Josh Barnett
"(TRT) should be nobody, or everybody. It's kind of a weird gray area that just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. ... But also, when I was fighting in the early days and it was completely lawless, I knew guys that were on body-building levels of stuff, and I still beat the living crap out of them. So, I know that there is a major difference between being a great fighter and being a champion, versus whatever external usage you think (will give you an edge)."

I really hope Georges Barnett will win to show what Fedor's friends are made off !
Barnett seems slimmer. I have the weird feeling that he is going to walk through Cormier like nothing.
imo That's weird !
he is the alpha and the omega!
I think he has a chance of beating cormier due to experience. Cormier might do the lay and pray game on Barnett to win though,.
Thats my thoughts, noobs dont know him at all.
Barnett is one dimensional.He has not evolved imo
If his fights do not go to the ground then he is in serious trouble against any of the top 10 ufc heavyweights
I have to agree with that to an extent. His size does help him get past that obstacle though. Even when guys seem to hurt Barnett they rush in for the kill and Josh gets a hold of them, then it turns around. We'll see, Im interested to see how far he can go.
