The date was June 26th, 2011. The event was UFC Live on Versus 4. The place was the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This was when and where I attended my first live event held by the UFC. I must admit I was overly excited for a chance to see some of the best athletes in the world, competing right in front of my eyes.
I entered the arena early as I wanted to experience the arena and set-up before fans filled the seats in. The lights were dimmed and the Octagon was lit up which made for some good pictures. As fans started pouring in, the seats filled, and the excitement built. I was ready for some UFC action.
The card was changed multiple times for various reasons and the main attractions such as Nate Marquardt, Anthony Johnson, and Martin Kampmann were all removed from the card but as I looked at the fights presented, it looked to be a very good card. That statement though, was very underrated as the UFC held on of the best shows ever, as stated by Dana White himself.
The show had a lot of finishes and the fights that went to a decision were pretty entertaining. The event had a huge upset and one of the most memorable comebacks in the history of MMA.
This will go down as one of the best sets of fights on a card in a long time and I was very grateful to have experienced this in person.

Seems like you should be able to predict the fight based on the shorts alone. PicProps: MMAJunkie
It happens everytime. You write off a UFC card as uninteresting and decide to paint along with Bob Ross (or whatever it is you do with your personal time), and the fighters get wind of it and take your lack of interest personally.
They get in to the Octagon and perform stupifying acts of athleticism and heartitude, Dana White gets a huge boner at the press conference, and now you have to read recaps and watch GIFs to catch up on the action. Sucks to be you, we guess.
Frankly, you need to be making better choices in your life — you cannot paint those happy little clouds and friendly little mountains like Bob Ross — no one can. Frodog himself couldn’t even paint like that; all of Bob Ross’s shows were actually produced by Industrial Light and Magic. There, the secret is out, and we can die in peace.
For those dedicated souls that tuned in, hey wow, how about that show, huh? Like you, we had some thoughts during the fights, and unlike you, we wrote some of these thoughts down during and after the fights. Come on in and let us tell you how you’re feeling right now.
All hail Zombie Prophet!

Charles Oliveira and Nik Lentz were putting on a damn show in the prelims, until Oliveira blasted Lentz in the eyepiece with an illegal knee. When referee Chip Snider missed the blow completely and kept the fight going, Lentz was submitted like he had no clue what was going on. (Because he didn’t.) Oliveira gets the win, and our blood pressure started going up … until we’re informed that reps from the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission were on the case, and the fight and the result would be examined. Props, kudos, and respect to the AC for being on the ball to: A) catch the foul, and B) move swiftly to assure everyone that they caught the foul.
It was quickly apparent in the Mitrione-Morecraft fight that Meathead hits quite a bit harder than Christian Morecraft appreciates being hit, and we were surprised to see it make it out of the first. It was the accumulation of damage, rather than one crushing killshot, that sent Morecraft to the floor, but Mitrione knew his work was done. Morecraft shying away from the referee like he’d just been tag-teamed by a honey badger and a silverback gorilla hopped up on Cialis only served to reinforce that he was done for the night. Mitrione was already off shaking hands with Joe Silva and thinking of a joke for his Rogan interview. Walk-off knockouts: yep, still awesome.
Saturday, Rick Story was riding an impressive win streak (poised to join the 7 Win Club), coming off a great victory, shooting up the welterweight rankings, and was a chic pick to spoil Nate Marquardt’s debut at 170. Sunday night, he’s getting outwrestled by some guy from the prelims. While the late change in opponents could have been a factor, Story looked to be having some fatigue issues as the fight went on. Whether he was over-trained or under-gameplanned, Story probably wishes he’d taken a couple months off. On a related note…
And we don’t mean his skinny-puppy physique or those awesomely bad highlighter vale tudo shorts. Charlie Brenneman is now 14-2 professionally, with losses to John Howard (three years ago) and Johny Hendricks — no shame there. In the UFC, he’s sent two other fighters home with a pink slip, including his debut victory over Jason High. On one hand, it seems surreal to even mention Brenneman against guys like GSP, Fitch, or Koscheck; on the other, he deserves more than just returning to the prelims versus TJ Grant. There’s plenty of fights for him: Brian Foster (if his brain is ok) or Matt Brown would be appropriate tests for him, but if he wants to make a splash he’ll go after Thiago Alves. We can’t see him winning that fight, but then again, dude, did you see what he did to Rick Story?
Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry brought the artillery for their fight, and they manages to use all of it in just about two and a half minutes. HD had Kongo reeling all over the Octagon between two knockdowns, and everyone expected ref Dan Mirgliotta to jump in and save Kongo — including Mirgliotta himself. Kongo managed to regain his footing, shaky as it was, and land a right hook and a follow-on uppercut that put Barry directly in touch with his belated great-nana . It was a scary KO and we were glad to see our boy HD was ok, but holy Scott Smith Batman! Between his “hay ladies” physique and his concussive knockouts, Kongo reminded all of us why he’s still in the UFC last night.

Judging from the entries in last week’s fight-picking contest, there are a whole lot of heartbroken Pat Barry fans in the house today. Out of 114 predictions, only one person thought that Cheick Kongo would win by first-round knockout. That person was ‘Me likey‘, who thought it would happen at the 4:10 mark; the actual time of stoppage was 2:39. Obviously, we’re just going to pretend that Marquardt vs. Story wasn’t part of this contest — just as both of those guys will be trying to forget that this awful weekend ever happened, we’re guessing. (Hey Rick, remember when you were on this list? Sucks, bro.)
So, Me likey, hit us up at [email protected] with your real name and address and we’ll send you that Royce Gracie Blu-ray disc as soon as we get a chance. Thanks to everybody who played…

Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry, as everyone knows, were not scheduled to headline the UFC on Versus 4 card, but got thrown into the main event position following the shocking release of Nate Marquardt from the organization.
For all the controversy surrounding Marquardt, it’s probably a good thing that Kongo and Barry wound up closing the show, because there was no way that anything else was going to be able to follow it.
This fight wound up being one of the most exciting two-and-a-half-minute fights that you will ever see. Barry was dominating Kongo to the point where you were screaming at the television wondering when the referee was going to stop it.
Kongo looked completely out of it after Barry landed a right hand on the side of his head. Barry followed that shot up with some rights and lefts on the ground, but Kongo fought his way back up only to be dropped once again with a shot to the head.
Announcers Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg said that Kongo was out, and he looked like he was.
But once again, Kongo worked his way back up to his feet. He threw two rights that caught Barry right on the butt of the jaw, sending him to the mat. He followed it up with a few punches on the ground before the referee stopped it.
Nate Marquardt may have been the story of the weekend, but for two minutes, Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry provided the real fireworks.
