It looked like Barnett (23-8) was done for in the opening round of his preliminary bout with Collier, as Collier got the better of the striking before threatening to finish with ground-and-pound and a rear-naked choke.

'The comeback of the year!': Fans stunned by 'wild' war, even better celebrations.

I love you for real, I love you from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of it. But man, Jake, just a great dude, so glad I got to share the octagon with him. I had to improve on my game. “You go for the take-down, I’m a short guy, I had to move. “When I felt him clinch, you’re a liar sir. This means the world to me, this means the world to me!

UFC 279: Chris Barnett Wins Wild Brawl with Jake Collier (Cageside Press)

Heavyweight action kicked off the UFC 279 televised prelims, with a pair of heavyweights pushing the upper limit of the weight class in action.

Collier went for a leg lock, but ate a bunch of ground n’ pound, and eventually Barnett moved to mount. Like Barnett had in the first, Collier was given plenty of chances to survive, and for a while he did. He moved just enough to stay in the fight, but soon the ground n’ pound was too much, with the ref calling it — and Barnett celebrating with his traditional front flip. Barnett then fired a spinning kick to the midsection, landing. Collier then pressed forward, landing clean with a right hand, taking advantage of the vision issues Barnett was having due to the aforementioned cut. With that in mind, the weight miss is an easy one to forgive, but he would still have his hands full with Collier, who tipped the scales at 265lbs.
