<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett (20-5) will take on Hidehiko Yoshida (7-5-1) at the upstart World Victory Road organization’s show on March 5. Barnett confirmed the fight with a recent MySpace bulletin. The event takes place at the Yoyogi First National Gymnasium in Japan. It’ll be the debut show for the organization. World Victory Road launched in 2007 soon after Zuffa LLC (the UFC’s parent company) purchased — and disbanded — PRIDE. Last week the organization signed highly ranked lightweight fighter and former PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi, who will also be a part of the March 5 even</div> Source: http://www.mmajunkie.com Barnett will fight Aleksandar Emelianenko in Chicago in the spring/early summer as well.

Probably see him back in K-1 after long.
just read somewhere else that he was asked to fight on the K-1 NYE event but was asking for too much. said he'd like to fight in the UFC but most likley wants too much $$$. I don't see him as a contender vs all the wrestlers in the UFC.
