This is Bullshit that Easton and Papaizan didnt get the FOTN
who ever weaked u is an idiot.
Barry and Morecraft stole some money. Not even close to fight of the night.
how the **** was it not ...call bullchit!!! Easton fight was insane how was it not!!!!!! is whatit is DANA thats bullshit!!!!!! Barry did some great defence to come back and win but the lil guys back and fourth 3rds come on andto be new to the ufc man theyfought hard for you and screwed them on the bonus
EASTON VS PAPAIZAN WAS A DAMN WAAARRRRRRR! 135-185 are the best fights technically. 205-265 u just know someones more likely to get ktfo. ANYWAYS DANA WTF!? Some new guys could've used that money to take their training to a new level. Anyways Pat Barry's post fight ax kick to cage top hang was awesome. Oh and the plank was cool too and i fn hate that planking shit
word that was an amazing fight it was like rockem sock em robots and the first exchange was a mini version of don frye vs takayama gotta give thoose guys a bonus come on
Terrible decision not to give them FOTN, I thought it was pretty obvious.
honestly the fight wasn't that great.....i mean i was half way asleep during that fight both of them lacked skill big time i mean yes it was a war but two guys hitting each other in the face nonstop than hugging against the cage doesn't = FOTN i see why he picked barry and morecraft over them
get that shit outta here JPS
i dont see how this is not fotn...anyone else?
"Pat Barry got back in the win column, knocking out Christian Morecraft in just 22-seconds"
I dont think so, that was Nick Denis.
wrong fight of the night Dana.....Maybe Pat barry deserves escape of the night but definetly not fight of the night....
Dana thought he was watching Pat Barry vs Cheick Congo....Actually maybe he was watching arianny's little ass all night
i prefer brittanys little ass
Congrats anyway to Pat barry !
Brenneman and Roberts didnt get fight of the night?!?!?!?
Surprisingly Pat Barry was kind of an asshole after he knocked Morecraft out.
Heat of the moment.
Agree with the above comments - I'm a huge Barry fan but Easton vs Papazia was definitely FOTN.
