Josh Barnett, the popular and controversial UFC heavyweight, has taken another job in Hollywood, which will supersede his job as a fighter for the immediate future.
The news came out Tuesday night on the cable TV program UFC Tonight (h/t Dave Meltzer of MMAFighting.com).
Josh Barnett is filming a movie this summer and won't fight until much later this year.
