Josh Barnett Returning to Pro Wrestling On August 9 at IGF in Japan

Josh Barnett, who recently tested positive for anabolic steroids, will briefly step away from mixed martial arts competition and wrestle on August 9 for the Inoki Genome Federation in Japan, according to MMAFanHouse.com.

Barnett has been participating in professional wrestling for several years now with great success.

Prior to failing his drug test, Barnett was scheduled to take on Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction: Trilogy on August 1st. However, Barnett was not granted his license to compete by the CSAC. The match was then cancelled, which led to the eventual downfall of Affliction as an MMA promotion.

It is not yet known if Barnett will be competing in MMA anytime soon.
