Win or lose he puts on a show--usually anyways. In a sport that is mostly mental things can change quickly when an athlete has the right mindset. Best of luck Philly.

With Sell having a 3-5 UFC record, I'd think that if Sell loses he goes. It would be a great rematch though. They're both on about the same level right now. I’ll second that.

You can't knock the guy for not trying. Sure, he needs to work on his cardio. That's a given. There's just something about his fights that I find entertaining. EXACTLY.

LOL. Yeah he's only had horrible cardio his entire career including gassing once again in his last fight. But I'm sure that's all in the past now that he's a UFC fighter right? “I don’t see him gassing though being that he’s in the big show for the final time.”

Bit of a moron, obviously, but he's always entertaining and I love to see him fight. I also think he's grown up a lot since his early days. His failure to react to a full on headbutt by a (knocked out) opponents idiotic friend in Cage Rage last year is surely an indicator of this. Unfortunately his talent and skill level, combined with his age and recent record, definitely do not warrant a contract with the UFC - especially when you consider other WW and MW fighters out there who the UFC isn't making efforts to sign. But I can see the logic in the signing; Baroni is an entertaining fighter who sells his own fights with his personality as well being an attraction for the fans of the sport who have been around since the UFC 30's and 40's. Not to mention the fact that he's probably going to be on a comparatively cheap contract. A win for both parties. He also didn't win his first three fights, he lost to Lindland in his second fight and then won his next two. One of which was the knockout of Dave Menne, possibly the sickest KO from standing punches in MMA history? I confess I do like Phil Baroni probably more than I should.

The only thing I can figure is he signed a 3 or 4 fight deal expressing his desire to retire out of the UFC. He'll get a little more exposure and a little money. I don't see him gassing though being that he's in the big show for the final time. Hopefully we'll get some good fights out of it. My only question is will he be fighting at welterweight or middleweight this time? Personally, all the antics aside, I like the guy.

Talent and where his is in his career wise he doesn't really belong in UFC, but he could have a few fights against some of the upcoming guys in UFC like John Howard, Johny Hendricks, or some of the other guys coming in recently.
