Former UFC middleweight Luke Barnatt discusses his release from the UFC and what might be next for him.
Luke Barnatt may have made it to the big time a little too quickly. The 27-year-old British middleweight had just five pro fights when he was recruited for the 17th season of the Ultimate Fighter. After being eliminated in the quarter-finals (in the fight of the season), he was given a shot anyway and promptly won three fights in a row. Unfortunately, two split decisions and a clear cut loss followed, and Barnatt was handed his walking papers by the promotion.
