I just read in a news article today that Bellator isn’t interested in Barnett either.

barnett is good enough to be in the ufc its a shame to see ufc holding the grudge against him. That said hed probably make more money at one fc or dream anyways.

Iron_Cobra – Agreed! But if Marquart can return after DW said he will never fight in the UFC again, then he might as well have signed Barnett and Babaloo. DW is famous for making a statement, then going 180 on it a year later. (strikeforce business as usual comment, Miguel Torres, never see women in the UFC, WEC is doing fine, no plans to absorb the promotion)

Half of them have been with UFC before, but I am surprised to see Couture on there.

The Josh Barnett oversight is a tragedy. Dana White sucks!

Wish Masvidal was there.

Yeah, I hope this is just the list of fighters signed so far. Barnett would be an incredible add. The middle-weight division sure got stronger.

barnett’s a good fighter but his personality is retarded…i don’t care to see him & his stupid wwe antics…i cringe every time the guy opens his mouth…

psxdogg Says, in 1-16-2013 at 15:17:33 from 68.191.32.129    

Barnett will be in, Danas just going to play hardball with him.

I guess we will never see Frank Mir vs. Josh Barnett… pity.

Hice Hice Says, in 1-16-2013 at 15:44:33 from 99.64.59.240    

and no Tyron Woodley?

AznPersuasion Says, in 1-16-2013 at 16:26:26 from 174.108.90.204    

I looked it up. It looks like Tyron Woodley also made the cut. Fight maybe in February.

I’m interested to see how Luke Rockhold will do since he was talking so much s*** about the 2nd Silva vs Sonnen match reight be fore it happened

josh barnett is a knob who is extremely difficult to deal with business wise. and how many times has he tested positive for peds?

I thought Dana said nate the great/the most boring fighter in mma will never fight in the mma again ? they need Josh Barnett badly what do you guys think?

mygif
danada Says, in 1-16-2013 at 17:52:43 from 64.229.25.111    

YES! Jacare! Mousasi! Cormier! Melendez! This is amazing news. Can’t wait to see these guys making waves in the UFC!

boss Says, in 1-16-2013 at 18:08:46 from 138.163.128.41    

@ shocktime – Jacare will do his thing as long as he doesn’t run into hector lombard… then it’s lights out for the gator

Jose Aldo Says, in 1-16-2013 at 18:18:39 from 174.53.234.109    

Mousasi!

CMON – SIGN BARNETT DAMMIT!

Gegard Mousasi!! Love his fights and calm attitude

DavidJones Says, in 1-16-2013 at 19:25:26 from 174.65.84.57    

dana white hates barnett even if josh becomes number 2 on the planet he probebly wont be back in the UFC–
if a fighter pisses of dana white he’s history, this bald f***** will keep acting god till his heart attack, fat ass.

tobes Says, in 1-16-2013 at 20:16:40 from 99.232.57.160    

surprised about cormier but see in the comments above that he might be on his way. also surprised Masvidal wasn’t on the list, but again, they could just still be in negotiations

skifri3 Says, in 1-16-2013 at 20:29:52 from 66.74.232.145    

My guess is that Barnett is playing hardball and demanding a lot of money. He got paid a quarter-million in his last fight to destroy a squash opponent. I don’t think the UFC intends to pay him that kind of money (nor should they… Benson Henderson didn’t even make 6-figures in winning his 2nd title defense).

iWay Says, in 1-16-2013 at 21:26:38 from 174.66.141.20    

dang, barnett cant get a deal with ufc OR bellator … this guy played his cards wrong. i have wanted to see him match up against frank mir for a long time. it would have been more appealing to see that fight years ago when they were younger and in their prime, but i’d still like to see it today

drunkentigah Says, in 1-16-2013 at 22:00:54 from 75.83.71.59    

I’m glad Melendez is finally getting a shot. He deserves it. Cormier will def. kill it.

Can’t wait to see Gegard fight Bones!

Rockhold, Jacare and Roger Gracie are all bigger than Mousasi and they fight at 185, come on Gegard move down

Stan Says, in 1-17-2013 at 11:05:46 from 174.46.252.54    

I imagine Barnett’s absence has more to do with Barnett than the UFC holding a grudge. I don’t think the UFC thinks he’s worth as much money as he probably does.
