Three of Barnett&#8217;s five pro losses have come against Mirko CroCop, who lost a decision to Fedor in August 2005. Barnett is also a submission specialist with knockout power, as 15 of his 24 wins have come by submission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Babyfaced Assassin&#8221; has won four straight since losing to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira., but he&#8217;ll be a major Affliction betting underdog in this contest.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Betting services \" href=\"http:\/\/www.payperhead.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Betting services<\/a> are backing Fedor at -500 to retain the WAMMA (World Alliance Mixed Martial Arts) belt that he won from Sylvia, but many MMA fans are already talking about a possible superfight between Fedor and UFC champion Brock Lesnar, who destroyed Frank Mir at UFC 100 to win the title. However, Fedor can&#8217;t afford to look past Barnett, who has proven himself to be one of the top heavyweights in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Barnett has plenty of stamina as four of his last five fights have gone to the third round.
