Love this guy's energy.
Glad he finally got into the ufc. Always had to follow up on him with those legendary highlight reels. Ufc needs to try and keep these guys who bring the fun-factor. They just let Cowboy Oliveira go. Another one they should've kept for the fun fights.

Taekwondo changed my life and it looks like this guy's life too. Endless love and respect to my coach. This is certainly the type of fighter your can't help but to cheer for.
What a lovable guy
Ive had the pleasure of sharing a locker room with chris a few times on the regional scene and getting to know him some. Absolutely one of the most down to earth fun loving people you will ever meet! Always smiling and so fun to be around. Really happy to see him find the success he deserves !
Need more guys like him out there.

a good boy from a good family 👌🏾
"the Tae Kwon dough boy" huge fan of his
Feels so good being a winner
He is such an awesome character mashallah
Chris Barnett is literally my spirit animal
Fighting in front of a crowd, winning and entertaining. That’s the only way to increase your longevity in the UFC.
Dude reminds me of a fighting video game character
This is amazing!! Love this man, his energy is infectious! And you know his family being a taekwondo loved his spinning heel kick KO. And his story is like a movie. Guys from a gym found him at a club throwing kicks into dancing🤣🤣
Rooting for this man in the UFC
Has the charisma to be a superstar, hope it goes well for him

Barnett is very unique, entertaining and his charisma makes him a fighter hard to not like he something special for sure
He literally just said “I know what imma do, imma do some spinning stuff” favorite fighter
He has a great personality and I really like his breakdown of his hook kick. Definitely should more videos with Chris Barnett.
Love this guy 😂 what a beast
I love this guy he represnts those dudes that people count out
Can’t wait to see this guy in the octagon again good to see he’s getting some spotlight impressive performance last don’t know if I liked the dancing or ko better haha
This guy seems like a really genuine dude. I wish the best for him and his career
Chris Barnett the future HW GOAT, can't wait to see a clash of the titans between him and Parker Porter in the near future 🙏
I knew when I watched him fight & also celebrate that he was my kind of ppl. Watching this only solidifies that. He has the sweetest eyes & face. Smart parents too. Seems like a great family
I will cheer for this guy. His energy is infectious ✌️
Hearing him explain how his adjustments and execution of that crazy kick..... Pretty interesting
I remember how hyped I got watching him perform haha
What a great Human Being! All the success to you Big Man!
Okay, this guy is awesome. I want to see more of him
It is a wonderful thing to see a man be truly himself and express himself unapologetically.
Awesome! More of these vids PLEASE.
I love to see this legend do absolutely anything.
His Taekwondo is beastly
I like his energy, always fun, he's authentic, unique and rare, good luck my man👍
This guys such a star in the making, super funny and just real, so refreshing
Love the whole Barnett family❤️❤️
Absolutely great upload!
This guy is so wholesome, hope he finds success
He is a very likable guy. You don't see too many people like this. I truly wish him all the best. I look forward to seeing what he does in the future.
Having a high fight IQ(making reads in the fight like that) + that mobility/flexibility makes him super dangerous for this division. Might reach up into the Top 5 at the very least, get that money!

I think he can have success, the heavyweight division right now isn't great outside of the top 5 or so guys, but I don't think Barnett is at that level. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, he's a fun guy with a skill set that doesn't really exist in guys his size.

@@triplelife5147 definitely he enters top 10 in my opinion. He's a taekwondo guy expect him fighting like WB point fighting style that's easy in heavyweight comparing to other divisions.
Protect this man at all costs!
UFC, I very much appreciate the insight on this man. Great story. Can't wait to see his road to success.
Bout time my guy gets his shine. Love the story. Thanks ufc for giving chris a chance 💯

Dude i LOVE Barnett, i've been following his carreer from 2018 and he is fantastic. I would love to be like him, we have really similar fighting styles, he is for real my inspiration.
Love seeing Chris fight! Always super entertaining!
After Chris's last fight this is the most unexpected fighting style that was a must see for the next one. to be on non ppv card that I don't have to work OT to pay for makes this the gift fight of the year, hope you pull off another W man good luck with all your challenges ahead
