LeRoy Johnson was down for a scary-long time after taking faceplant KO at PFL 7
The first fight of the night at PFL 7 featured one of the best – and scariest – knockouts of the month.
Muhammed DeReese (6-0) put LeRoy Johnson (8-3) down and out in absolutely vicious fashion courtesy of a perfectly placed knee strike in the opening round of their light heavyweight bout at PFL 7, which took place at Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
