"That helps me prepare to die" - Josh Barnett One of the most gangster things I've ever heard from an MMA fighter.

[@RiotHouseLP]

He brings new meaning to the words, "NERD RAGE!".

[@AW-xv7dq]

Scariest nerd on the planet

[@AW-xv7dq]

He's gonna fight soon. On his shorts there will be a Magic logo? New sponsor?

[@joeyservo]

Josh just played a "Emrakul, the Aeons Torn" card on Ryron Gracie at Metamoris.

[@windmacher]

+joeyservo dafuq does that mean?

[@MobiusCoin]

+maxim menage It means that Ryron lost.

[@CGoody564]

joeyservo 195 lbs vs 261 lbs, both know grappling... Are you that surprised?

[@rye-bread5236]

@@CGoody564 but.. Gracies are immortal gods who can't be beat?

[@walterkovacs1360]

Met him at comic con a few years back. He was promoting an mma fighter based comic book venture. I saw him just sort of cruising the floor and I elbow poked my girlfriend and said, "Holy shit, is that the baby faced assassin, the warmaster!?!". She was like "Who?". I rubberneck to see his badge and, lo and behold, it's Josh Barnett. I make introductions and try to contain myself as to not bring any unwanted attention. I comment on how how he looked bigger on TV (from watching him in PRIDEfc etc.) he responds with "I weigh 250 lbs but I do hear that a lot..." then he graciously took time to take a picture with me. I had no idea he was a magic player, otherwise our encounter would have been less awkward and fan-boyish as we would have more common ground than my minimal BJJ training and his world class catch wrestling and MMA experience. Point being he has a job to do in marketing himself as a professional athlete, and might come off as a hard ass sometimes, but in my candid experience with Josh, he was a friendly, open, humble, down to earth guy.

[@kevgor138]

This is awesome. DIdn't know Barnett was so cool. Metal and magic, awesome.

[@bonkling]

I find him so fascinating. Clearly he is extremely intelligent, cerebral on the mat, and such a unique dude.

[@bonkling]

shutup

[@Herrsnare12345]

I love deathcore, magic and mma as well; there are dozens of us!

[@w8ngr]

He's always playing that Josh Barnet = metal, muscle cars and Magic the gathering and then a little bit of catch wrestling Lmao

[@sinceunati]

Dude is a real Metal Viking

[@deekay7594]

Honestly josh is the goat for showing this.. Mma should have there personalities..

[@JohnSmith-rp1tr]

Especially with the goatwhore t shirt

[@PaytonFu]

you will never see such good looking women at a magic the gathering table unless your josh

[@2ossy]

you're

[@jayparra8574]

PaytonFu thank u

[@QuixoticOdyssey]

first thought that crossed my mind.

[@davidsmith-uq7fr]

I came here to the comments to say that exact same thing!! I play magic every week, and I have never seen any girls who look like that.

[@minimaxhall]

6:12 did he say "Norwegian Black Metal" ? :D This guy... he sure is something! GG WP! Greetings from Norway!

[@GoranKeoki]

Alexander Maxhall Yeah you notice at 6:17 he's got a famous Norwegian Black Metal picture on his wall, trying to remember the name of that band.. Think it is Mayhem

[@minimaxhall]

GoranKeoki Wow! You got sharp eyes, Yeah that looks like Mayhem indeed.

[@thishandlehas3ormorecharacters]

It's Gorgoroth

[@Bouchon211]

I met Barnett twice, total class act.

[@josegovea4831]

It’s dope seeing fighter’s other side outside of combat

[@brutal-noodle]

my favorite fighter for many reasons

[@mikemugs7]

You forgot to mention that he has a group of hot chicks that he plays with every week

[@gjmarkjesse1324]

Bullies: "Look at these nerds!!! Let's go bully them!!!" *Josh Barnett turns around and stares into their souls* Bullies: "Understandable, have a nice day." 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@Shoegazebasedgenre0.]

truly one of us.

