Breakdown
Josh Barnett vs. Daniel Cormier
I don't think either man has a particular advantage in the stand up and I'd give Cormier the clear advantage in wrestling and Barnett the advantage in the submission game. Cormier will be too quick on the feet and will have the advantage in power. Barnett will need takedowns to win but no way he out wrestles Cormier. The age and lack of activity for Barnett won't be enough to beat Cormier who will out box and wrestle him.
