In a perfect world, Chris Barnett would be a superstar in the world of MMA. But we all know that the world isn’t perfect, and it’s been even less than that for the 38-year-old heavyweight, who finally makes his return to the Octagon this Saturday against Kennedy Nzechukwu.
It’s been over two years since the Georgia product last fought, a time filled with injuries, hurricanes, and dealing with the loss of his wife in May of 2022 while still taking care of his two kids.
