One of the most shocking endings in UFC history took place in the main event of Sunday night’s UFC Live card, as Pat Barry appeared to poised to knock Cheick Kongo out with several brutal punches — only to have Kongo recover and knock Barry cold with a brutal uppercut of his own.
This looked like something choreographed for a movie, not a real mixed martial arts competition.
At the 2:15 mark of the first round, Barry connected with a huge right hook to the side of Kongo’s head, knocking Kongo sprawling to the canvas.
