that accounts for two fights. Barnett still lost the one at Pride 30. There's no reason to believe Mirko wouldn't crush him in a 4th fight.

I thought they were going to do a Gracie/Yoshida match?
I heard that is a possibility, too. But the rumours I've heard have kept up with those circling around Barnett v. Gracie.

I don't know which would be a bigger draw in Japan.

Wasn't Yoshida v. Royce one of the biggest fights ever over there?

If I had to guess: not an MMA fight.

The announcers of the ShowXC card tonight mentioned that Josh has a pro wrestling match set to take place in the near future. I don't know the details, but I'm almost positive I heard them say that.

I'd really like to see him fighting more regularly. I highly doubt that he'll find his way back to the UFC. He's got connections with WVR, but there isn't anyone special there for him to fight. He could fight Cro Cop again in Dream, but I doubt Cro Cop would take that fight right now.

It's interesting to think that Fedor, Aleksander, Barnett, Couture (for another year max), Sylvia, and AA (possibly), are floating around with no real home. The coming year could bring some interesting matchups.

I know Sylvia is signed but I think that Monte Cox will allow him to fight in other organizations for the right price.

My wish would be for EliteXC to somehow have enough money to sign all of the above named fighters. They're HW division would be the best in the world. And it would instantly propell them light years ahead of where they currently are. I feel the same way about Dream. Probably even more so for Dream considering they have such a deep LW division.

I would like to see Sylvia vs. Barnett, Arlovski vs. Barnett, and Fedor vs. Barnett.
