Josh pimp slaps Aleksander back into place for spreading lies about him while Aleks stands there looking petrified!

Aleks was no doubt contemplating which one of his Russian mafia friends would cut Josh's tongue out and remove his fingertips before throwing him into the river.

I'd watch that fight again.

I can assure you, neither one is afraid of the other, not one bit.

Not quite sure what you think a pimp slap is but I saw Josh just wanting to straighten out a situation that he felt wasn't being represented in the way he feels reality is. Josh says he would fight Aleks and Aleks seemed to listen and agree. Wasn't much of a big deal. I think that we will see this fight again before we see Josh and Fedor. Aleks wants a rematch and I think the only way Josh and Fedor fight is if they are forced too.

Aleks was just listening and (a bit surprised maybe)...No reason to be scared though..They already fought in pride and barnett submited him in the 2nd round...

Where was the bitch slap? lol

He was there staring at a person who was speaking foreign language and he didn't understand a single word until translated. You can exactly go into verbal confrontation when theres obviously language bar.

He has a real slouch. He is a legit 6'5 - 6'6 though, I think.

Randy Couture mentions his fight with Barnett in 2002 in his excellent new autobiography. He said he took an instant dislike to Barnett describing him as overly cocky and somewhat arrogant. He said in his opinion that the self-deprecating quips that Barnett often says after his fights like: "Not bad for a fat kid!" is really just insecurity about weight issues Barnett had growing up. Couture also claims he was doing well in the fight until Barnett's sheer bulk and weight got the better of him. Barnett tested positive for a banned substance after the fight and was stripped of his title. This caused a rift between Barnett and the UFC that continues today.

Yeah Barnett released a blog and did an interview ranting how he never lost the belt and that he's still the real UFC HW champion and how basically Randy Couture is a paper champion and overrated.

I thought to myself hang on a sec, Barnett got the title stripped from him for cheating using steroids which is a far bigger shame than losing legitimately!

Man, I hope the let Alex fight in US.
