Phil Baroni Talks Missed Opportunities

MMA Mania brings this quote from Phil Baroni who makes his return to the Octagon against Amir Sadollah at UFC 106:

“I think about my career a lot. The ‘what ifs’ and ‘what could have beens.’ What if the decision had gone my way in the first [Matt] Lindland fight? What if the referee hadn’t illegally allowed [Evan] Tanner’s corner to clean and tend to the cut during the first round of our first bout? What if I hadn’t gotten a little too excited with [referee Larry] Landless? What if I hadn’t fallen into that stupid guillotine choke against Pete Sell? Then reality hits, and I forget about all that, because none of it matters anymore. I’ve just got to move forward. I’ve been thinking about this moment since the day that Zuffa released me back in early 2005. The UFC is my home, and I’m ready to come home again.”
