| I am pumped for this fight. Cro Cop is a legend and probably the greatest kick boxer in mma history. Pat Barry is an emerging star who also possesses some of the best kick boxing in the sport. His leg kicks are absolutely vicious. How do you guys see this playing out, and does a convincing win for Pat Barry move him into the top 10? | |

| I believe so. Younger, faster, and most importantly, hungrier. I don't see Cro Cop submitting him and I don't think Cro Cop will be able to keep up and check Berry's kicks. He has a pretty interesting kickboxing upbringing. Chinese Kung Fu, Sanchou, to Ernesto Hoost. Given that he was fighting to keep himself from being homeless in his last fight makes me believe that he knows what could of been and his drive is burning hotter than Cro Cop. This is a good match though Cro Cop has the weapon but pulling the trigger hasn't been as easy for him.
5'11 kickboxing heavyweight. don't even know what to make of it. He has been able to kick the legs out of some suspect HW's so far but seems like there could be a serious ceiling for the guy at some point. | |

| Barry definitely doesn't move into the top 10. I think he'll run through Crocop though even though I'm rooting for Mirko | |

| Barry showed some decent wrestling in his last fight, so I doubt Cro Cop can take him down. He's fast, he throws a very straight and hard jab, his right hand is nasty, then his kicks are just ridiculous. I don't think Cro Cop can take Barry right now. | |

| Hope not, I got an AV bet riding on CC. Barry is the slight favorite though. | |

| No. Typically a torch passing would be CroCop losing to the CroCop of the next generation...i'm not sure who that is...but it AINT Pat Barry. | |

He stole it back when no one was looking. Anti terror stuff going on no one saw or knows about. | |

Dos Santos is a pure boxer though. I dont see how his style compares to Cro Cop really. Pat Barry is a legit k1 level kick boxer. A lot of people are still sleeping on him apparently though, maybe cause he is still a bit unproven but i think his striking is some of the best if not the best in the HW division right now. Im always pumped to see his fights. The dude is a human wrecking ball. | |

| Dos Santos isn't really a pure boxer. Wasn't he a Brazilian kickboxing champion? | |

| I'm rooting for Cro Cop in this harder than any other fighter tomorrow night. Really hope he's got enough left in the tank to win this one | |

| Barry by 1st round TKO.
I hope I am wrong on this one though because I love Mirko. | |

| Cro cop started slow in the UFC with that loss to Gonzo and then Kongo, I think both are better than Barry at this point or at that point, then he fought Jr who is a top 5 beast, Barry still has a lot to prove, he's solid, but this is by far his toughest fight yet. | |
