GFL Video: Vintage footage of Josh Barnett smashing 'Mondragon'

Former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett has had a few ups and downs in his career, but one thing is for sure: Put “The Warmaster” up against a fighter with anything less than world-class grappling skills, and watch him smash.

Barnett was involved in such a matchup in April 2010, when he traveled to Australia’s Brisbane Entertainment Center to take on Brazilian heavyweight Geronimo “Mondragon” Dos Santos. While Dos Santos owns 25 career wins by knockout, he’s never been terribly effective from his back.

Barnett took advantage of that at “Impact Fighting Championship 1: The Uprising.”

Check out the highlights above, courtesy of GoFightLive.tv, as Barnett took the fight to the floor and delivered some 40 unanswered blows to earn the first-round stoppage.

And catch Barnett (34-7 MMA, 6-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) back in action next weekend, when he takes on Ben Rothwell (35-9 MMA, 5-3 UFC) at UFC on FOX 18 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
