Grant withdraws from UFC on Versus 4, fight with Charlie Brenneman 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.〔 However, 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, stepped in to fight Rick Story, while the Pat Barry vs. Cheick Kongo fight was promoted to the main event. Dana White subsequently announced that Marquardt would be cut from the UFC due to the seriousness of the failed medical clearance but because of Pennsylvania health privacy laws, White could not disclose the specifics of the case 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 faced Daniel Roberts.〔 The entire preliminary card was streamed on Facebook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UFC on Versus 4 preliminary card to stream on Facebook preliminary-card bouts )〕 The event drew an estimated 744,000 viewers on Versus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Versus Broadcast of UFC Live 4 Nets 744,000 Viewers )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
