Pat Barry says Sean Strickland’s recent comments could’ve led to Rose Namajunas’ loss: “It’s causing her to get into the fight and be emotional”

Pat Barry has touched on Sean Strickland’s recent comments about his relationship with Rose Namajunas.

Last month, the UFC middleweight contender went after Barry and Namajunas, among other MMA couples. Strickland alleged that the former UFC heavyweight contender is a groomer. The main reason is that Barry was much older when he met Namajunas, and it’s been alleged that she was a minor when they began dating.

Sean Strickland’s comments are from a new thing in the MMA community. The relationship between Barry and Namajunas has been controversial for years. The former heavyweight decided to give his thoughts on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

Pat Barry alleged that the whole situation was misunderstood in response to Strickland. The 42-year-old said that the origin of the grooming allegations came from a misconstrued interview years ago. He also opined that the comments from the middleweight could’ve played a role in Rose Namajunas’ loss to Carla Esparza last weekend.

This whole Sean Strickland thing that is all over the place everywhere. Years ago, Rose did an interview and said ‘I joined Rufussport when I was 14 years ago, and then I left Rufussport for a few years. Then I came back to Rufussport, to pursue my MMA career, and that’s where I met my fiancee Pat Barry’. When the guy wrote the interview up, he wrote ‘Rose Namajunas joined Rufussport when she was 14 years old where she met her fiance Pat Barry, when she was 14 years old’.

Pat Barry continued, “That’s where everyone is getting this s*it from, a botched interview. That’s where everyone is getting all that from because someone decided to write it that way. It must’ve seemed credible and they just run with it. It’s those types of things everywhere that cause Rose to get into the fight with Carla, and be emotional.”

I had a feeling Sean Strickland was responsible for her loss as well...

I feel like her relationship with pat barry is one of the worst things for her at this point.

Maybe it was good at once but now she’s clearly in a shell thinking Barry is the only thing good for her.

He will convince her it’s everyone else’s fault and everyone else is to blame and he has her best interests and blah blah blah.

Pat Barry “rose lost because for once in her career she stuck to the game plan”

Also pat barry “rose lost because she didn’t listen to us”

Also pat barry “rose lost because she fought emotional because of Sean Strickland”

Like what the fuck bro

Anyone else think Strickland might get knocked out in his next fight?

Tony Ferguson is the type of dude who would groom Pat Barry.

Comments like these that Pat makes are really counterproductive for what he is trying to accomplish and he does not even know it. Like yeah if this is the case...Rose is beyond mentally fragile. Why the fuck she would even know that Sean Strickland made these comments is beyond me anyways.

For Rose's next fight her opponent should just have one of her male training partners say some shit like this again and its a guaranteed win apparently.

Pat should’ve taken Pavel Fedotov’s approach and started work at like 8 instead of 14. The Shevchenkos are mentally solid!

Strickland doubling down on it and the fact that Barry keeps bringing it up make it seem legit. Barry isn't laughing it off or dismissing it, keeps trying to defend it or explain it. They both know what's up.

Was a pat Barry fan in his day, this whole thing is shitty.

No dad, that doesn't help the case.

His timeline of them dating compared to hers is wierd too. Just shitty all around.

I hope her head isn't shaved bc he gets jealous when she looks great.

I was thinking Pat's comments made Rose lose the fight. She should dump that bag of shit like a bag of shit. The dude is an attention seeking maggot.

Trevor Whittman is a great coach. I think Rose should keep Pat as a husband and not a coach though.

It will never happen but Rose going out to a gym like Tiger Muay Thai where the local Thai girls don't know nor give a fuck who you are would be good for her. Everyone is too afraid to not coddle her in fear of her fragile mentality.

Go somewhere that you are just another random lady in the gym and get some hard rounds in, nobody fights as passive as Rose did against Esparza in such a gym scenario and lasts very long. It might bring the aggression and dog out of her.
