Standing at 5'11", Pat Barry is certainly not the biggest heavyweight in the UFC, but with his 5 wins all coming by way of knockout... that certainly counts for something, and definitely equals power.

Mike: First off man, congrats on the win over Hardonk... could you give us your thoughts on the fight?
Pat: My thoughts are, that it was the greatest fight of my life!

Mike: Knockout and Fight of the night bonus… how did that feel to find out you won both!
Pat: Man, I still can’t believe I won them both. And the best part is, is that if I did it once… maybe I can do it again!

Mike: I heard there was a little trouble at the bank, trying to deposit the 120k?
Pat: (laughs) I definitely didn't look like I should be making a deposit that big... black eye, gym shorts… also the check was to Pat, and my license says Patrick.

Mike: So what's next for you? Anytime frame on when you wanna fight next?
Pat: I broke my thumb and had to get two pins placed in my hand... so as of now, I'm not too sure when I'll be back yet.

Mike: Is there anyone in particular you'd like to face?
Pat: I’d like to face anybody that the world holds high as a deadly striker.

Mike: Lesnar vs Carwin has been postponed... but when it happens, who do you think will win?
Pat: I'm really not sure on that one. Ya know, I believe anybody has a punchers chance... but Lesnar is a monster!

Mike: So, is it true you might do the "Techno Viking" intro, on your next PPV main card bout?
Pat: Hmm, Can't make any promises on that (laughs).

Mike: What do you remember first about your first MMA fight?
Pat: It was the most nervous I have ever been for a fight.

Mike: If you were not a fighter, what do you think you would be?
Pat: I would probably be a teacher of some kind.

Mike: Who has the hardest leg kicks in the sport?
Pat: I do!!! I do!!!

Mike: What would you say is the hardest shot you ever landed on someone?
Pat: I kicked Garry Goodridge’s eyebrow off once, I have kicked the memory out of a guys head, oh and I also threw a high kick at a guy and missed... but it was so hard he backed up and got out of the ring!

Mike: And what's the hardest you have taken?
Pat: I did get hit so hard once, I could taste iron.

Mike: If they made a movie about your life... who would you want to play Pat Barry?
Pat: Donatello from The Ninja Turtles!!!!!!

Mike: Thanks for your time, look forward to seeing you back fighting soon!
Pat: Thank You!
