I think this is a fight junior could actually win compared to the last couple fights he had.

If this happens I got Dos Santos by KO round 1.

This will come down to who is more past their prime.

Would rather See Fedor vs Overeem, Barnett or Kharitonov!

Please stop fedor, we need to see if he is eligible for a stimulus check or something.

I think who ever lands first wins.

Barnett vs Fedor is the fight I would like to see as this was supposed to happen in Affliction years ago, but got canceled, due to Barnett testing positive for steroids.

Fedor is the GOAT.

I wish he would retire.

These fights are just coin tosses regarding who gets tagged first.

No real legacy implications.

Of course I will watch…

Why?

Barnett Fedor at Affliction both guys were still in good form (although Fedor was starting to plod).

Now?

Fedor doesn’t have his chin anymore, and Barnett has been sluggish for a while.

What does it accomolish?

I used to like these “masters division” matchups.

But the more I see, the more I feel like they are just set ups for disappointment.

Sadly this. I will be more sad for the loser than I will be happy for the winner.

JDS will take this easy. I'm a big Fedor fan, and he's without question the goat HW as far as I'm concerned but he's been a one trick pony since Strikeforce really. He was at his best when he relied on his sambo. Then he started getting knockouts and fell in love with his hands and his speed and immortal chin were big factors in his success. The Fedor of old would ragdoll JDS.

JDS is on the decline for sure but has been much more active then Fedor and has been fighting top competition. Plus the biggest thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is the lack of USADA. JDS on the gear will be a monster.
