Let's get straight to it and say that Randy did a phenomenal job at UFC 74 in defending his title. As a fan and a fellow Washingtonian I was happy to see him win. But as for the title itself -- it still sits in my house. No one in UFC ever beat me for it, and 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.

At the post fight press conference, Dana White said "there isn't anyone in the world that can beat this guy" in reference to Randy. All this because Randy beat a guy that had less than ten fights and only one noteworthy win? That's not even a world championship level fight, let alone reason to proclaim the winner as "unbeatable". This comment was made even more ridiculous by the fact that I was standing right there, living proof that Randy Couture is definitely beatable.

"Unbeatable", Dana says. If he actually believes that, I'm more than willing to step into the cage and prove him wrong. It wouldn't even have to be for the belt. I already got the real belt. They can keep their pile of brass they purport as the UFC Heavyweight Title and put it on their next paper champ.

Wow, strong words Josh. I for one would love to see you back in the cage, against a champion or not.

Two quick things - first off well done on your two wins over the weekend (Fujii at Bodog and Babalu at UFC). My friend Karl Tanswell was telling me about your 'painful floating top game', he was very impressed with your movement!

Second, I emailed you to your usual email about an article I'm writing for my magazine- and I'd love to speak to you about it. If you get chance please drop me a line as I'd love to discuss it with you

Thanks
Hywel

YES, PLEASE... I have been saying this to all the people who seem to be thinking Randy is the second coming.

There is only one heavyweight that means anything and that is Barnett vs. Fedor.

Having just watched the card over here in England, they shouldn't have put Gonzaga in there in the first place. You can guarantee that if you signed for them, you'd have to put in 2 fights at least before Dana would let you near him. By which time he might've decided enough is enough and time to retire and coach. Dana should pull his finger out and face reality. Champ versus champ. Perfect!

Yeah, lately a lot of people have been jumping on the Randy bandwagon. Not that he isn't worthy of praise... he most certainly is! But there are a few guys I know who are better, and one of them is Josh Barnett. :D

Dana sucks on a few guys pretty hard. Chuck, Matt (the biggest piece of shit alive) Hughes, and Randy. No doubt Randy is great. But Dana saying "there isn't anyone in the world that can beat this guy" is ridiculous. This is just another avenue for the hype machine to get moving. Question is this... who will the UFC let fight Randy first? Probably Christian Wellisch or Justin Eilers. Gotta keep the hype rolling. They do NOT want Randy to lose right now because it makes great TV. If the fans could get what they really want... Put Nog, Josh, Fedor, CroCop, or Brandon Vera in there with Randy. This will certainly stop the hype monster abruptly. Mark these words... "Neither Josh Barnett or Fedor Emalianenko will be signed to the UFC until Randy loses his belt".

That is something I would pay to see.

I didn't really think it (UFC74) was going to be an exciting fight. You and Noguiera; now that was a great fight. It's funny how they are trying to forget you. But when they open their eyes, "Boo!", You are still there.

Take care Bro!

I would just love for you to get in the ring with Randy as it would be GREAT exposure for Catch wrestling, maybe we can get some more MMA fighters to train in Catch and take it seriously. BTW you are one of my favorite fighters and so is Couture so I'd be torn. Guess I'd be pulling for you both.

Yeah, the Randy hype is out of control. He's a good fighter but anybody whos been following MMA other than UFC or who have been watching for a while would know better than to believe the bullshit that comes out of Danas mouth. I'm not even gonna go into detail about all the things he says since you already know.

But this is exactly what Dana wants. He wants guys like you and Fedor to get worked up about what he says so that yall will say "Screw this... I'll fight him for free if needed." Dana is just trying to get yall to come cheaper.

I mean whats Randys record @ HW in his last 4 or 5 fights? He comes out of retirement after being KO'd by a LHW 2x and b4 that he was coming off 2 TKO losses @ HW and thats enougth to get him a title shot? So wow he beat big Tim. Big Tim was injured and even so, he was never a top 5 in the world IMO. And about GG. GG has not had nearly enough experience to be considered a top 5 either. I mean one good KO doesn't put you up there.

Randy is cool and all but its all these TUF fighter noobs and Dana that make it hard to like the UFC fighters sometimes.

Yeah, i also enjoy your criticisms of the NSAC rules as well. Randy may be better than ever, but he is no Josh Barnett. Too bad you were so close to winning last years OWGP. You would have been the only fighter ever to be a title holder in the UFC, Pancrase, and Pride.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't the UFC promote the Hughes/Penn rematch the same way. If they use that kind of logic for the welterweight title. why not the heavyweight? I agree with you Josh. I'd love to see you fight soon. You have all of our support....

Josh, I am a big fan. BIG. I would love to see you back in the UFC. I always say that they need you...BUT... I dont care what anybody says, Randy Couture is a TRUE champion. To compete at this level at ANY age is remarkable. Randy couture deserves and has earned everybody's respect and in NO way is he a paper champion!

I hope they get you signed and back in the octagon 'cause that would rock! I have a lot of respect for Randy Couture but Gabriel Gonzaga showed just how little big fight experience he has in that fight.

Even with all the big heayweight signings the UFC has made that division is still weak. Its in serious need of Fedor and Josh Barnett!

Damn straight! As much as I love Randy, for him to truly be "unbeatable" and for the UFC to be the Biggest MMA organization in the world, with the greatest fighters in the world, they have to sign you and Randy has to beat you in the Octagon. I know I am dying to see it.

Randy "HGH" Couture is a good fighter and can beat most UFC HW's but you're on another level. and the 2 top HW's in the UFC are Pride guys. Couture will not be beating them.

Gonzaga gets a lucky kick in and all of the sudden everyone forgets Pride's guys dominate the UFC. Silva and Henderson are champs, and you and Fedor aren't even in the UFC. 3 belts could go to Pride guys easily.

I like both ou and Randy as fighters, but I have to say Randy was winning the fight the first time you guys clashed. Both of you guys have improved so much since that battle. Josh we know Dana has a hard head, so try your best to work something out with him to fight Randy, obviously there is a story line between you too, and Randy got a shot at Tim without fighting anybody, so you should get a shot at Randy and prove us wrong. I'm rooting for Randy but hey anything is possible in MMA. Good Luck

Dana stated that no one wants to see you in the UFC, specially him.. I think who he's speaking for is the guys in the HW division who know you'd school their asses and him. His acquisition of pride was supposed to have the greatest fighters under the same banner, like the AFC and the NFC are under the NFL banner.. But now it's about his ego and having only the fighters he likes in the same org.


hopefully MMA can recover from this.

Looks like Dana has no interest in seeing you in the cage. Sucks really, hopefully that changes and you do end up in the UFC.

On another note, you got caught and got stripped of your title. That's only fair I guess, but it's not like you're alone there. That's a whole different can of worms though.

By far true! I think I texted you the day of the of the fight since Dana and a bunch of people were saying that there was no one other than Randy that could even get close to facing Gonzaga! Don't get me wrong! I love Randy Couture but as we ALL KNOW, You are the first heavyweight fighter to take the heavyweight championship from Randy and at the same time you were the youngest. Not to kiss ass but I laughed at Dana when he said that stupid comment. Randy is a great champ and the way he wrapped that belt around you shows all of us the class that a former champ should have BUT many times it has been taken away from him. There is only one champ who has been unbeatable!

Well, I can guranatee there are a several people who can beat Randy. First, Fedor and Josh would smack the Sh*t out of him in the first round! Second, Shogun would tank him, too (even out of weight class). Bring old Rixon Gracie back and he would make him beg as well!
