Josh Barnett is a UFC veteran and a PRIDE veteran. He is also considered one of the world’s top heavyweights. However, “The Babyface Assassin” currently has no home and hasn’t fought in close to a year. MMA Madness’ Ben Zeidler spoke to Barnett by phone last week to find out about his fighting status, his beef with Dana White, and more. Here are highlights of that interview.

MMA Madness: When can we expect to see you fighting again?

Barnett: The nearest I can think of is the Imagination TV show Pancrase: Legends of MMA. You can catch some of my matches there on November 7th for 15 weeks. But for some live in-the-ring action, I'm talking to some companies right now and we've got some things on the table. But there's nothing that's absolute, nothing to say that I'll be definitely fighting at a certain time.

MMA Madness: Can you tell us any of those organizations that you're currently looking at?

Never been a big fan of his.

Nothing really useful in that interview except him beefing himself up.

For all I care he can stay in Japan doing wrestling.

Heh, he had an answer for everything except the question about why PRIDE fighters are doing poorly in the UFC.

Not a huge fan, but it was a good read. Thanks.

Good read. On paper his style is a good one to go up against Couture but then again so was Gonzaga's. I know he beat Randy once before but I don't see it happening again.

Always been a big fan of Josh...
If the UFC truly wants to acquire the best, then he is a must for the stable...
Can't think of anyone else I'd rather see Couture face...
I know a lot of MMA fans get upset because he can be blunt, but he's one fighter you can never call a tool...
