Barnett spoke to the commissioners about regaining a license to fight in the state after a license renewal test in 2009 showed the fighter had traces of anabolic steroids in his system, causing denial of his license renewal at that time for a fight with Fedor Emelianenko.
On Thursday, Barnett looked to re-apply for his license while appearing before the commission, but due to some confusion about what would actually take place at the meeting, the former UFC champion did not have his legal counsel present.
Essentially, the commissioners along with their counsel would be questioning Barnett under oath, and without formal representation there to advise him, the Strikeforce fighter opted to wait and appear another day.
