New York, November 6 - Chris Barnett, known as "Huggy Bear," has signed with Power Slap, a slap-fighting promotion. This marks the first time a former UFC fighter has made the transition to Power Slap. Currently, Barnett does not have a scheduled debut match or date. Prior to Power Slap, Barnett spent four years and six fights in the UFC, recording a 2-4 record.
Despite his struggles, he was well-liked as an underdog, including a memorable spinning wheel kick knockout of Gian Villante in 2021. After a disappointing loss to Hamdy Abdelwahab in 2022, Barnett returned to victory in Karate Combat. This move by Power Slap signifies a historic first for the promotion. Barnett's journeyman status and combat sports experience could potentially lead him to success in his new venture.
