Because today is April 1, also known as April Fool&#8217;s Day, there was still speculation despite Helwani&#8217;s examining of Barnett&#8217;s freshly signed contract.

Since then, Barnett returned to the UFC and went 3-2 scoring big wins over fellow former champions in Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir. The latter also joined Bellator last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnett&#8217;s last fight came against Arlovski in the main event of UFC Hamburg which was in September 2016. Thus putting Barnett on the longest MMA hiatus of his incredible 43-fight career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnett doesn&#8217;t have an opponent or promotional debut date set just yet but surely fans will have some interest in seeing <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/bellator\/dear-mma-gods-the-true-time-for-affliction-is-now\/\">the long-awaited showdown between him and Fedor Emelianenko<\/a>.
