Since Werdum is out of the Olinynk fight. Barnett just got cleared. Equally as interesting fight.

[ClosetVitorFan]

I'm down for that replacement.

 

[thewhiterooster]

I support that choice. I could see Barnett wanting to fight in Russia... would cain be ready by then? maybe mark hunt? otherwise, I don't see any headline worthy heavyweights who'd be available.

 

[Workaholic]

Not just as interesting to me at all

But more interesting than any alternatives they're likely to find so I'm on board

 

[Moral Victory]

Lol if it isn't fate, makes sense imo.

 

[SuperNerd]

I don't hate it

 

[Zodd]

Perfect time for Jon Jones to stepup...

I think it's a closer and more intriguing fight.

I don't think Olinynk is catching Werdum anytime soon and Werdum will beat him in the standup. Barnett is far more of a toss up fight.

Josh Barnett the clean option. What a world we live in.

I agree with all of that but I'd rather watch 2018 Werdum compete than 2018 Barnett any day of the week lol

He's less shot imo and there's the chance he'll pull of a beautiful KO or sub where with Barnett I really don't know what we're going to see but I don't have high hopes it will be anything amazing

 

[Kekonaut]

Isn't he like 50?

I think it's a closer fight but their grappling can negate one another and it just turns into a sloppy stand up brawl. Which I'm ok with.

Hes 40 but he's been around so long he seems like 50.

 

[TCE]

Alexander Volkov vs. Alexey Olinyk would be better, imo. Being in Russia and all.

your off a decade lol

I really hope they just have a gentleman's agreement to grapple because I think that's the best case scenario for this one

I'd watch them compete on the mat all day but I don't really want to see these two trying to swang and bang in the 4th and 5th rounds it'll get real ugly

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

well I hope they make this fight happen

 

[Kekonaut]

40 is the new "prime".

 

[NobodyNothing]

Too bad Mir is gone to Bellator, also a fun matchup.

You read my mind. Why not 2 Russians in main event?

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Too bad Mir is gone to Bellator, also a fun matchup.

Mir is 10 times more shot than Barnett. 20 times more shot than Werdum. Barnett, olynik and Werdum all beat 2018 Mir. He's done.
