Nearly 20 years into his MMA career, Josh Barnett proved he can still win on a UFC main-event stage when he defeated fellow ex-heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 93 headliner.

Barnett (35-8 MMA, 7-3 UFC) won the back-and-forth fight and became the first man to submit Arlovski (25-13 MMA, 14-7 UFC) with the help of a third-round rear-naked choke.

Outside of the main event, UFC Fight Night 93 was a largely lackluster card, with eight of 11 fights on the UFC Fight Pass stream going the distance. Nonetheless, some notable feats occurred at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. For more, check out 30 post-fight facts about UFC Fight Night 93.
