Josh Barnett: BJJ NOT a fight, boxing is 1/3 of a fight - Mixed Martial Arts News

Quote:
Josh Barnett recently attended a BJJ tournament, and offered his thoughts, via Twitter.

Josh Barnett ‏@JoshLBarnett
Just overheard, "How many fights did you have today?". The answer is none. You've had zero fights today. Doing BJJ is NOT a fight.

@TheErikHammer
well I just heard "sweet I get a medal because my guy did not show up."

Josh Barnett ‏@JoshLBarnett
Such a proud victory.

Josh Barnett ‏@JoshLBarnett
I just watched two grown men jump in the air at each other and start scissoring. They scissored each other in mid air. And I paid to get in.

Josh Barnett ‏@JoshLBarnett
Boxing is a fight. 1/3 of a fight maybe but still a fight. To me for something to be called a fight it must involve striking your opponent.

his striking is fine for his style. he connected against cormier quite a bit, and knocked rizzo out cold.

I think Josh is a great fighter I just don't like the way he was talking there for someone who mainly grapple fucks his opponents and subs them with eaze.

+1 Hard to argue with that. I've never considered grappling with someone a fight.

White excited for Strikeforce migration, believes Barnett deal will happen

White excited for Strikeforce migration, believes Barnett deal will happen | News

Quote:
"That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that," White said of Barnett's hope for a UFC return. "I've got a pretty good feeling he'll be in the UFC. I'm pretty sure, as far as I'm concerned anyway, Josh and I have cleared up (our issues). Right when we bought Strikeforce is when we had the fighter summit, and Josh was there. And Josh and I have bumped into each other a couple times. I'm comfortable with where we're at."

Barnett has won nine of his past 10 fights with the lone loss coming to Daniel Cormier in the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix final.
