Chris Barnett

34 | 5’9″ | Tampa, Florida, US | 21-6 | 16 Finishes | 16 KO/TKOs | Combined Opponents’ Record: 217-117-1 | Best Win – Walt Harris (1-0)

Chris Barnett isn’t really looked at as a prospect due to his lengthy record and the fact that he’s been fighting since 2009. He still hasn’t had a shot on a big show however, and 34 remains relatively young for a heavyweight. He has a lot of wins over questionable competition but has beat a lot of decent guys including UFC contender Walt Harris.

Barnett may be looked down on considering his physique but he is one of the most agile big men seen. Barnett is a showman who will throw a variety of kicks. He’s not a championship level fighter in the UFC but is super fun to watch and frankly UFC fans would be intrigued.
