The Saturday bout will be most memorable for the Canadian promotion MFC, Ryan Jimmo as
he knocked out his opponent Anthony Perosh in seven seconds at UFC 149 in Calgary on Saturday and that too during his debut bout. Just two calculated steps forward, heavy right punch and Perosh was licking the ground.
Jimmo followed up with a strike on the ground, but it wasn't needed. Referee Josh Rosenthal stopped the fight, and Jimmo's win streak was extended to 17. After the bout, Jimmo talked to commentator Joe Rogan: "I'm very happy, Joe. I'm very happy. He's a big strong guy, so I went at him."
UFC president Dana White was pleased with Jimmo's debut.
"WOW!!! Ryan Jimmo just tied the fastest KO in UFC history!" White tweeted.
Jimmo is now 17-1 and 1-0 in the UFC. Before fighting with the UFC, Jimmo showed why a fighter shouldn't give up after one loss. He was knocked out in his first fight, but has won 17 bouts since then. Though he was impressive in Canada, Jimmo was only known in the U.S. to the most fervent of fight fans, but now he will be known for a seven-second debut.
Perosh was on a three-fight win streak before ending up on the wrong end of an MMA record. He is now 13-7, and 3-2 in his most recent streak in the UFC.
