The Fedor fight will take place either this year or next year, methinks. It is just a matter of time.

I don't see why they don't bring JOsh back to the States. The dude is looks like Flash Gordon, is charming and interesting, and fights like a sociopathic grizzly bear.
HAHAHa awesome description man. And i agree i want him in the US now! Elite XC should have him fight big foot or something maybe brett rogers.

sorry, but barnett would be best served by working through the guys in the UFC. He would have some great matches with mir, maybe mccully (the jury's still out on this guy), gonzaga, herring, etc...

I'm curious as to why Dana refuses to even talk to Barnett.

Dana tends to bury anyone not in the UFC or not on their radar, but it sounds more personal with Barnett. Wonder what happened to create the animosity.

There were money issues before Josh won the belt...Plus I don't think Josh and Dana ever liked each other personally - could be wrong, but I can see how these two would clash.

I think the fiasco with the failed/passed drug test involving Barnett after his fight with Couture - the fact the UFC didn't support Barnett like they have other fighters who have tested positive, speaks volumes about how bad the relationship is between UFC management and the Babyface Asssasin.

Here's the story if you want to find out more.

I am hoping for a Dream HW tournament.

Final round:

Fedor v. Barnett!

That would be AWESOME!!!

I wouldn't think Fedor would do an entire tournament for DREAM. We'll probably end up seeing Josh/Crocop 4.
