I can't believe

I forgot he was training with Erik Paulson at CSW. Oh well.

Also, he HATED the question about Yoshida.

welllll…...guy’s are never very happy if you intimate that they are working a fight…...even if they are….just not a good topic to broach…..very good interview overall, though…. i thought Barnett had a good counter to wamma belt being meaningless,...basically said the belt is only as good as the competition that fights for it….. and then listing the big time talent in the affliction heavyweight divsion….

Heavyweight

...is the only division that REALLY works for that quote. Well, lightweight also. But they can’t say “we’re meaningful! Look at the heavyweights!” and then have most divisions where they can’t put on a meaningful fight.
