He beat Randy on steroids, he cheated.

what a disrespectful chump, granded he’s good, i still think today, right now, that randy would own him.. He’s on a different level now. He proved it against a bigger stonger grappler, and a bigger stronger striker in sylvia.. Randy all the way, dana make it happen!

Right. Barnett is an idiot.

Yes all real champs take steroids! Randy > Josh Barnett

yep barnett, bring it on. get your fat ass in the cage against randy at 44 cause he looks even better now. barnett talks alot of crap for a guy that has turned down a fight with fedor more times then i can count. then again i cant count really high.

randy vs fedor is the only fight left right now that matters.

barnett vs fedor is the fight that could of happened many times but never did and most likely never will.

The only reason he said it doesn’t have to be for the title is because he knows it’ll just get stripped after the drug test.

Barnett, just worry about yourself. You’ve lost two of your last three fights overall, as well as three in a row to CroCop, and your criticizing Gonzaga?? Win first, talk trash later.

Josh tapped out due to strikes against CroCop. Thats a coward for you.

What an ass this guy must be. It’s hilarious that people juicing up talk so much ridiculous bullshit like this and completely ignore the fact that they’re cheating fucks. I guess it generally takes that kind of a douche to take steroids in the first place…

Well he’s only lost to Big Nog, Cro Cop, and Pedro Rizzo in 25 fights. Not bad.

Why even give press to idiots like this? This isn’t news.

He’s only lost to Big Nog, Cro Cop, and Pedro Rizzo because they are the only tough guys he’s fought. Seriously, Semi Shilt? Dan Severn a hundred years ago? Those guys weren’t MMA fighters, they were tough but all you have to do is watch Ken Shamrock against Tito (or Rich Franklin) to realize that it was a completely different sport back then. Josh Barnett would get destroyed by Randy. The Natural gets better every time he fights.

if you were stripped of your title due to steroids, you have no right to talk. i think randy would take him out today.

He trick or treats for steroids daily

what an idiot, and i have been talk this guy up. all he has to do is sign the dotted line.

Gonzaga only has one noteworthy win but it is over a guy who has three victories over Barnett. I know MMA math means shit but add it on top of the steroids issue and he sounds like a douchebag. I would love to hear Randy’s response to this.

By him testing positive we will never know..if he can really beat Randy..The only one who beat him for the belt was himself.

seriously I do not think Gonzaga is in the top ten, not even close. UFC always has to hype up the match by making it look like the guy has a chance. They did this for KOS, Nate Marquardt, David Heath and so on.I’m not taking anything away from Randy, but the truth is Gonzaga will get owned in his next 3 fights.

I will definately be rooting for Couture…. but guys….. Barnett is no joke. You guys are under estimating him completely. The guy is HUGE and retarded at what he does. The Baby Faced Killer. ha

Sorry for the language. I was an enormous Barnett fan until 5 minutes ago. Really dissapointed. To talk about one of the classiest fighters in the sport after the problems you have had is disgraceful.

I bet we never hear a response from Randy on this. He’s too classy to dignify this crap with a response. Now Dana on the other hand . . .

Put him in the cage and throw him in the mix. I read awhile back he said the UFC hasn’t even contacted him. This is an obvious attempt at getting Dana to notice him, albeit a pretty immature way of doing it. I don’t know how long ago he tested positive, but I say let him get back in and put his money where his mouth is.

I love how he tests positive for steroids and then magically reappears on the scene in a league (Pride) notorious for not testing. I bet you he is still on them today.

I agree with everyone here. Josh is pathetic. He cheated in a fight against Randy and talks like nothing happened. What a freaking joke he is.

Haha, the popularity of the UFC is causing everyone to reach deep into the their bag of tricks to get a contract… except Fedor.

Josh Barnett is a buffoon! He says that he still has the UFC title because no one beat him for it! Hahaha what a moron! He was stripped of his title because his cheating ass was on steroids! That is WAY worse that being beat for the title! Then he wants to talk about Gabe Gonzaga…….. Gonzaga beat the absolute shit out of Cro Cop……Barnett is 0-3 against Cro Cop! What an idiot. Barnett is the real “paper” champ. He is a fake, a fluke, and a disgrace to our sport!

