Midnight Mania! Pat Barry blames Sean Strickland for Rose Namajunas’ ‘emotional’ UFC 274 general performance, Strickland responds

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Rose Namajunas’ general performance previous weekend (Sat. May possibly 7, 2022) at UFC 274 was baffling. Seemingly ready to defend her opponent’s takedowns and top regulate without the need of a great deal work, “Thug Rose” nonetheless refused to permit her offense fly and misplaced a break up-final decision to Carla Esparza as a consequence.

Who’s to blame? Some pointed to the corner of Pat Barry and Trevor Wittman, who seemed to give Namajunas conflicting messages and told the former champion that she was profitable. Barry responded to these claims on The MMA Hour, pointing to a slippery canvas as holding Namajunas’ up.

Barry also tackled another difficulty: the origin of his connection with Namajunas. Not long ago, outspoken Middleweight contender Sean Strickland accused Barry of grooming Namajunas, and the previous kickboxer wished to set the document straight about when they began courting. He also laid some of the blame for UFC 274 at Strickland’s toes!

“This whole Sean Strickland matter that is all in excess of the put all over the place,” Barry reported (through BJPenn.com). “Years ago, Rose did an job interview and said ‘I joined Rufussport when I was 14 many years ago, and then I remaining Rufussport for a couple a long time. Then I came back to Rufussport, to go after my MMA career, and that’s where I satisfied my fiancee Pat Barry’. When the male wrote the job interview up, he wrote ‘Rose Namajunas joined Rufussport when she was 14 many years outdated where by she met her fiance Pat Barry, when she was 14 years old’.

Pat Barry ongoing, “That’s wherever absolutely everyone is having this s—t from, a botched interview. Which is wherever absolutely everyone is receiving all that from mainly because an individual made the decision to generate it that way. It must’ve appeared credible and they just operate with it. It’s those people sorts of items just about everywhere that lead to Rose to get into the battle with Carla, and be emotional.”

Never one to stay peaceful, it didn’t take Strickland very long to react to the higher than quotation. Unsurprisingly, Strickland did not recant, as a substitute doubling down on his former accusations.
