He may be 38 years old, but Josh Barnett is still one of the top heavyweights in the world. And he proved it again on Saturday with his submission victory over Andrei Arlovski at UFC Fight Night 93 in Hamburg, Germany.
The veterans Barnett and Arlovski — who both broke into the UFC at UFC 28 in 2000, yet have never faced each other — rocked each other early, and then engaged in a back-and-forth fight into the third round of their five-round main event. In the third, Barnett was took over, taking the fight to the canvas, and finally submitting Arlovski with a short choke.
