Knockout! Watch Tom Lawlor's 'Filthy' one punch finish of Gian Villante at UFC on FOX 16

What a shot!

After a two-year sabbatical, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor returned to the Octagon on Saturday night (July 25, 2015) with a bang, knocking out rising prospect Gian Villante in their "Prelims" main event bout on FOX with a thunderous right hand just 27 seconds into the second round.

Check out the ferocious haymaker that sent the United Center crowd in Chicago, Ill., into a frenzy in the highlight above.

Prior to knockout, Lawlor was getting styled on by Villante, and seemed well on his way to a decision loss.

A massive underdog coming in, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) veteran was moving up to Light Heavyweight to take on Chris Weidman's No.
