Josh Barnett: Randy Couture is a paper champ


Listen to what Josh Barnett says to Nokaut.com about the UFC Heavyweight champ Randy Couture a.k.a the can.


He must be nuts.

"[The UFC Heavyweight Championship] still sits in my house," says Josh Barnett. In Barnett's final Octagon appearance in 2002, he TKO'd Randy Couture in the second round to become the youngest ever UFC Heavyweight Champion. He was subsequently stripped of the title after testing positive for Boldenone, an anabolic steroid. "Randy did a phenomenal job at UFC 74 in defending his title," Barnett admits, "but, I already got the real belt. As far as I am concerned, no one in the UFC can be the heavyweight champion until they take that belt off of me in the cage."
Barnett is currently a free agent, not bound by contract to any promotion. He last fought in PRIDE on New Year's Eve, losing a unanimous decision to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira who now fights in the UFC. Barnett decided to terminate his contract with DSE when Zuffa bought PRIDE. "[I'm] living proof that Randy Couture is definitely beatable. I'm more than willing to step into the cage and prove [it]," argues Barnett. "It wouldn't even have to be for the belt. They can keep their pile of brass they purport as the UFC Heavyweight Title and put it on their next paper champ."

  1. Josh Barnett is a second rate chump he keeps dodging those test and knows very well steroids or not he is a loser. Couture would kill this chump. Go back to doing what you do and fake fighting and ducking fights with fedor. You suck and I am willing to get in the cage with you punk I will destroy you myself steroid free.
