From Vegas to Hammond, Indiana. From Australia to Moscow, and then back to Vegas. Here are is the 'Weekend in Violence' playlist from the jam packed MMA weekend of December 14th - 16th, 2012.
1. Dustin Poirier and Pat Barry post-fight interviews and fight highlights from TUF 16. Poirer sunk in the d'arce on Brookins to get back on track to his inevitable title shot at 145. Brookins hurt him early, but the 'The Diamond' ended up taking it with under a minute left in the 1st frame with his 3rd career d'arce choke finisher while employed with the UFC.
Pat Barry, how can you not love this guy? This interview is classic Barry after his KO of Shane del Rosario, which came just 26 seconds into the 2nd Round. Barry took home an extra $40K for this, his first UFC KO of the Night bonus since his outing against Antoni Hardonk back in 2009.
2. Bellator 84 Highlights - this season 7 finale highlight package begins with Louis Taylor's KO from inside Joe Vedepo'...
