Josh Barnett is set to face off against a fellow MMA veteran at his next Bloodsport event.

It was announced today that Barnett vs. Oli Thompson will be part of the card for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport: London on September 28. The show — which is the latest MMA-inspired pro wrestling event from Game Changer Wrestling and Barnett — is taking place at the Electric Ballroom and will air live on TrillerTV+.

Thompson is making his Bloodsport debut in the match. Nicknamed “The Spartan,” he is from the United Kingdom and has competed in MMA for the UFC, Bellator, KSW, and more. He is also a former strongman champion.

The power of two massive heavyweights meeting toe to toe threatens to crack the foundation of Camden Town.
