Quote of the Day: Pat Barry, "I'm Not a Blood Thirsty Animal"

I'm not a bloodthirsty animal. I've hit guys, and this is bad for me, but I've hit some guys with some real stiff shots and not followed it up. Like -- boom -- then kind of like look at them to see if they're OK. Not OK, but if they're dazed enough that the ref would stop the fight, versus some guy being unconscious, and, while he's unconscious, me hit him six more times before the ref gets to him. That's also bad because I've had guys in really bad situations where if I was to just bump into them a little, I'd finish the fight, and guys have gone from dazed to woken up. If you remember the Tim Hague fight [at UFC 98], when he stumbled back, he was out. He was like dazed. All I had to do was just touch him, but instead I backed up and looked at him. So by the time I got back to him, he was back awake again.

Am I the only one who isn’t sure what he’s talking about?
Is he saying that he intentionally lets fighters recover, so he can KO them?
You know thowse phrases like
“Killer instinct” and “smells blood” and all that? He’s saying he doesn’t have that. He’s saying that despite knowing at a higher cognitive level that it is to his detriment to ease up on an opponent who is hurt, he doesn’t have it in him to batter an opponent he already sees is unable to fight back.
It’s fascinating. He’s had a pretty healthy measure of success in spite of that. We’ll see if he continues over time.
My motto,
As I live and learn,
is:
Dig and Be Dug
In Return.

what those guys said plus
he’s trying to sell his loss to Hague as a win.

It's a big mistake
To let your opponents off the hook. Not only does it dramatically hurt your chances of winning, it may also be more damaging to your opponent.
Better to finish them off right there than to let them recover slightly and take another 100 punches to the head.
Plus, Mike Tyson style knockouts are more fun to watch.
I love the story on his first ever fight:
I fought a guy named David Rochon down in New Orleans, my very first match. Out of all the fights I ever had, that had to absolutely be one of the weirdest experiences ever. I got in the ring, and I hit the guy in the stomach and he hunched over. And when he hunched over, I actually put my hand on his back and asked him if he was OK. And he [proceeded to] uppercut me in the face. So I hit him in the stomach again, boom, and he hunches back over. And I say, "Look man, I’m just trying to see if you’re OK." And he, like, puts his hand up and smacks me again. And I was, like, "What are you doing?" I hit him in the stomach like two or three more times, and I kept saying, like I was having like a fit, saying "I’m just trying to see if you’re alright!" in the middle of a fight. That was an amateur kickboxing match, my very first kickboxing match ever.

doubt it
Remember he was broke as shit before his last fight and was on the ketchup diet. Oh and there was a picture of him a couple weeks ago without a shirt on and he looked more in shape than ever lol.
I just meant he’s going to be pretty compact at 250 lbs.

Ok, I guess it’s one of his “Get Hype” shirts with a Disco Viking vibe to it…
Take ONE Karate class, if you're so into Karate...
ok, now I am vaguely remembering Berry putting out his version of the viking...
that must be why he copies it in his shirt. Enough of this damn Techno Viking shit. I am getting obsessed, lol

It’s incredibly hard to have anything but good feelings for this guy. He’s hilarious in his own way, and a genuinely good guy. The story about him getting those two bonus checks and trying to cash them was awesome.

What Pat Barry needs to do is desensitize himself to horrible things.
This is a 3 step process to turn yourself into a sociopath:
1 Watch 2 Girls 1 Cup until it stops making you sick
2 Memorize a Jay Leno monologue
3 Shoot a kitten in the face.

I would skip number 2
Satoshi Ishii did all three and look what happened.

Meh
2 Girls 1 Cup isn’t so shocking once you realize it isn’t actually poop. Now, some sick shit is either “Mr. Hands” or the 1 Guy 1 Jar where the glass breaks in his bumhole

I have a feeling I'm about to make my most regretted Google search ever.
Yeah? Remember last year when Lebron won the MVP? Who took home the real MVP? You know, the one the comes with a damn championship?

DON'T WATCH MR. HANDS
Inhale deep, like the words of my breath—I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
I read about it, it didn’t sound too bad, regular gay bestiality if I may.

The guy died from it like a week later

There’s an excellent documentary called Sick: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist about the titular performance artist who used BDSM as a mental release from his cystic fibrosis. The most famous scene involves him nailing his penis to a board, then pulling the nail out while splashing blood on the camera.

No, but I’ve heard of it. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like a typical Boys’ Club, except instead of bragging about the women they lay, it’s animals.

He did it maaaany times, and one time, the horse ruptured his colon or whatever, he was ashamed to go to the hospital and died. He died from doing horses for sure, but not from this particular “intercourse”. At least that’s what I heard.

There’s also a Mrs. Hands, which is more graphic at the end, if you know what I mean.

You can never unwatch Mr. Hands!
That shit is permanently seared into my brain.
I freakin hate you...
Just watched 1 guy 1 jar. God damn.
J/K, I don’t really hate you but jeez that was nasty. He seemed so calm pulling the shards out of his ass too!

How was he so calm? Had to be on some HEAVY drugs whilst doing that.

I am pretty hyped for his fight with Cro Cop.
Way more hyped for it than for the bullshit main event. Someone is gonna knock someone the fuck out and I’ll be happy no matter who does it.
pat berry is great, the dude is rock solid and cracks me up
that being said, i hope cro cop punts his head all the way to zagreb
everyones favorite whipping boy
It’s hilarious to me.. Only pic better would be one of Shinya Aoki with the NO U guy on his t-shirt while he’s doing the same thing.

Even when Pat Barry is wearing a shirt it’s a shirt of himself with no shirt on.
