I go as far to say that Barnett will win it mentally standing, to finish it on the ground. Same as with the Aleks fight.

I think Barnett will avenge his loss. He's developed a whole lot since the two last met.

Also, when compared to Monson, Barnett has the edge on striking and a pretty good height/reach advantage. Monson struggles against the bigger guys because he's so compact, which isn't a concern with Josh, since he's a pretty big dude. I think in the end Josh will take Rizzo out catch-wrestling style.

Oh yeah, I just remembered that Josh and Monson are actually fighting each other before this one. No doubt I'll be favouring Barnett in that bout as well.

Gotta go w/ Barnett, though the manner in which he wins will be hard to top the way he got KO'd in their first fight. Man that was VICIOUS!

Barnett is one of the best submission fighter in the world.I think he'll win by sub easily!
Well...i must admit that probably he's my favourite fighter (with Arlovski)...

I understand your reasoning, but why start a thread if your tired. You probably will get more tired after reading all the quotes

His takedowns are not going to be hampered by being this weirdly small guy who has a hard time getting people down with good TD defense.
Monson is poorly underrated, he is a great fighter IMHO.

Barnett > Monson, but not much, this could also be a great fight

Didn't he say he wanted to stand with Rizzo in his last interview? I thought he did. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if he got knocked out again.
