UFC Live has a new main event after Nate Marquardt's 11th-hour withdrawal in Pittsburgh, and Pat Barry weighed in heavier than Cheick Kongo for Sunday's new showcase bout.

Marquardt was forced off the June 26 card after he failed to gain medical clearance, leaving Rick Story to fight Charlie Brenneman in a bout that has been dropped to co-main event status.

The main spotlight will now fall on Barry and Kongo, the latter of whom was once a heavyweight title contender before he got rag-dolled by now-champion Cain Velasquez.

Barry gives away around five inches in height and eight inches in reach, but he weighed in as the heavier man ahead of Sunday's contest.

Everybody else on the card, including England's Curt Warburton, made weight.
