On Saturday, lightweight Jordan Leavitt kept his undefeated record intact when he knocked out veteran Matt Wiman via a vicious slam inside 22 seconds. Wiman’s head hit the canvas hard, immediately turning his lights out.
Leavitt was happy with his victory, but he also recognizes the ugly nature of the slam as a legal move in MMA. He is also perfectly fine with its banning in case the powers that be decide to do so in the future.
“I feel like the sport would be a much safer, artful thing if slams like that weren’t allowed,” Leavitt told TMZ Sports.
