I just found this Post I guess Fedor hurt his hand vs Sylvia and Arlovski vs Barnett is on. Who do you guys think takes it. Personally I think This will be a tough match up for both fighters and the winner will definitely take on Fedor for the belt. I got Arlovski winning on the feet but I think Barnett has the ground game for sure along with some good striking. Personally I think Barnett will take this one I see it going similar to the Rizzo vs Barnett fight but It could go either way. Your thoughts Guys.
I got Barnett winning via UD

i think Arlovski has the takedown defense to keep it standing, when here has the advantage.
Arlovski round 2 KO

Josh will manhandle him standing and if it goes to the ground he has way better leg locks. I think Josh will rip AA's ACL in two in the second.

 .... AA will toooool Barnett standing and on the floor hes no slouch. He has enough to cope with what Branett throws at him and more. AA FOR THE WIN!!!

Barnett has way underrated boxing but not to AA's caliber. I will see double leg locks and they will both tear there ACL lol

I think if AA looked great in his last fight but I also feel he let everything go due to the compition he was fighting. I don't want to call Rothwell a can but hes no Josh Barnett. I wonder if the stress of fighting another top guy will get to him like we saw in many of his last UFC fights.

barnett will put arlovski on his back where arlovski feels the least comfortable and i see him being able to finish him there maybe with some sort of a submission like a kimora

hmmm... gotta go with barney on this one. It's a close call though, Andrei could score a TKO. While Arlovski is the better striker, I think Josh's standup is good enough to keep it competitive when it's standing, and when it hits the ground I think it will be all Barnett. Arlovski isn't bad on the ground but Barnett is better and he's also a little bit bigger.
I'm more interested in this fight than I was in fedor/arlovski but it's disappointing to see him out with these hand injuries again. It's going to be rough on Affliction if it continues. I see his hand being his eventual reason for retirement. He's always had problems with it.

As big as barnetts head seems to be, i think it will be a perfect target for the big right of AA! I remember watching the after fight interview and hearing things like "yeah the are good but they aint me"?? and i thought wow i hope this ass fights arlovski and gets his ass handed to him. now i get to see it and i will take an av bet on this! arlovski by tko!
