Josh Barnett wants JDS

Josh Barnett wants to reclaim his UFC heavyweight title and “The Warmaster” knows he has to go through former champ Junior Dos Santos for that opportunity.
“I talked to his manager and he wants to fight Junior Dos Santos next,” reporter Ariel Helwani said on this week’s edition of “UFC Tonight.” “He wants to get back in the title picture and he has to go through him.”
Wait up, did Barnett’s manager essentially just label dos Santos as the heavyweight division’s gatekeeper? Well, after two straight lopsided losses to reigning champ Cain Velasquez, I guess I can see where he’s coming from.
