Josh Barnett close to signing with Strikeforce

[Liquidrob]

They talked about it on Inside MMA last night

Josh really brings the SF HW division to the next level if they sign him, they have 5 top line HW's now with a bunch of prospects

Overeem
Werdum
Fedor
Big Foot Silva
Barnett

AA
Sergei
Rogers

Del Rosario
Lashley
Cormier
Lavar Johnson

nice. i hope it happens. would certainly help bolster the HW division and adds a bunch of interesting matchups. overeem-barnett would be sweet.

That would really mix things up and make for some great fights. Like I said last week, Barnett is the man who can get Coker out of this Fedor/reem/werdum problem, because he can book Fedor/Barnett.

Put that on PPV, call it "Night Of The Heavyweights", and push it on CBS & Showtime.

BOOK IT

Someone needs to hire me & rob to book a promotion, call Frank & make it happen.

They better be fighting in Japan, there is no way that walking pharmacy passes the piss test.

Barnett is a saavy guy, he probably mistimed his cycle or failed on a fluke, these guys have beating the tests down to a science (literally), he'll pass the next one.

Remember too, he was never technically suspended, he was denied a license.
