Ohhh Baroni would get punked by Rich, nevermind Andeson Silva!

Baroni’s game has gotten a lot better since when he went to Pride. I dont think he could hang with the top 3, but if Okami loses to Rich, Okami/Baroni would be awesome.

baroni is gonna get it handed to him against frank shamrock, and he’s got a lot of nerve talking shit about the ufc mw division, if he was that much better then he’d be there competing for the belt, not talking shit from afar…i say if he comes back let evan tanner whoop his ass again…

Baroni is a tough brawler, no doubt. His sub game is ok, but I think all he brings to the UFC is a puncher’s chance. The Spider would dismantle Baroni with MT.

Agree with tha spida. I like Shamrock by sub.

Two Words for Mr. Phil Baroni..

PETE SELL

I sure hope he’s improved if he’s going to return to a UFC middleweight division supposedly inhabited by a bunch of bums. When he left us, it was after dropping a pair of losses to Matt Lindland, a pair of losses to Evan Tanner and getting choked out by Pete Sell. Since then, he’s gone 5-2 against mediocre talent. His biggest career win is over Amar Suloev 5 years ago. Some people might find Baroni’s personality entertaining, but the guy wouldn’t even make Anderson Silva break a sweat, much less beat up-and-comers like Kendall Grove. He’s always struck me as a guy better suited to professional wrestling than professional fighting.

Good one “Mr. NC-17″. I would love to see Baroni back in the UFC, he would not a contender right away, but I would like to see him come back and fight guys like Cote, Scott Smith, Quarry, Jason MacDonald and Lutter to move up the middleweight rankings of the UFC.

Baroni’s talking out of his ass. I know Dana doesn’t want it but I think Shamrock is going to take this one. I would love to see both these guys in the UFC. Never would happen

PETE SELL[/quote]

Damn.. Pete Sell handed Baroni to himself..That was a great fight..
Pete Sell: If i beat him(Baroni), i”m the man.
If he beats me, so What!.

Damn that was cool. And Pete Tapped Baroni that night, with a good fight before that too…

Baroni is a BUM! Plain and simple B-U-M!
He’s the kind of person that makes MMA fighters and their fans look like street thugs and hooligans!
He’s fighting in clubs with other fighters, he walks around like hes the champion of the world and he constantly says stupid crap like this before he thinks!
He would get crushed by Silva, Franklin, Okami, Tanner ETC.
This guy is a one trick pony and its time for this pony to be put down!
I hope Shamrock beats him into retirement because it would be good for MMA fighters and Fans to have this clown out of the game!!!

the dude hits like a hammer..thats about it..if you can wether the storm in the first 3 minutes of the first round, surely Baroni will gas and the fight is over…Im sure Baroni has been getting better technically since leaving, but he hasnt really shown it..just his heavy hands are why he wins..looking at the Evan Tanner fights, if he couldnt handle evans ground and pound, he cant handle okami..if he cant handle evans bicycle knees, Silva would eat him alive..Marquet would gnp, rich would outbox…

Baroni has knocked out some tough guys, if his sprawl has gotten any better, I would say he stands a “punchers chance” against any of the top guys in the division. He isn’t as technical of a striker as Chuck Liddel is, but Chuck is the perfect example of Punchers going a long way. I give this particular fight to Baroni by knockout midway through the second round, maybe 2 minutes in.

Big words from a UFC reject.
He lost four in a row before the UFC sent him on his way.
When was the last he fought and beat anyone good.

Just another weak attempt to promote his fight.

Baronio who?

Cote, Smith, Quarry, Lutter = TUF Rejects (except for Quarry who still has some hope)
McDonald is a tough son of a gun and I think he would beat Phil Baroni.

Sure he hits like a truck, but before he bashes the division he failed in, he should think of
PETE SELL.

Don’t make it seem like I am not giving Pete Sell credit neither, because he won fair and square but Phil Baroni lost to Pete Sell.. a unknown fighter.
Yes it was a good fight.

But Pete Sell?

They should of called The Shamrock/Baroni fight
:Battle of The Assholes:

I hope Baroni beats Frank..I don’t like really either one’s personna..it’s one of those go with the lesser of 2evils thing..

I agree with MoreThanUFC..Baroni/Okami would be good match up.

Yeah sure bring back Baroni…so he can be the jobber that he is. All so no go!
If Phil Baroni comes back to the UFC he should change his name to the Brooklyn Brawler!!!

Agree, agree, and agree. I’d like to think that if Phil gets another shot at the UFC, he works his ASS off beforehand to fix those gaps in his game.

Baroni says some funny shit now and then, but what I usually like about MMA guys is that they seem cool and down to earth (Matt Serra, GSP, Forrest Griffin). Baroni seems like a meathead prick. And Anderson Silva would fucking destroy him.

I would much rather see him fight Franklin, two punchers…

I think that it is completely pointless to talk about who we would like to see Baroni fight in the UFC. The article says that it is possible he would return to the octagon with a ‘decisive win.’ Personally, I think he has no chance, except for a slim punchers chance (and wild at that) against Frank Shamrock. Now Frank is who I’d rather see in the UFC. But of course that’ll never happen because of good old Dana.

Franklin vs Baroni..Rich is like 2levels above him..Baroni not being able to deal with Tanner, I don’t see him dealing with what Franklin brings to the octagon..hey but I wouldn’t mind seeing that fight.

