I really want to hear something more about how Tim Hague pulled it out – everyone in the know acted like he was chosen just so Barry could kick his ass.

He hurt Hague badly on the feet, but he is so small and so weak on the ground that a big heavyweight like Hague was able to basically collapse on top of him, flounder around and catch him in a submission.
Barry’s promising but he really needs to lose about 10 pounds of muscle and learn how to cut down to 205.
Either that or they need to carve out a 205 to 230lb division. In my dreams that’s what they would do, but the talent pool is shallow at those sizes.
