With the in-cage battle between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson still several months away, they've decided to take their beef into the poorly photoshopped world of Twitter while they wait to punch each other in the face for real.

Nelson is referring to Barnett's checkered history of PED use, which includes three failed drug tests - though he hasn't been flagged since 2009 when he flunked a screening prior to a bout with Fedor Emelianenko.
It didn't take long for The Warmaster to respond to the jab, feasting on the low-hanging fruit of Nelson's ample waistline.
I'm hoping they allow you to do steroids just make this a competitive fight. Gravy injections haven't worked for you https://t.co/6HX91Ykcte

Barnett and Nelson will face off in person Sept. 27 at UFC Fight Night Japan.