This Douche bag has no right to make any claims about Randy. Fight without steroids like Randy does, and then you might have a right to talk smack.

let josh fight lesner, they can dub the fight “ufc: steriods edition”.

josh barnett should be voted the funniest guy this year! Is he serious he lost the CHampionship belt long ago…. to Rizzo and when he lost to Mirko etc.etc. He fought during a time where it’s far from where the game is today. He needs to be quiet and stop trying to create a reason why anybody would even think about him coming back. He’s out of shape and hasn’t dominated in more than 5 years. josh who?

ohh yeah and if your goona take steroids atleast look the part. BADBODY BARNETT

I heard the UFC gave Randy, Joshs belt, he said ‘ew, this belt has steroids on it’.

He hadn’t ‘won’ the belt yet when he lost to Rizzo. And he managed to beat Nogueira once so it’s not like he’s a total tool, Barnett can fight. I’d like to see him in the UFC.

Now that Randy is 44 Josh probably feels he wont have to cheat to win!! I would like to see it happen as long Josh can stay “clean”.

We still need Fedor!! all other heavyweights at this point are second best!!

If the UFC wants to be #1 then they need the #1 HeavyWeight in the World and That is FEDOR!!

its all fucking relative barnett, you dummy. couture is better now than he was then. gonzaga shitkicked a guy who made you tap from strikes and cry like a girl. also, you were on steroids when you won. oh you forgot that? i guess the juice does a number on your little brain as well. that explains your comments.

I wanna see Mark Hunt in the UFC but the boy needs to loose some pounds.

Yep, nuh said!!

I would like to see a roid free Barnett against Randy of the present. Think it would be a good fight. wouldn’t dare call it tho’… Nowadays Couture fan or not should know better than to count out Randy. I think I may actually be becoming a Randy fan (I’ve never not liked him only been more into other fighters but he is definitely a respectful, talented dude that deserves the credit he gets)

- I changed my mind….

I would call Fedor winning over Randy but no one else…

I wouldnt mind seeing it either….

But I disagree with you when you say that “all other heavyweights at this point are second best” If Fedor does not sign with the UFC and continues to fight in smaller shows, then I think he loses his #1 spot. No doubt Fedor is a stud. But you have to give the #1 spot to the guy who fights and beats thw #2 #3 #4 #5 guys. Thats how you get the #1 spot. We do need Fedor in the UFC though! See how his skills translate to the Octogan.

This INSTANTLY made me think back to the interview with Rampage’s trainer Juanito Ibarra (sp of last name?) who had an astonishing answer when questioned about potential rematches of Rampage vs Shogun or Wandi. He said that over in Japan, PRIDE doesn’t do any sort of drug testing, so if the fight took place in the USA, it would be a different outcome. He was obiously hinting that those two were on roids. So it sure sounds like PRIDE was the place to fight if you got busted for roids…

Old washed up fighters like Josh Barnett, and young morons like Brock Lesnar have to say outrageous things like this, otherwise the entire MMA world would forget about them every 10 minutes.

I agree I am talking major shit here just to antagonize the UFC on how important Fedor is. They seem so stubborn on signing him. It just doesn’t make anysense he is # 1 on most all rankings I have seen and his record speaks for its self. So I will constantly blog in favor of his signing not really meaning to dis- on other fighters but the UFC needs to see the importance of getting this guy in the octagon!!!

Then you and I are on the same page. Good

The UFC signing Brock Lesnar after his shit talking sets a bad precedent for all future wannabes. All they have to do is say something outrageous and they get a contract? Also, Brock Lesnar has no proven track record. Blows my mind.

Hey I have an idea. We should sign Josh, Brock, Royce

Then they should have UFC 80: FULLY LOADED

Josh VS Brock
Royce VS Bonnar
Shrek VS Franka

Wicked!

I still want to see the fight. I would love to see RC beat him this time around. He may be talking crap but I want to see it go down. Dana please bring this big mouth in.

