I know Josh personally and if he said he wasn’t asked to fight then he wasn’t asked to fight. As far as Roy Nelson being a better fighter than Josh.That’s a pretty lame statement considering Josh’s rankings.

Btw Derek
Barnett wanted to avenge his loss to Pedro
Affliction needs to spread out their top tier fights

AA is going to get submitted by Barnett (clear cut #2 HW?)
Nelson is a better fighter than Barnett?
Fedor is ducking Barnett?

Powers, are you related to Roy or what? A better fighter? Dude might be a better bowler, beat Josh in a hot dog eating contest, or be more likely to be mistaken for a Yeti…but, he’s not a better fighter.

The real question is why is Fedor ducking Barnett. Barnett is the only guy even in pride that was at the top but didnt get a shot at him. And now for some reason he has to fight Rizzo and AA. You know Barnett will whoop dat ass. Quit protecting Fedor.

This is a question that has been on any serious mma fan’s mind for awhile. “What is it going to take for Josh Barnett to get over in America?” He should have fought Arlovski already instead of Rizzo. Barnett is only getting better and is having a harder and harder time fighting, WHY? Somebody enlighten me please

I really did not believe he turned down this fight because of a cut in pay .Barnett is going to be fighting for Sengoku on Nov.1st.Arlovski get’s a better match up here with Roy Nelson because he would have been submitted by Barnett who is the 2nd best heavyweight in the world after Fedor it’s NOT Randy Couture.

How f*cked up would that be, if Barnett v Arlovski was on the UNDERCARD of Kimbo v Shamrock.

I guess they wanted to save Arlovski vs Barnett for their own event? Unless one of them actually fights Fedor next

Big Country is a very dangerous guy. He’s going to one day surprise the crap out of someone… I don’t think AA is that guy.

AA v. Barnett would have been a great fight. Too bad we get Roy instead.
