Claxton opens up on brutal KO

"I think it was dope, it was cool, the first couple of months that it was out; seeing it on ESPN and all the different places made all the beatings I took with Blackzillians worth it.

"But that's in the past for me now. I want to be known as more than a one trick pony.

"[In Bellator] you got good strikers, good grapplers, good jiu-jitsu practitioners, but I'm a good MMA Fighter."

Tywan Claxton's fledgling career 

After his win over Bowman, Claxton went on to win four fights in a row before losing to Emmanuel Sanchez in 2019.

The 28-year-old's last two bouts ended in defeat with the most recent one coming against Justin Gonzales at Bellator 260 in June.

Things have not being going well for Claxton lately after he was released by the company in July of this year.

So, by the looks of it, there's a good chance that he will only be remembered only for his flying knee against Bowman.
