MMA fighter Tywan Claxton brutally knocks out opponent with flying knee on professional debut

TYWAN CLAXTON kicked off his professional career in sublime style at the Bellator 186 event.

The featherweight annihilated Johnny Bonilla-Bowman in the first round with an incrediby flying knee knockout.

Just short of 90 seconds into his debut, the American leaped into the air, grabbed Bonilla-Bowman’s head and threw a huge left knee.

He knew the fight was over and began his celebrations, before the referee jumped in to bring the bout to an end.

The ‘Bellator’ was unsurprisingly left out cold on the canvas.

It took him nearly two minutes to come back around, before being helped out of the cage by his team.

Claxton, who is nicknamed Speedy, now has one professional victory under his belt in the featherweight division.

He holds an amateur record of seven wins, 0 losses and 0 draws.
