Daniel Cormier vs Josh Barnett
VS
Junior Dos Santos vs Overeem/Brock
Black Fedor looked great against Bigfoot.. can't wait to see him and Barnett fight.
I think Cain vs Barnett is a real interesting fight, that's who I want to see next no matter what happens.
Well gone is the Cormier wont fight Cain shit cause Cain aint the champ.
So if Cormier beats Barnett he could come to the UFC and fight someone like Carwin or Mir and if he wins that they could set up COrmier vs JDS/Reem/Brock for the title.
JDS if he beats Reem he will have the GP winner and Mir as future opponents.
Who knows Jon Jones in the next 18 months could jump to HW.
JDS has Werdum, Cro Cop, Nelson, Carwin, Cain, add in Reem/Brock, Barnett/Cormier and Mir he might be the best HW of all time.
Cormier looks great. I think he beats Josh. After that I'd like to see him tested in the UFC.
Chris27, Carwin vs Cormier would be nice. A lot of high level wrestling and striking power in the octagon in that fight.
Canooke - Chris27, Carwin vs Cormier would be nice. A lot of high level wrestling and striking power in the octagon in that fight.
Would be interesting, I think Cormier the way he looked vs Big Foot probably beats Carwin but if he beats Barnett they wouldnt give him a title shot in the UFC cause he wouldnt be known.
So you'd put him in with Mir or better yet Carwin so you can save Mir as a possible opponent down the road, you introduce Cormier to the UFC fans by having him face a guy like Carwin or Mir and if he wins that then he would be ready for a title shot sometime in the summer/fall.
Its anyones guess who is next after Brock/Reem.
I mean Cain could fight Mir and if he wins that fight he is right in the mix, if Werdum comes over and fights Shaub and wins he could get in the mix with another big win or two, Cain vs Werdum. Big Foot could come over, you have Mir who beat Cro Cop, Nelson and if he beats Nog he has as streak, a win over Werdum, Big Foot or Cain gets him a shot.
You have a few guys who could get that shot next year in the HW div.
Not me, just rewatched round 1 of the tourney, can't wait to see those two go at it! Josh looked good and showed a lot of respect for Cormier. Cormier looks very promising, has a great attitude/skills and looked relaxed and pretty sharp on his feet striking which surprised me. I'm really looking forward to this one. Tournaments rock.
...I initially thought you'd be referring to Brock/Overeem too btw.
Cormier is the only hope we have left to bring the title back to the states. JDS is gonna massacre everyone else.
