    The Warmaster has returned to the UFC after over a decade competing overseas and for other promotions. The former heavyweight champion has been away from the UFC since 2002 after being stripped of his title for failing a post-fight drug test. Barnett is 9-1 in his last ten fights, his lone loss coming in a brave but unsuccessful effort against heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier. Barnett has expressed interest in a fight with Frank Mir but no timetable for his return or opponent has been set.

    Re: Josh Barnett re-signs with the UFC, debut pending

    Barnett is expected to face Frank Mir at UFC 164. Yep, I'm totally down with this, even with a bit of a seniors tour vibe to it.

    Seems like a battle of bizarro world twins. I'm totally down to watch it and follow the pre-fight lead up.
