A nickname is something that evolves over the passage of time with any particular athlete because it can show a side of them that the average everyday fan almost never gets to see except for behind the scenes or through the lens of a photographer’s camera. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a predator of boardwalk peril looking for some poetic justice by serving up a slice of humble pie in a silent manner and watch the opposition eat their own spoken speech at welterweight for Cage Fury Fighting Championships. A professional mixed martial artist since July 2023 and representing Han Ho Martial Arts and Marquez MMA, Cole Barnard touts a 4-1-1 record in five tilts consisting of two decisions, one knockout one submission and a no contest. He is 2-0 under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner with two wins in two appearances with the promotion. Barnard has finished two out of his four total victories in his time as a professional MMA fighter. His whole career has been in the United States. Barnard has gone to the scorecards twice through five affairs inside the professional ranks. Both of his professional finishes have come inside of a single round.
In his professional MMA debut at Flex Fight Series volume 25 The Tiki Takedown, he faced Pernell Rachael and submitted him via kimura in round one. Barnard also defeated Thomas Kernan via technical knockout in the first round at Flex Fight Series volume 37 Full Throttle Combat. Then in his promotional debut under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner at CFFC 152, he defeated Christopher Conway via unanimous decision.
For his second outing with Cage Fury Fighting Championships on the main card of CFFC 157, Barnard defeated Gavin Rice via a split decision to earn the second decision victory of his professional career in addition to notching back-to-back wins under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner. He also picked up his fourth victory as part of his overall arc as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. Barnard in one bird of prey where mistakes and misfortune are ominous omen for foes frightened by a lucky draw of the deck!
