What was Josh Barnett like as UFC champ?

[RawHawg]

I am just now watching his old fight against Big Country. Buffer announced Josh as the former UFC heavyweight champion. I admit that I never knew he was champion. What was his championship reign like? Thank you

Short-lived

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Beat Couture... Later tested positive.

Short-lived

Came to say this verbatim.

 

[Goodfella86]

It was short and dishonorable, to be honest.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Was way larger than Couture and roided up and still almost lost that fight.

 

[MikeyB]

About as good as his fight with Fedor

 

[BigTruck]

He was never champ. He got caught rudi g after the fight and was stripped. Should have never counted as winning g the title.

 

[beastman]

His Metamoris title lives on

Shaped like a pear

He was a good poster here.

Haha Josh Barnett, didn't he get beat by Cro Cop like 3 times?

 

[GrantB13]

Lol. It's just funny to ask if you don't know

 

[Gambit MMA]

he popped after the fight so he wasnt champ for long

pretty forgettable, people seem to remember sylvia, arlovski, and coutures reign as champ before they remember barnetts
