Video: Watch Ross Pearson accidentally knock out a training partner

Ross Pearson co-headlines next month’s UFC Fight Night 42 event, and opponent Diego Sanchez (and an unfortunate training partner) got a good look at his current knockout partner.

Pearson had posted back-to-back TKO wins over George Sotiropoulos and Ryan Couture before a no-contest in October (due to an accidental illegal knee from opponent Melvin Guillard).

Although a knee injury has slowed his return, he looks to be in solid shape for his upcoming bout. Check out his power (and the cameraman’s evil laugh) from his training session at Britain’s NEVT in the video above.

And catch Pearson (15-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Sanchez (24-7 MMA, 13-7 UFC) in action on June 7 at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, N.M. Their bout co-headlines the FOX Sports 1-televised main card.
