Strikeforce heavyweight attraction and former PRIDE FC star Josh Barnett had his mixed martial arts (MMA) license reinstated today (March 5, 2012) during a special hearing in front of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC).

But not without provisions.

"The Warmaster" must consent to "random biological fluid testing" at a time and place determined by the commission prior to his participation at any event held in the state of California.

Barnett, who is expected to fight undefeated division standout Daniel Cormier under the Strikeforce banner on May 19, has been battling the CSAC for over two years to get back in their good graces following his failed drug test back in 2009, one that sank the S.S. Affliction and canceled a late summer superfight against Fedor Emelianenko.

Now he's back, primarily because the state of California "needs good fighters," according to the commission.

More details on his reinstated license, as well as his upcoming fight against "DC," as they become available. For more on the fight between Josh Barnett vs. Daniel Cormier, including when it is expected to take place, click here.
