Edson Barboza’s spinning head kick knockout, Anderson Silva’s front leg kick knockout, Conor McGregor swift and precise left hand knock out against Jose Aldo, but this knockout is unique, to say the least. Former UFC veteran and the Ultimate Fighting Championship season 9 winner, Ross Pearson found himself on the wrong side of the knockout against Davy Gallon at Probellum 1 London.

Ross Pearson has fought some tough opponents in his UFC career including Jorge Masvidal, Paul Felder, and Dan Hooker. He used to compete in the lightweight division, however, he made his MMA return in featherweight division against Davy Gallon and that was nothing but detrimental to his performance inside the ring.
