Josh Barnett signs with Bellator

Josh Barnett will be returning to the MMA cage after all. Former UFC fighter and one of the great catch wrestlers of our time will be making his way back into the cage at age 41.

 

Bellator has yet to announce a date and opponent for Barnettโ€™s promotional debut.

Barnett (35-8) hasnโ€™t fought in MMA since September of 2016, when he scored a third-round submission over Andrei Arlovski. He’s since gone through abig USADA ordeal which ended when an arbitrator โ€œdetermined that a public reprimand was appropriateโ€ instead of a suspension, USADA announced in March 2018.

Barnett was set to appear at combat jiu jitsu at some point but uin the end made no appearance at the event.
