http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/2/6/3960726/josh-barnett-officially-declines-ufc-contract-offer "According to Barnett's manager Leland LaBarre, Barnett has officially declined the promotion's latest contract offer. 'We agreed on guaranteed compensation,' LaBarre said. 'In fact, we never even countered. We accepted their original offer.' 'However, there are some outlying issues -- one in particular -- that as of this point we were unable to agree on.' Labarre said he didn't feel it was appropriate at this time to discuss which issue both sides couldn't come to terms on."

Curtis_E_Bare 1 Member Since: 6/3/09 Posts: 25	If I had to guess I’d say it’s to do with the exclusivity agreement. Barnett likes to do the professional wrasslin’ thing and Dana has refused participation in other “sports’ in the past, boxing, sambo etc. You have ignored this user.

Old Feller 24 Member Since: 10/13/06 Posts: 3787	Great fighter, but it seems like he and his agent over-estimate his drawing power.  Rightly or wrongly, the UFC holds all the cards here.  You have ignored this user.

Chris27 502 Member Since: 10/24/11 Posts: 8324	If its the wrestling that proves Barnett was never serious about wanting to fight in the UFC against the best because he knows they dont allow that for anyone. If he wants to do wrestling than he is gonna end up in bellator with a TNA/Bellator deal which would be sad to see. You have ignored this user.

InvisibleControl Member Since: 9/27/10 Posts: 535	What a loss man. I hope they work it out. He NEEDS to be in the UFC again. Too much talent to let go to waste. I hope they figure it out. Wonder if it's over something like not letting him have metal walkout music? haha. Please work it out. Please. So many great match-ups there for him. You have ignored this user.
