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.

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.
