Senast vi såg Josh Barnett i UFC var år 2002, under sin match mot Randy Couture på UFC 36. En match som Josh tog hem via TKO i andra ronden. Nu är han aktuell med sin kommande match mot Nandor Guelmino på kommande ”Strikeforce – Marquardt vs. Saffiedine”.
Här pratar Barnett om att det verkar sannolikt för en retur till organisationen, så här säger han via ”MMAFighting.com”:
I think it’s pretty likely. I think it’s a good fit for a person like me. I mean, unless you don’t want me to go in there and beat all those dudes up and completely throw your rankings out of whack, and change the whole perception of who the best heavyweights in the world are.
Now if you don’t want that, then yeah, definitely don’t bring me over. But if you just want to have the biggest and best collection of heavyweights in the world, then you’ve got to have me there.
I want to go where the opportunity is best. And I like the idea of that full roster over there being at my disposal to be disposed of. I’ve been in this game longer than the new version of the UFC has, so I’m sure that my management and everybody will work it out to wherever fits best, that’s where I’ll be.
Matchen mot Nandor kommer att ta plats den 12 januari, i Oklahoma.
