I don’t listen to Rogan, I don’t mess with Spotify or iTunes, but I watch every KZbin video and I DO NOT “SKIP” commercials, ever, and I always hit the 👍 button….. that is my way of contributing ❤ Thanks fellas! Another great one.

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

Bro Thank You Thank You Thank You

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

Next weeks drop might be the best episode that we have ever dropped

[@JohnnyButtons]

@@LytesOutMMAHistory Igor?

[@josephmills-mw2hs]

I'll do same if it helps from now on

[@seandrew3889]

@JohnnyButtons - well said, it’s almost as Rogan, Spotify and iTunes have become too mainstream and corporate so we’re getting mediocre entertainment, but this Lytes out podcast is something special, in-depth interview with the legends of mma. I can still remember those pride battles Barnett had, what a Viking….. also stepping up to Fedor’s brother Alexander, man has no fear.

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

The best Barnett interview ..he was totally relaxed and not pissed off or arrogant...all cuz of the great questions you ask...all these mma podcasts are so cookie cutter Thank u both

[@danielj233]

The fight against Frank Mir were vicious. Brutal clinchfighting

[@bretthumphrey6821]

What a legend josh is love his fights think he's a awesome person thanks for having him on your show thank Josh too ❤

[@secprosinc]

Jeff Monson stories are the absolute best.

[@kevthegoat8774]

Josh Barnett should absolutely be in everyone's top ten all time greatest heavyweights list, incredible resume and very underrated.

[@Joechambers45]

You are very hard working and it is appreciated

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

The next two are really really good

[@Keranu]

They're going to earn their dues eventually. It's the best MMA podcast around.

[@ChristbetheGlory]

Yes!

[@slothmaster101]

One of the best.

[@TelvinKipapa]

Great episode. Josh Barnett is a cool guys.

[@Hatchyack]

Great interview. Josh has been one of my faves since the mid 2000s when we had a conversation about Fist of the North Star on Myspace. Also I'm always suggesting the Lytes Out podcast to people.

[@aaronp5657]

Another banger just dropped!

[@johnsambo9379]

Thanks!

[@devriestown]

Can't wait ask him about his judo training

[@JohnnyButtons]

Interview was already recorded few days ago most likely.

[@KaceCC2]

Best MMA KZbin channel bar none. Love the work you do with the detailed timestamps also.

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

That’s our guy Andrew Literally sent from God to help Is out Please give this a share

[@billcol]

Hey guys- at about one hour and 56 minutes in- I think Josh is talking about Kathy Brothers. She fought for Mezger on one of his two Texas shows from later 1997 to early 1998. She's on Sherdog. I have a little footage from one of her fights.

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

Dude You are an encyclopedia

[@secprosinc]

I laughed out loud at the recap meeting. Holy crap.

[@secprosinc]

You have to stay to teh end. The go-between Joy and the MMA detective is funny.

[@joeljoseph4518]

I thought Kerr submitted him with a key lock? Barnett is an absolute legend still.

[@icuformiles420]

[@josephmills-mw2hs]

Wonder weather ken got paid for his impact fc fight,if josh didnt?

[@kevthegoat8774]

Barnett is right, there's something just different about MMA and combat sports in general back then. I was watching Akebono vs Giant Silva the other day and people were insulting them and talking about how trash their records were, like who cares? These guys were two big monsters and were special attractions, fights like that are so hard to do because the fans just sh!t on it and I don't understand why. There been several Japanese MMA promotions since Pride like Sengoku, Dream, Rizin etc but they just haven't been able to recover from the Pride days.

[@LytesOutMMAHistory]

Bro… Thank You for this comment You belong here

[@johnsambo9379]

That was pro wrestling not MMA.
