The Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran retired from MMA after his knockout loss to Desmond Green at UFC on ESPN 2 in Philadelphia on March 30. Now, he will turn his attention to professional boxing, where he made his debut in Australia on Wednesday.
It proved to be a success, as Pearson earned a second-round technical knockout of Salar King (5-11) in a middleweight bout, giving him a triumphant debut in the Sweet Science.
