Luke Barnatt: Beating Khalidov makes me a three-fight promotion champ
A regular commentator for one of Europe’s stalking horse fight promotions, Absolut Championship Berkut, Luke Barnatt is poised to remind us of his other persona - ‘Bigslow’. Barnatt takes to the cage of the aforementioned fight promotion this Saturday in Manchester, England, where he will clash with arguably one of the most esteemed middleweights outside of the UFC, Mamed Khalidov.
“Mamed Khalidov has been the best middleweight outside the UFC for the last 10 years,” Barnatt told WHOATV. “He’s is the furthest I can reach, he’s the biggest name I can fight, the best name I can clash outside of the UFC. Being outside of the UFC, it is very hard to get meaningful fights.”
