I think Barnett, or anyone else for that matter, will have to find a balance between being aggressive when he can but to be careful about trying to finish Fedor too quickly. Fedor is a great counter striker and can take a lot of punishment then come back quickly. I think AA had him on the ropes a bit but went for the kill too quickly and got sloppy. You can't be sloppy around Fedor.
