BARONY WITHOUT DRUGS IS GARBAGE
in 3-16-2008 at 13:29:59 from 96.246.99.111
Barony’s intro was funny, he’s so full of himself.
in 3-16-2008 at 13:42:19 from 84.13.253.166
wow I like Phill as well, cant belive he lost. he should be in the UFC.
we love you phill!

am i just confused or isn’t elitexc in a cage?……….somebody help me out because I can’t keep track of all these organizations
in 3-16-2008 at 14:03:12 from 66.108.185.155
Everyone knows that Baroni is worthless without his steroids. Even with his steroids, he’ll still get beat down by any fighter worth his salt.

The New York punkass.
in 3-16-2008 at 14:28:41 from 98.203.86.126
baroni looks like a baroni!!! looks like he cant even run 1 mile…. dam hes gassed!!isnt he training now with randy??? im surprised
in 3-16-2008 at 14:43:14 from 72.141.180.236
neither fighter was any good.
in 3-16-2008 at 15:25:31 from 24.182.4.47
tonysnow the org is ICON- the rules are pride rules, notice the soccer kicks and head stomps
in 3-16-2008 at 15:37:40 from 207.180.150.37
I’ll help you, TONYSNOW. Yes, Elite XC does use a cage. However, the name of the promotion responsible for the Baroni-Hose fight is ICON, and they’ve been around for a long time in Hawaii. They’ve ALWAYS used the 4 sided ring with ropes, as well as rules similar to the old PRIDE FC rules, such as stomps, knees to the head of a downed opponent, etc.
in 3-16-2008 at 16:00:07 from 64.222.239.108
Tony Snow, this is ICON Sport.
Baroni is possibly the most overrated fighter ever. Living off HL reel KO’s from 10 years ago doesn’t cut it does it Phil… how about you Tank?
in 3-16-2008 at 16:10:32 from 69.214.60.135
What was this ref doing……oh just let baroni lay on the ground for an hour and have the other guy kick his legs…thats not boring…what happened to standing them up?
Guess Elitexc doesnt do that
in 3-16-2008 at 16:33:14 from 77.196.112.183
omg i love those icon rules ……
in 3-16-2008 at 16:54:57 from 75.155.166.62
I’ve never been a Baroni fan, but give credit to that other guy there. He was being mauled in the 1st round and was taking serious shots including head stomps, but he came back.
Decent fight, nothing spectacular though.
in 3-16-2008 at 17:22:20 from 24.149.157.84
No Roids and Baroni is a spaz punk with no stamina!
New York Roid Ass no more!
Down goes Phil Balogna
in 3-16-2008 at 17:34:54 from 76.183.139.94
worst thing abut talking sht is when yohae o eat your wn words
in 3-16-2008 at 17:49:16 from 99.232.168.208
dam baroni looks like he onyl lasted about 4 minutes! at the end of the first round, hose is almsto outstriking him from the bottom
in 3-16-2008 at 17:51:43 from 24.243.154.220
“am i just confused or isn’t elitexc in a cage?……….somebody help me out because I can’t keep track of all these organization
icon is the hawaii mma organization. i think it was bought by elitexc so they just own it but its still icon, so they fight in the ring and not the cage.
in 3-16-2008 at 17:52:20 from 75.82.63.90
Hey john,i would like to invite you to a free MMA class at ELITE MMA GYM in SOUTHERN CAL.
I see you are a expert in the sport of mma and seem to know why Phil Baroni lost this fight.Im sure you have somthing to say after all the fights you watch from the safty of your home.Have you ever wanted to be a coach?
There must be a ton of fighters that would love to have your expert know how to move them up the ranks.
It must suck to know that you are that guy,the guy that can talk alot of sh!t but is to weak to do anything else.
Keep it up and you will be a top ten INTERNET FIGHTER in no time,PU$$Y.
