The telegraphed front-side kick fake to shot from 12 feet away that took down such formidable foes as jimmerson, itchithara, and the black dragon, would be met with a barrage of fists similiar to the menne fight at ufc 39 from Phil, who would likely be 230 pounds of muscle.
Even though Phil wasn't in UFC 1 I still have a membership at golds with unlimited tanning and when I'm done getting pumped up with my bench routine I take off my shirt and do three rounds on one of the free standing wave bags they have in the cardio kickboxing room.
THE BODY BAG - Even though Phil wasn't in UFC 1 I still have a membership at golds with unlimited tanning and when I'm done getting pumped up with my bench routine I take off my shirt and do three rounds on one of the free standing wave bags they have in the cardio kickboxing room.
You and me both, bro.
Phil would have smashed everyone out in under 3 minutes.....total time. He'd come in looking like Mr. Utah and come out swing like Tyson and a star would be born and the Gracies would still be garage training.
Luncha Libre - I feel like Phil would have been the posterboy for UFC with his good looks and used to promote it put in as a superfight champion.
The UFC still needs a posterboy like this. GSP is great, but he talks like he's got a mouth full of peanut butter and I hate to say it, but Jon Jones may be the most creative fighter since Saku and the most talented since Ando and the viewing public is giving him the Lennox Lewis cold shoulder because he's a decent and thoughtful man instead of a loudmouth jerk.
Bobby Lupo - ...you'd be lifting at Gold's and tanning at Hollywood Tans and traneing Brooklyn Brawling instead of paying $200 a month to stick your head in a Brazilian's taint.....Fact-o.
Baroni would have Menne'd the whole field of UFC 1. Don't come at me with Ken Shamrock either. Baroni was a college wrester and Ken's pro wrestling would be no match for what Baroni would be bringing.
Not that Phil would juice, but in UFC 1 there was no testing.
MMA would be a very different sport if the best eva version of Phil Baroni was in UFC 1
Not for nothing, but look at the all star team of the UG that supports Bobby Loopz threads including Golden Boy and Kirik and look at my detractors: a bunch of jabronis
Think about where MMA would be today if the early UFCs would have had that superstar standout showman to bring in worldwide attention and dollars. The only thing the early UFC events lacked was the personalities both in and out of the ring (no offense to Jim Brown and his hat).
