He was originally supposed to face Barnett in the second edition last year. However, that never happened due to Moxley’s Staph infection and COVID-19. Ultimately, Barnett faced Chris Dickinson instead.
For the uninitiated, Bloodsport is a wrestling event promoted by Game Changer Wrestling. Unlike normal bouts that end with a pinfall, Bloodsport can only end in knockouts or submissions. Additionally, there is no traditional “ring”.
The MMA style matches often become stiff or “shoot-style” to channel the intensity of the event.
This will be the fourth edition of Bloodsport. Matt Riddle was one of the pioneers of the event but the last two matches have featured Barnett.
Josh Barnett is a trained mixed-martial artist and a former UFC Champion, currently signed to Bellator MMA. Moxley is a WWE alumnus and the current AEW World Champion.
