Barnett plans MMA return in 2010

MMA heavyweight Josh Barnett is planning to resume his career in 2010.

Barnett tested positive for steroids in June 2009, something that forced Affliction to cancel their show and close their promotion.

“Definitely something’s going to happen this year,” Barnett said during an interview on The Fight Show with Mauro Ranallo.

Barnett remains unsure where he would end up fighting, but confirms talks with Strikeforce.

“As soon as any promotion out there stops bull—-ing and comes correct, that’s all,” Barnett said when asked when he would fight again.

“If they want me to fight, all they got to do is step up to the plate, throw me an opportunity and don’t put something in front of me that’s a slap in my face or ridiculous.”
