Hope Geale beats the crap out of Darren Barker, absolutely hate that guy!

Hope Barker wins this, one of the nicest blokes I've met in the sport and he put up a really good fight against Martinez.

Yeah, why the hate for Barker??? Other than being a Chelsea fan he seems pretty inoffensive. Unless having his brother die tragically is a good reason.

Strange choice of venue though. This would have been a huge fight in either the UK or Oz.
