UFC Live: Kongo vs Barry Live Stream is an upcoming mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on June 26, 2011, at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The event will broadcast on Versus in the U.S. and will broadcast on Rogers Sportsnet in Canada.
This will be the fourth live UFC card to appear on Versus.
Matthew Riddle was expected to face TJ Grant, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Charlie Brenneman. However, just days before the event Grant was forced from the card due to an unknown illness. Without proper time to find a replacement the bout was scrapped.
Anthony Johnson was expected to face Nate Marquardt in the main event, but was forced from the bout with a rotator cuff injury and replaced by Rick Story.
Martin Kampmann was expected to face John Howard, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Matt Brown. Brown's original opponent Rich Attonito will face Daniel Roberts.
The entire preliminary card will be streamed on Facebook.
Nate Marquardt did not receive medical clearance the day of the weigh-ins and therefore pulled out of the main event. Charlie Brenneman, whose earlier bout with TJ Grant was removed from the card, will step in to face Rick Story, while the Pat Barry vs. Cheick Kongo fight will now be the main event. Dana White subsequently announced that Marquardt would be cut from the UFC .
