UFC 115 Match-Up Switcharoo: Cro Cop vs Pat Barry, Ben Rothwell vs Gilbert Yvel
UFC 115 was expected to feature two heavyweight battles in the form of Mirko Cro Cop vs. Ben Rothwell and Pat Barry vs. Gilbert Yvel. However, it appears the UFC has decided to shake things up and switch the match-ups around.
Pat Barry so badly wanted to fight Cro Cop at tickets.com/Sports/Ultimate-Fighting-Championship-Tickets.html"title="" >UFC 110 he was willing to hop on a plane to Australia on a day’s notice and fight Cro Cop in his jeans. It didn’t work out then because of visa issues, but the UFC apparently took note of Barry’s enthusiasm and offered him the fight for UFC 115.
A battle of former K-1 strikers has been lined up as rising star Pat “HD” Barry will face former Pride Grand Prix champion Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic on the main card of the Vancouver show.
Sources close to the fight on Friday confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that the bout has been verbally agreed upon. The fight was initially reported by MMA Scraps Radio.
Meanwhile, their former opponents, Rothwell and Yvel, will now face each other on the card instead.
Nice job by Joe Silva if you ask me. He managed to take two pretty solid fights and make them even better.
Coker Says No To Canseco And UFC Cast-Offs
Strikeforce is definitely keeping Herschel Walker around, but thankfully, not to fight Jose Canseco.
“That’s not going to happen,” Coker said. “I know he wants to fight and he trained with Cesar Gracie, but I don’t think he’s training with Cesar anymore.”
Nice, what did that last all of a week? Anyhow, if Canseco was eying Strikeforce as an opportunity to raise funds to help pay off his $320,000 tax debt, it looks like he’ll need to look elsewhere.
Coker also noted that he’s not interested in signing any UFC cast-offs, specifically Mark Coleman and Frank Trigg. They’ll have to look elsewhere too, though for very different reasons than Canseco.
