Default Josh barnett signs with Dream, debut likely for March 22
- BARNETT SIGNS WITH DREAM, DEBUT LIKELY FOR MARCH 22- MMA WEEKLY - Mixed Martial Arts & UFC News, Photos, Rankings & more

Quote:
Former UFC, Pride and Affliction fighter, Josh Barnett, has found a new home in Japan as the heavyweight stand-out has signed with Dream and will likely make his promotional debut at their March 22 show later this month.

The signing was confirmed by sources close to the situation to MMAWeekly.com late Monday evening, and the promotion is expected to announce Barnett's addition in the coming days.

Since leaving the UFC in 2002, Barnett has fought in several promotions, most prominently with Pride where he went 5-4 for the organization and faced several of the top fighters.

Most notably, Barnett holds wins over fighters such as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Randy Couture, and last fought for Affliction in January 2009.

Set to face No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko in August 2009, Barnett fell under extreme scrutiny following an alleged positive test for a banned substance, was removed from the fight, and Affliction soon after canceled their third pay-per-view event, eventually closing their doors.

Barnett has not competed in MMA since that time, and has had several delays in his hearings with the California State Athletic Commission to deal with the positive test results, and license denial in the state.

It appears that for the time being, Barnett will make his living in MMA back in Japan. While no opponent has been named yet, rumors have circled that several fighters have been approached about a possible fight with Barnett, but as of yet no one has accepted.

My call is Barnett vs. Kiss Nakao, Neil Grove or maybe Colossus Thompson. Longstory short, I think it'll be a soft lob of a fight.

doesnt fedors contract allow him to fight in japan?????

didnt he just say that he wanted barnett not AO and didnt care about the strikeforce title (or the ufc title)??

wouldnt that be some shit if fedor skips out on the next 2 strikeforce cards and goes and fights barnett in japan

Upon signing, Barnett celebrated by shooting up with a designer cocktail.
