Josh Barnett has made it clear that he believes Jake Hager needs to stay in his lane.
Hager, a former WWE world heavyweight champion and current AEW pro wrestler—as well as a 3-0 (1 NC) fighter in Bellator’s heavyweight division—recently revealed to MMA Fighting that he is actively seeking the fight with the returning Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator’s first event to take place in Moscow on Oct. 23.
The words of Hager caught the attention of Barnett who took to Twitter to give this thoughts on the situation.
The Fedor sweepstakes has taken on a life of its own since Bellator made the announcement earlier this month, with names such as Barnett, Hager, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, and even current PFL fighter Fabricio Werdum throwing their names in the hat.
