Barnett wins this. He's one of most well-rounded HWs fighting today. Rizzo just never evolved as a fighter as much as Josh did. I think it will be an entertaining fight no matter how it plays out.

I would go with Barnett based on the fact that he has more tools in his arsenal.

My biggest problem with this fight is that Josh is one of those fighters that most people place in their Top 5 HW category. If Fedor gets trashed for his recent fights I imagine the same will happen with Josh. He needs to fight Top 10 fighters to maintain that upper echelon notoriety.

I think he stands and trades as well. He'll test the waters to see how he wants to finish rizzo. I'm sure everyone who wants to avenge a loss wants to do it in dominating fasbion. He wants to k.o him

Who has Barnett beat?

IMO he lost both fights to Nog, lost twice to CroCop, was getting beatdown by Aleksander Emelianenko until he caught him and beat Hunt.

Then he beat Kondo, Nakamura, Nastula, Hunt.

None of the guys he faced presented problems like Rizzo does, except CroCop, and he lost twice to him.

Rizzo is a bad match up for Barnett. Barnett is not willing to take a Rizzo leg kick to land a big right hand like Kharitonov and that other short russian guy were. I think this fight will go down much like the first one.

And in 90% of rematches, the winner of the first fight wins again.
