Atommweight Alyssa Garcia , the protege of former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett, agrees with that statement. Yes, she says, there is the extra weight that comes with Barnett’s public support.

Rizin Grand Prix Open Weight 2016 results: ‘Cro Cop’ stops ‘King Mo,’ meets ‘Baruto’ in tournament semifinals

The second round of the 16-man Rizin Open Weight Grand Prix 2016 ended in an upset. MMA legend Mirko Filipovic added another remarkable win to his lengthy resume when he stopped Muhammed Lawal by second-round TKO for arguably his most significant victory in several years. “Cro Cop” (33-11-2) managed to thwart several of Lawal’s (20-6) takedown attempts and picked up a head of steam in the striking department before an uppercut landed midway through the second round that dropped “King Mo” and led to the surprising stoppage in the headlining bout of the online-streamed event at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Although he won, Filipovic was forced to overcome some adversity when Lawal scored a big takedown less than 30 seconds into the fight. He spent more than half the round in top control before the referee decided to stand the fight up, and that’s when Filipovic started to unleash his patented kicks
