If Barnett was french, he would be French Fryed. Get it? Shut up. Just plain shut up. The rundown: Barnett needs health or some sort of KO resistence, cause he should have been still alive in this fight with the damage he took, but he was dead. Then submitted. Sub D might be nice too, since I think he was submitted last time out as well. Brutal. Frye needs to keep concentrating on winning fights. It suits him better than losing, cause when he loses he calls me up at home at all hours of the night in tears. I just can't take it anymore.
