The illustrated man of the UFC lightweight division was in sublime form at UFC 185 on Saturday.
Pearson came into his bout against Sam Stout in Texas with a point to prove following the pummelling he received at the hands of Al Iaquinta in his last trip to the Octagon.
The British fighter more than lived up to his moniker "The Real Deal" as he annihilated Stout with a devastating left hook in the second round. Stout fell backwards to the canvas like a ton of bricks and the referee was left with no option but to intervene and award Pearson the KO victory.
The brutal haymaker also earned Pearson a lucrative Performance of the Night bonus.
