UFC FIGHT NIGHT 47: Gray Maynard vs Ross Pearson FULL FIGHT REPLAY VIDEO
After a highly-controversial decision loss to Diego Sanchez in his last fight in June, England’s Ross Pearson took the judges out of the equation in his co-main event bout against Gray Maynard, stopping the two-time title challenger in the second round.
“I’m ready for the best, bring it,” Pearson said. Both lightweights were able to have success with their striking in the opening two minutes of the
Maynard switched things up a bit with a quick takedown, but Pearson didn’t stay grounded long, and once he got up he tagged Maynard with a few hard shots to the head. With a minute left, Maynard got his second takedown, this time keeping his opponent down a little longer. Pearson did rise fairly quickly though, scoring with some kicks before the horn.
The nip and tuck action continued into round two, but Pearson broke things open soon enough, hurting Maynard with a short right and then dropping his opponent with a left-right. The follow-up barrage of strikes brought in referee Keith Peterson to stop the fight at the 1:35 mark.
With the win, Pearson improves to 18-7 with 1 NC; Maynard, who has lost three straight, all by knockout, falls to 12-5-1 with 1 NC.
