The California State Athletic Commission today voted 4-2 to grant Josh Barnett a conditional license to fight in the Golden State.
The decision clears the way for the finals of the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, which is targeted for May 19 in San Jose, Calif. Barnett meets Daniel Cormier in the tournament finale.
As part of his licensing, Barnett will be required to submit clean drug tests prior to any fight in California and could be subject to a revocation should he test positive for banned substances.
