got to be frustrating for Barry

I think he’d beat Hague 7/10 times, just lost his head and made a mistake.
Needs to work on his ground game!
And I think cut down to 205.

I’d say its closer to 9/10 but I’m really worried about his fighting style. He drops his hands almost the entire fight and seemed to be more worried about being an entertainer than a fighter (I don’t remember one leg kick in the entire fight). On top of that he clearly has some liabilities in the ground game.

Hes got a TON of potential so I hope he learned his lesson that in the UFC, everyone is a threat.

Gotta hand it to Pat though...

…no excuses. He just explained what happened from his point of view and made no bones about it. I have seen him on Inside MMA and he is a really cool guy.

Was he working with Bas on this fight? Between Pat and Benji they both broke away from the game plan that Bas set them up with. You see this a lot. The best fighters follow their game plan and usually win. Even the best guys in the business *cough*arloski*cough* can get caught when they break from the plan. I think that Andre was really taking it to Fedor when he screwed up.
