Meanhwile, during a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Barnett discussed his Bloodsport match with Pestock at ‘The People vs. GCW’ event on Sunday night.
Barnett said, “We put together this Bloodsport match for the Hammerstein show, being that Bloodsport is a big premier event under the GCW banner, and this is kind of like a GCW WrestleMania of sorts, at least that’s the way I see it. We needed something big, so six-foot-six, six-foot-seven, 280 pounds, that’s pretty big, and it was quite the battle. He is definitely someone who has combat skills. I could tell that the boxing experience is there, jiu-jitsu purple belt, he just won a tournament. So he came prepared.”
