....yet.
IMO, he has not ripened enough as a fighter where as Barnett is the greatest grappler he's ever been and likely has the ring/cage generalship to out smart Daniel Cormier. With Josh's craftiness and strength and size as a grappler, I expect him to submit Cormier.
Will Barnett's fight after that be a rematch with Mark Hunt for Josh's long vacated UFC belt? 
I'd say he's certainly the favorite. Nut at this level almost anyone thrown in there is a threat
Getting Cormier to the ground is a little more difficult than Brett Rodgers or khartonov. I think black fedor gets the KO. 
Cormier is a new type of fighter. Barnett is old school these days in MMA new school leads the way.
Cormier has some powerful hands and excellent footwork for a guy his size. Barnett better be working that jab so Daniel doesn't get in close enough to land a bomb or two...
I'll SN bet you right now I got DC all day.

Cormiers wrestling is not to be underrated and he has ko power not saying he's the favorite but def wouldn't count him out.
There are two questions I have, can Barnett get him down? I don't think so, but if he can I think he'll be able to sub him. If he can't get Cormier down, who will win the striking battle? DC has shown some crisp strikes, but Barnett is no slouch with his boxing either. I have a feeling the length of Barnett will win him the boxing war. This should be a great fight.

Cormier is a threat to anyone in the world right now. If he continues to improve like he has over the last couple years, he'll be scary.

While I'm picking Barnett to win the GP, I think Cormier is the real deal and I won't be surprised at all if he wins. This fight is so intriguing and my only hope is that both of these guys are UFC bound after this fight.
josh has better striking and subs, but thats obvious. i expect josh to win
DC is not going to beat Josh.
Cormier kos him ;/
Cormier all day. Faster. Better hands.
newflowerfeeder - "To think Brody, an accomplished guitarist, couldn't write the simple as fuck songs on the first album shows how little some of you know about music."It has tons to do with it when people are claiming someone else wrote her songs, insinuating she didn't have to the ability to write the "fisher price my first punk riffs" that the album was full of. Nobody is claims John Lennon had to have someone write his tunes, so that shit is irrelevant.
What? One has nothing to do with the other.
"Accomplished" guitar playing has little to nothing to do with songwriting and creating music/art that touches the public and influences culture. Tim did it TWICE with Operation Ivy and Rancid. To write off punk rock as "simple" is so besides the point and misguided that, honestly, I'm not sure why I'm even typing this. John Lennon couldn't hold a candle to Steve Vai, but would one even attempt to compaire the song of The Beatles and...whatever the hell albums Vai recorded? Don't think so.
Look, Brody is entertaining. No doubt. I'm sure she's cool as shit, and I hope she experiences great success. But I'm not feeling the whole "Tim controlled my life" crap. He guided her career. He was her manager, record label and lover. Sticky situation, no doubt. But the fact of the matter is he gave her lift off. Period. She would have been just another struggling punk musician like everybody else if not for the MASSIVE boost in attention she got for being Tim's girl.
Not hating. Just honesty. Again, I'm a big fan of Sing Sing Death House.
Why is it so inconceivable to people that she wrote those songs? Oh because one punk rock band sounds close to another? Whats that? The songs have distortion? three chords? and attitude? Surely Tim must have wrote those songs!
Yeah Tim helped her out immensely but he also told her what she could do and couldn't, told her who she could play with and couldn't and as well as what friends she could have.
If you think she is making this shit up then why did Tim BLACKLIST the guys in her band when they wouldn't give up their only source of income because Timmy had a broken heart? Andy and Ryan said all of a sudden one day all their friends they had in the oakland/east bay area wouldn't return calls or talk to them in person.
Black Fedor KO's Barnett in the first.
Josh via standing guillotine. Cormier shoots in for a single, leaves his neck out, and goes to sleep.
It could happen.
