For a show that went through so many changes, both early on and last-minute, UFC on Versus 4 delivered some exciting fights. I don’t think anyone will forget the thunderous punch that Kongo landed while he was pretty much out on his feet to put Pat Barry to sleep.
Charlie Brenneman defeating Rick Story in front of his hometown fans and Matt Mitrione continuing his surprising ascension up the ladder of the UFC heavyweight division were just two of the compounding stories that came out of Pittsburgh, PA.
Being a fan of Matt Brown, it was nice to see him snap his three-fight losing streak and earn another fight in the UFC. His record may not be pretty, but Brown comes to fight and Dana White is a big fan of guys like him. John Howard suffered his third loss in a row and he will more than likely be sent packing; it’s not like he’s getting beaten to a pulp, but a loss is a loss.
I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus because of work and family obligations, but I am back and ready to see where these guys are headed next.
