Renan Fereira has proven he’s more than just an aggressive knockout artist.
The Brazilian 6ft8in squared off with Stuart Austin at the undercard event of a PFL in Hollywood, Florida.
Renan Ferreira‘s opponent entered the bout with a high-profile win on his 16-4 pro MMA record.
Austin was first to defeat Tom Aspinall. The current UFC heavyweight champ tapped after being caught by a heel hook in their fight as heavyweight prospect back in June 2015.

Renan Ferreira – The merciful KO Artist
Renan Ferreira looked easy when he defeated Tom Aspinall – the only person with a legitimate victory over him. His two other MMA losses were due to DQs and injuries.
Stuart Austin didn’t even get the chance to throw a single shot before he was brutally knocked out.
Ferreira started with a series of low leg kicks, followed by a kick to the front of his English opponent’s body.
After 28 second, the Brazilian launched in with a jab followed by a follow-up right arm to put Austin to bed.
Ferreira pushed his opponent down to the ground and aimed a brutal follow-up shot.
He was merciful and held back until Keith Peterson, the referee, dived in between them to end the fight within 31 seconds.
Footage of their fight has since been shared on YouTube, where fans have commented on Ferreira’s kindness as much as his KO power.
