This obviously isn’t the first time that Rock and others have hyped him up. First I remember was before the Crocop fight and we all know how that ended.
Oh I’m sorry. I guess that short attention span of yours would explain all these horrible fighters you’re supporting. Must be nice to forget that they suck. At least you’re right about Evans. Good job on that.
Pat Barry’s awesome, I think he’s kinda like Sexyama in the sense that we all WANT them to win lol. Whether or not they actually win, well…
Hey if Fedor fans can do that, so can we. Barry/Sexyama have more personality in their fingernails than Fedor has had in his entire life. So hell yeah we’re gonna root for them, even though they’re not necessarily the best fighters.
i don’t want barry to win. he’s alright. but i could care less if he was in the ufc or not
They’re also alike in that they have no talent. Hurray for mediocrity!
Pat is out to PROVE YOU WRONG!

Yeah, I really support people randomly :rolleyes:
soooo we’re gonna pretend the nigga didnt destroy that mexican oppoent purely on leg kicks. as well as dan evensaen. as well as crocop didnt really defeat him, dude had a broken foot and hand…no way to defend a submission. only true losses imo were cheik and tim hague
Shhh, stop responding to the shitty RockB spinoff, else he’ll think people are reading his text and keep typing.
I can’t stand Akiyama only because he seems like one of the worst fighters in the UFC but gets more hype and praise than guys like Condit, Bendo, Edgar, Chad Mendes, Erick Silva, etc…
These guys bust thier asses getting better but get shit on all the time while Akiyama fails his way to more money while gassing in the 2nd round. Y’know if he makes it and doesn’t get ktfo in 1.I have no problem with him at all except his lack of improving on his skills and his creepy bisexual fans lol.
I have the same prob with Hardy great guy crap fighter needs to go
uhhh what? that was his first day on the job in the ufc lolol.
edgar doesnt get as much hype cause his personality sucks. no one wants retardo rocky anymore, our heroes gotta have charm and swag. ill agree on the other guys needing more praise buuut the internet following blew him the fuck up…the internet really didnt follow the other guys.
Erick Silva is there because he should have been in the ufc awhile ago he been good for a minute lol. He was champ in brazil before he got bought out but still fuck that internet garbage. Edgar has more heart in his greasy hair than Aki has in his whole ridiculous tan lol. Those peacock feathers Yama wears ain’t swag either btw.
The internet is ruled by stupid teenage hipsters who thought Gayhard Moshashi ( wrong spelling IDC) would destroy Bones. I just wanted to vent that out lol. Once again Akiyama is cool but he sucks as a fighter ( where’s the Judo bitch?). There are so many great middlweight fighters not getting a chance because of guys like Akiyama getting overhyped.
P.S. Why isn’t Moshashi in the UFC my boy Anderson need a new punching bag…
Like homeboy had ever heard of Erick Silva before UFC Rio. 
He’s totally a hardcore fan doodz, Erick Silva will be the next WW CHAMP! I KNEW ABOUT IT BEFORE ANY OF YOU DID!!
If anything Crocop exposed him. Didn’t he get those injuries during the fight? Can you really make an excuse for him considering he went into that fight perfectly healthy? Everything else you said spells out that Barry is just an overhyped fighter who was only able to make jobber status in the heavyweight division.
Is it because a fresh pair of eyes makes you all realize what fanboys you’re being? I can’t blame you though, all that salt in your eyes must be blinding you. LOL you guys complain about the Sherdog forums but here you are hyping up fighters based on their looks and personality instead of their fighting skills… you know… that thing that makes us want to watch fights in the first place?
do we need to go through a list of fighters who are legends of the sport who broke their shit in mid fight and kept going?..unlike gsp who tore his groin and wanted to tap out mentally against pitbull.
1 out of 4. i do hate children.
rockb calling someone a hater? c’mon, son.
Edgar gets no love from the fans? Maybe from the TUF fans and JUST BLEEEEEEEEED dudes but you won’t see anyone dissin Edgar or Condit or Bendo around here. Chad Mendes is fucking boring lol, and wtf is TEAM Alpha Male anyway? You can’t have a TEAM of alpha males, ridiculous. Erick Silva got some skills, but he was a champ in the minor leagues, bruh. And don’t even try to argue. We’ll all be keepin an eye on him, no hatin here but let’s not pretend that he’s made it just yet.
Barry and Akiyama are just fun to root for, we’re not propping them up as some godlike title contenders. If we were only fans of the top title contenders, what would we be like in other sports? Everyone would just root for the Lakers and the Red Wings and Yankees and shit.
Not really the argument I’m tryna make but feel free to make a list if it makes you feel better. At least GSP still won those fights even after he got torn up and poked. If anything Crocop and Kongo got mad respect from me for getting beaten down early on only to come back.
The least you guys can do is root for the people who TRY to improve. So far akiyama is only trying to take the easy way out. Weight-cutting and being GSP’s towelboy isn’t gonna get you very far considering the reason you’re losing is because your cardio is ass and your skills are non-existent. The fact that he’s getting paid more than 20g a fight is laughable.
