Josh Barnett promises to crack heads, drink blood and kill his opponent in Strikeforce debut

And tells MMA Weekly that he's aiming for a CBS debut so the whole world can witness it...
"When it comes down to it, the thing that matters most to me is being able to fight. I just want to make sure I can get out there and crack as many heads as possible ... [Visibility] matters big time, 'Cause when I dislocate and tear somebody's head completely off their shoulders and spew blood all over the ring, and then drink it, I want the whole world to see it. I'd love to fight on CBS. Punch somebody so hard that their eyeballs pop out of their head. We haven't really hit on any solid dates yet or anything like that, or even opponents ... In due time. There's not too many people all that chomping at the bit and so ready to meet their death."
Controversial heavyweight fighter Josh Barnett promises all sorts of carnage in his Strikeforce debut, which I suppose is better than the sodomy he promised at Impact FC earlier this year against Geronimo dos Santos. Still, fighters have come under fire recently (Mir, Cerrone) for wishing death upon their opponents and "The Babyface Assassin's" comments certainly fall under that category. Is the former UFC champion and current pro wrestler (Japan) delivering his standard kayfabe interview to keep people buzzing? Or is he crossing the line in an effort to resurrect his stateside career?

I really loved it when he was on inside MMA and trying to convince everybody (including himself) that it whas the fault of the proteine and supplements manufacturers and trying to include sean sherk in to it.

word
this guy is one step away from Tim Sylvia, big non athletic douche bag cheaters
'How's taste my pee pee pee?'
I don't know closer
BArentt is great grappler, but how big and strong is he without help? I’m interested to see but I think someone with his background should also get tested a month or two after the fight has been signed. Why wait tell after the fight with a background like his that is not fair to his opponent either.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
He has skills Puck, but he is not athletic and is awkward, but
I think with his background he should be banned for life Olympics style. This is a combat sport, not a game teams are playing to put a ball in a net, lives are on the line and I think this kind of cheating is too dangerous to keep giving chances.
'How's taste my pee pee pee?'
i have no problem with lifetime bans after the 3rd offense. 6 mnths for the 1st, 2 years for the second and lifetime ban (including cornering within the sport) for the 3rd.
Previously DrewMoney$$$ "banned from sbnation" ...

Going MLB style, huh?
I totally agree. I think lifetime bans are warranted for fighters who repeatedly flaunt the rules. Only change I would make is to start at a year since 6 months is a somewhat typical layoff to begin with.
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
Good point Greg!
What’s 6 months in the fight game? Like you said, some take that off between fights anyway. A year for the first offense, 2 years for the second and lifetime for the third!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
I like Drew's idea
but do not diminish the risks in other sports like football. We seem as MMA fans to love to sight that there have been many more deaths in football than MMA but then in the next breath talk about how life threatening it is as compared to other sports.

Why is he Promising Crackheads....
That he will drink Blood and kill his opponents?

Cheat?
Then how do you feel about the UFC having a chemically created HW champ?
Its one thing to cheat to get big and then stop..
Then to cheat even when your big, we can’t complain about Brock because hes never failed a UFC drug test.
NOBODY wants to fight Fedor, Except: Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, JDS, Roy Nelson, Cain Velasquez, and the rest of the UFC heavyweight division.
Shouldn't the same be said about Carwin?
He’s never failed a drug test in the UFC and people are calling him a cheat

I'm sure Carwin was just buying those steriods to get them off the street.
But in all seriousness I hate when fighters get tried by the court of public opinion, and I think Overeem is the best example of that. I would rather give people the benefit of the doubt until proof of wrong-doing is discovered.

That is true
It was also stated back in Pride doing the juice was ok. It is also known athletes with injuries have used the juice legally to recover. The problem is Barnett when juicing was not allowed by 2 organization he fought for and was caught twice and in SF juicing is not allowed and I think there should be extra measures takin with his background. Carwin buying was not in his UFC days. Even though Carwin has doubt around him he takes the same test Barnett, Sherk and others have been caught by. As well there are so many legal supplements out there many of these guys have the ability to get the latest and greatest.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Actually, Lesnar has never failed a drug test anywhere.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
That is true
And he was as big in college as is he is now.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
... and that is exactly what he states in interviews.
He won’t say, “I’ve never taken steriods.”
Just that he hasn’t gotten caught.
If you believe that he never has, I have some beachfront property in WVa for sale.
LMFAO Thats an air brushed photo of Brock, notice no sword?
Here’s one after a WWE match thats not air brushed
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
so you're saying he never did steroids?
if you do that’s the most ridiculous thing on the entire planet.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic !
Why's that Roberto because big and strong.
There’s guys in the olympics that go through hardcore drug testing and are as big and ripped as Brock. With hard work it is possible. Now during he WWE days he did have HGH on him that at first was though as roids. HGH at the time was not banned. Is it possible he does? yeah as possible as anybody else but not because of his size.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
That photo was taken before he got the sword tat.
He wasn’t born with a sword on his chest you know. ;)

