A disqualification loss is not sitting well with Irish UFC athlete Dean Barry. Barry vented his frustrations online following the loss against Mike Jackson.
Barry came into the event thinking he was ‘cursed’. After all the Irishman has been having visa issues for over a year – and this delayed his debut. Barry was once a kickboxing sensation but has struggled to gain momentum in his MMA career thanks to administrative difficulties.
Barry lost to the worst athlete on the UFC roster. Mike Jackson is a journalist who the UFC tagged when it was time to get CM Punk (born Phil Brooks) a second chance in mixed martial arts.
Mike Jackson barely edged out a decision victory against Brooks – but said victory was then overturned to a no contest thanks to a pot induced hazed that pinged USADA’s test.
Everyone was surprised when the UFC booked Jackson for another UFC bout.
Mike Jackson was declared the winner after Dean Barry was disqualified following two intentional fouls in the first round of their welterweight contest at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
During the fight, Mike Jackson got wheel-kicked right into his private parts. His reaction to the foul might as well be the best reaction to a low blow in UFC history.
“Oh my God, a spinning kick to the d*ck!” Jackson yelled right beside a UFC microphone. “Ah, f*ck! Ahh, that motherf*cker!”

However, much to Jackson’s despair, his opponent was about to land another foul. Later in the round, Dean Barry landed a nasty eye poke that once stopped the action due to a foul.
But despite the damning video evidence the Irishman feels he was wronged. He went live on his social media and shared the following accusing Jackson of taking ‘the easy way out’.
Jackson shared a mini update regarding his nether regions.
My balls finally stopped hurting after 4 hours. Helluva spinning kick to the dick, Dean. #ShitsAndGiggles #UFCVegas52 pic.twitter.com/q3sloYuS06

He shared no update on his eye – but it appears to be functional considering he’s snarking at the haters online.
