Mcmax3000 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'm only surprised it took so long. I can't even remember the last time he fought. He was under a USADA provisional suspension, which he then actually got cleared of in arbitration (I believe that happened near the end of March), but during that time, he took himself out of the testing pool, so he wasn’t eligible to fight again until after he did six months of testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaricBob Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) I actually see him going to Rizin before Bellator. At least he has a few fans in Japan. Edited June 21, 2018 by BarbaricBob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyWang Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Bellator is getting one more well known guy who is completely washed up. Barnett is 40, he does not meet the age requirement for bellator. In ten years, they'll at least consider him 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StompGrind Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Same here. Totally forgot him lol Wasnt he suspended on USADA violation ? I think so but i don't remember. I totally forgot about him too. I did see him coaching some grappling event called Quintet recently in Japan with Saku. Was pretty cool. Bit confusing though because it was a different rule set than most grappling tournaments. Was a team concept with the winner staying on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StompGrind Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Interesting. I will try to look this tournament up. It wasn't all that exciting tbh but the concept was interesting & different.

sobercuban Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Didn't they just **** him around with USADA for years on end? He got exonerated and didn't want to fight under USADA so the UFC probably granted him release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Can Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Not claiming Barnett is top tier but theirs only like 3 top tier HW's in the UFC currently lmao you can call him washed up but almost all HW's are washed up, the average age of a HW ufc figher is over 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Can Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 He got exonerated and didn't want to fight under USADA so the UFC probably granted him release. not wanting to fight under USADA is just another way of saying I want to do PEDS and if he wants to do PEDS in Bellator by all means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcmax3000 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 He got exonerated and didn't want to fight under USADA so the UFC probably granted him release. Given his age, I could see him not wanting to go through the six months of testing to be eligible to fight again more so than just being anti-USADA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatinumClegg Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 It has SIX that are 30 or younger... King Can is such an appropriate name for you. Stop trying to steal Soup's gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to steal Soup's gimmick. add Cormier and Lesnar back to that number because both are supposedly HW's, then add Barnett, include Frank Mir before he was released a month ago and damnit its a high number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcmax3000 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 “It’s true that I have asked for my release, and we are discussing the terms now,” Barnett said. “Zuffa (parent company of the UFC) has been fantastic and above-board since I re-signed with the company (in 2013). Every promise made has been kept, and I have no disparaging words for them. After everything I went through with USADA, and my vindication in that case, I don’t feel comfortable giving the control necessary to USADA that would continue my career in the UFC.” https://mmajunkie.com/2018/06/josh-barnett-ufc-release-usada-distrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