Lesnar vs Barnett

Battle for the Douchebag Roid Head Championship of the World.

No need to worry about groin shots being an issue!

He’s not a total loss but what the hell will be fighting
randy for?
If you want to see him fight then look at the old tapes.
Pedro still whooped his has.

I say sign him for 1 fight then put him against CC in the cage… =)

And yes, I think he would beat Randy again.

The next TUF should be all these half pro wrestling guys like Lesnar, Barnett, Kimbo, Sapp, Angle ect all fighting for one UFC contract. Now that show would get through the roof rating.

BARNETT NEEDS TO RETIRE.

Barnett is dillusional, didnt Cro Cop already beat his ass like 3-4 times now? How about a Barnett/Lesnar fight?

Josh does have some talent and he has a pretty good record but for him to come out like that and trash Randy, calling him the paper champ. I am sure his belt is on the same shelf as his Deca Durabolin, Cypionate, Enanthate, Winstrol, Propionate, Primobolan.

Dana should give Josh a 2 fight contract, but give him 6 months to clean his system and if he tests positive after the 1st fight then just fine him for 100% of his pay. If he wins then give him a shot at the current champ at that time

Randy has got himself in a good posistion at the top of the MMA mountain. There are always going be competitors looking up dreaming it was them. Josh is dreaming big time. Why, you ask? Especially when I think it would make a super tough fight. Well let’s face it… Randy has everyones respect and Barnett doesn’t. Randy has earned the right to choose his next opponent, especially since he wants to beat the best in MMA. And who are we to argue with him…really.

Barnett needs to prove himself. CC vs. Barnett (UFC debut)
then Maybe Randy will pay some attention. Wait for CC to get a win against Kongo (not that im expecting a loss here).
Then give these two a shot at the #1 slot if Fedor isn’t signed.

Randy wants the best and too say Barnett is the best right now is a lot like being a boy named Sue… You better be ready for a fight.

BZ.

Exactly! He was on roids! He should be careful or the public will start cleaning his closet out for him. I’m going to assume that he’s been on roids his entire career, with Pride not testing and his only test in UFC positive, it’s not that unreal of an assumption to make. Shutup Josh you cheater.

Big Zino, dont count kongo out, he’s a great striker and has a puncher’s chance with cro cop’s suspect chin. I think Josh barnett is a bad matchup for couture, that guy has some serious skills. It’s a toss-up in my mind

The UFC knows how important this is. Even though we are all ‘feenin to see Fedor, the reality is that you can’t allow your athletes to compete in other areas. Its like when a football player gets hurt from a motorcycle accident–you lose a huge investment and its not fair to the league(UFC). I promise you, if the UFC signs this guy you will see a marketing/hype extravaganza of levels never before seen in the sport. They can’t sign this guy only to watch him blow-out a knee a few months before that want him to fight in a huge pay-per-view. How pissed would you be if you bought tickets to UFC 99 and Fedor had to pull out? Yikes.

Does anyone remember Josh saying he would be asking for $1 million per fight? If that’s the case i really doubt we’ll be seeing him in the UFC anytime soon.

[quote comment=”137330″]I will definately be rooting for Couture…. but guys….. Barnett is no joke. You guys are under estimating him completely. The guy is HUGE and retarded at what he does. The Baby Fac

I agree, I dont know if he will beat Randy, but I know he has a better chance than most. He tested positive, but he’s had like 25 fights and who knows how many this guy has been clean for. Tim tested positive, was stripped of the title and got a title shot again, y shouldn’t Barnett.

He might be outta line wit the trash talk, but the guy is one of the top 5 Heavyweights in the world. He is no joke and whether he fights Randy or not isnt important. The important thing to do is to get this guy in an octagon so we can find out. I dont think he would be stupid enough to take em again, with his tainted reputation.

