The rightful Champion having never lost it lol.

I know there are UFC fighters that Barnett can beat, but I have no interest in seeing him back in the UFC.

Not like he's going to be champ or anything.

Pleased for him although your right in what you say all I can hope for is he has enough left in him to at least go out with a bang and put on a few good shows feel he deserves that much.

Barnett although a great fighter is a multiple drug cheat and doesnt deserve to be in the UFC

What he says is correct though, he has been a top 10 dude for as long as I can remember.

Would he have been there that long if he didn't juice?

Hard to pass comment, he fought 4 times in the UFC without failing a test before winning the title and then failing a test, whether he took them for the title fight who knows. Despite 3 losses to a prime Mirko Cro Cop the dude has only to a prime Pedro Rizzo who'd just fought and lost in a title fight, a prime Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira who he had recently beaten and the 2nd best heavyweight in the world currently, he's beaten everybody else. How many times as he failed a drugs test?

Problem is, all that sounds great, but with his multiple drugs busts it all gets pulled into serious doubt.
Did he win those fights because he's a talented Heavyweight, or because he's a blatant drugs cheat who got away with it more often than he got caught? Not saying other guys aren't juicing, but he's the one's who has been caught repeatedly & unfortunately that will taint his entire career & it's all his fault.

There are a lot of fighters on drugs that are or were the best fighters in the world.

Yeah I agree, others are possibly doing it but we'll never know for sure.
BUT with Barnett there is proof having been caught repeatedly, that for me is a big difference.
