Josh Barnett Talks Fight Night 75 Win Over Roy Nelson

September 27, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Josh Barnett spoke with MMAjunkie about his win over Roy Nelson at Fight Night 75. Check out the highlights:

On not finishing Nelson: “For one, I didn’t want to have to throw that many strikes, so I blame Roy. I blamed Roy immediately after the fight. I go, ‘Five rounds? You’re a d-ck. We’re not supposed to be there that long. Have you seen us?’ It’s just work, work, work, work.”

On bouncing back from his loss to Travis Browne: “People get hung up on wins and losses. I lost my last fight but that’s not the type of performance to expect from me ever again. Tonight I came out there and gave my all, and I was able to win this one, but for sure it wasn’t anything like my last fight.”

On what’s next: “I don’t know. I’ll stay in shape, make sure that Colleen and Victor win their fights next week at Pancrase 270 and see what comes of this. The thing is, you build upon things no matter what. Even the losses you build upon and try to grow from it. You have to grow from wins. There’s a lot I take out and try to improve on my own performance.”
