Love him or hate him, Phil Baroni was a star in his own right. And as The New York Badass calls it a career after nearly two decades of competition, it would be a fitting tribute to look back on one of his most notable performances.
Baroni didn’t have a stellar career that would warrant mainstream superstardom. He was never the face of any organization and he never held a world title. But one thing you can’t deny is that he always came to deliver, especially during his heyday. Case in point: his UFC 37 bout against the late Amar Suloev in May 2002.
