[...] those UFC Mania commentators think that Couture could beat Barnett in a fight in 2007. Sam Caplan also thinks that Barnett’s comments are mainly a gimmick. They’re not. The fact that people are [...]

The guy tested positive for juice so what he says doesn’t mean anything to me nor have I any interest in seeing him in the UFC.

I just wanted to point out that Sylvester Terkay has fought under K1 rules against Remy Bonjasky(awesome dutch kickboxer) and controlled Remy the whole fight despite the judges bull decision against him.

HA, Barnett would never get to Randy cause he would have to get through Cro Cop, who already whipped his ass on several occasions. I’ll give him an “A” for effort though.

I’d like to see Josh in the UFC. I think you guys are being a little harsh on him… karma did get Josh back. When he fought in Vegas for PRIDE, he tested clean but was getting wrecked by the huge underdog Natsula, who was roided up. Guys like Nog and Arlovski have zero personality… at least Josh is consistently entertaining! Plus, the guy brings it every time. I think it’d be a bad night for Randy Couture.

“Someone should remind that fool that he tested positive for steroids after that fight and had his title stripped.”

Bingo.

And I don’t think it’s just a pro wrestling promo, I really think Josh Barnett believes that garbage.

I’d have to agree up to this point. He tested positive for steroids, his “win” can’t even be classified as such. It’s tainted. Therefore making his championship tainted as well. Besides, Randy has how many sucessful title defences in how many different tenures with the belt? Barnett barely won anything but a couple GP’s in Pride. In my opinion, you have to defend the belt to be called the Champion. Josh couldn’t even make it past the urine sample table with his.

What a spode, there’s a reason he’s the only decent Pride Heavyweight unsigned, other then Fedor. He disappear back in obscurity like he was before.

There is a little bit of a difference between him and brock though. I mean this is a guy who has a ton of credentials. Getting him back in the cage would be a good move (provided he is clean).

And yes everyone should recognize that dana white doesn’t have an ounce of credibility left when he talks. Now talking about shameless promoting………

HexRei brings up (yet again) a good point: why do roids users have their fights stand, and potheads don’t? is it because pot is illegal and roids (while controlled) are legal?
Also, Josh, someone did beat you to take that belt: it was your own steroids-using self. You beat your own ass. I respect this guy’s skills, I’ve watched him in ADCC before (Barnett-Kerr was pretty awesome) but that kind of trashtalk is stupid. Dana always shoots his mouth off. Barnett, get over yourself.

Give him a 1 fight deal and see what happens. Let Big Nog get 1 more fight under his belt before he fights Randy.

Someone should remind that fool that he tested positive for steroids after that fight and had his title stripped. He shouldn’t even have that win on his record, he cheated. And now he has the balls to call out Randy as if he these things never happened? I hope the fat repulsive loser never fights again.
