In one of the weirder looking fights in the UFC, the 6-foot-11 Stefan Struve submitted the 5-foot-11 Pat Barry in the co-main event of the UFC on Versus 6 in Washington, D.C., on Saturday evening. The fight started slow but had an exciting finish.
The two felt each other out for more than two minutes before truly engaging in the first round. With the unusual height difference, it was understandable, but not exactly exciting. Struve used a push kick to keep Barry from closing the distance, and while Barry did land a head kick and punch combinations. Neither fighter decisively took the round.
Early in the second round, Barry wobbled Struve with an uppercut then followed up with a head kick and leg kicks. Struve took Barry down, and tried to first grab a guillotine. He couldn't finish it, but as Barry got his head out of the choke, Struve transitioned into a triangle choke. Barry stood up with Struve still attached and slammed Struve onto his back, but that only tightened to choke. Barry was forced to tap at 3:22 in the second round.
This win puts Struve at 22-5, while Barry experienced his second exciting loss -- if there can be such a thing -- in a row. In his last fight, Barry was KOed by Cheick Kongo while being on the brink of winning by TKO. Barry, who started with a career in kickboxing, falls to 6-4.

UFC on Versus had a bizarre moment on the undercard. In his bloody bout with Keith Wisniewski, Josh Neer's mouthpiece was knocked out, which is not a rare occurrence. With the two fighters standing near the fence, Neer's black, small mouthpiece went tumbling off the canvas, then down between the fence and the canvas. The fight was stopped as officials attempted to fish out the mouthpiece, a required piece of equipment.
When referee Dan Miragliotta was able to extract the mouthpiece, Neer put it back in his mouth without washing it off. UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg said that this was the first time they had ever seen an incident like that.
Josh Koscheck finally got Matt Hughes. It's a fight he wanted two or three years ago, but claims Hughes ducked him and all of his American Kickboxing Academy teammates (Jon Fitch and Mike Swick). Now Koscheck wants a piece of Hughes' hide for what he calls a lack of respect.
"Matt Hughes definitely disrespected me when he called me a kid. I'm a lot younger than him, I'm a lot faster and a lot stronger, I'm a better fighter than him," Koscheck said of the 38-year-old Hughes. "The new kid on the block is going to come up and take out the old man."
Aside from personal reasons, Koscheck. 33, thinks this is a fight that fans have been yearning for:
"Fighting Matt Hughes is a good comeback fight for me," he said. "I think the fans deserved this fight a long time ago, and now we're getting the opportunity to do it," said Koscheck.
Check out ProMMARadio's Larry Pepe and Damon Martin from MMAWeekly as we break down the fight on RawVegas.tv using the Las Vegas betting odds. Koscheck is a minus-600 favorite, while Hughes fetches plus-400 as an underdog.
