Barnett says Nelson taking ‘gravy injections’
Josh Barnett had some choice words for Roy Nelson via Twitter as the two went at it on the social media platform. They are scheduled to face each other September 26.
A heated Twitter battle broke out between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson this week as the two heavyweights jabbed at each other about Drug testing.
Referring to a new out-of-competition program funded by the UFC that’s set to take effect in July, or two months prior to their headliner at Sept. 26 UFC Fight Night 78 in Saitama, Japan, Roy Nelson tweeted:
Barnett, a former UFC heavyweight champ, wasn’t about to give Nelson a pass, of course. The sarcastic vet tweeted back at his opponent:
The heavyweights meet after their turn as opposing coaches on Road to UFC: Japan, a new reality series that will follow eight Japanese MMA hopefuls who will compete with each other to earn a UFC contract.
