Impressed with Pat's willingness to fight Cro Cop on short notice for the Australia card, it now appears that he will be fighting Cro Cop at UFC 115 in what will be a main card attraction. Pat talked about his willingness to fight Cro Cop on our last show and is more than excited for this fight.
No contracts have been signed, but sources say that both sides have been offered the fight.
Fan reaction of the possibility of this fight was largely positive when it was rumored for UFC 110. With 2 former K-1 Strikers in the Octagon, there will be no shortage of excitement in Vancouver.
Its all about Cro Cops name. Barry was scheduled to fave Yvel but now I guess they give him Cro Cop because it is a bigger draw, however I think Yvel is as good or just as good as CC right now. I hope Barry KOs him and elevates his career here.
man, this either propels barry and sends crocop tumbling down or crashes barry's hype train (which i am a first class passenger of) and just leaves crocop still in a type of "beating him does not mean much"-limbo.
it is a good fight on a good card and i look forward to this being finalized.
I've been nervous about Cro Cop in all his fights since he lost to Gonzaga. This one doesn't scare me at all. Barry isn't going to go for a takedown because his ground game is worse than Mirko's. I think Mirko will shine in this one with a big KO. I can Dream right
Cro Cops striking looked slow in his last fight, and although better than in other fights, I still see Barry having a decisive striking advantage in this one, and I have Barry by KO. Anyone fancy a sig bet to prove me wrong?
FTR I have Barry via 2nd round (T)KO, he is the better striker. Cro Cop found that slick left counter for JDS (nobody seems to mention that, he was only using his left hand the entire fight and was landing alot.... thats why im not as impressed with JDS as others i guess), i dont see him finding a leak that that for Barry ATM. Barry is gonna work the leg kick master with low leg kicks and we wont see the LHK much and CC will get tagged and give up.
This is a lucky matchup for Barry. Fight a washed up yesteryear striker and launch yourself up the ladder.
On the flip side, wtf does Cro Cop gain out of this? Beating Barry really does not do all that much for him as far as standings or reputation go. Nog or even Rothwell would have been more relevant fights for him in my opinion. All this fight does is risk his career. And honestly I see his career pretty much ending in this fight.
berry is too fast.. and really hungry... bad fight for cro cop...if cro cop actaully wins i say title shot because pat berry is a MONSTER and can knock out any ufc fighter
