Why is Barry not fighting at LHW? Either way I think Barry might be able to steal one here, stylistically its a decent fight for him and I for one was completely underwhelmed by Del Rosario's last fight.

...Excellent question. Barry is nearly 6 feet but compact like a tank. If Barry went to LHW, I think he could wreck quite a few 205 guys. Pat's kickboxing is stellar and his wrestling has improved. His legkicks alone-- Imagine if landed full and flush on JBJ's twiggy legs. Interesting. If Barry went to 205, that would be a sick addition to the division. I'd love it...

I was excited when Barry first arrived on the scene. His leg kicks were brutal. Figured he would never contend but would get a lot of KO's and be an exciting fighter. But he gets handled on the feet sometimes as well. Proof that hands are better than kicks. If a guy closes the distance none of your kicks will save you. Sort of like Thiago Alves...his hands are way behind his kicks.

I just hot SDR shows up and looks good, he should win the fight but damn he has been underwhelming in the UFC which makes me wonder if he is as good as I thought he was in SF or if he was another example of a guy who looks good fighting bums.

I wonder if the car accident took it out of him. He can't seem to go more than a 1 round. He looked gassed bad after the first round. He was breathing hard and I had a real bad feeling when they came out for the second. I read an interview where he said getting his ass beat in the last fight woke him up, it didn't look like it did. After this fight I am inclined to believe he was just a SF can crusher.

Oh no a man cried! My penis might fall off if I support him now.

GR remains the most southern united states sounding British person I've ever met.

you're a good guy, GR, but you really were born in the wrong country. You're an alabama man through and through.

Nasty KO. When Pat smells blood he's like a big crying girl with a brick in her purse.
