Josh Barnett Calls Out Couture

The following is from Josh Barnett's MySpace blog:

Let's get straight to it and say that Randy did a phenomenal job at UFC 74 in defending his title. As a fan and a fellow Washingtonian I was happy to see him win. But as for the title itself -- it still sits in my house. No one in UFC ever beat me for it, and as far as I am concerned, no one in the UFC can be the heavyweight champion until they take that belt off of me in the cage.

At the post fight press conference, Dana White said "there isn't anyone in the world that can beat this guy" in reference to Randy. All this because Randy beat a guy that had less than ten fights and only one noteworthy win? That's not even a world championship level fight, let alone reason to proclaim the winner as "unbeatable". This comment was made even more ridiculous by the fact that I was standing right there, living proof that Randy Couture is definitely beatable.

"Unbeatable", Dana says. If he actually believes that, I'm more than willing to step into the cage and prove him wrong. It wouldn't even have to be for the belt. I already got the real belt. They can keep their pile of brass they purport as the UFC Heavyweight Title and put it on their next paper champ.

Wow.

Their first fight was a good one. Seeing these two titans go at it again would be great. Very good even match-up.

problem is that Barnet forgets he was stripped of the tittle for being a cheater. He is not the champion, he is a druggy that forgot to get off the juice long enough to pass the piss test.

I like Josh, but he has to be real. He is not the champ, he is a cheater that got nailed. If he came back clean then beat everyone I would be impressed. I still say Fedor should take the belt then guys like Barnett have nothing to say but ..."he kicked my ass then, he could do it again" and be done with it.

"Nobody gives a shit about Josh Barnett, especially me."
-Dana White

Sadly, we won't see Barnett in the UFC. EVER.

couture could never knock out barnett.
nor could he pull off the greco roman dirty boxing clinch stuff against barnett. barnett would grapple couture to death. ending pick one.

Yah, but Randy was smart enough not to act like a ass and get basically banned from the UFC. Josh is a roid rage moron that can fight, but needs better handlers.

Josh needs a payday so now he is trying to rattle Randy's cage.

Captain America would simply defeat him by "Love-Handle" wrench in the third round.
