He's a returning former UFC champion who is 1-1 since coming back to the promotion. He's fantastic on the mic and always entertains in the cage. He's got his own podcast, and just yesterday (Saturday night) he became the first man to submit Dean Lister in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in over sixteen years at Metamoris 4, submitting the former KOTC champion with a scarf hold choke. Yet oddly since his return, the UFC hasn't done as much with them as they could. Barnett, with his fantastic speaking ability, should be headlining at least a Fight Night card, and getting more exposure on FOX, but the UFC seems to be dropping the ball with him. Maybe there's still bad blood over past failed drug tests, but thus far Barnett seems to have put that behind him.
