MMA Record: 18-3-0 (3-1 UFC)
Josh Burkman “The People’s Warrior” is an excellent wrestler finishing second in his state in the sport during his senior year of high school. Burkman fought on the Ultimate Fighter 2. His record greatly varies between sources. Sherdog as well as Wikipedia report his record as 7-3-0 while UFC officially reports it signifigantly higher at 18-3-0. For the sake of statistics I will be using the 7-3-0 record.
Burkman, like Ed Herman, is a member of Team Quest. The People’s Warrior won his first UFC bout on the Ultimate Fighter 2 finale by knocking out Sammy Morgan. Burkman followed the win up with another triumph, this time at Fight Night 3 when he made Drew Fickett tap. Next he fell to Jon Fitch at Fight Night 4 via submission before recovering and getting the win against Josh Neer at UFC 61 with a unanimous decision.
Josh has 2 (T)KOs along with 3 submissions and 2 decisions in the win column. All three of his losses have come from submission. Having good submission defense will be Burkman’s focus at Fight Night 8 in Florida. He is an extremely strong fighter and will look to use his strength to take down opponent Chad Reiner.
