After losing two straight fights, Pat Barry needed to beat Christian Morecraft just to feel safe about keeping his job.
While some fighters play it safe in those situations, Barry did quite the opposite and went after the bigger Morecraft, earning the first round knockout win and the kick boxer even showed off some ground skills prior to the finish.
It was a huge victory for Barry to become relevant in the UFC’s heavyweight division, but now that he has gotten back into the win column, a whole new batch of opponents are available for Barry to try and brutalize.
