Phil Baroni Cut by the UFC

Well, yeah.

Lets hope he makes it somewhere. Hopefully NOT a reality show

is more interesting than his fights.

Hopefully he realizes that he can do more than just fight.

Color commentary, perhaps. Youth counseling.

and the occasional can crunch on the side, if the money’s good…

if Tavares was any indicator. But at least he also know’s now that he just can’t take those same bombs anymore, if Tavares was any indicator.

He was doing well until he got caught . Baroni needs to kick Coleman to the curb and stick with a real cornerman/team. I understand he trains w/ AKA, he needs them in his corner instead of Coleman who can offer him minimal advice on current MMA.

who didn’t know the nyba is a marginal fighter? It sucks he’s losing his job but I think everyone knew he wasn’t going to last long in the ufc.

Fucking finally.

I mean…ummm…best of luck?

There is nothing about Phil Baroni that is good for MMA. Sorry.

and they were hugely behind Phil including a couple ppl who said they’d stop watching the UFC if they cut him (lol). Interesting change of pace here.

This is the only 13-13 fighter most of us would even considering giving the time of day to… mostly because it’s just a sad reflection of what could’ve been.

For me, Team Hammer House is one of the greatest regrets I feel in the history of MMA… Randleman, Coleman, Baroni, et al… could’ve been so much more in their prime years if they would’ve trained properly. Each of them had reasonable abilities and a skillset that could’ve made history if any of them grew and expanded even marginally with the times.

I feel Hammer House is if say… Einstein got distracted and his life became about repairing cars instead.

I think Baroni is a bit less in comparison to the absolute waste of Randleman and Coleman… but he’s 34 now and apparently training correctly (maybe)… If he had done so in a more formative time in his life… man, it’s just sad to think about. If he had been even moderately well-rounded… developed cardio instead of “fuck me please” muscles… with his power and charisma… he could’ve ran the dark times of MMA and have been a legend.

My other source of MMA depression has been Vitor Belfort… at least there’s some redemption there with his unwarranted but completely interesting (to me) title shot. He has broken my heart so many times like an ex… that I still occasionally text because I miss what I thought was there.

Reality is that he’s a .500 fighter.

I am expecting Brandon Vera to get cut as well, and possibly Marcus Davis (I actually kind of doubt the UFC would cut Davis until losing 4 in a row though). Baroni’s skills just aren’t up to snuff in this day and age in the UFC, and I honestly can’t see him beat a lower-tier UFC fighter in his respective weight class/classes. Baroni’s used to build up fighters like Amir Sadollah and Brad Tavares, but that is the only role that he was good for in the UFC.

one of a kind! his urban dictionary entry/description still kills me every time

Dude is more interested in working on his mirror muscles than fighting

Hard to keep ’em when you can actually hear him gassing at the 90-second mark.

But Baroni should seriously consider a move to the WWE.

13-13
