How would Josh Barnett do in the UFC in 2021?

[superpunch]

He was still winning when he left the UFC back in 2016. His last fight was a win by RNC over Andrei Arlovski who is still winning fights. So, if he hadn't left the UFC for greener pastures, would he still be in the UFC? Would he still be winning?

Here's his last fight from a few months ago:

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

I don't think the UFC miss Steroid Boy Barnett tbh

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

Probably still breaks top 10.

 

[xBarnmuckerx]

I mean he’d probably sub some guys. Lose to the better guys. Basically how he did in 2016.

 

[King in the North]

Probably better than you would expect an overweight 40+ year old guy with his best years way behind him to do.

 

[SteveColdStone]

Top 10

 

[Xuh]

He would fail his first drugs test then spend the rest of the year on suspension.

Wtf I didnt even know he fought. His last fight was against Arlovski wikipedia says.

That was a bareknuckle boxing match with elbows.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

I don't see anyone beating him. He would easily be champion within a year of returning to the company.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I’d pick him to sub Franc

 

[mjfan23]

Top ten

You're using the internet wrong.

 

[Chillez]

Top ten

 

[DooHoChoi]

Losing to USADA

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

Top 5 for sure. Heavyweight is the only division that has not improved over the years in terms of talent, one might argue it has regressed.

 

[witt1021]

he would beat himself and usada might pick up a win or two.

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

I love the guy but steroids steroids steroids

 

[Joseph_McBride]

He would get submitted by Rothwell again

 

[Greg House]

One of the most promising prospects of the division, Tanner Boser, got completely outclassed and handled by 40+ years old Arlovski. Overeem is also dominating the new names at 40+. There is nothing new. He would do fine. Top 10 for sure... maybe even top 5 with the right fights. And that's just sad
