I'm not sure about it being the fight of the year, but I do think Cormier was very impressive and dominated every single round during the match.
Barnett is clearly done. To me it looked like a slaughter, whereby Barnett's height and reach advantage all went to shit as Cormier was out striking him and slamming him to the ground like a rag doll.
Cormier destroyed him in every possible way and due to such, I found the fight to be very one-sided. I'd love to see how well Cormier would do against seasoned strikers with slightly better hands the likes of Cain Velazquez or Dos Santos, I'm sure those would be great matches.
Did you guys check out Melendez versus Thompson? I thought that fight was more impressive with it going towards a split decision and both fighter putting up a pretty impressive match.
