Historic UFC Records Set
Promotional Records Established at UFC on Versus 4
Cheick Kongo survived being knocked down twice and appearing out on his feet before landing a thunderous counter right hand to knock Pat Barry unconscious at 2:39 of Round 1, widely regarded as the most improbable comeback finish in promotional history.
UFC on Versus: Barry vs. Kongo marked the promotion’s historic debut inside the city of Pittsburgh, drawing 7,792 fans to the Consol Energy Center (PPG Paints Arena) and generating a $562,000 live gate.
Pennsylvania native Charlie Brenneman, originally removed from the card earlier in the week, stepped up to replace Nate Marquardt on less than 24 hours’ notice and snapped Rick Story’s six-fight UFC win streak as a +363 betting underdog.
Charles Oliveira’s second-round submission of Nik Lentz was subsequently reviewed and overturned to a No Contest by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission after video confirmed an uncalled illegal grounded knee directly led to the finish.
Despite the official result being overturned to a No Contest, UFC officials preserved the $50,000 Fight of the Night bonuses for both Nik Lentz and Charles Oliveira due to their torrid, fan-favorite pace.
Joe Lauzon secured his eighth official post-fight performance bonus with a slick 1:58 first-round kimura over Curt Warburton, extending his rank near the very top of UFC bonus history.
Matt Mitrione knocked out Christian Morecraft in Round 2, becoming only the second heavyweight in modern UFC history to begin his professional MMA career with five straight victories inside the Octagon.
Former WEC standout Ricardo Lamas made an emphatic promotional and divisional debut at featherweight, stopping Matt Grice via head kick and punches at 4:41 of the opening round.
The live broadcast averaged 744,000 viewers on the Versus network, delivering one of the highest-rated sports telecasts for the network across the summer of 2011.
The Ultimate Fighter 12 finalist Michael Johnson scored his first career stoppage victory under the UFC banner, finishing Edward Faaloloto with heavy punches at 4:42 of Round 1.
Faced with a career-defining moment, Matt Brown snapped a three-fight promotional losing skid by out-grappling John Howard over three hard-fought rounds to secure a unanimous decision.
The 11-bout card featured four explosive first-round stoppage finishes courtesy of Cheick Kongo (2:39), Joe Lauzon (1:58), Ricardo Lamas (4:41), and Michael Johnson (4:42).
