Patrick Barry (martial artist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pat Barry (kickboxer)
Patrick Joseph "Pat" Barry (born July 7, 1979) is an American kickboxer and former mixed martial artist who competes in the Heavyweight division. Known for his devastating kicks, and his low kicks in particular,〔(Most Vicious Leg Kicks in MMA )〕〔(4 UFC Fighters with Punishing Leg Kicks )〕 Barry began practicing Sanshou while a college student and won numerous titles at domestic and international level before joining K-1 in 2005 where he competed for two years, mostly as a participant on the promotion's North American events. In 2008, he embarked on a career in MMA, winning his first three fights by knockout before signing a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship and competing in the promotion for the next five years as a Heavyweight, compiling a 5–7 record with only one of the matches going the distance. Barry retired from MMA in late 2013 and returned to kickboxing the following year, joining Glory. ==Background== Barry was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a Caucasian-American military veteran father and African-American mother. Barry's parents opened bilingual elementary schools around the world and as a result Barry was raised in Bogota, Colombia until the age of six. When his father died from cancer, he moved back to New Orleans with his mother, older sister and younger brother. Although he did not start training in martial arts until the age of 21, Barry grew up a fan of ninjas, the ''Street Fighter'' video games and Jean-Claude Van Damme films and often watched K-1 kickboxing in his youth.〔(Pat Barry looks to make ‘mega-ridiculous statement’ in UFC debut )〕 He worked as a pizza delivery man prior to his career in professional fight sports.〔(Official UFC profile )〕
