“I spoke with several other companies prior to this, and what kind of visibility they were able to offer, and what they could offer in terms of opponents, and just keeping me active, my ability to do work outside of fighting, or even just fighting outside of that company, or professional wrestling work, or if I wanted to do any TV or movie work,” Barnett said to MMAWeekly about why he signed with Strikeforce.
“When it comes down to it, the thing that matters most to me is being able to fight. I just want to make sure I can get out there and crack as many heads as possible.”
“I’m not signed with Dream, that was just a single figh. It’s not as if I harbor any ill will towards Dream at all, and given the right circumstances I have absolutely no problem fighting for them, but at the same time I didn’t want to limit myself to anybody at any one point until I was sure I was at some place that would have terms that were agreeable to me, or if it was just monetarily worth my while.”
“When I dislocate and tear somebody’s head completely off their shoulders and spew blood all over the ring, and then drink it, I want the whole world to see it.”
“I’d love to fight on CBS. Punch somebody so hard that their eyeballs pop out of their head.”
“We haven’t really hit on any solid dates yet or anything like that, or even opponents.”
“In due time. There’s not too many people all that chomping at the bit and so ready to meet their death.”
