Veteran Josh Barnett returned to Ultimate in style. The American, who was once heavyweight champion, knocked out the former title holder Frank mir in less than two minutes of fighting at UFC 164, in August. Now, scheduled to face Travis Browne, next Saturday (28), in a duel that could lead to a title fight, he doesn't create expectations and says it will be 'just another fight'.
“It will just be another fight. The octagon is the same as always. It doesn't matter if it's just the two of us in a gym, or if we're fighting in front of millions of people around the world. I've been doing this since I was in the gym in Seattle, and we drew crowds to the fights. It's cool that there are a lot of people interested in the show, but that doesn't change anything in my preparation”, said Josh, in an interview with the North American version of the Yahoo website.
The fight between Josh Barnett and Travis Browne will be on the main card of UFC 168, an event that takes place next Saturday (28), in Las Vegas, and will have as its main attraction the expected rematch between Chris Weidman e Anderson Silva.
