Sucks to see Barry get cut.

That does suck, I liked Pat Barry a lot.  He shouldn't have kept pushing it at HW though.  Those guys are just too big for him.  I think he could have made a great run at LHW.

I like Barry and like his style, but he's been knocked out so many times in the UFC I was starting to feel bad for him.

Phan never got an easy fight, most of his fights he was fed to a better fighter to get them back on track with an awesome scrap.  Sucks to see him get cut, but at least he'll be known as one of the few fighters who truly never had a boring fight

that sucks that Nam got cut . he was in a bunch of tough fights and looked pretty good at 135 vs Mizugaki who is a top 10 guy for his first fight at the division . Barry makes sense tho i like him but he's really not that good

Like there are so many heavyweights out there that are better than Barry ... NOT. Fighters are asked to take risks and go balls to the wall, well in the heavyweight division that's what happens, you either KO or get KO'd if you do that.

I think if Pat had tried circling around and leg kicking people to death he'd have more wins and still be in the UFC, but that's not his style and that's what the UFC supposedly wants.

******* sucks, but hey, that's the nature of the business, I guess.

@yoss Anthony Hamilton , Cheick Kongo , Vitaly Minakov , Andrei Arlovski , Satoshi Ishii , Vinicius  Quieroz , Brett Rogers , Blagoi  Ivanov .are all heavyweights i find that are better then him outside the UFC . i really like Barry seems super cool but he's just not UFC material . id like to see him vs Peter Graham that would be a fun fight .

Being exciting doesn't do much for you if you don't win consistently.  Both Barry and Phan stuck around a while in spite of losing, but that can only last so long.

If Barry had just a little more luck he would have won over CC and Kongo.

Neither is Phan
Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani51m

Many asked if Pat Barry was cut from UFC last night. I confirmed w/ his mgr @BrianButler_Au he has NOT been cut. He confirmed w/ UFC 2day.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani5m

The other rumor I was asked about a ton was @NamPhanMMA getting cut. Not true either, says Phan, who confirmed with UFC. Stop the lies.
