proven in the past that he is a gamer so we could possible see an upset here.

I want Barnett to win just so Dana doesn't know what to do with him.

cormier all the way cause barnett can't take down the olympic wrestler. i hope they both end up in the ufc tho. barnett would be a gain to the hw divison if he keeps his ass clean.
