Josh Barnett last fought in the UFC in March of 2002 when he
defeated Randy Couture for the Heavyweight title. Back then Jon Jones was 14,
Anderson Silva was 8-1, and Ken Shamrock was still relevant, sort of. His title
was later stripped when he tested positive for banned substances and was
released from the organization. He continued his MMA career, ultimately winding
up with a 31-6 record. Dana White said Daniel Cormier, the first man to defeat
Barnett in 5 years, is UFC bound but has remained quiet on Josh. I don’t think
they have any intentions of brining Barnett over; that he has ended up in the
“undesirable” category next to Tim Sylvia. Josh will continue to fight
under the radar as he has for years and hypothetically, if Fedor beats Rizzo and decides
he has another fight left perhaps we could finally see Fedor/Barnett.
