Josh Barnett Picks Daniel Cormier to Beat Roy Nelson

---

Josh Barnett, on “Beatdown,” discussing the UFC 166 matchup between Daniel Cormier and Roy Nelson:

“I absolutely believe in D.C. I know he’s going to win this fight. I think his skillset will off-balance Roy. I think he’s in better shape. I think he’s got more in his gas tank and he’s quicker. Roy’s thing is to use his bulk and his size and be a tank out there and to roll up on a guy, take shots, take three, four, five, wing back one and press a guy into the cage, get his weight on him, get him on the floor and smother and get heavy on top of a guy. He’s not doing that to Daniel. He’s not taking him down. … I just don’t see it happening.”
