03:39 PM ET 02.19 | Free agent Josh Barnett released a statement to explain why he decided to down a deal with the UFC. "I was excited to fight [Dos Santos]. I thought he was a very favorable matchup for me, but Zuffa was unwilling to give me something that they gave Eddie Alvarez. No disrespect to Eddie, but I felt it was fair to give it to me as well," Barnett said.
