UFC fighter was eating ketchup and rice before UFC 104 (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/UFC-fighter-was-eating-ketchup-and-rice-before-U?urn=mma,199656)

The heavyweight out of New Orleans, scored Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night for his victory over Antoni Hardonk (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/Barry-makes-his-former-training-partner-quit?urn=mma,197985). That was good enough for $120,000. Good thing, Barry needed the infusion of cash in the worst way. He confirmed to MMAScrapsRadio (http://www.mmascrapsradio.com/) that he was completely down on his luck before the fight, agreeing that he had little to eat in Los Angeles the week of the fight.

"I still had my apartment but if something would've happened and the fight had been canceled, I would've been evicted six days later."
Barry, 30, said he didn't even tell his trainer Duke Roufus for fear that he would think the fighter had the wrong motivation going into the fight. Barry said he didn't ask anyone for money including his mother:

"I could ask someone but then at the same time, how hard are you going to work for something if everytime you get in trouble somebody catches you? I did something to put myself in this position I have to work my way out of it."
Listen to Barry talk about his troubles before the fight:




Barry got his $120,000 bonus check last Tuesday. He couldn't believe it. When he went to deposit the check, his truck wouldn't start. Barry got a jump and hit the bank sporting a black eye and pink striped shorts.

"I go to the bank, I'm sweaty, I've got the black eye, I haven't shaven in two days, I'm strung out because I haven't slept, I have green circles under my eyes so I'm like 'Can I have a deposit slip mam?'. She gives it to me, I fill it out hand it to her. She looks at the deposit slip, then the check, then looks at me and says 'Excuse me I'll be right back.' Then a manager comes out, a guy in a suit and says 'What seems to be the problem?' I was like 'Well I have a black eye, that's the only problem I know this looks really ridiculous.' So he asks me for my ID, I hand him my license an he's like 'Your license says Pat Barry, but this check was written to Patrick Barry.' So I decided to be funny and tell him Pat Barry is in my trunk right now. He didnt laugh. So I told him take your time man do whatever you need to do because I have no where to go and my truck probably wont start when I go outside so you can just do whatever you need to do. An hour later he came back and everything was fine, the check was in my bank account."

Het verhaal zou het zomaar uit een Hollywood-script kunnen komen ;) Het is hem in ieder geval gegund.

Dan vecht je hard inderdaad. Dan heb je de kracht om in de tweede ronde zo terug te komen zoals hij heeft gedaan. Drijfveer moet je hebben inderdaad.

Ik heb trouwens nog niets gehoord over Hardonk en een wel of niet vervolg in de UFC. Iemand anders wel?
