from www.mmaweekly.com :
When Josh Barnett left the UFC, many people thought he would jump right into working for the rival company in Pride. Now years later the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, will try to win a Pride Heavyweight Championship in Japan.
Zac Arnold broke the story that Josh Barnett has officially signed on the dotted line with DSE and the Pride Fighting Championships.
"I'm just glad to get a fight..." Barnett told MMAWeekly's Ryan Bennett last night. "I was just sitting around waiting for a fight, so I'm glad to be fighting again."
It's unknown who Barnett will be fighting, but it most likely will happen in October. Barnett wanted to be a part of the Heavyweight Grand Prix, but for whatever reason, it didn't happen.
Josh says he is still under contract as a professional wrestler for New Japan, but is anxious about the opportunity to fight again. Hopefully the Minotauro Nogueira vs Josh Barnett fight that we wanted to see years ago, when both were champions for rival organizations, can know take place in the near future in Japan.
