Irish fighter Dean Barry thought his career might be over because he couldn't obtain a visa to fight in the U.S. Now, $20000 later, he's back in the UFC and ...

“He has nothing to lose in this fight,” Barry said.

With dwindling prospects in the fight game and another baby on the way, Barry decided he needed to start looking for a steady job that would begin providing him a regular paycheck. He tried to explain the history of his entire situation.

"This fight is not going to be a walk in the park for me, I have to go in here and treat him like he's the best.

And he says that a lack of weight cut has meant a fun week with his trainer Ryan and his brother Shane, who will also corner him. But after visa issues and travel problems for his opponent Jackson, their two planned fight dates were scrapped and he was dropped by the promotion.
