The MMA world was introduced to one scary fighter in Bellator 186, with Tywan Claxton making quite the impression on debut.

On the preliminary card, Claxton, 24, stunned audiences watching worldwide when he delivered a perfectly timed flying knee to knockout opponent Johnny Bonilla-Bowman in the first round at Bryce Jordan Center.

The featherweight rookie left Bonilla-Bowman seeing stars less than two minutes into the fight.

It was so clear the devastation he had caused to Bonilla-Bowman that Claxton didn't even need to throw another punch after the hit. The ref called the fight immediately and Claxton ran away to leap over the cage barrier to celebrate his maiden victory. 

Surely won't be long before the kid is in the UFC if he keeps ending fights like this.
