Charles Johnson defied the odds at UFC Shanghai, scoring a highlight-reel knockout against Lone’er Kavanagh.
After getting throughout outclassed on his feet during the opening round, Johnson looked to take things to the mat in the second stanza. Unfortunately for him, Kavanagh appeared to have his number on the mat, reversing positions and nearly cinching in a guillotine choke not once, but twice.
But Johnson is the kind of fighter you can never count out until the final bell.
In the second half of the second round, Johnson pushed the pace and landed a lunging right hand that sent Kavanagh crashing to the canvas. A few unnecessary ground and pound shots later, the referee called for the stoppage.
