Barnett had won that promotion’s tourney two and a half years prior. While there, one of the tournament’s fighters approached him looking for some advice. Turns out the fighter who came up to him was a 20-year-old Ben Rothwell , and Barnett hasn’t forgotten it. “I remember meeting Ben way back at the ‘Superbrawl’ heavyweight tournament …,” Barnett said earlier this week.
