With two consecutive stoppage losses against Cheick Kongo and Stefan Struve, and a 3-4 record in the UFC overall, Pat Barry truly needs to get his shit together tomorrow night in Nashville. He and Christian Morecraft will be slugging it out in the opening bout of UFC on FX 1‘s main card, and a third loss could spell the end of Barry’s UFC contract.
Or maybe not. UFC president Dana White has long been a fan of Barry’s “Hype or Die” style, and records don’t matter to Barry anyway. As he told MMAJunkie:
“Coming off two losses is no different than coming off two wins, in my opinion…The sport has evolved nowadays to where it’s not just about fighting any more. We’re entertainers. We’re athletes first, but we’re entertainers along with being athletes. So we’ve got to be able to fight, and we’ve got to be able to perform. I can throw a jab and run from anybody. But who wants to see that?…I come into put on a show. It’s ‘HD.’ Either I’m killing people, or I’m getting killed. I’m going to lose better than anybody if I do.”
We’ll give it to Pat; he definitely loses better than anybody.

If the UFC is going to keep on with the ridiculous amount of shows, then they are going to need guys like Barry, losing record or not.

Nailed it.

Zuffa can no longer risk letting him get disillusioned with BAMMA, or going to Bellator. They got too many shows to keep up with now.
.
And they need lots of new blood.
True. If you think about his losses though, he was winning almost all of them for most of the fight. He could've and should've finished CroCop but was too in love to do so. He had Congo out on his feet like 3 times. He was kicking Struve's ass before getting caught in the submission.
Overall I agree. If he learned some ground game the guy could almost beat the majority of all the HW's.
He is always fun to watch though and UFC needs guys like him.

I will say though, as much as I love the guy, he isnt progressing as a fighter. It might be nice to see him get at least some semblance of a ground game and to be a little less reckless. His destruction of Hardunk through hands alone was pretty goddamn awesome.
Morecraft may rush this thing to the ground like when he fought Struve, for 2 rds he had Struve in big trouble, Barry won't be able to handle to GnP of Morecraft. We'll see if in between BJ's Brock taught Barry some wrestling.
