Perhaps with only six pro fights in mixed martial arts say it sounds rushed, but Pat Barry with those few presentations has shown that there is the best striker in the division. And you will be able to demonstrate on Saturday June 12 at UFC 115 when faced with the Croatian Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, yes the best striker of the heavyweights of all time.
Since October last year that the fighter of 30 years do not see action. That night he knocked the Dutchman Antoni Hardonk and pocketed a lot of dollars in your bank account Why? Best knockout and best fight of the night. Could not ask for more.
But his moment of glory will come to fight with Mirko Cro Cop, in what will be the co-star of the first UFC event to be held in Vancouver, Canada. Barry thinks about having to face a fighter the likes of Croatia.
"I'm expecting the same Mirko which has always presented. I do not fear me why he has already faced the best at the time and despite losing, he has also won over many. Cro Cop is going to give and take with anyone on the planet, so I think I have to surprise chances are very slim. I think this fight will transform into a night of kick boxing, in fact, I have no doubt that we will, "says presaging a very entertaining fight.
He also remembers the day when Joe Silva (in charge of assembling the clashes) and UFC president Dana White, he was offered the opportunity to see their faces against Mirko.
"I did not have to think about it, I prefer to fight with him and not with anyone who base their play in the fight. If I have to, I will, but I do not want to fight with people who just try to break me and keep me on the floor 15 minutes, crossing it. To be the best you must beat the best, and do not think there is a better rapper than Cro Cop in our category, "says the fighter born in New Orleans.
Other important developments in Saturday's fight is that Barry will be facing one of its greatest idols, one of those fighters that has drawn many lessons for career development both inside and outside the octagon. This may play against you as happened to Georges St. Pierre against Matt Hughes the first time I fought, but Barry did not think it was inconvenient.
"That will not be a problem. He is one of my heroes and someone I've learned many things, but as we enter the Octagon will be just us two. And there'll no doubt do not want to be hospitalized after receiving one of his kicks so I try to knock him out first, "says Pat.
After being injured in his last bout against Hardonk, needed some time away from the octagon to recover. That helped him to focus on points of style in which needed improvement.
"I trained a lot in wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. Moreover, recently won a tournament for white belts, I conquered by submission to my four and that gave me great confidence for further improvement. I had to take time to heal from the injury on my thumb, but I took the opportunity to help my teammates, "says proud of their achievements.
While his fights always ended up being transmitted in the event he's played, this is the first time I put in the second biggest fight of the night. What will that mean for him?
"It's a fight and I will take as all the others. My mom is very excited to see me on the posters of events, but for me the way to deal with the combat is the same as ever. There are many people coming here and starting to be booed because they fight in a conservative, I want to do the opposite. As above arrives, I will strive to provide great entertainment, "says excite everyone.
In this era of giant heavyweight champions as Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin who need to cut weight to mark the boundary of the division, Pat Barry is very small in front of them (235 lbs), but does not give too much importance .
"The truth is that all I draw a lot of advantage in weight, but does not bother me. I like fighting with people about the size of Ben Rothwell and Antoni Hardonk not reach the limit of the division and are not as fast as Mirko or Cain Velasquez. That is another of the complications that brings fight against Croatian is as fast as I and I have the opportunity to get many differences in that aspect, "says concerned about what it is.
Finally they leave a few words to the fans who will watch him fight on 12 June.
"Do not close your eyes for a second because it will be a fight of a single assault. I assure you that I hope will have fun ... just be me who wins and who do not hit me before one of his kicks in the middle of the head, "he concludes.
It's time to be seen to be Pat Barry. And above all things, may mean a generational break in the history of the heavyweight strikers. The legend is faced with the best today, maybe that Saturday is the day indicated for one to deliver the baton to another and start to say that Barry was no longer promise to become reality.
