Josh Barnett To Face Yuji Nagata At Bloodsport XV

Josh Barnett and Yuji Nagata will clash at Bloodsport XV.
The two clashed at NJPW Wrestling World 2003 with Nagata successfully defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in the bout.
Barnett is 11-3-1 in Bloodsport bouts. This is Nagata’s Bloodsport debut.
23 Years ago, these two met in the Tokyo Dome, vying for the IWGP Heavyweight championship. It was the beginning for one, and for other, standing against an outside foe coming to take what he has earned.
