Who Is Josh Barnett Kidding? Wants To Fight In 2010 When Promotions Stop Bull*******

Josh Barnett spoke with announcer Mauro Ranallo on "The Fight Show" and stated that he would like to fight again in 2010.  However, he didn't use the best choice of words considering that this is a guy that has tested positive for steroids multiple times over the years.  Check it:

"Definitely something's going to happen this year,"....."As soon as any promotion out there stops bull****ing and comes correct, that's all," Barnett responded when asked when he'd fight again. "If they want me to fight, all they got to do is step up to the plate, throw me an opportunity and don't put something in front of me that's a slap in my face or ridiculous."

Really Josh?  Why should any promotion pay you what you want to be paid when you have a lot to prove in regards to passing a steroids test?  Maybe if you would take what they offer then pass a couple of tests, then you'd get a contract more to your liking instead of coming off as an dude that feels as though the world owes him something?  In regards to the American promotions, it's not like you are this huge star that draws in tons of PPV buys or anything.  Wow.

Nobody can expect to make Affliction money. People who test positive for steroid tests can’t expect to make UFC money. People who test positive and sink promotions should expect somewhere between Sharkfight and Bellator money, even if they are (or were) top-five fighters.

Go to hell Josh. Drag your pathetic ass back to Japan and fuck around with that pathetic pro wrasslin crap you’ve been into. You’re done in legit mma, nobody is going to risk their business on a three time loser like you.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't
help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

for a guy that blew arguably the most legit fight with fedor in the past several years that virtually all even semi-mma fans would have watched…..he sure seems entitled.

Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.
