Just a couple of days removed from his UFC leave<\/a>, Pat Barry announced today that he has inked a deal with the Glory kickboxing promotion.<\/p>\n

During his time with the UFC Barry went 5-7 and after dropping two straight, he told the world that he’s just tired of wrestling guys and wants to get back to his roots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glory is the world’s leading kickboxing promotion and has built up a world-class roster while obtaining a lucrative Spike TV deal.<\/p>\n

Barry spoke to ‘The MMA Hour<\/a>‘ yesterday about the shift in sport:<\/p>\n

“I’m walking away from MMA for now. It said I was retiring from MMA and people assumed that I was done with fighting forever and that was going to be the end of it. But, it’s not, that’s not what happened. I’m just taking a break, taking a timeout from MMA. Just stepping away from it, man. My last few fights, something was missing. Something wasn’t there, was a bit of love and attraction to wrestling and grappling to having to defend take-downs. Which is fine, that’s part of the sport and that’s what I signed up for, but my last two outings that I had, anytime you lose a fight and get up and say, ‘I lost, oh well, so what.’ It wasn’t so much, ‘so what,’ something wasn’t there.”
\n<\/em>
\n“Wrestling, doing jiu-jitsu for the sake of doing jiu-jitsu, that’s great, especially with a gi on, I enjoy it, it’s great exercise, everything. But when it comes to being in a fight, no thank you. I want to stand and hit each other and let’s see who has the biggest nuts in the ring.”
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Pat Barry started off his combat sports career as a kick boxer. He obtained multiple world titles in Wushu, Kung Fu, Sanshou and kickboxing before getting picked up by K-1 in 2005 where he saw moderate success, making the semi-finals of the K-1 World Grand Prix in 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
