Mario Pinto made a memorable entrance into the UFC, delivering one of the most impressive knockouts seen in early 2025.
At UFC Vegas 103, Pinto faced Austen Lane, another fighter from the Contender Series and former NFL player. In the featured preliminary bout, after a first round of finding his rhythm, Pinto unleashed a powerful combination. The finish came with a brutal right hand that left Lane unconscious.
Pinto, representing London and now boasting a perfect 10-0 record, including a previous knockout win on DWCS to earn his UFC contract last October, is quickly establishing himself as a prospect to watch. At only 26 years old, he is poised to become a significant figure in a division hungry for new talent.
