Suspended UFC fighter Josh Barnett is expected to return to pro wrestling tonight and make his debut at a taping for TNA Wrestling.
Barnett, a former UFC heavyweight champion, has a pro wrestling background in Japan and currently announces for a pro wrestling television show. He is in Orlando on Thursday, where TNA is finishing up an eight-day taping schedule at Universal Studios.
The belief is that there will be some sort of a confrontation with Barnett against TNA world champion Bobby Lashley, who is also an MMA fighter for Bellator, creating a unique UFC vs. Bellator battle within the pro wrestling world.
