TUF Alum and Funny Guy Blake Bownam Victorious in Pro Debut

Although the May 16 Legends of Fighting show will best be remembered for an already-legendary eight-second double-knockout, the event also marked the professional debut of "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra" cast member Blake Bowman.

Bowman, who entered the 2006 reality series as one of the cast's most inexperienced fighters, suffered a significant knee injury during a preliminary-round loss to Richie Hightower and was knocked out of the competition.

After a total ACL replacement and nine months of rehabilitation, Bowman returned at "LFC 25: Breaking Point" in Indianapolis this past Friday for a swift victory.

Facing fellow first-time pro Kevin Walker, Bowman floored his opponent with a head kick and followed with a left punch that prompted the TKO stoppage just eight seconds into the fight.

If you recall, Bowman was the subject of winner Mac Danzig's tirades saying Bowman doesn't take it seriously. Danzig was a total dick to Bowman and will get his one day.

Also, go on you tube and look up 'double knockout' and watch. Shonie Carter was guest referree and just about panicked. It's amazing.
