UFC Live 4: Pat Barry Discusses Cheick Kongo Ahead of UFC on Versus 4
Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
UFC heavyweight Pat Barry has been quite a charismatic person outside of the UFC, however, he has remained focused ahead of his bout with French kickboxer, Cheick Kongo at UFC on Versus 4.
Barry, who will be in the co-main event against Kongo, has put his time in during his training camp and has prepared for his opponent as the Frenchman will serve as one of the biggest tests of his career.
While speaking with Heavy.com, Barry expects to see Kongo use a different strategy than before.
“He’s supposedly feeling 100 percent better now and he’s back to his old ways. But, now he’s standing across from me, and Cheick Kongo being the striker that he is, I guarantee you, will turn into a wrestler as soon as I throw punch either passed his head or I make contact,” Barry said.
Kongo is coming off a back surgery that Barry believes will hinder the Frenchman’s chances of a win on Sunday.
