Josh Barnett Fires Back at Roy Nelson After PED Related Tweet
By FCF Staff
Recently the UFC confirmed that Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson will fight on September 27th in Japan, and it hasn’t taken long for the heavyweights to get into it via Twitter.
Barnett and Nelson will be coaches on the upcoming “Road to the UFC: Japan” series, and will square off at the Saitama Super Arena when the reality show concludes.
Not long after news of the bout surfaced, Nelson and Barnett tweeted out the following:
I HOPE @UFC DRUG TESTING IS IN EFFECT by then 😉 Right @GeorgesStPierre @arielhelwani pic.twitter.com/nW0haVT4Yy

I'm hoping they allow you to do steroids just make this a competitive fight. Gravy injections haven't worked for you https://t.co/6HX91Ykcte

Barnett failed three drug tests earlier in his career, but in more recent years, the accomplished heavyweight has passed every corresponding test he’s undergone.
