Josh Barnett vs. Chris Dickinson (GCW, 9/14/19)

I'm not that familiar with Chris Dickinson but he looked okay here - his grappling is whatever but Barnett did a good job of giving him enough to create the illusion. Some of his kicks looked good and they came off more like cheap shots to stun Barnett, who clearly had the advantage on the mat. Good escalation into some shoot suplexes, including a very cool deadlift German from Dickinson and some nasty follow-up kicks, which leads to the finishing stretch and Barnett putting him away with a gutwrench powerbomb>knees>head kick combo. It didn't hit the same highs as Barnett/Suzuki but still a very good match.