-R.KEEGAN
in 3-16-2008 at 18:09:07 from 69.120.201.56
Props to hose, phil is a warrior but needs to train full time and not just for fights. he should be a black belt in bjj by now if he was comitted.
in 3-16-2008 at 18:31:23 from 64.59.144.21
sure was nice seeing baroni the cocky dumbass getting his ass beat 
in 3-16-2008 at 18:56:29 from 70.248.222.63
what was with baroni’s intro? pro wrestling anyone?
in 3-16-2008 at 19:01:54 from 63.249.55.22
baroni has never had great endurance, always gasses out after the 2nd round. And no they shouldn’t let him back in the ufc he lost his last 4 ufc fights
in 3-16-2008 at 19:06:09 from 63.249.55.22
elite xc, icon, strikeforce, and a few other organizations have joined together
in 3-16-2008 at 19:59:41 from 67.49.190.101
To the person asking if this was supposed to be in a cage, it isn’t elitexc it’s icon sport. Also everyone is talking about how crappy Baroni was but what about how great Kala Kalohe was. Hawaii boys can bang so give them some credit.
in 3-16-2008 at 20:36:02 from 72.130.254.16
Shaka to Braddah Kala, Show Dem how we do it in Hawaii!
in 3-16-2008 at 20:38:33 from 72.205.195.13
I thought that NYBA looked pretty good in the first round, and the second wasn’t lookin’ soooo bad. Then he gassed. Then he got smashed. Then smashed BAD. Shoulda stopped it in the middle of the fourth with all those soccer kicks and stomps.
Kala Kalohe Hose looked impressive regardless.
in 3-16-2008 at 21:20:53 from 71.59.67.62
tonysnow- this was icon- not elite xc
and phil always gasses after 1 round
after that he makes a great punching bag
in 3-16-2008 at 22:04:06 from 24.85.130.183
Hose totally deserved that win, he wanted it more no question.
I love Baroni but I’m pretty disappointed at that performance.
in 3-16-2008 at 23:08:28 from 71.201.124.44
Phil is build for 3 rounds, not 5 roungs. If it is 3 rounds, he would have won with the point system, because he got the first 2 rounds. I guess he didn’t pace himself for 5 rounds and got totally burn out. Plus, if you look at phils physic, you can see he juice up. That’s probably why he burn out so fast without roids.
in 3-16-2008 at 23:27:22 from 75.85.147.139
kolohe was a major underdog….. he came out banging and showed he got heart andd determination…. proved that he is a true champ!
in 3-16-2008 at 23:49:36 from 70.48.229.23
baroni sucks.. he always sucked.. and he will continue to suck till he retires
in 3-17-2008 at 00:02:26 from 96.246.99.111
well that was sad
in 3-17-2008 at 01:57:00 from 72.140.75.249
Baroni is a roid addict… just look st him, he doesn’t even have a fighters body…. coleman, randleman, baroni…. the roid crew.
Picking fights in a forum… how manly of you, are you going through some roid rage?… The truth must have hurt eh?…R.KEEGAN
STFU… we are allowed to say what ever we want… so how about you go get a roid shot… and calm down.
TY
in 3-17-2008 at 02:24:02 from 72.140.75.249
HAHAHAHA… after reading your comments I thought I was going to see the PUNKASS dominate… a couple of stomps is all he did… he also took about 4 uppercuts… and it was all down hill from there. Maybe he should start practicing and stop shooting.
Damn those Poly boys have some chin on them.
3rd round: Baroni with a nice left?… the mofo didn’t even swing.. stupid commentators… talk about being biased, even when PUNKASS was getting his ass handed they still wouldn’t admit their boy was being manhandled.
DAMN!… the punkass will be pissing out his roids tomorrow from all those kidney shots.
in 3-17-2008 at 04:56:58 from 70.169.216.163
Phil looked like shit. He’s always been a sloppy brawler and got beat by anyone with a little game, but damn. I do like how the ref let him get thumped on though. UFC refs stop way to quick most of the time.
in 3-17-2008 at 05:16:40 from 75.93.116.133
Anyone that can last the first round can beat Baroni. Kala was just lucky he had better endurance. Robby Lawler would have been a better fight and Kala won’t get lucky.
in 3-17-2008 at 07:35:13 from 76.88.137.73
kala kolohe ups!! hawaii is on the map. aloha
in 3-17-2008 at 09:03:44 from 71.176.166.34
Phil Baroni is so bad. Everyone talks about him like he’s good. What has he done? nothing
in 3-17-2008 at 16:44:29 from 76.92.12.255
Damm……….Got your ass kicked Baloney…..
The next day on the news….His eyes was ALLBUS…..
Keep talkin Smak…..
in 3-17-2008 at 17:49:10 from 82.27.192.84
Ref should have stopped it earlier, Baroni was doing sweet FA
in 3-17-2008 at 20:39:03 from 71.33.78.24
Anyone who has been gassed in a fight knows how shitty that is. You have to hand it to Baroni, he got his ass kicked and had nothing in the tank but he hung in there.
