Danny Barlow: 'It Is A Memphis Thing'

For Danny Barlow, winning his first UFC fight with a broken arm was a Memphis thing.

“It is a Memphis thing, for sure,” Barlow laughs. “It comes from being in a lot of situations where, man, you’re scared, but you can't run. That's the number one unspoken rule. You can be scared, but you better not never show up. It's just something that you naturally grow up with. You get in so many moments where you got to have a good poker face, and it’s never the opponent, it’s always the opportunity.”
