He was still breathing hard as hell in the interview. Very bad IMO.

I think he was trying to end it with one shot instead of setting things up, a win is a win but he can perform much better than that.

The lack of cardio is unacceptable by both fighters. Thought Barnett looked fat as well.

Barnett has always looked a little chubby from what I remember, Ubereem may have too much muscle mass.

He has way too much muscle mass. Look at Carwin he lost mass so he could have cardio.

Brock is an exception though.

Thank god I didn't watch that fight last night.

Barnett has never been super lean or anything but I think he could/should definitely get a bit more fit.

Barnett and the cat that fought Noons are the only two that really impressed me last night.

Masvidal looked awesome against Noons and Noons showed some heart.

Agreed, wish that was a 5 rounder, Noons was too aggressive and left himself open for counters, a couple of really good 155er's though.

I think they should find a way to get him on the card, paying homage to one of the pioneers of the sport making mma what it is today.

I think they should not put a washed up fighter on a card. He's done, just like Ken.