This is coming from a big anti Baroni guy. I always think of him sitting on top of the octagon pounding his chest yelling “tha best eva!! tha best eva!!” like an ape.
As well, Kala Kolohe took some punishment in the beginning and stuck around, good fight on his part
in 3-17-2008 at 21:52:08 from 76.20.38.130
awesome post fam
in 3-17-2008 at 22:00:27 from 67.53.55.202
The Kala Kolohe Hose fight with Phil Baroni was a good one no doubt! Hose wanted it more then Bologna & deserved it more. “Yes Bologna, a HAWAIIAN did take the belt!” Hose is the best fighter coming out of Hawaii hands down. To top that off he’s so composed, with Bologna talking mad crap, he was calm! THAT’S SOMEONE WHO DESERVES TO BE CHAMP! Lawler would’ve been a better fight had he not pull from the 2 fights Icon & Elite had for them (I know their first meet they were “suppose to” have, he was on that show “The Ultimate Fighter”, jumping around, with a “shoulder injury”)? Another fight that was planned for Hose & Lawler was Elite’s fault! They wanted Lawler to fight Hua. So three fights total that they were suppose to have….. CANCELED, none because of Hose. You gotta admit they had to pull the Icon belt from Lawler, that doesn’t matter he still has the Elite belt he won from Hua anyway. I can’t wait for the Hose vs Lawler fight, whenever that maybe. You know their gonna fight no matter what, they should even put both belts on the line why not. Call it “ALL OR NOTHING HOSE VS. LAWLER FORTH TRY STILL WAITING, COMING SOON 2020″! Unless Lawler retires. Then what? I’m outta comments, Shoots
in 3-17-2008 at 22:07:59 from 69.208.6.111
I LOVE it! Always nice to see the New York Suck Ass get his butt whipped good. I’d love to see him do his strut AFTER the fight. With his eyes swollen shut and entire body in pain after such an awesome beating. LOL!
in 3-17-2008 at 23:46:49 from 99.245.161.153
baroni has always sucked and will continue to suck
in 3-18-2008 at 00:24:50 from 67.49.129.4
Kala kolohe represent 4 waianae,HI. baroni and lawler aint got shit on him.
in 3-18-2008 at 01:10:17 from 72.234.34.63
Hose improved his professional record to 5-1 with his fifth-round knockout of Baroni, who was later taken by ambulance to The Queen’s Medical Center.
Hose was clearly in control in the fourth and he staggered Baroni with a right hook-left uppercut combination. Baroni, his nose possibly broken, was deducted a point later in the round for fleeing.
Hose put the fight away early in the fifth with a left-right-left combination that sent Baroni to the ropes and down to the canvas. Two devastating straight rights later, the referee stopped the fight.
in 3-18-2008 at 01:16:55 from 12.214.214.109
yeah whats up with this little organization we don’t know about all this mma fighters fighting in some organization thats not half as good as pride or ufc, i think popular fighters that move down to lesser known fighting organization kinda loose there popularity becuase there little bithes cuz they can’t hang with pride or ufc……..
in 3-18-2008 at 03:59:58 from 71.236.193.230
that ref sucked. hole got extra corner time, baroni was on his back for a ridiculous amount of time, and imo the fight was stopped early. sure baroni looked gas as hell but he was still intelligently defending himself. i dont know if elitecx has special rules or if it was just because he was a local boy but damn that was a bs stoppage.
in 3-18-2008 at 04:54:38 from 211.28.167.126
GOD DAMN I wish wish the UFC had these rules!!!!
5×5 minute rounds! Stomps, knees on the ground, soccer kicks.
These rules are the SHIT!
Good to see Baroni cop a flogging!
in 3-18-2008 at 10:36:18 from 217.119.47.108
Baroni do you know what cardio training is?
in 3-18-2008 at 13:14:01 from 74.2.119.98
hey adam since your into correcting other adults here’s one for you. The fight organization is icon not elitexc. Also you forgot the apostrophy in doesn’t. Of course if this is another adam and not the one who responded to my gerbil bash, (in regards to the the aoki fight or the belfort chat) then my deepest apology.
in 3-18-2008 at 16:13:18 from 67.120.199.230
R.Keegan,
I’d like to invite down to The Futon Shop in NORTHERN CALI.
I see you are an expert at over-reacting and being an asshole. Come on down to the shop and we’ll smoke a joint so you can mellow the fuck out.
Its one thing if you know Phil Baroni, but if you don’t, relax. Im a huge MMA fan, and Ive done some training in Sambo, and wrestling has been a life long passion of mine.
