UFC planned for Josh Barnett vs. Junior dos Santos before negotiations failed.

Damn, Dana must really hate JDS, Barnett could give any HW fits. I'd say Cain, and JDS would do the best to negate Josh's wrestling but I'd never count Barnett out.

They don't let UFC stars fight outsiders unless they are sure the UFC fighter will win.

yeah that was probably the hardest matchup for JDS out there....besides Cain and Cormier

barnett is not a outsider he is a former ufc fighter

This would have been a good fight. I think JDS would win this Barnett doesn't have the striking to make JDS have to worry about anything other than the takedown which is how Cain gave him trouble when he beat him.
