It appears for now that Josh Barnett will not go before the California State Athletic Commission prior his appearance in Strikeforce’s upcoming heavyweight grand prix.
Barnett missed a Jan. 10 deadline to address a fight-license application he filed with CSAC two months after signing a contract with the California-based promotion.
CSAC officials will move forward anyway during a Feb. 4 meeting in Los Angeles and make a ruling on the application, CSAC Executive Director George Dodd on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com.
