Rogers impressed me against Fedor but seemed to be gunshy against Overeem. I haven't seen his latest fight but I'm surprised that he was taken the distance by a lower-quality opponent. It seems like he may have lost that explosiveness and determination that made him perform impressively in the past.
It seems like Barnett is the sensible pick. He hasn't fought top opposition for a while but his overall skillset is above and beyond BR's.
I see Overeem ensuring that he never leaves his feet against Werdum, who is weaker on his feet than Overeem is on the ground anyway. The win over Fedor was impressive but I don't feel that Werdum's stand-up is good enough to take it.
I'll go with Barnett via sub and Reem via KO.
