Former UFC Heavyweight Champions Barnett and Rizzo set to rematch at Affliction show
http://mmaoverdrive.com/2008/05/06/b...liction-debut/
Pretty big news for Affliction. This bout will be the co-main event of the Tim/Fedor showdown.
Should be a good fight. I got Barnett.
*Correction: MMAOverdrive originally reported this fight to be on the under card of a Randy Couture/Fedor Emelianenko fight. This was a reporting error on our behalf. The article has been corrected to the reality Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianenko. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Randy/Fedor???
Pedro Rizzo was the shit back in the day. Legit knock out artist at 240 and he chopped Barnett down like a tree with that right hand in the first fight. Dude has had trouble with wrestlers and looked terrible in Pride, but I'm still interested. I don't think Pedro is burned out yet.

This is going to be an awesome card! Isn't Lindland on it as well?

Barnett is still solid but I dont know about Rizzo, I havent seen much from hit lately that would make me think he can compete with Barnett.

Pedro seems to have gotten his groove back, so this should be a fun fight. It'll be nice to see Barnett go against a solid HW again. I love me some Yoshida, but he's too small.
I think Barnett takes this by TKO.

I don't think Pedro's grown much since his best days in the UFC, whereas Josh has only improved since he left for Pride. I think Josh can submit Pedro or finish him by TKO.

I got Barnett by some sort of submission as well, but wouldn't be surprised to see him ride Pedro the whole fight and get a dominant UD.

It's the co-main event of Sylvia/Fedor, Randy is still fighting for his contract (instead of fighting Nog like he should). I think Barnett takes it, and then later this year we can see Fedor/Barnett.
