After knocking out Christian Morecraft at UFC on FX 1 last month, Pat Barry has booked his next fight. The heavyweight kickboxer will face Lavar Johnson on the main card of UFC on FOX 3, May 5th in New Jersey, which will officially be headlined by a five-round lightweight contest between Nate Diaz and Jim Miller.
Lavar Johnson scored the Knockout of the Night during last weekend’s UFC on FOX 2 card, by smashing Joey Beltran in the first round of their preliminary card meeting. The win snapped a two-fight losing streak that Johnson had carried over from his stint in Strikeforce. His upcoming scrap with Barry seems like a way for the UFC to guarantee some much-needed excitement for their next FOX broadcast. As for Barry, it’s an opportunity to bump his UFC record over .500 and secure back-to-back victories for the first time in his UFC career.
In other May booking news…
The UFC has confirmed that their third FX card will take place May 15th in Fairfax, Virginia, and will feature a light-heavyweight rematch between Brandon Vera and Thiago Silva. Their first meeting in January 2011 was originally a unanimous decision win for Silva, until he popped positive for a urine adulterant and the fight was changed to a no-contest; Silva later admitted to using prohibited “injections” to treat a back injury he had suffered before the fight. This will be Silva’s first match since coming back from a one-year suspension, while Vera scored a follow-up decision win over Eliot Marshall in October.
UFC on FX 3 will also host a middleweight match between Tom Lawlor and Jason MacDonald.

comments@Jackbequick - Vera needs to go, he is taking up space. Tell me about an exciting Vera fight, and I will tell you about a hooker that can hands free puff on an entire cigarette while being rabbit holed and never drop a single ash. Try to learn that trick Carmen.

Out of curiosity, from your finishes are they KO's, TKO's, or Submissions?

I'm assuming this just a way to re-cut Vera out of the UFC.
-
and a gift matchup for Barry, he should pick Johnson apart.
This was one of the earliest life lessons i recall learning. About as complex as wiping ones own ass.
I'm willing to bet Pat Barrt puts out a video about how every time he takes a dump he ends up smearing shit all over his balls.
.
Oh, and Jason MacDonald still has a job. cool. I was Curious about that for a while.
-
I, once again, see Barry blasting his way to victory.

@Xeno: from yesterday's thread. I am not a Greg Jackson style points fighter. I'm just saying that if you push too hard for a finish it can backfire. See pat Barry check Congo. I go out to finish fights myself. Sometimes it just isn't in the cards.

@everyone else: poll, who wins the interim title? Diaz or Condit? My vote is for Condit but it will be a battle. If he can stick to his gameplan and avoid a face punching contest, use his MT, circle, never get caught flat footed, and not allow Diaz to dictate the entire pace of the fight I can see him winning. If it's a close fight, Diaz will take the decision simply based on the UFC is clearly calling fights sometimes based on the fights they want to put together. In my opinion anyways.
That's like uber stupid...that's like XENO-stupid!
