Cheick Kongo (25-10-2) is a French kickboxer and MMA fighter, with multiple world titles in the sport of kickboxing. Kongo is also the Bellator season 9 Heavyweight tournament winner, with an MMA base of kick-boxing, wrestling and savate.

Pat ‘HD’ Barry (8-7) is an American kickboxer and former Wushu world champion. Barry’s MMA base is wushu, sanshou and kick-boxing.

Kongo faced Barry in June of 2011. They started off by trading leg kicks after which Barry caught Kongo with a huge right hook to the dome, knocking the Frenchman down. Barry swarmed Kongo with a seemingly endless volley of strikes.

Kongo got up only to be knocked down again, after which he held on to Barry for dear life. Then inexplicably, Kongo managed one last swing at glory, tagging his opponent with a huge right uppercut. He followed that up with another right, and the fight was over in an instant.

To this date, Kongo’s dazed exchange with ‘HD’ is considered to be one of the wildest sequences in MMA history.
