Why did Josh Barnett take over a year off?

The Travis fight seemed odd, then he takes a year + off. I know he's been doing movies and stuff. His wrestling commentating was a succes.

Its hard to get into that guys head, but i hesitate to employ conventional thinking.

Anyone know?

His first official recorded fight was in 1997. He has been UFC champ. He has enough dough. He has had some great MMA moments. His motivation is much lower than it was, and he was brutalized in his fight. He just doesn't have any real need to fight anymore.

Sweet a steroids baiting thread. That's a first

Isn't he the only fighter currently signed to the UFC who hasn't been popped in the last three years?

so.. your working theory is he was too scared?

cuz that is a provocative theory given his years of fighting the best on the planet on multiple continents and tap'd Lister a few months after.


I hope someone knows him sees this thread and says a MOD on the UG thinks you were to frightened to fight after Travis.

I'd love to hear his response to that.

wow.

This place used to respect fighters.

But then again, they used to come here.

He is merely stating his opinion.

Is that not allowed?

I dont think much can scare Josh. Certainly not another human being in a cage.

If anything he took the time to heal properly after what was probably a concussion amongst other things like accumulated lingering injuries.
