(Barry after Cheick knees him in the balls.)
If you like a good old fashioned slobber-knocker, you’ll get one on June 26.
According to MMAJunkie, leg-kick artist Pat Barry will take on Cage Potato fan Cheick Kongo that night at the UFC on Versus 4 event whose location has yet to be determined.
Barry, who is coming off of a close decision win over Joey Beltran at UFC Fight for the Troops 2 in January after failing to pull the trigger or simply coast another 30 seconds to a probable victory against Mirko”Cro Cop” Filipovic at UFC 115 has been criticized by fans and pundits alike for not performing up to his potential. The 6-2 Duke Roufus-trained fighter will look to erase the questions about his resolve by putting an exclamation point on his record and a period on Kongo’s UFC career with a definitive win over the 15-6-2 Paris-born fighter.
1-2-1 in his last four outings, Kongo needs a win if he wants to remain employed by Zuffa, especially since the likelihood of getting picked up by Strikeforce is slim-to-none considering the purchase of the organization this weekend.
It’s a tough fight to pick considering both fighters have faced and beaten (or should have beaten) common opponents including Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, Dan Evensen.
One thing’s for sure:At least one guy is getting kicked in the legs and/or head.

I have a shity feeling that Kongo is gunna play it safe and show off his new (boring) wrestling skills. I mean if he was afraid to strike with Paul Buentello he ain’t gunna test his luck with Barry. The last two guys he actually tried to stand and trade with were Evenson and fucking Assuerio Silva.
