Should the UFC give the barncat another shot?

He shouldn't be allowed back unless he agrees to drop the 'Barncat' nickname.

I actually like that nickname. A breath of fresh air from all of the "Pitbulls" and "Assassins."
 
thought he looked like a good size MW as well. Guy was tall but kind of under developed at 170, i was worried he was gonna come back a bloated WW and fight at 185, but he looked in really good shape.

always enjoyed watching him fight, guy has certainly been working on his hands though. don't care where he fights, as long as I can watch.

Brennan Ward is no can either, might not be great but no can
 
Hell no! Have you actually ever tried to interact with one of these feral animals? They are vicious and have no remorse for anybody or anything. Barncat FTW!

Yeah, that's a great nickname for an aggressive fighter who isn't unusually athletic and near the top of his division. Most wild animals - even the ones that could potentially kill us - do anything they can to avoid conflict, especially with humans. Barn cats have just accepted that they need the human presence and territory to survive. They're certainly aware that we can harm them if we want, but since they depend on us they can't just run away like a native wild animal, nor can they accept anyone or anything else taking over the space and resources they need to survive. They're willing to go down fighting and make you remember it, no matter how outmatched they are.

Ward was like a muskrat who stumbled upon a way into the barn and didn't hear it coming.

Why did he leave MMA?
I cant recall ever reading about it.

Also great nick name barn cats are underrated fighters and they are scrappy.
And as already pointed out so much better than another Pitbull....
 
Hell yeah. He took out number 1 contender in less than a minute...
Plus MW is pretty thin, Dollaway is fighting Machidad...
 
Looks like he spent the last 5 years working on his asskicking ability then came back when he was ready.

Or he just got bored and came back and now is refreshed.
