WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol i wa guna put that but sum people will prob have a moan at u for that ha ufc should sign josh barnett be good for the heavyweight divison
I DON’T CARE ALL THOSE NAMES SOUND THE SAME. I KNOW I DON’T CARE!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Looks like all the experts are commenting on this post. UFC doesn’t equal MMA.
I’M JUST SAYING I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW.
Gomi would be a big contender for the Lightweight 155lb UFC crown so it’s not that insignificant…
SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT MMA JUST THE UFC.
Wow, I didn’t think I would have to say it but some of those names up there are the best in MMA today. Obviously its not the UFC but keep in mind the UFC is just a brand. Generally the UFC has most of the better fighters out there, but there are several other promotions which have top notch guys. Ludwig,Santos, Yoshida, Fuita, not to mention Barnett and Gomi are some major notables.
Well said Eric. It seems to me that the UFC has become a FAD among the the young and new spectators.
OKAY PRO’S
Then again this is UFCDAILY.com so one would not expect to see the results from other promotions on here. I personally enjoy it.
I don’t claim to be a pro but if you don’t care about something shut the hell up and don’t waste our time reading you stupid comments.
YEAH CUZ I’M FORCING YOU TO READ THEM HUH…
okay
I will not get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man
To bad we will never see Barnett back in the UFC, another Dana White grudge robs us of a major HW. I would love to see Josh and Tim Sylvia, Josh would destroy him.
Josh Barnett was at a show in my area a few months ago, he is huge! He would be able to hang in the UFC with the current heavyweights. I am not saying he could be the champ, but he would give a few of the notable fighters a run for their money.
Josh Barnett is EASILY a top 5 heavyweight in MMA. He holds a victory over BOTH UFC champs, Nogueira and Couture. He has only lost to 3 men, and holds a victory over one of them (Minitauro). Anyone who says he isn’t an important part of MMA is just a UFC mark. And I know Barnett would rock anyone in the UFC. The only guy who can come close to beating Fedor would have to be Josh Barnett. And, thanks to the smart MMA promoters, we will most likely get to see that fight. (F&^K Dana White) Fedor is known for trying to avenge Aleksander’s losses, and Josh holds a victory on him…. Hopefully it will happen. It’s so funny how all these marks jump on the MMA bandwagon now, but still call the sport “UFC”.
Rashad Evans has been moved from the UFC 84 fight card to now fight Chuck Liddell in London, England on June the 7th.
This light heavyweight bout came together shortly after the UFC announced the injury to Shogun Rua. Evans was thought to have signed on a deal to fight Thiago Silva but the UFC has the power to change fights for their better at the drop of a hat and that was that.
A source close to Evans says the agreement has been made but the deal has not yet been signed by both fighters.
Craig,
Im with you on this one man! What REAL MMA fan doesn’t know who Josh Barnett is or Takonari Gomi is. These are two of the best fighters in all of MMA sports period! Gomi is one of the best P4P fighters in the world (would love to see Penn-vs-Gomi 2 at 155lbs by the way) and Barnett has already been UFC Heavy Weight Champion by beating up Courture back when Randy was YOUNG and dominating the UFC HW Divison…but I guess only a real MMA fan would know this!
Hey guys it’s more to MMA than just UFC. There are TONS of great fighters out there that currently DO NOT fight in the UFC. Much to some people’s disbelief, all the best MMA fighters are not all in the UFC right now. At HW you have Fedor, Barnett, Rothwell and Antonio Silva to name a few. At LW you have have Marshall, Stann, and Arona to name a few. At MH you Frank Shamrock, Chung Le, Dennis Kang, Matt Linland and Paulo Filho to name a few. At the lighter division you Condit, Gomi, KJ Noons, Faber, Akiyama, Misaki, Nick Thompson, Calvancante, Ishida, Melendez, Kawajri, and Ribeiro just to name a few. The UFC is just more well known at the moment (ecspecially in the US), but I look for that to change here shortly with the emergence of EliteXC/Stikeforce which is backed by SHOWTIME and linked with CBS. Plus if Mark Cubin the owner of the Dallas Mavricks is starting a new MMA promotion and you know he has all kinds of money to throw at the top fighters available. He’s already working o Courture right now and with the “potential” departure of Tito, Arlovski, Tim Sylvia, Koscheck, and others from the UFC that could leave the door wide open for Cubin and some of these other promotion to be pushed to the forefront even more!
gomi is quality and a top level fighter. so is barnett and hes one of the guys who can take on fedor in the coming year.so these results do matter in mma.both these fighters would be top fighters in ufc if barnett came back and if gomi wouldve signed when there was talk of it.
clay guida would kick gomi’s ass. these guys need to truly test themselves (gomi and barnett in particular) and fight in ufc. gonzaga would beat up bernett too.
gonzaga would need to improve on his last showing to beat barnett. he looked pretty poor against werdum so i dont really think barnett would be that worried about him. i really do wish that ufc had signed gomi though because there would of been some great fights for him.
Gonzaga may be a BJJ black belt, there buddy, but Josh Barnett is a world class athlete. His martial art is Catch as Catch Can Wrestling, which when mastered, is the ultimate martial art. It combines submissions, throws, takedowns, holds, locks, etc. Catch wrestlers don’t wait for opportunities like Jiu Jitsu practitioners do. They create them. Gonzaga would get finished. TheMAN is just another example of an uneducated MMA fan aka a UFC Mark. Barnett isn’t in the UFC because of one reason: Dana White.
Well said Craig!!!!
I wonder if theMAN is aware that Josh Barnett was the UFC HW champ after defeating… hmmm who was it, oh yeah Randy Couture. There was a little issue with steroids but Josh Barnett has fought everyone, in the UFC and out. Gomi would be a step up in competition for Clay Guida who is a terrific fighter but would need to bring a seriously improved A game for Gomi.
