Josh is so fantastic. What a great mind for all things in this realm. Hell of an interview
I feel like I just went to school listening to Josh speak. Thank you for that.
Every single thing Josh has said about MMA around 20:58 and forward is 1000% CORRECT!
Yer would agree but ufc not going to do something
All hail the baby faced war master!!!! Cant wait for Bloodsport in Japan
Barnett is a treasure.
JOSH TOOK A MASSIVE DIARRHEA CRAP IN MY FRIENDS DINER AND CLOGGED THE PIPES WHAT A MESS
It's true, I'm the plumber
Josh Barnett needs a podcast
I've always liked Barnett he seems like a genuine good dude from what I've seen
Love the Baby Faced Warmaster
Absolute OG and has some fkn great stories
Barnett is a fascinating guy, and his NJPW color commentary was the best in the history of pro wrestling.
Best in pro wrestling history may be a bit of a stretch, but definitely extremely good
Josh is so well spoken. He doesn't skip a beat.
UFC got big because Ultimate Fighter followed Raw on Spike TV. It was a reality show aka just pro wrestling with real fights
Interesting
On October 30, 2022, Pro Wrestling Noah announced that Nakamura (while under WWE contract) will be The Great Muta's opponent for the Noah The New Year show on January 1, 2023.At the event, Nakamura defeated Muta.
Bret hart also wrestled Terry funk on an indy show when bret was champ.
Ufc is boring and stale
Pride was so perfect for mma.
The godfather of CACC, most of you don’t even know what that is and that’s a shame.
When josh Barnett talks... You listen.... It's as simple as that
The lamest jobbers from 20-30 years ago are more physically intimidating than half the AEW roster.
You can only suspend your disbelief so much before you just feel stupid watching it.
If you’ve never seen Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, i highly recommend it if you want something that leans more into MMA in pro wrestling.
I was a huge Barnett fan until I learned that Moxley is his fault
Everybody messes up from time to time.
Josh,
I’m 6’3” 300, but stayed about 270. I have a similar build and style. I’m 47 now and Judo was my game. As an American, well we aren’t he best Judo Nation. I boxed, Wrestled
Greco and Folk and well idolized you.
The technique and submissions always made me want to be faster and cleaner. Sadly, my competition was always larger than me. But, I kept true to my strengths.
With my body being very “Fedor” looking I was always the most “out of shape” but I was the first to arrive and last to leave. I crossed over into BJJ and Sub wrestling and followed NHB to MMA to UWFI. Pancrase…. On and on… I watched Before UFC aired and knew Ken Shamrock, Gerard Gordeau, Pat Smith and Gracie.
I want to thank you for not being a sheep and being different. Don’t let catch die! Reach out to me ans once I get my hips replaced and I’d love
To bring catch to West Va.
16:28 mma fans cant handle wrestling is the root of mma.
It's good to see Georgian athletes recruited. Good on Davit.
i agree with everything minus the pride scoring. cuz the problem with that is that someone can just run for 13 mins and then fight for the last 2
Ariel hates Dana White and hates the UFC and can’t stand not talking about it as well. Barnett acknowledges that it’s all about the fans and then doesn’t understand why the five minute rounds limit ground development in a fight.
Would love Alistair or Tony on soon
I might be wrong but I suspect Ronda Rousys athletic days are mostly behind her. I seen something where she said that she's been getting concussed very easy for several years but didn't want to admit it. But currently hateing on her and a few others that at one time were very successful seems to be the in thing to do.
Respect
Poor Ariel must be upset Cody and Josh wouldn't bash aew
Josh Barnett is Completely FAIR
Awesome interview. Super articulate and forthright guy.
Bloodsport is dope af
Josh is right on about the judging. He knows.
Would like to see barnett take on brock lesnar
BRING BOBBY LASHLEY TO GCW
Josh is raising some good points around the 20 minute mark, modern MMA is mostly just (bad) kickboxing with an occassional takedown, followed by an interruption due to either the round ending or the Ref standing them up. We had blue belt world champions because grappling has been so much eliminated from the equation, not because it's not relevant for fighting but because the rules limit it dramatically. Would be interesting the see a new MMA company that dares to implement some innovation and change the rules a lot. I don't expect the UFC to do anything, they haven't even been able to fix their eye poke problem and probably are too busy with that powerslap nonsense.
Jerrell Miller vs Omos vs Hafthor Bjornsson vs Brian Shaw vs Mijain Lopez vs Eddie Hall vs Hong Man Choi vs Semmy Schilt vs Akebono vs Amir Aliakbari vs Martyn Ford vs Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Mitchell Hooper vs etc. @ open weight for the BMF belt.
yeah lets take advice from the dude who failed drug tests throughout his career.
Well yea you should.
Barnett is brilliant. And Ariel, as always, is trying to drag anyone he can into someone else's drama. You want to become Perez Hilton?
ariel was so mad josh didn't take shots at aew, all week ariels has been trying to get punk/cody/josh to say things he can use to put down aew. you're such a fraud ariel, tony really hurt you to be this mad still after all this time.
Josh Barnett vs Minoru Suzuki is best shoot wrestling match ever
He’s so well spoke and understands both businesses. I’d love to see gcw/bloodsport link with wwe in the same aspect Ecw did in the 90s. They got something good going.
Here's how to fix MMA, give everyone a gimmick and turn it into pro wrestling.
Honestly ..anyone that doesn't think they can fight is foolish . I love me some Barrett
Thank Ariel for ha one the best fighters of all time. I love master in undisputed 3 he is one of best of the best.
Want to see Josh barnett vs Bryan danielson soon
Barnett is twice his size and can out chain wrestle him. Trading strikes would be gruesome. I don't think Danielson can fly high enough to believably best Barnett. Of course Barnett is a pro's pro like Danielson, and the two men could probably figure it out. I can't see it working, but it would be cool if they could.
Wow Josh is such a classy guy despite looking scary
I hope by same day weigh ins, he means cage side weigh ins.
I have always liked this guy!!
Love his opinion on “freakshow matches”… that’s literally what modern mma was founded on
It also got UFC banned for a while
@@nohbuddy1 well aren’t you a historian
@@PBandy89 I mean it isn't hard to know about 90s UFC lol
@@nohbuddy1 yea I was being sarcastic… that’s not y they got banned lol
@@PBandy89 Oh I know. All good
Love Josh but i disagree with his assesment of Izzy and Alex cus standing up and being able to stand up is as much MMA as focus on a takedown etc if u cant force ur aspect on them ur just worse at MMA
I think what he was trying to say is these to guys are just kickboxers more so than mma guys, it's obvious both guys won't be submission grapplers or landing high crotch slams but they do know enough to stay out of bad positions. Obviously given there accolades, I love josh but he would never say damien maia needs to stand more if he was a champion choking everyone out
He paused far too long on big
Brotha you deserve everything
Whats to fix?
Always loved Barnett.
Bruce lee is smiling
What about Bruce lee
Pride never die
Interview sting
What a legend
Legend
Should have pivoted “mma hour” to “fight/combat/ariel/whatever hour” when Ariel left ESPN. Just saying
I understand and respect the history of pro wrestling and it’s ties to MMA but I am just wholeheartedly uninterested in scripted matches. I WANT MORE PROFESSIONAL CATCH WRESTLING!!
I hate MMA fanCry-Baby
Mister Barnett is a wrestling historian. Fantastic interview.!
First....AEW sucks
maybe but the last ppv and Danielson vs Osprey 👌👌
It's a money Mark show for Money Marks.
@@qazmko22my daughter likes it a lot
