Josh Barnett added yet another significant piece to his resume.
Barnett became the first man to submit Andrei Arlovski, as he tapped his fellow former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their UFC Fight Night 93 (online betting) UFC Fight Night “Arlovski vs. Barnett” co-main event on Saturday at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Arlovski (25-13, 14-7 UFC) conceded defeat 2:53 into round three.
Both fighters found themselves dazed by power punches inside the first 20 seconds, with Arlovski emerging from the exchange bleeding from a cut near his hairline.
