Dana White: "I'm not a big Josh Barnett fan, I think he's bad for the sport, you know, all the **** that comes out of his mouth is stupid, and I'm not a fan."
Damn!! What do you think, is Dana right? I do with that Barnett would just go to the athletic commission and deal with it. Seems like he's trying to avoid them and the consequences.

A lot of the time, Dana will say something that just makes you tilt your head like a dog hearing a high-pitched whistle. However, this is not one of those times. It's hard to disagree with his assessment here. Barnett not only tested positive three times, destroying an entire organization in the process, but he's also completely unrepentant about the whole ordeal to this day. He's actively against commissions, and has 100% no respect for them. Commissions have their (many) faults, but they provide a needed service in MMA. Josh just hates being told what to do. It's hard to say he isn't bad for the sport when he's constantly giving it black eyes with his positive tests and disrespectful attitude. The guy is a good fighter, but he is not a good representative for the sport.
