If Barnett beats Fedor, will Dana White challenge him to come fight in the UFC ?
I will probably cry.
I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery
The odds are about the same as me really pulling a cobra out of my ass............ 50/50
"When" Josh wins. The year of the babyfaced assassin will begin!...It is written in ancient Maya texts!. And yes...Dana will finally invite him home, where he will quickly destroy Lesnar or Mir and take back his throne!
The cycle is about to complete!
White told the fan that he'd absolutely sign Barnett if Barnett beats Fedor.
"If Josh Barnett beats Fedor, obviously I'd be interested in signing Josh Barnett," White said. "If he beat Fedor, obviously, he's one of the best in the world."
I wouldn't hold it against Fedor if he lost to Barnett, but I think he's going to handle him without too much difficulty.
Right now, I'd pay to see any combination of Barnet/Fedor/Lesnar fight.
^ would be an awesome three-way dance

The universe would implode.
Fedor/Barnett/Lesnar in a triple-threat no-disqualification ladder match.
If he wins, he gets an offer he cant refuse from Lorenzo.
Crooklyn -greco yeoman - Fedor/Barnett/Lesnar in a triple-threat no-disqualification ladder match.
With barbed wire and thumbtacks!
lol I hated that scene in the Wrestler
He has a better chance than Roddick beating Federer.
If Barnett beats Fedor, then Barnett becomes the #1 HW in the world. Simple as that.
Right now, Fedor, Barnett, Brock, and Mir are 4 of the consensus top-5 ranked HW's - with Fedor being the universally ranked #1.
And Barnett isn't just some random non-top-contender who's abruptly getting a title shot from out of nowhere - he's been a perennial top-10, top-5 HW (as well as currently the consensus #2), who was also the last top contender from Pride that Fedor didn't face. (Barnett is also the only long-term-established top HW who is still at the top that Fedor hasn't already beaten.)
So the winner of Fedor-Barnett is the undisputed #1. The winner of Brock-Mir is the undisputed #2.
And thus the most compelling (and logical) possible progression would be to have the winners meet next - whoever they are.
There would be no bigger Superfight left in the HW division (with everything else then being a cut below) - whether it's Fedor or Barnett as the #1, facing whichever of Brock and Mir as the #2.

LOL at the word "cycle" popping up on a Josh Barnett thread. Oh, the ironing.
whistleblower - If Barnett beats Fedor, then Barnett becomes the #1 HW in the world. Simple as that.
I am Fedor's biggest defender and nuthugger and I agree with this.
If Fedor loses, I wonder if it really makes it easier for him to get into the UFC now that all the pressure of him being the #1 guy in the world is off.
Baffling to me that so many think Barnett has little or no chance. Good chin, good cardio, good size, good wrestling, good standup, good power, excellent grappling.
