One of the most vocal and active proponents of female MMA, Josh Barnett (Pictures) appeared more than pleased at his stable's showing at last Friday's Smackgirl tournament in Tokyo. He spoke with Sherdog.com after the event and elaborated on the performances of his affectionately labeled "Angels of Destruction."

"I think they all did great. Akano was one that I wasn't able to work with for several months beforehand, so she was working much too hard to get that win," said Barnett of Hitomi Akano (Pictures), who had armbarred open-weight champ Hiroko at the event. "With a better strategy, she'd have won that fight much easier. "

Josh also talks about his relationship with Affliction and fighting former training mate Jeff Monson.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"
