Josh Barnett is 1-1 against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Their first fight ended with a split decision victory for the Baby Faced Assassin, but Big Nog took the rematch by UD. Now, in an interview with 8 Count News, Barnett says he's doesn't care if Nog is shot as a fighter, he still wants to fight him and lay a beat down on the legendary Brazilian. From 8 Count News

8CN - Mir really looked good in his last fight. Josh Barnett - Yeah, but I think what is shocking is how, not good, Nougeira looked. I’m sure Mir is sick of hearing how Nog is washed up instead of how Mir performed well, but it’s the biggest victory he has to date, and anyone who’s followed Nog and seen him fight in the past knows that he just looked so terrible. 8CN - Would you want to fight Nog a 3rd time? Josh Barnett – Absolutely. I don’t care if he’s washed up I just want to beat the crap out of him.

I know that fight fans would love to see a rubber match between these two. Hopefully one day it will happen. But for right now, Josh needs to focus on his hard-hitting Affliction opponent, Gilbert Yvel.
