Sean Gannon is an American police officer, and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He gained notoriety on the Internet due to a widely distributed video of Gannon defeating Kimbo Slice in an unsanctioned bare-knuckle street fight.
Gannon beat Kimbo Slice in his widely spread internet ‘street fight’ videos. The fight took place inside the Mat Santos Fighting Academy in Cranston, Rhode Island and was the first time Slice took a street fight outside of his native Florida. Gannon was proclaimed the victor after Slice could not answer a count of thirty after he was knocked down.
Notoriety from this fight led Gannon to be the focus of a front page article in the Boston Herald.[citation needed] The incident also caught the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, who then promoted a fight between Officer and professional mixed martial arts fighter Branden Lee Hinkle. Gannon lost to Hinkle by TKO in the first round. Gannon has a professional MMA record of 2-1.
He currently trains at the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Boston and is currently assigned to the prestigious Boston Regional Intelligence Center, an elite unit focused on drug/gang intel, as well as Homeland Security issues.[citation needed]
