Barnett would've come into the UFC with far and away the hottest run at HW outside of the UFC(even if some of his wins on his streak were stellar), but right now I think he's got too much pride to take a UFC offer if it isn't top tier money and I don't think he's too highly valued within ZUFFA due to his baggage.
I think Barnett is a great HW, I think he's better than 90% plus UFC HWs(sans JDS, Cain, Werdum, Cormier IMO), but I really don't see him ever fighting in the UFC again. | He said "hottest" haha Beavis and Buttheads laugh - YouTube |
