Phil Baroni to fight at UFC 118
by Jeff Jones on May 18, 2010

Phil Baroni's five year hiatus from the UFC ended this past November with a unanimous decision loss to Amir Sadollah at UFC 106. Apparently, Baroni (13-12) has verbally agreed to fight on the UFC 118 card at the TD Garden in Boston. An opponent has yet to be determined.

"The New York Badass" holds notable Octagon wins over Curtis Stout and Dave Menne. After that, Baroni suffered a four-fight losing streak against Matt Lindland, Evan Tanner (twice) and Pete Sell.

The streak led to his subsequent release from the promotion in February of 2005. Since then, Baroni has competed for multiple organizations such as PRIDE, Strikeforce and EliteXC.

Baroni has recently been training at American Kickboxing Academy and over the past couple of years has rededicated himself to better nutrition and conditioning. He has stated his desire recently to step back up in weight to compete in the middleweight division.

There will be about 1000 people in the crowd that could kick Baroni's ass, and I'm not even remotely joking. throwingshoes: ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa Wandering_Minstrel: He wants to move back up to MW? Is he fucking insane? He has a much better chance (and that ain't saying much) at WW. AKA is a good camp, but Baroni sucks. JujitsWho: Nobody told me I was fighting! WOOHOO mike5k: The New York Bad Ass! One of my favorite D_V quotes ever was to some UFC nuthugger. D_V said something like, "Just because you're in the UFC doesn't make you good, they currently employ Baroni, pal." I like Phil though, he's usually entertaining until he needs oxygen and a Red Bull early in the 2nd round. He took an epic beating from Sadollah. He's the best eva! Mickey knox: My question is, who in the UFC can today's Baroni beat? Take your time, I know it's a tough one.:D Legend of Lee Murray: Baroni is entertaining like TNA entertaining he should be with the rest of em' Angle, Lashley and Lesnar if you ask me...WAR CARWIN!!!!!!!!!!! throwingshoes: sleeveless ric flair rhinestone robes FTW Masternate: baroni sucks. these are the type of guys that are a waste of pay and that the ufc should just never sign.
