[Brutus]

I would have posted the entire article but it is broken up into sections.

Dana talks about Fedor, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, etc.

LOL@ he still doesnt admit Denia Kang as one of the major stars from Pride.

good interview. he pretty much said when babalu gets his shit together hes gonna be back. looks like he will never sign barnett.

[thumper]

hahah. Well, here's the end of this conversation:

Q: Josh Barnett was very critical of comments you made about Randy Couture right after his win at UFC 74 and somewhat questioned the legitimacy of Randy's title reign. Has Barnett burned a bridge to the UFC with his recent comments?

DW: He's just a punk. You know what? The thing is I don't want to even talk about Josh Barnett. Nobody even cares about Josh Barnett. I got Mirko Cro Cop, the guy that just beat the s--- out of him. I'm not interested in Josh Barnett at all as far as who he is as a person or as a fighter or how he represents the sport. I don't like anything about him.

If he's that talented and that great, then great, let Bodog or IFL or EliteProXC or whatever the hell the name of the rest of those companies -- let one of them sign him. If he's that great -- they're always trying to get a leg up on me, sign Josh Barnett you guys! He'll do wonders for your business.

Dana needs to get his ass kicked once or twice to nock him down a notch, but I loved this one.

Damnit! I don't want to have to get HBO to see future seasons of TUF and fight nights.

Nice to see the whole interview, i saw some bits and pieces here and there.. I love Danas honesty, even if you disagree he still has the balls to speak his mind..

Do you guys agree that the IFL is shit and not making any stars? I didn't like how he started talking bad about the IFL and the fanboy comment he made about how it was so bad.

there are some good fighters in the ifl.. none id really write home about just yet.. ive watched it several times and was entertained.. yeah maybe Dana was a little harsh, but like i said, i like the fact that he speaks his mind..

dana keeps talking how they're bringing the sport to the mainstream media and the efforts to remove the human cockfighiting stigma that surrounded the sport

yet....

his vocabulary is like one of a un-educated peasanat.

His childish outburststhe company look silly.

If they're smart they'll make Rich Franklin the damn president of UFC. He's well spoken, well educated and being that he's a fighter himself he would show the respect some fighters deserve to get

the president of a multi million dollar should act like a gentlemen and a businessman not a complete tard

if you look at dana and his antics you would think he runs a little hick show in the middle of nowhere where the main event consists of 2 crackheads fighting over a $50 rock and not the worlds premier MMA org.

Personal issues should never play a part in business decisions.

can you imagine if ted turner did an interview and started dropping the F bomb every 2 seconds? All the sponsors would drop his network straight away.

Barnet is world class. Period. He should be in the UFC fighting for the belt or a re-match with mirko etc etc. Peaple want to see him fight.

If tito wasn't such a fricking prima donna we might have seen Dana get a black eye or 2 or a broken jaw. yeah a broken jaw would have been nice.
peace and quiet for atleat 2 weeks
no dana jibber jabber