Frank Shamrock is a goon…he “retired” because he had no one to fight in the ufc, which doesnt make sense since Bas turned over his heavyweight belt so he could drop down and fight Frank…hes not fighting in the ufc now becuase he lacks the skills to compete with the best 185s and doesnt want to tarnish his self eclaimed “legacy”…plus hes a goon

I’ll Second that!!

Later
Chris Valentine

I just read the transcript to the phone call…. all Baroni did was talk shit. Hahahahahah.
Like most of you guys, I dont see Baroni hanging with Franklin, Okami, or Silva… but he does have a puncher’s chance…

Baroni’s fights are fast and he wins… or more then 1min. he loses…

[quote comment="75772"]Ohhh Baroni would get punked by Rich, nevermind Andeson Silva![/quote]

He might get into deep water with Franklin but I would pay to see that fight!

I have always had a dream fight with Robbie Lawler vs. Phil Baroni. Someone would leave on a stretcher.

Even if Baroni pulls this off Dana would pay him but I don’t think he would bring him over. Talks alot of shit and he’s exciting to see but 185 is starting to get deeper and Baroni’s time is passing him up. Shamrock would be much better to bring over, especially since he left undefeated. Thats a dream he would never come over

Baroni salts my grill.

Baroni dominated that whole fight but just got caught in a guillotine and i dont think the choke was set in he was exhausted as well.

that was the worst comment ever made on ufcmania.com “nevermind anderson silva” i honestly think silva is one of the top 3 pound for pound fighter n the ufc. and he would destroy rich agian and anybody else that you put in front of him in the middlewieght division. and i think rich should be demoted to the WEC because he hasnt shown any improvemnet since his beat down delieverd by the spida.

So let me get this straight, basically, what your saying, is Rich, arguably the best with Silva, and we can all agree at least second best right now, hsould go to WEC? So should everyone below him then right? Wow, that leaves Silva all by himself in the UFC. Great competition.
Now being real, Rich will put up a much better fitgh next time, not saying he will win or loose, but it will be a fight, which is more than he can say last time.
Last but not least, I think the person with the original quote thre is saying Baroni couldnt even beat Rich, let alone Silva, which is a complement, not an insult to Silva.

What a BIG LOSER!

You two are saying the same thing here Jimmy. He means nevermind like forget about it, Baroni is bologna. Except the demotion of Rich of course which I can’t agree with either. One lose and boot him? Harsh

One thing I would like to see if Baroni returns to the UFC

Baroni vs. Burkman since they have some issues to sort out. And really Baroni has a lot of nerve to be talking so much smack considering he was downed by a replacement!

I hate Frank Shamrock more than Baroni, but seriously he probably won’t beat Frank. And right now he isn’t even close to being a top 10 middleweight on anyone’s list. I’m willing to bet even Chris Leben can get the better of him on any given night.

Sadly, Baroni is delusional, and he still thinks he’s a better fighter than Evan Tanner and Matt Lindland. Maybe he should just fight Fedor in a Bodog event and the cyborg will just bury his ass in the desert.

Frank Shamrock is trash talking the UFC and Dana, so Dana offers to double Baroni’s purse, if he can knock him out. Baroni now trashes the UFC division and in two other interviews with him he claimed, that he’d get an immediate titleshot in the UFC, if he’d switch. I think somehow Dana’s deal with Baroni backfired here a little bit.

Ok, so you are bashing the kid and saying he made a dumb comment, but yet you are saying Rich should be demoted to WEC because he has not shown any improvement since his “beat down” via Anderson Silva.

RICH FRANKLIN HAS HAD ONLY 1 FIGHT SINCE THE SILVA MATCH. AND HE STOPPED JASON MCDONALD ON A HOT STREAK IN THE 2ND ROUND!

So what you just said that was completely ridiculous.

Ok i see everyone is leaning away from frank shamrock. phil baroni shouldnt even be the main subject on this page due to the fact that after he loses which he will everyone will forget about him again. Talk about a guy who runs his mouth and cant even back it up. Unlike frank shamrock who can. First round win for shamrock. As for baroni he can go to a bar and pick a fight and might actually win.

Shamrock will dominate Baroni in the later rounds…let him punch himself out…and show what a real smart and technical fighter Shamrock is. Baroni is gonna gas and get submitted or perhaps tko’d in round 2 or 3. My prediction.

Macdonald isn’t even in the same league as Silva. Macdonald isn’t in the top 10 of his weight class in the world something Frankin and Silva are both guaranteed to be on. There are at least 4 guys in the UFC that can hand Macdonald his ass on any given night: Frankin, Silva, Okami, and now Henderson if he continues to fight both weight classes.

Baroni? don’t even go there. I wanna see Leben cut weight and kick his ass.

This pathetic guy lost to Even Tanner twice then to a then unknown Pete Drago Sell. His contract ended and he cried like a baby and was going to retire. Then Mark Colemen saved him and took him to pride where he knocked out B-Level Japanese fighters or Has-Been washed up fighters and he thought he was still the Best. Man there’s a reason why he never got to Rich Franklin and look he just got KO’D by SHAMROCK!

I mean c’mon man i bet PETE SELL would beat him in a rematch.
Dave Terrell would beat him even scott smith. And Kendal Grove.

SILVA is on a whole different level that Baroni can not even step too.
