Why Im moving to Welter Weight

[fitch]

Brutal KO.

Nice win Phil.

When Frank interviewed you after Villansenor loss he adivsed you take people down and beat the shit out of them, then stand them up and knock them out. Ironically this is how the fight kindof went.

Was that the game plan?

Good on you mate. Best of luck.

Phil how much did you weigh on the cage rage fight night? You looked huge man, definitely not 170. My guess would be around 175-177. I was never a real fan of yours at 185, but when I heard that you were moving to ww I was pretty fucking stoked and always felt that you should compete at ww. Always respected that vicious right hand of yours! I was wondering about your KO power at WW in this thread, but I don't want to go back and find my post on that. You still got that one punch KO power and would love to see you do well at ww. I kind of hate you for not moving down to WW when you were in the UFC because you would be a fucking great addition to that division then and now.

I'm glad you got the win and also that you have showed a lot of maturity recently. Good luck with the marraige and try to get in there with Nick Thompson or Jake Shields soon. I think those would be great fights.

This is what I feel at this point in my career I need to do. Im feel Im a better fighter than Ive shown in the ring esp as of late.





As far as the move to Welter Weight goes I feel great. Im more athletic. Im in much better condition, my hand speed is back, an I would go as far as to say Im alot quicker than I was at my previous best.





I feel just as strong physicaly if not stronger do to much greater flexability.






Im not going to make any predictions or promises. Ive been very humbled as of late. Ive been handed a real wake up call.







Im going to give it my all 100% and do my best. Its Do or Die for me. Im All In! I love to fight. Im a real fighter, an like I said the day I dont think I can be a World Champion is the day Ill retire.




Im not done yet, I have alot of fight left inside me. I have alot to prove to myself an alot of people to prove wrong.










NEVER SAY DIE !!!










NYBA

I was not a big fan of your attitude, but now that you´ve changed, you have my support.

Best of luck!

[CANADIANFIGHTCLUB]

Go for it PHIL!!!

You have a ton of heart.

[Bonzai]

The only reason I'll ever support teh NYBA is cause he mingles with the common folk on sherdog. Hell, I don't even like NY but...

WAR NYBA!!!

[Who's Next]

Way to go Baroni. Excited to see you KO Jake Shields

[GetYaShinebox]

2-0 at WW. The 2 punches he's connected with sent his opponents down.

NYBA has power, SCARY power.
