If BigSlow gets cut it would be a travesty

I hope BigSlow doesn't get cut. He is a draw for the Euro market. The guy looks more improved every time he fights. I say give him 1 more fight.
 
I think he will get another shot. I thought he got jobbed in the decisions vs Strickland (especially) and Navarez, I think it will be taken into consideration.
 
I think he showed some real progress but unless UFC needs someone for a UK/Euro show, I don't think there's much for him.
 
A draw in europe? Nobody otutside of the UK gives a sh*t about him.
 
His fight with Munoz was way better than the main or comain. His prior losses were both splits as well. He should be kept on excitement factor, alone, but he is definitely UFC caliber as well.

Totally agree, the Strickland fight was a pretty awful robbery.
 
He got robbed against Strickland but he looked bad against Navares and Munos
 
He looked awful against Munoz, who I really thought was way past him prime. Maybe another shot with a better style match-up...
 
He shouldn't get cut and I'm almost certain he won't get cut.


The fact that he's British will help him stay around, he's an intriguing type of fighter at 6'6" though not enough of an athlete to truly make the most of it, but also 2 of his 3 losses were either a robbery or otherwise controversial decision.
 
I'd have no problem with him being cut. Munoz has looked terrible over the past few years. This was a good opportunity for Barnatt to get himself a "name" win and he blew it. Wouldn't any subsequent Barnatt success make the division look weak?
 
I don't see how he'd be a draw anywhere at this point. He's done virtually nothing in his last three fights except stand up from some takedowns, against a guy that's the poster boy for wrestling credentials not necessarily transferring over to MMA. I doubt he'll get cut, but that has more to do with a general lack of British talent in the UFC than anything else. His skills and natural ability are not UFC-level, his size is literally the only thing he has going for him. His ego is also out of control considering his limited skill set. I loved seeing him get destroyed after talking about how he wanted to retire Munoz in the Philippines(before his fight with Hester had even fallen through or Munoz had announced that it'd be his last fight).

There seemed to be a pretty clear consensus on here that he lost to Narvaez. The fact that he thinks he won that fight doesn't make it controversial. Most people thought he beat Strickland, but I have no idea why. He literally did nothing the first 9 minutes of that fight. The stats(FightMetric) support him losing both fights.
 
Nobody in the UK gives a sh*t about him. Nobody in the UK gives a sh*t about MMA to be honest. Pretty weak following for the sport over here.

I have to agree. Out of my circle of friends only 3 of us are MMA fans. Football (the real football, not handegg) is and always will be the biggest sport here and everywhere else not named North America.
 
Never liked him, never will.

But he'll get 1 more chance, an easy fight.

Someone like Dan Kelly.
 
He looked terrible against Munoz who was spent after one round. Several times Munoz had his hands down and Barnatt does nothing. He had a massive reach advantage yet does nothing from striking distance and put little pressure on Munoz.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut.
