Im sorry but HOW on earth is Barnett one fight away from a title shot?
He just got throughly tooled by DC then fought a complete no name, again HOW is he even close to a UFC title shot lol??
Name only?
Why should Barnett be given the last UFC champ, arguably the #2 HW right now, when Barnett hasnt had a WIN over a top ten in YEARS??
People see the name "
Josh Barnett" and automatically think he should be fighting the top 3 HWs in the world? I dont.
I say start him off with guys like Mitrione/Kongo/Barry/ MAYBE Nelson.
But for him to just leapfrog the entire division and get a title shot or a crack at the #2-#3 guy "Just because" makes absolutly no sense.
Barnett needs to EARN his spot, not have it given to him. Hes
not the SF champ,
never was, and hes
not coming over with a huge list of awsome victories. Lets be honest here people.
Hes got a name, and a good skillset yes. But he doesnt
deserve a fight aginst Cain or JDS,
At the moment.
Now thats all said, I hope this is true.
