Josh Barnett promises to crack heads, drink blood and kill his opponent in Strikeforce debut Posted: 18 Sep 2010 07:03 AM PDT And tells MMA Weekly that he's aiming for a CBS debut so the whole world can witness it... "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 ... [Visibility] matters big time, 'Cause 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." Controversial heavyweight fighter Josh Barnett promises all sorts of carnage in his Strikeforce debut, which I suppose is better than the sodomy he promised at Impact FC earlier this year against Geronimo dos Santos. Still, fighters have come under fire recently (Mir, Cerrone) for wishing death upon their opponents and "The Babyface Assassin's" comments certainly fall under that category. Is the former UFC champion and current pro wrestler (Japan) delivering his standard kayfabe interview to keep people buzzing? Or is he crossing the line in an effort to resurrect his stateside career?

Mirko also just confirmed that he is okay, telling Sportal.hr: "I got hit in the eye, but nothing... Posted: 18 Sep 2010 07:03 AM PDT Mirko also just confirmed that he is okay, telling Sportal.hr: "I got hit in the eye, but nothing scary. This isn't the first nor the last punch like that. It won't stop me from traveling to fight, and to fight next Saturday against Frank Mir." Move along. Nothing to see here.
