June 26, 2011. Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry delivered one of the most unbelievable finishes in UFC history. During their heavyweight matchup at UFC Live 4 in Pittsburgh, Barry dropped Kongo twice with powerful punches, leaving him visibly hurt and struggling to recover. With the referee closely watching, Barry rushed forward looking to finish the fight. But in a stunning reversal, Kongo fired back with a right hand and a devastating uppercut, knocking Barry out just 2:39 into the opening round. The referee’s decision to let Kongo continue gave the heavyweight an opportunity to produce one of MMA’s most memorable comebacks.
