The New York Bad Ass,
Philip George Baroni (born April 16, 1976) is an American former professional mixed martial artist, former kickboxer and recent professional wrestler. Before crossing over full-time to professional wrestling, Baroni competed in Bellator MMA's Welterweight division. A professional competitor since 2000, Baroni has also formerly competed for UFC, PRIDE, Strikeforce, Cage Rage, DREAM, EliteXC, and ONE FC.
Baroni grew up in Massapequa Park on Long Island, New York. He attended Massapequa High School where he was on the wrestling team, but was expelled when he was a senior for assaulting a janitor at the school, only a week before the state wrestling championships in which he was ranked first. Baroni attended Nassau Community College and became a two time All-American wrestler there, placing fifth and second in the nation. Baroni then attended Hofstra University before transferring to Central Michigan University, where he was a double major in biology and psychology, and lived in Deerfield E14. He was also an amateur bodybuilder from the age of 17 to 20, competing in six shows in which he placed either first or second. He studied kickboxing under Keith Trimble, and had seven matches, winning all by knockout. He also competed in 10 amateur boxing matches, also winning all 10 by knockout.
