Enrique Johnatan Barzola Acosta[1] (born 28 April 1989) is a Peruvian mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight division of Professional Fighters League.

[2] Barzola was a wrestler and never thought that he would become a professional fighter, due to money being scarce to pay for MMA lessons.

He has enjoyed mixed martial arts from a young age, watching Cain Velasquez and Fedor Emelianenko on YouTube.

[17] After three rounds, judges awarded the win to Barzola via unanimous decision with (29-28) across the score board.

[19] However, Allen was pulled from the fight on 11 January due to alleged visa issues which restricted his ability to travel, and he was replaced by Matt Bessette.
