Popular British YouTuber Brian Davis has shared his take on the recent controversy surrounding Rose Namajunas and Pat Barry.

Namajunas' coach and fiance Barry appeared on a recent episode of The MMA Hour. He stated that he was pleased with his fiancee's performance despite 'Thug' losing her title to Carla Esparza at UFC 274.

Many from the MMA community have found his statement quite problematic and have also blamed him for the fighter's loss.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Davis a.k.a. True Geordie expressed his thoughts on the matter. He felt that a "yes-man" like Barry doesn't seem healthy for a fighter like Namajunas:

"Oh bro! No... You are a yes-man. You are a f*****g yes-man. You cannot be happy with your fighter losing a title by barely throwing punches in a fight for f*****g 25 minutes. It is one of the worst performances a champion has ever had, and he is sitting there, bold-face lying, not only about his fighter but about his missus. It's not healthy for her. It's just not. This is how people lose. This is how yes-man makes you lose. "
