Before his positive steroid test caused the fight to be scrapped, Josh Barnett was scheduled to fight Fedor Emelianenko in a heavyweight clash of the titans last summer. Now Barnett is just a week and a half away from a return to MMA after more than a year off — and he’s expected to face a slightly easier opponent than Fedor.

Josh Gross of SI.com reports that Barnett is likely to face Siala “Mighty Mo” Siliga at Dream.13 on March 22. That’s a rather embarrassing step down in quality of opposition for Barnett, and a reminder of just how far Barnett has fallen since eight months ago, when he was regarded by many as the No. 2 heavyweight in the world and a real threat to Fedor.
