Just a day before what was supposed to be UFC Live: Marquardt vs. Story one of the oddest events in MMA occurred as Nate Marquardt was not medically cleared to fight and subsequently released from the UFC. Emerging victoriously from the shadows of the Marquardt situation, the newly titled UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry; brought down the house.

The Facebook preliminary card opened the night with two of the three event bonuses, along with three first round stoppages. It also had one of the biggest referee blunders too as Chip Snider missed a game changing illegal knee by Charles Oliveira against Nik Lentz. Oliveira went only to submit Lentz after the knee but expect the fight to be ruled a no contest after the commission reviews it.

The main card on Versus opened with Matt Mitrione showing Christian Morecraft just how hard he punches in the second round. The next two bouts were back to back upsets as Matt Brown and Charlie Brenneman took unanimous decision wins over the betting favorites. The night was concluded with a main event between Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry that ended with one of the biggest comebacks that had everyone speechless.

What started out as an event clouded with mystery around Nate Marquardt turned best card on Versus by the UFC and one hell of a free event. Check out the night’s complete results below:
