Landing knees in MMA in certain positions is a big risk that fighters themselves take during their performances. In Ultimate, even, Petr yan has already lost the bantamweight title (up to 61,2kg) to aljamain sterling. And, at Showcase MMA 23, Brandon Calton felt the same 'bitter taste'.

Now, Calton had the same lapse of inattention as Yan and delivered a brutal hard knee to Fulwood-Jones. The fight could have been stopped due to disqualification, but both fighters decided to continue the fight, with Brandon losing just one point.

Soon afterwards, however, Jones managed to turn things around. The athlete was not shaken by the blow he suffered, he continued at an aggressive pace and managed to knock out his opponent with a sequence of crosses and direct strikes. His record now has five wins and four losses in his career.
