I hope that Cormier cuts to 205 and beats the shit out of that annoying prick Jon Jones.
Much love for Daniel Cormier.
Fuck Jon Jones in his mouth and fuck Greg Jackson, too.

Too bad Josh Barnett didn't come over.

I am a Barnett fan, but he is not in the league of Cormier, Junior, or that beaner with the mariachi band. Hell, I believe Big Country would work his ass over.
He needs to keep hanging out with Erik Paulson and pretending that he is the reincarnation of Farmer Burns.

I don't think Big Country would beat up on Barnett.
I do think that JDS, Velasquez and obviously Cormier, since he's already beaten Barnett handily, are all a step above.
I look at Barnett almost like Evan Tanner was at MW. Good enough to win the title against the right guy. Not good enough to hold onto it against the next one.

And popular enough and skilled enough to have plenty of interesting matchups in the UFC heavyweight division, which isn't exactly burning up the charts with talent.
Barnett might not beat Velasquez or Overeem but he'd have a great battle with Mir and anyone else. He's one of the very best wrestlers and submission guys in the division, and his standup isn't terrible. He's also a guy who doesn't quit easily and has a ton of experience. He'd have more than enough to do in the UFC.
But Dana and he don't get along. That's what it boils down to.
