There you go jumping at the first chance to analyze another mans body again.

“Even if every fight takes roids…. Barnett has been busted. The majority of fighters have not been. That is the truth of the matter. We can speculate all we want, but only the guys who have actually failed the piss tests should be held accountable.”

Okay, then stop judging every “Pride fighter” who hasn’t failed a drug test. You’ve been going on and on about ever since the Sherk/Franca thing broke.

I didn’t say you’d be on the Barnett bandwagon, but since you like all things UFC, I’m sure if they did a buildup to UFC 87: REVENGE!!! and it was Randy vs Barnett, you’d be on board.

And since he rubs you the wrong way (notice he’s one of those love him or hate him dudes), you’ll probably pay to see your hero (aka whoever UFC pushes at the time) fight him.

“Asked if the UFC has made him a serious offer, Barnett replied, “Not in my opinion, certainly not in my opinion…… ” “Don’t insult them by making a very patronizing offer and act like we’re all that there is and you need us.”

****Insult you? Isn’t it more insulting to win a title…. Try to extort money beyond what a company has or threaten to leave?

“It’s more of their whole UFC propaganda notion in that things that happened before the Spike TV explosion didn’t really happen. I beat him. I took him out by TKO in under two rounds, and that’s the truth of the matter. It wasn’t that Randy was a bad fighter, or anything like that. I was the better person that night, and I know if we were to fight again I strongly believe that I’m still the better fighter.”

****Taking credit for a win while on the juice (and caught). Real classy. How about stating the TRUTH that you won by breaking the law in this country.

“I’ve been here from the beginning, not to mention, they have a title reign that has never been taken off of me. I left the UFC. No matter what, [Andrei] Arlovski never beat me for that belt, neither did Ricco [Rodriguez], neither did [Tim] Sylvia, for sure, and then Randy just comes out of retirement and steps in and gets an automatic title shot. Fine.”

Want to talk linear titles? Fedor Emelianenko is the linear Pride & UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Come on Zack Arnold… You complain about Dana White and the ZUFFA MYTH and the STEROID SCANDAL all the time. Yet there is a fighter who is blatantly full of crap, spreading lies…. And you don’t even do one in-depth piece of it. And you can’t play this off as Barnett cutting a promo. If you want to pass this off as that, then why not pass of Dana White interview’s as the same to promote his show?

Sorry, but chubby guys with saggy boobs, a whiney voice, and a cocky attitude will never get over in the US Market. I know that sounds harsh, but that is the reality of Barnett’s appeal to the mainstream market once they see him compete once.

Zack… Even if every fight takes roids…. Barnett has been busted. The majority of fighters have not been. That is the truth of the matter. We can speculate all we want, but only the guys who have actually failed the piss tests should be held accountable. He is a cheater. Plain and simple. If I hear Sherk’s appeal, and it is BS…. I will say the same thing about him. And we aren’t talking about a Jason Giambi here who was humble after being outed and did everything to get the fans back on his side. We are talking about a guy who wants to BRAG about fights he won while on the juice. That is rather pathetic.

As for Lesnar… He is a completely different story. That guy have big PPV buys written all over him. He’s got the look. He’s

Exactly. It’s more of an IQ test than a drug test when you know the date of the test ahead of time.

Not true. The public statements at the time were that GSP needed one more win.

“2. Hermes Franca was GUARANTEED to still have his title shot if he pulled out of his title fight.”

Not true. Franca was told when he tried to pull out of the fight on multiple occasions that “his fight could not be rescheduled” , which either says outright or at least implies that he could have gotten the Parisyan treatment if he had pulled out. Of course, that doesn’t excuse his use of steroids, nor am I trying to say that it does.

Dana’s shown that he’ll hate on fighters one day and the next day have them under contract though, so who the hell knows.

I wonder if Dana intends to sign Kurt Angle as well. It was my understanding that he offered Lesnar a shot at him in an MMA fight after that IGF ballet.

Lesnar: In jail for not receiving steroids in the mail

Zack, Monson also argued that steroids should be legal using the most tortured and incorrect logic that I’ve ever heard in my life (that because right now, the guys who make the most money can afford steroids, while the lower level guys can’t, making steroids legal in MMA would therefore level the playing field…yeah).

One UFC special and you’ll be back on the wagon.

Regardless, since you always site the Wrestling Observer as a source for all your info, haven’t you paid attention this whole time when Meltzer has been saying drug tests in MMA are more IQ tests than actual drug tests?

Since you know EXACTLY the day you’re going to piss on, most dudes cycle off in time. Those who test positive have trace amounts and try to say they’ll retest a week later and will piss clean.

Monson & Jeremy Horn have both said in radio interviews in this past week that 75% + of dudes are using.
