Danny Barlow wants to see America back at the forefront of mixed martial arts. Barlow (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) suggests it’s been a while since the spotlight has been on the U.S. when it comes to MMA, and he wants to be the one to help bring it back. Outside of Jon Jones, no other current UFC champion is American. An undefeated welterweight on the rise, Barlow meets Sam Patterson (12-2-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 253 ( ESPN+ ) featured prelim at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He hopes to make some noise with this performance.
