Once again, Josh Barnett and the UFC are parting ways.
On Wednesday, MMAJunkie reported that Barnett had been released by the UFC, but speaking to ESPN, Barnett stressed that he had not yet been let go by the promotion but was currently in negotiations with the organization for his release and had no bad feelings towards the company.
“It’s true that I have asked for my release and we are discussing the terms now,” Barnett said. “Zuffa has been fantastic and above-board since I re-signed with the company. Every promise made has been kept and I have no disparaging words for them.
