UFC on FX 1: Barry Shows off Sub Defense, KOs Morecraft

If you’re  down for some giant guys throwing caution to the wind and trading blow for blow then you’re in the right place.

Morecraft, the owner of the worst tattoo in mixed martial arts didn’t want to stand and trade with the former kick boxer looking to expose the biggest hole in the game of the Death Clutch product.

He quickly caught a kick of Barry and placed him on his back on two separate occasions in the early going of the round as Morecraft looked for a nice armbar that he wasn’t able to secure and Barry even showed off some submissions of his own seeking a stand guillotine.

In the final two minutes of the round Barry was on his feet and showed his blistering power off with a huge left hook that dropped him before putting the nail in the coffin quickly with a right hand.

Barry was ecstatic post-fight that he showed improvement in his jiu-jitsu game and impressed the capacity crowd in Nashville, Tennessee but Morecraft wasn’t available to chat due to being transported to a local hospital:

“Very excited right now.  I had that killer instinct tonight.  I had some very accurate punches on the ground. I want to thank everyone and anyone who ever helped me with my jiu-jitsu over the years, especially my current team.  We drill and drill and drill, and it really helped me escape all those submission attempts tonight.  My confidence is always through the roof and want to always put on a great show for everyone.  I haven’t slept a wink all week thinking about this fight. I’m going to leave here, go right to bed and enjoy my first good night’s sleep in a while.”
