Harry Kettle - January 25, 2022

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has booked two new fights for April, including the return of Chris Barnett. The UFC is gearing up for yet another year full of mouth-watering fights from pay-per-views to fight nights and beyond. While it may seem like we’ve only really just allowed the dust to settle on 2021, we’ve already had the first PPV event of 2022 after UFC 270 went down in Anaheim this past weekend.

Chris Barnett reacts after landing incredible spinning wheel kick KO on Gian Villante at UFC 268

Adam Martin - November 7, 2021

UFC heavyweight Chris Barnett reacted after landing an incredible spinning wheel kick KO on Gian Villante at Saturday’s UFC 268 event. Barnett was making his second UFC appearance after losing by submission to Ben Rothwell earlier this year. At 5’9″ and weighing in around the 265lbs heavyweight limit, Barnett is far from the most physically-imposing heavyweight on the UFC roster. But just because someone doesn’t have a six-pack doesn’t mean that they can’t fight. On Saturday night at UFC 268, Barnett picked up the first win of his UFC career when he landed an absolutely astonishing spinning wheel kick KO on Villante. It was an absolutely insane knockout and the fact that Barnett of all people landed the kick was beyond incredible.
