UFC newcomer Dean Barry says Mike Jackson ‘took the easy way out’ in disqualification win

Saturday’s UFC Vegas 52 card began with a bit of controversy. The welterweight bout between newcomer Dean Barry and former CM Punk opponent Mike Jackson ended in a disqualification due to an eye gouge committed by the former.

Here’s the clip of the said moment. For squeamish folks, watch at your own risk.

Not a very good start for Barry’s UFC run, which not only had an eye gouge but a low blow from him prior, as well. In his post-fight statement, the 29-year-old Dublin-based fighter began with an apology and explained what led to the poke from his end.
