Josh "The Baby-Faced Assassin" Barnett has fought in MMA for years, winning the UFC heavyweight crown, as well as being a tough competitor in Japanese pro-wrestling.... And if you have a problem with that, you can take it up with him.
Barnett was a student of legendary catch wrestler Karl Gotch, who passed away this year. In this photo, we see Barnett's new move, the "Gotch Special," which he slapped on another veteran MMA fighter, Don Frye. The two were wrestling as part of Antonio Inoki's IGF promotion on Sept. 8.
The move looks like a double wrist-lock with a head scissor. We've already seen Barnett do a German Suplex (a move popularized by Gotch) against Yuki Kondo in a Pancrase fight, so now I'd to see "The Gotch Special" in an MMA fight.
