ONE OF THE CRAZIEST COMEBACK KNOCKOUTS IN UFC HISTORY! Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry delivered an unforgettable heavyweight showdown at UFC on Versus 4 on June 26, 2011, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After the original main event was canceled, their clash was promoted to headline the card, putting two dangerous strikers on a collision course. The tension was already obvious before the opening bell, with Kongo refusing to touch gloves during the referee's instructions. Just moments into the fight, Barry landed a devastating right hand that dropped Kongo before unleashing a brutal follow-up assault, knocking him down for a second time. With Kongo badly hurt and referee Dan Miragliotta nearly stepping in to stop the action, the fight appeared all but over. But Kongo somehow refused to quit. Fighting purely on instinct, he managed to regain his footing and unleash a desperate counter right hand just as Barry rushed forward. The punch landed perfectly, sending Barry crashing unconscious to the canvas at 2:39 of the first round. What looked like a certain defeat instantly became one of the most unbelievable comeback knockouts in UFC history. NEVER COUNT A FIGHTER OUT!
