VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Getting kicked by UFC heavyweight Pat Barry on daily basis sucks. Getting kicked by Pat Barry while holding pads from the Reagan era really, really sucks.
Jeff “Duke” Roufus, Barry’s trainer, found himself in that position today at an open workout promoting Barry’s fight with Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic this Saturday at UFC 115.
Delta Airlines lost the luggage containing his gear on the flight into Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and he had to ask UFC welterweight Claude Patrick’s trainer for an extra pair of kick pads and hand mitts.
