In the opening minutes against Cheick Kongo at UFC Live 4 in 2011, Barry landed two devastating right hands that sent Kongo crashing to the canvas twice. Kongo looked badly hurt. His legs were unsteady Barry was charging forward, and the finish seemed inevitable. It was the kind of situation where the referee could have stepped in at any moment-but Kongo refused to give up. Then, somehow, the fight changed in a single second. While still visibly hurt, Kongo fired back with a right hook followed by a perfectly timed uppercut. Barry walked straight into the counter, hit the canvas, and the fight was suddenly over The knockout came at 2:39 of the first round, turning what looked like an almost certain loss into one of the wildest comebacks in UFC history. That's heavyweight MMA: you can be one punch away from victory-or one punch away from being unconscious.