That is true but none the less it's still air brushed look how dark the arm tats are.
Were the pictures below(later in his WWE career)show clearly he looks much the same as today. But showing a air brushed photo of Brock proves nothing.

The dump I took this morning is more interesting than this guy.
Don’t get busted again!
Facebook is for gays!
tell me more about this dump please. i certainly don't wanna discuss that roid douche
"NOBODY wants to fight Fedor." - Wanderlei Silva, former Pride MW Champion and GP winner
he should just corner megumi and help her. this, i am going to kill my opponent has become a cliche for mma
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez. The most hated and misunderstood person on the MMA blogs.. Utah and Boise take care of business in week one. Don't be surprised if they both go undefeated.

the difference between those other "kill my opponent" comments
And this one is that those were to a specific person (mir on lesnar and cerrone on varner).
Douchebag barnett just tries to get his name out there by trying to stir up some controversy , what a attention whore.

i wonder if strike force will make him apologize
later today,or towards the end of the weekend.
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
Finally he gets better competition
Id say he is more deserving of a title shot then bigfoot
Neither one of them lost so I don't see it happening.
Instead Strikeforce is gonna be happy not having anyone fight and giving Fedor a rematch with Mr.Boring that he does’nt even deserve. Till then everyone is gonna call eachother out and say they fight everyone, Same shit all year.
NOBODY wants to fight Fedor, Except: Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, JDS, Roy Nelson, Cain Velasquez, and the rest of the UFC heavyweight division.
Barnett is promised a 'Barbie Doll'
Definitely not a class genius or a teacher’s pet, Barnett, I’m betting will not be around in the MMA circuit. It’s funny, how a MMA fighter such as Barnett can have such a tiny brain and still have a huge mouth. Someone like Velasquez or Carwin should seal the deal with such an moron.
I used to follow him on Twitter
But all of his posts are about anime, his poor taste in music, bad poetry, and him basically sucking off Dominick Cruz. He’s a nerd on steroids.

I hate Dominick Cruz..
anyone who likes that douche needs to seriously re-think about it.

Whats wrong with Cruz?
Dont really know much about him, just curious?

he comes off very arrogant and cocky in his interviews

Barnett new anti steroid spokesman
They should just show high school kids a picture of josh barnett and say this is what happens when you take steroids. Why is he so pudgy and roided out at the sametime its an oxymoron
your all fucking idiots....

I agree with this^^
Undisputed Sig Bet Champion on the TitoOrtiz/Fight Pros forums!!
BJ Penn, best P4P fighter on the planet. I'll still stand by that all day long, bitches.
Always have respected Shogun Rua.
8-7-10 Anderson Silva was destroyed and exposed.
R.I.P. Dime and Ryan Gracie.
Must say...
I am a Barnett fan and think he would be an excellent addition to the Strikeforce HW division and if you think otherwise then you must of not of watched MMA pre-TUF.

He's a good addition, he just sounds like a dumbass talking like this.
And people will always question guys who get busted doing roids… Specially when you’ve been caught twice.

Seems like Josh isn't the only one who can fail a drugs test!
Step forward MR CHAEL SONNEN!!!!!!
No wonder Sonnen was so confident going in to this fight, he knew he had an unfair advantage, even then he still couldn’t get the job done!
F'ck me.
Wow. I’m shocked and really disappointed. Going by the way he beat Okami and Marquardt, he actually did not need to take anything, because there wasn’t that much different from the way he performed against Siva apart from having no problem from putting on a very good performance on the feet. I am sure he could have performed just as well without the drugs, but he obviously didn’t. Damn, I’m gutted, he might as well go and shoot himself, or at least go and do an Evan Tanner. This is worse than Barnett getting done in Affliction.
How happy is the UFC right now that he didn't win that fight?
