Josh Barnett's UFC return delayed (again) after heavyweight accepts movie role

If we're LUCKY, we won't see "Warmaster" back in action until late 2015.

If you were hoping to see Josh Barnett back inside the Octagon this summer, keep dreaming.

According to a recent report from "UFC Tonight," the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight contender has delayed his mixed martial arts (MMA) comeback, once again, after accepting a movie role that will command all of his time in the coming months.

As a result, "Warmaster" won't have the time to train his mind and body for a fight. Instead, the 37-year-old will be busy memorizing lines for his latest Hollywood venture, as well as (wisely) preparing for life after MMA.