[@christineweigand2236]

What a opening *Opens showing josh and friends playing magic cuts to Josh* Josh-“I always been mean as shit” that fucking had me laughing out loud for a solid 2 minutes

[@garnetk3751]

What a great seize the day attitude! Not a bad choice of tunes either, Kudos Mr. Josh Barnett

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

He has the heart of the cards

[@dredre1874]

barnett reminds me of my big brother, he was real quiet/smart, played magic too, but he would punch the wind out of me if i messed with him

[@lastmanstanding5423]

I love this so much. Coolest guy ever.

[@MaLdERaranjuez]

I didn't know this guy before but he has just become one of my personal heroes

[@hattorihanzo2275]

I thought Magic was dead. Went to a comic book shop in Toronto in '07 or '08 and there was a Magic event going on. Place was packed. At that time I hadn't seen or heard about Magic since '94/'95.

[@gabrielgoldwoulfe2277]

Legend

[@burningbelow4424]

Yaaasss For Victory by Bolt Thrower is a great song. I'd really like to meet Josh! 🤘

[@gsilva09]

Awesome :>

[@glowskullsmedia1499]

josh barnett is a metalhead!

[@chartheredcometaznable2345]

2:05 HOLY SHIT HE READS AKIRA!?!?!?

[@TheGrimlok]

Josh "Tapping you out" Barnett. In and out of the cage!

[@jornvallis8051]

Barnett is one of the funniest most likeable guys in MMA history.

[@rehboot]

Josh is my hero.

[@benjv85]

Respect ! . I can taste the blood !!

[@FullMetalJesus84]

What is going on here? Hot women playing Magic? In which parallel universe was this filmed?

[@datguy729]

in a universe ruled by the warmaster

[@FullMetalJesus84]

datguy729 When I played Magic it was usually a room full of nerdy teenage boys and a couple of creepy 40 year old fat guys with neck beards wearing short-shorts and stretched out polo shirts. Dark times ...

[@Leny1777]

The_Vexed_One I hate to burst your bubble but any hot girl will be with any famous guy no matter how nerd he is. This guy might not be that famous but he is famous. That just shows you that fame makes you drawn to women, just look at rockstars.

[@CarterMvp]

Classic Video Games 1777 guys, these girls aren't hot..............don't mean to sound like a dick, but go outside once and a while and you'll see normal looking women like the ones in this video everywhere. Try it

[@FullMetalJesus84]

CarterMvp Yeah, sure they are not super models. Some of them are quite attractive though, and seeing an attractive girl playing magic is like seeing a unicorn under a blue moon .... That shit doesn't happen.

[@calebengland149]

This is a fucking sign for me to pick up mtg again and still train in mixed martial arts holy fuck lol

[@alejskates2287]

Truly a Black and/or Red player.

[@brandon585barber]

I didn’t know he was such an avid metalhead!

[@robertmerck6795]

TRUE CLASS ACT!

[@davidhassan7824]

Football and Magic my favorite things

[@darthvader4158]

thats one nerd you should not bully

[@Koettnylle]

OK Darth, but should i bully the other nerds?

[@Son.of.Saturn]

Does anyone know what death metal song is playing at 4:00?

[@calebvinson8703]

Bolt thrower is the sickest. Love josh.

[@nupraptorthementalist3306]

Is there a CroCop card?

[@JaxMerrick]

When I saw that Mikaeus, the first thing I thought was "where's Triskelion?"

[@benediktnatanael8980]

Big like on the JFC hoodie

[@JWB86]

your legacy Josh, will be built upon juice!

[@ellg5278]

Job for a cowboy nice hoodie! I love job for a cowboy! I take it josh is a metal head like myself.

[@Raumance]

What was the song For Victory - Volthor? Can't find it anywhere.

[@croatianwarmaster7872]

[@AdventureThroughLife]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@TylerStewart69]

For Victory - Bolt Thrower

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

AdventureThroughLife - dude, where and how did this start? Almost any time someone asks for a tune ID there is someone who responds with Darude - Sandstorm. I laugh every time.

