Phil Baroni

Phil Baroni, fighting out of an orthodox stance, compiled a 15–18 professional record across a career spanning multiple decades in combat sports. Over eight recent fights, Baroni went 3–5, reflecting inconsistency against varied competition levels.

His fighting style blended moderate striking volume with grappling utility: he averaged 2.77 strikes landed per minute with 45% accuracy, while absorbing 3.93 strikes per minute and defending 40% of incoming strikes. On the mat, Baroni averaged 1.46 takedowns per 15 minutes at 47% accuracy and defended 60% of opponent attempts, demonstrating solid wrestling fundamentals.

His submission average of 0.5 per 15 minutes indicated occasional submission threats. Notable recent performances included a devastating first-round knockout of Dave Menne in September 2002, a submission victory over Yosuke Nishijima in October 2006, and losses to Ikuhisa Minowa via decision in September 2005 and Amir Sadollah via unanimous decision in November 2009.

Baroni's career trajectory showed early promise followed by declining results against stronger opposition, typical of fighters who competed across multiple eras without maintaining elite-level performance consistently.
