Josh Barnett hopes Roy Nelson is allowed to use steroids for UFC showdown in Japan

The heavyweight showdown between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson -- which is set for UFC Fight Night 78 on Sept. 27, 2015 inside Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan -- was just recently announced, and already the two big men have begun their war of words.

"Big Country" took to Twitter, expressing his desire to see the new drug-testing policy from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) being enforced in time for their international bout.

Because, well you know...

Not one to sit idly by, Barnett fired back with a clever remark of his own, hoping the company makes an exception and lets Nelson use steroids, just to make the bout a bit more competitive.
