My thoughts exactly. Trash ZUFFA enough and eventually everyone will get to talking and ZUFFA will sign him. And yeah, I don;t disagree with what Barnett is saying.
He would be one of the most marketable fighters in the UFC, he's exciting, he's American (sad that it actually matters but it does) and there's already marketablity with the fact he defeated Couture and became the UFC HW champion.
I don't recal ANY UFC fighter ever returning from their banned substance suspension to a UFC countdown show that spoke anything of them dropping positive for a banned substance so the majority of paying customers would have no clue.
Hype him with highlights of him smashing Couture, nearly knee barring Nog and winning the decision in the OWGP, pickig up Nog and slamming him in the rematch, defeating Aleks and Hunt in under 2 minutes, etc. There's plenty of highlight film to work with.

He's doing pro wrestling in Japan so he's not starving for work so I'm not really certain he will ever be in the UFC again.
