..."Fighters are becoming more and more and more complete than it was before."
"But to get to victory today, in this competition, you also must have your day. It doesn't mean that I am looking for excuse, but sometimes you just don't feel good..."
"I remember in this preparation, there was a day that my sparring partners were beating me up. Next day I came and I knocked them out, all of them -- just like that, you know?"
"I just feel good that day. Some other day, I don't feel good, and when it happens on the fight, then you are in trouble. But of course, I did everything I could to prepare myself, to put my body in the best possible shape. I trained good, hard for this fight and I will do my best. I'm sure Pat will do his best, and so we will see."
"The leg is finally completely recovered. It was very hard injury, you know, so it really took time. Now it is one-and-a-half years since I had the operation, and now it's finally OK."

UFC should have built a huge hype train for this
Could have sold it as his last hurrah or the momentum boost he needs to get back to contender status.
Orrrr Barry’s first big win to catapult his career.
I’d love to see Barry and Mirko make a gentleman’s agreement not to take it to the ground.
Could have made it seem like old legendary striker vs the younger, more explosive athlete.
Kickboxer vs Kickboxer
Would have created some more buzz for the fight.
He seems very relaxed, which could work one of two ways. Hopefully he will open up & let fly. Looking forward to a great fight and I feel Cro Cop will have the experience as an MMA fighter to take it.

what kind of mag did he pick up?
Inhale deep, like the words of my breath—I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
Looks like a comic book to me.

Excited for this fight
Probably the fight I’m most excited for. A lot of people seem to think Cro-Cop has little chance, but after UFC 114, Cro-Cop beating Barry shouldn’t be the surprise of the year.
I don’t know if anyone else listened to the entire conference call for UFC 115 they did a few days ago but Barry and Cro-Cop couldn’t have been more freaking cordial to each other. Barry came off as the biggest Cro-Cop fan and kept saying he wanted to get his autograph before the fight. Mirko had some really nice things about Barry as well. This was the complete opposite of the Rampage/Evans conference call.
