Mario Pinto made a significant impact on UFC fans with one of the most impressive knockouts seen in early 2025.
At UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday, Pinto, a Contender Series alumnus, faced Austen Lane, a former NFL player, in a featured preliminary bout. After a first round of adjustment, Pinto decisively defeated Lane with a combination, culminating in a powerful right hand that resulted in a knockout.
Pinto, representing London, now holds a perfect record of 10-0, including a first-round knockout victory against Lucas Camacho at DWCS last October, which earned him his UFC contract. At only 26 years old, Pinto has positioned himself as a promising contender in a division in need of rising stars.
As expected, fellow UFC fighters were highly impressed by this knockout, and their reactions to Pinto’s exceptional finish are worth noting.
