horn is an excellent wrestler and submission man, but Baroni can murder him standing. against Chuck, Horn got dropped while looking for the takedown, and i see the same happening. While Baroni's sprawl isn't quite as good as Chuck's, Baroni has the wrestling experience and power to keep it standing long enough to catch him.
and if the fight happened now, i see Baroni winning, because he wouldn't be gassed at least for the first two rounds. after fighting in Pride's 10 minute rounds, i don't see him having too much of a problem making it through the first couple rounds at his normal pace.