I think Tim Sylvia lacks heart and Baroni is an arrogant prick, so fucking what! Can I be an Internet fighter too? PLEASE. I am a pussy as well [They say you are what you eat] So mellow out dickhead.
-HUMBERTO
in 3-18-2008 at 16:47:48 from 72.235.53.100
“SUN” go ask Baroni if the fight was stopped early. I didn’t see him complaining. In fact I’ll bet he was glad it was stopped.
in 3-18-2008 at 17:02:17 from 72.235.53.100
If the UFC had these rules imagine someones head pinned in the corner of the cage and the floor and getting stomped. That would be ugly. With the ropes you can at least try and crawl out to avoid it imo but what do I know never been stomped before.
in 3-18-2008 at 20:36:05 from 67.53.55.202
SUN,
You should just quit! His name is Hose not Hole. The ref tried to let Jabroni get up, but he just couldn’t do it, I don’t blame him! Hose was getting stomped on in the 1st & he admitted to that, but he was going up hill from there. So how can you say the ref shouldn’t have stopped the fight when your boy Phil got sent to the hospital? I think they should have stopped the fight sooner. I’m glad they didn’t! It was a good fight, they both had the chance & the better man came out THE CHAMP!
in 3-19-2008 at 02:41:31 from 24.193.16.219
Am I the only one who thinks that MMA fights should not be in a ring? A ring is meant for stand up fighting. Its annoying everytime a ref has to reset fighters when they get to close to the edge of the ring. Are they just trying to save money? Are cages even more expensive?
in 3-19-2008 at 23:33:53 from 76.6.149.147
give Credit where credit is due….. Get off my cuzin let me say this every Dog has its day and it was very obvious who won let me inform those who dont know Hose was the underdog as well as told he wasn’t goin to last 2 minutes in the first round so he showed “all of you who hatin on him” remember the name cause it’ll be around talk all the noise you want but he won so deal with it!!!!! grow up and get on our level!!!
in 3-20-2008 at 16:39:32 from 72.235.212.239
no excuses for Phil Baroni.He’s a professional fighter he supposed to be ready for a 5 round fight.maybe even a 6 round fight.as soon as he felt a Hawaiian’s power he was scared to even stand with braddah Ross(Kala Kolohe.)to all you mainland guys talking down on kala kolohe.shut the F@ck up. while you guys are learning to fight at age 18. Us Hawaiians are fighting at birth. we fight everyday, this is what we do, this is what we know. so if you wanna test us out. take a little vacation and come to the most beautifull state, Hawaii.and take a drive to the westside of Waianae.and call out the first hawaiian you see,i’m pretty sure he’ll knock you a$$ out. oh yeah, robbie lawler you’re next!!quit running away
in 3-20-2008 at 18:08:36 from 24.253.108.147
The difference between Hawaiian guys and roid boys is roid boys need to get mad to fight Hwaiians just fight for fun. I agree with Chute Boxe in that there wasnt much technique in that fight but, it was a great fight.
Baroni should go down a wieght class he takes way too much punishment at this weight.
Props to Kala for a great fight well deserved win…..
in 3-21-2008 at 04:48:38 from 72.235.53.100
Hawaiian Scrappahz,
You just made us Hawaiians look bad wit all dat “come to Hawaii “,”call out the first Hawaiian” crap.
in 3-23-2008 at 19:04:45 from 67.83.47.175
What a sloppy ass fight. Baroni had a good gameplan but got tired quicker than hell. Hose has always been a sloppy brawler, but anybody can beat up a fighter who’s tired.
in 4-2-2008 at 04:16:06 from 70.181.183.142
That was not that great of a fight. Kala should have finished him sooner. Way sooner. Baroni is only good for the first round knockout, thats it. I would like to see more of Kala tho he needs to work on his technique. He’s got a big heart. I am definitely glad he won.
in 4-5-2008 at 04:09:19 from 76.92.23.128
I give credit to both fighters, at least they took on the challenge! After all, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but if you were in any of these fighters’ position it would be a whole different story!
in 4-14-2008 at 19:27:54 from 66.91.143.14
Phil Baroni just needs to retire already, he caught cracks from someone 15 years younger than he is.
in 6-9-2008 at 16:44:37 from 70.56.88.247
Kala whooped dat ass.
in 3-14-2010 at 14:31:55 from 98.154.183.35
Phil Baroni? Didn’t he play giutar for Adam Ant?
