It was almost as though he just gave the fight away and had no answer.
Listen, I absolutely love Barry's personality and think he would be cool as hell to hang out with, etc. But as far as a mid-tier UFC HW, he's about to hit a wall. I hope he decides to get serious about his diet and training and goes down to LHW after this one.
If Kongo doesn't get Barry down in this fight and pound him out or at the very least get a UD I'll be very surprised.
