This is going to be an interesting matchup, I've heard Baroni calling Frank out for days now and knew they've wanted to fight for awhile now. Saw a banner on here of all places for it.

Baroni's trash talking is hilarious he's so over the top with how good he think's he is, reality is if he trained a lot harder he would probably be close to unstoppable. His Cardio is crap, dude is pretty lazy but he is tough as sh!t, and really besides his 2 losses to Lindlind & 2 losses to Tanner who are both really great fighters, he has been solid. Frank is pretty damn tough so I'm wondering if Baroni is actually training seriously for once. This should be a good fight. And I'm actually going with Baroni, Shamrock doesn't fight enough any more and Baroni might actually be prepared to battle.

when Baroni wins he seems to KO fools within the first minute or 2, His losses are all decisions except for one submission and one TKO. I don't think he can KO Shamrock though. I won't buy this PPV just for this match though.

I don't like Baroni very much (his personality), but he'll win.

Come on, Sakuraba knocked out Shamrock! :p

Edit: Oh snap, wrong Shamrock.

I saw Baroni a few years back when they fought at Atlantic city. He's super cocky and arrogant and his family was amazingly and insanely annoying. They're just like him- NY/north Jersey street trash.

Sakuraba knocked out Shamrock? wth?

It was Ken Shamrock that fought Sakuraba and the ref stopped the fight WAY too early when Ken faced the other way and covered up. Baroni is fighting Frank Shamrock.

Baroni is a perfect example of the stereotype of Italians a lot of us Americans have. Loud, annoying, cusses a lot + has an ego big enough for 3 people. Watching him get interviewed I'm almost sure he's putting on a show, but that's him. He's a real life "Guido" no disrespect to any Italians on here. As I don't group all Italians into the Soprano category, some of them just fit the role, Baroni being one of them. I don't like him at all, but when he fights he's a tough dude and hits hard. Shamrock is cocky too, not nearly as bad but he acts like he's the God of MMA when he almost never even fights.


As for the person who brought up Saku, that dude is vicious he has beaten some of the best out there.

Baroni = owned. All that taunting must have pissed Baroni off haha. Too bad he couldn't do anything about it.
