After facing one of his childhood idles, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, UFC heavyweight Pat Barry had to make a trip to the hospital after their fight due to a broken hand and foot.
Barry posted the picture from his Twitter account, twitter.com/hypeordie, noting that he broke his hand in the first and his foot in either the first or second round against the big Croatian.
Broke hand in first Broke something in foot in first or second
Nooo, it sucks to say, but I pannicked last night after I knew my hand and foot were done. I burned out trying to end it with power hits.
Barry’s performance in the fight was certainly affected by the injuries, after dominating the first round against “Cro Cop,” and helped to lead to his submission loss in the third round.
The UFC president, Dana White, talked about the loss for Barry, noting the fighter offered too much respect as a friend instead of facing a dangerous foe.
“He respected Cro Cop, but kind of had this feeling like I know I’m going to take him out tonight. I think he played that fight all wrong.”
