On the Sherdog Radio Network’s Savage Dog Show, Ben Rothwell called Patrick Barry’s bout against Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic on Saturday at UFC 115 a “passing of the torch.” Barry had helped Rothwell prepare for a fight against Cro Cop last year that was canceled. Rothwell said his own approach would have been different from what Barry is going to do: “The way Pat’s going to beat Cro Cop is at what Cro Cop does. I wasn’t going to go in there and throw left kicks at Cro Cop and try to beat him that way. Pat Barry can do that.”
