Pat Barry got the chance to fight with his idol Mirko Cro Cop last night, but it came at the cost of a defeat on his record, and a broken hand and foot.
“Broke hand in first Broke something in foot in first or second,” Barry revealed on twitter after the fight.
He also offered up a frank assessment of his performance.
“it sucks to say, but I panicked last night after I knew my hand and foot were done. I burned out trying to end it with power hits.”
On the bright side, at least Barry now has plenty of room on his casts for Cro Cop to give him an autograph!
His personality has won him a lot of fans in the build up and aftermath of his fight with the PRIDE legend, and so that ensures that he should maintain his place on the UFC roster for some time to come.
Mirko Cro Cop carrer is over?
Former PRIDE superstar, Mirko Cro Cop could be about to hang up his gloves for good as a fighter if reports in the Croatian media are to be believed, but apparently the fighter still has aspirations of staying on with the UFC in an ambassador role.According to Nova TV in Croatia, Cro Cop had said before the fight that win, lose or draw against Pat Barry he expected it to be the end of the road for him competitively. This also coincides with the end of his current deal with the UFC although the promotion are said to be keen on renewing it.The promotion must decide a direction for the Croatian who clearly has no hope of wading his way through the likes of Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez on route to the title. Perhaps a marquee fight with UFC “Hall of Famer”, Randy Couture would be more fitting if a deal can be done. Stay tuned
