Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Quote of the Day: Phil Baroni Hits Bottom

Bad-ass_medium

"I was at a gas station one night and some dudes were getting hammered and were getting ready to go drive their car...And they were like, 'Hey, dude. Nice entrance.' Yeah. Nice entrance. Not even nice fight.

"That wasn't a great moment. I got 'nice entrance' from some drunk dudes at a gas station once. That's all I got from that (fight on national TV)."

-- Phil Baroni talking about the moment that helped him decide to drop down to 170lbs.

Phil Baroni is hella shot. I’m not sure he could have competed successfully on TUF 6, he’s so bad.

Yeah I don’t see a Baroni return to the UFC happening, but I’m glad he’s fighting and winning and that he has goals. At his peak he was a very dangerous fighter.

I’ve seen Baroni/Alonso, thanks to FSN, and Baroni could have been given a legit L there. The problem is that Olaf Alonso is not any good.

He’s a good example of someone who hasn’t really evolved with the game. Other than decent power in his hands, what weapons does he have?

You wanna know why he has not evolved with his game? Two words: Hammer House

His team is what is holding him back. Everyone from that gym peaked and never got any better. They never evolved. They are all content on being the same fighter in every fight. Baroni is the brawler. Coleman is the straight wrestler. Randelman is another wrestler that likes to brawl.

Baroni moved on to Team Quest and more recently American Kickboxing Academy so he’s working on that problem. Maybe too late but still something he’s addressing.

To be fair, that brunette is pretty stacked.

Dana White is pretty good friends with Phil I believe. I think with Elite XC going down, I think Dana would be willing to give Phil another chance. I say Phil vs. Pete Sell II at 170.

What does he expect? He hasn’t gotten better over time he has gotten worse. It seems like he puts more effort into a good entrance than a good fight.
