Bring the poise: Pat Barry ready to show the world the 'tremendous growth' in his ground game

Down may no longer be out for heavyweight striker Pat Barry. Photo via UFC.com.

Stocky and cocky kickboxer Pat Barry, aside from being a fan favorite, is also one of the most dangerous strikers competing today under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) banner.

So how do you explain his current two-fight losing streak and 3-4 record as a Zuffa employee?

Well, French miracles not withstanding, "HD" entered mixed martial arts (MMA) with nothing but a penchant for knocking dudes out. The ground game? Virtually non-existent, which is why he was submitted by Mirko Filipovic at UFC 115 with one of the ugliest chokes in the history of cage fighting.

The good news is that Barry has tried to repair the gaping hole in his defense by climbing the beanstalk and getting his feet wet in the land of DeathClutch giants out in Minnesota. And as "Get Hype" tells MMA Weekly, it's exactly what he needed.

"Everybody knows it, it's not a secret. Wrestling and jiu-jitsu and strength are my weakness when it comes to fighting. Punching and kicking can always get better, but it's the wrestling and grappling and what not, that's my Achilles heel. [DeathClutch] is a gym that's filled with gigantic wrestlers who all grapple, Comprido is the jiu-jitsu coach. They're all stronger than I am, they're all taller than I am, which is everyone I fight. I'm the smallest guy in the room. This is what I need to be surrounded by. The world doesn't know it yet, but [I've gained] a tremendous amount of growth in my wrestling and my jiu-jitsu and my poise while being on my back. Strength, just all around confidence, tremendous amounts. The only problem is that with all that growth and with all that gain, you now have to actually do it live. You can mimic it in practice all you want, but until you start actually doing it live, that's where the real experience comes from."

Hear more from Barry, including his thoughts on division number one contender and fellow striker extraordinaire, Alistair Overeem, after the jump.

Star-divide

Barry will get a chance to put his money where his mouth is against Christian Morecraft tomorrow night (Jan. 20) on the main card of the UFC on FX event, emanating from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Anyone expecting "HD" 2.0? Or just the same-old, same-old?

Thats great news

I hope its true. Barry is already a force, but with a ground game, he could be ruthless. I am looking forward to seeing how much he has actually improved his gg

He's not really a force.

Let’s be real mate.

He’s dangerous if guys stand in front of him and let him hit them. Even then he has shown a tendency to not finish.

He has thunderous kicks and vicious power in both hands.

Id say that makes him dangerous in itself. But what do i know, im just a sucker for kickboxers. Always have been. Im anxious to see how his ground game has improved…

stand up can mean very little when your grappling is as bad as his is.

Do you know how many strikes Tim Hague landed before he got the sub on Barry? None, that’s right, none, he had one TD and got the RNC for the win, didn’t even throw any strikes on the ground to set it up.

His striking isn't that spectacular mate.

He’s great on the feet but walking straight at your opponent with your hands down sort of means that you’re not exquisite.

Taking nothing away from Pat because he’s a gamer but the term “force” is used to refer to fighters who can shake up a division and possibly crack top 10.

He’s too far behind in his grappling to be a force imo.

but walking at your dazed opponent with your hands down doesnt say hes not an elite striker. That is just a mistake he made but we’ll most likely never see him make again though…

if his striking was that elite

he would have a better record than 6-4, he hasn’t even fought a legit grappler yet. The UFC has been holding his hand for more than 3 years now, and he still hasn’t improved. Not to mention the fact that he is already 32, it’s not happening, maybe if he laid off the twinkies and dropped down to 205 he could do a bit better for himself.

Itd be cool to see him at 205

but his only advantage at HW, his speed, will be lost at 205 and everyone will still be bigger than him

Oh cmon

Its ok to not like someone but blind hate is a different story. The guy is legit and fights anyone at anytime. He has only lost one fight by ko… which was a fluke really. He made a mistake and paid for it. The others are from subs… if he can avoid the sub, which is what he is focusing on, then he should be a dominator. He kicks everyones ass on this feet that he has fought.

and just to clear it up

there is no hate, I don’t think I said he sucks or anything, he just hasn’t evolved in 3 years, he wins(sometimes) against guys that stand right in from of him, he gets subbed by guys that get him to the ground, and when he has fighters in trouble he hasn’t capitalized.

If barry had that killer instinct and had brutally finished those he had in trouble early on, his record wouldnt be so blemished. It is possible to develop a killer instinct..

Killer Instincts come from within. Its Like Lebron if he had that killer instinct he would not have quit during game 5 but he did.

He was not like MJ or Kobe who have that killer instinct that make them want to win the game. Barry is the same. except he is all happy go lucky skip to my lou my darling Pat Barry and if he hits you he just stands back and asks can you see ok??

You sure are confused today lol.

Bana was Hector, one of the greatest warriors who ever lived.

He is the one that went out and fought Achilles(although in Homer’s story, he ran around Troy 3 times I blieve, before he was decieved by Athena).

Paris(orlando loom) is the one who refused to fight and shot Achilles in his heel.

Paris was the biggest man

Figured out how to beat his opponent without taking damage.

It’d be like Frank Mir standing with Junior.

Instead he just cup Cheick’d him.

What potential?

He’s a decent fighter.

He also got choked out by Murko, so that invalidates anything he ever does.

He could win the UFC HW Championship and he will still be the guy who got choked out by Muuuurko.

In his interview during open workouts he said he was going to punch and kick every fight and not change. And now he is saying this. I hope it means he’ll just use what he’s learned to keep it standing. Good luck Barry

Barry actually has the body type to be a killer in the HW division

He’s short and compact (no homo)…but if he worked heavily on his wrassling it would be harder to take him down…if he decided to work on his offensive wrassling that could be a dangerous tool for him…plus he’s got mean kicks

honestly there’s not a whole lot lesnar will teach Berry because lesnar has relied on pure athleticism his whole life. if u really look at lesnars wrestling from a fundamental standpoint he’s really not that good. just overpowers ppl. berry should b working with somebody like hughes or Phil Davis or someone with real good fundamentals

I don't know how much TDD he can learn from lesnar

he would certainly gain knowledge in his TD attempts and top control, but that’s about it. He should be training with Bisping or Aldo to learn TDD
