50 MMA Fights You Must Watch Before You Die

26. Pat Barry Vs. Cheick Kongo - UFC On Versus 4

Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry probably won't go down as MMA greats or be lauded for their titles and accomplishments. However, they will be remembered for the knockdown, drag out war against each other that had fans watching with their mouths wide open in shock.

The feeling out process between the two heavyweights quickly went out the window when Barry punched Kongo with a devastating overhand right. Stumbling backwards and struggling to keep his legs underneath him, Kongo's night looked like it was going to be over as the onrushing Barry looked to finish the fight with more punches.

Instead of landing the killer blow like he intended, Barry was struck with a devastating right hand that wobbled him and a follow-up uppercut that put him to sleep. Within seconds, the outcome of this fight did a complete 180 and somehow Kongo managed to leave the Octagon as the winner.