[@abelnightroad1035]

knowyourmeme.com/memes/darude-sandstorm?full=1 Welcome to the internet newfriend

[@xx1norm1xx]

[@boys4jesusmaggi312]

[@williamcarpenter4854]

What is the first song??? The one with no lyrics just drums and guitar/bass riff. Starts at like 2:00

[@Hennessy86]

de.audionetwork.com/browse/m/Track/the-end-of-fall_51175

[@williamcarpenter4854]

Thank you!!! Crazy with words it kinda sucks

[@rasmusquavangsfar9447]

7:17 Did he just say "Cain Velasquez is a dick?"

[@victoriog]

+Butcher6evil III at least u tried

[@tbone6704]

I've been a Josh Barnett fan since the PRIDE days, but knowing he nerds out listening to black metal makes him fucking GOAT(Suck it, Fedor).

[@timmyb2022]

I spot the one and only Ryan Keely aka Wonder Woman

[@bensahar215]

Metalhead 🤘

[@patrickwall7103]

A Pionner Guy

[@MrWhatevertoday]

He also likes battletech I hear.

[@paul2243]

This used to be one of the baddest dudes on the planet and now is sat there playing a collectable card WOW!!

[@rasmusquavangsfar9447]

Okay, Josh is a metalhead, and a nerd, but thats cool, he's still a badass fighter.

[@happywurst1531]

i really want this job for a cowboy zipper

[@NihilistWolfe]

One of the most baddest nerds on the planet.

[@RobertOfStAlbans_]

Purple Dragon Shields for the win

[@Scotianwraps]

Go make fun of him and his friends sitting there playing Magic cards!

[@nasgothus]

Many people don't understand that fighters are humans too. They have other things they love to do other than fighting.

[@pinoypower247]

Wheres the chickens?

[@edwinesquivel181]

NNNNNNNNNEEEEEERRRRDS!!!!!

[@JME2191]

People shit on the game and say, "Oh, only fat smelly nerds play that." They said the same about video games and look at how diverse that has become. It's good to have some hobbies

[@mikimiyazaki]

i choked him and renzo out a fried chicken joint back in 96.

[@w8ngr]

3:15 big blue jar of WEED!!!!

[@itscain]

+Chris Wong facepalm

[@Warsie]

+Chris Wong I thought that same shit, that looks like a giant jar of marijuana.

[@fredrm6023]

Jock/nerd, a rare breed.

[@theomarvenzon]

Wow now i understand the psychology of his trash talk now

[@edwinesquivel181]

Jk josh don't kill me! Spare me your mercy war master!

[@mondo88]

what the

[@NeoFryBoy]

Just surrounded by women. The chick at 5:19 is just like, "Interesting... Can we move to the bedroom, yet?"

[@shawnkay5462]

Toughest nerd in the world

[@smiley37greg]

Playing MTG w/ 3 girls? Interesting, I have never seen girls participate in this game.

[@thawkereynolds]

Sophomore in Hs 1994, same age as me... GINGERS do not age well

[@aprinceofearthsea4875]

If this guy doesn't play Black/Red I'm calling bullshit.

[@cdude665]

is this the entirety of the female magic player base at this game?

[@eLSeniorPancho]

why is this being recycled? saw it last year.

[@TyillestTV2]

This is so weird.

[@b0hem1]

The blonde at 5:18, playing with her phone, not even listening to Josh talking about Magic and just says: "Interesting." Goes to show you can be a big shot MMA fighter with hot chicks around, but you can't get them to be interested about Magic the Gathering..

[@burningbelow4424]

Idk why everyone is so puzzled by the hot chicks playing magic. My Fiancée plays magic and she is pretty hot!

[@fabianescobedo8982]

nerd dream! ahaha

[@janmolekula3900]

Don't play MTG with Josh. If you win he will knock you out cold. (At least that's what I would do if I was a fighter)

[@janmolekula3900]

But don't worry, I'm not a fighter nor do I play MTG.

[@TheEschwank02]

..cant fucking believe he plays MTG.

[@hosackies]

Can't help but to think that those women are paid actors.

[@thepaperninja1081]

When you thought skyrim was boring fro all the walking, then you play this game hahaha

[@Mundane05]

Why is everybody in that dude's house just hotties...

[@anthonyalvarez411]

Magic the card game lmfao

[@jpif2961]

this is what happens when you give a nerd steroids.
