Pat Barry Meets Cheick Kongo at UFC on Versus 4 in June

Quote :

Two of the two strikers in the UFC are set to do battle as Pat Barry returns to action at UFC on Versus 4 to face Cheick Kongo in a heavyweight match-up on the June 26 card.

Sources close to the match-up confirmed the bout with MMAWeekly.com on Monday.

Barry (6-2) returns to the Octagon after a unanimous decision win over Joey Beltran in January. Speaking at a UFC Q&A just last week, Barry sounded anxious to get back in the cage to compete again and it appears he got his wish.

MMAWeekly.com first announced the Kongo was returning to action on the UFC on Versus 4 card, and now he has his opponent.

Kongo is just 2-2-1 in his last five fights, and looks to get back to his winning ways when he faces Barry in June.

The UFC has not officially announced the UFC on Versus 4 card yet, but it’s expected to take place June 26 with the location being rumored as Milwaukee, Wisc.

I will take Pat "huggy" Barry in this one!

as long as Kongo stays away from the nut shots

Kongo will tap out due to leg kicks. He has that massive frame of an upperbody, and twig-like legs in comparison.

good scrap though

I think Kongo can mat rat Berry for the 15 minute win.

Hopefully this fight stays standing.

Nice test to see if working out with Lesnar and the gang improved Barry's wrestling because Kongo isn't standing with him

Was thinking the same thing. Kongo in his last couple fights has showed some decent takedowns. Kongo by ground and pound due to how bad Berry is on the ground. If Berry can chop Kongo's legs quick he has a shot.

so who da fuck is S Carwin going to fight?

I thought Roy already told everyone? He will fight JDS after scary ass Brock leaves.

Good fight, but I hope it isn't the main event for the show. That would be a big let down. Don't any of you give me that shit that one of these guys deserves any kind of main event on any card. Fight Night, Versus show, or TUF Finale, etc.

This is the fight I wanted for Barry, great fight

Great fight, I like Barry to chop Kongo down with his tree trunk legs.

I would have been psyched for this fight a year ago. Now, not so much.
