Former heavyweight champion Josh Barnett is set to make his return to mixed martial arts at Dream 13.
Reports have suggested that Barnett would be on the Dream 13 card, but it was officially confirmed by Dream on Thursday.
Dream 13 is set to take place in Yokohama, Japan, on March 22.
SI.com’s Josh Gross has suggested that Barnett could face Siala ‘Mighty Mo’ Siliga at the March event.
Barnett has not fought in MMA since January 2009 after being denied a license in California after testing positive for a banned substance.
Dream has also lined up a fight between bantamweights Yoshiro Maeda and Cole Escovedo for the event.