I say bring him in the UFC, He has the potential to beat:

Big Nog

Randy (Randy looks great but he has lost to barnett, I wouldnt mind seeing a rematch, I actually think besides Fedor and maybe Big Nog, Barnett might have the best shot at beating Randy

Arlovski

Verra

Big Tim (he would abuse tim)

Gonzaga(barnett would crush him…like I said all along he was a good but untested young fighter who was hyped up by the UFC and many of the fans bought the hype)

He has the POTENTIAL to beat cro cop (but like Rampage and chuck, mirco might just have Barnetts number, that doesnt mean he isnt a great fighter)

I kno he has ducked Fedor but lets face it Barnett and Couture are the only ones left wit a chance at beating Fedor.

I would welcome Barnett to the UFC

I hope Dana White mans up signs him, so we can c if e can back that talk up in the ring, clean this time.

I dunno about u guys but the Randy of Today vs. Barnett has the potential to be one of the great ones!

This is bullshit. Barnett cheated against Randy - steroids. I wish he’d learn some respect. Randy is 44 and still kicking ass. Gonzaga and Sylvia are anything but tomato cans.

LOL Josh is a joke and Randy would make him his beyotch. I would LOVE to see Randy teach this moron some manners, he’s a goof.

Randy win beat him………easily, he sucks.

I was about to comment but all of you pretty much took the words right out of my mouth..

First of all, Barnet does NOT suck, he could kick any of your asses.

Second, he was not really trashing Couture, he was trashing Dana for saying “there isn’t anyone in the world who can beat this guy” (which is a completely f****** retarded thing to say, to be honest), Barnett did cheat, and personality wise, he is an arrogant tool, but he is a great fighter, and i would give him a fair chance of beating couture. It would be Barnet 40%, Couture 60% odds in my opinion

Josh Barnett is a top heavyweight for sure. But, right now he just needs to close his mouth.

I would love to see the UFC sign Josh Barnett again….

Oh and by the way, Fedor is dying to compete in the UFC, but the stupid tossers that call themselves “UFC management” are refusing to allow him to compete ONCE A FUCKING YEAR in combat sambo.

[quote comment=”137305″]yep barnett, bring it on. get your fat ass in the cage against randy at 44 cause he looks even better now. barnett talks alot of crap for a guy that has turned down a fight with fedor more times then i can count. then again i cant count really high.

Didn’t cro cop beat the crap out of “baby face” 3 freaking times convincingly and who beat the crap out of cro cop convincingly?

Barnett has a tainted belt so it doesn’t count. Disrespectful douche. He would win against Couture though.

Free agent right? Is this an attempt to cause some controversy or something?

Dana White must be thinking “This guy is an asshole AND a douche bag…We need him!…Forget about Fedor”. I think not.

Hey Mania! Don’t give this guy any more attention!

He’s a free agent … that says it’s all.

He’s trying to hitch a ride on Randy’s current position and get somthing out of it for himself,

Randy would win via K.O

Go do some HGH you bum. Don’t piss on the Natural’s parade. Another Myspace warrior, what a joke.

As many have said Barnett is being an idiot.

There is no fighter I respect and admire more than Randy Couture. I think Fedor is still hands down the greatest fighter in the world, but Couture will always be my champ.

Yep, gonzaga is the real deal for sure. This fight will only make him better. Granted he probably did suprise (or get lucky) with crocop. As for shitface barnet, to echo this guy is a huge moron. There is a pride fight he has against crocop where he is obviously not on roids’ and his shoulder pops out right away. This guy needs roids’ and without is on par with timmy. When timmy gets the boot from ufc then these fatties can fight on some obsure card. Because we the fans do not wish or want josh barnett in the ufc. he has absolutely no appeal. Brock Lesnar does.

Roid Rage?

screw barnett what a chump roid freak

They are fighters, they talk shit and so would you. I bet even Couture(who is the man) probably talks a little shit every now and again. Some guys just aren’t dumb enough to do it in public. He’s not the greatest, but Barnett is far from being a shitty fighter.

quit talking smack on josh barnett. i love randy the man is seirous, but ALL fighters talk like this, and josh is a man who deserves respect. dont talk down to josh, but embrase that fact that we might see an ELITE frickin fight, im super excited that someone is willing to step up. seirously though, unlike fedor, josh wants randy right now. that shows something. its cool, so dont talk down to him and call him a chump. josh barnett is a good ass guy and a good ass fighter
