Sean Gannon (fighter)

Sean "The Cannon" Gannon is a Boston, Massachusetts police officer, and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, who gained notoriety on the Internet due to a widely distributed video of Gannon defeating Kimbo Slice in an unsanctioned bare-knuckle street fight.

This notoriety lead him to be the focus of a front page article on the Boston Herald, and an internal Boston Police investigation into his off-hours activities. The incident also caught the attention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, who then promoted a fight between him and professional mixed martial arts fighter Branden Lee Hinkle. Gannon lost to Hinkle by TKO in the first round. Currently, Gannon has an amateur MMA record of 4-1 and has a professional MMA record of 2-1. He hasn't fought since losing to Hinkle in 2005.

He currently trains at Sityodtong Mixed Martial Arts in Somerville, Massachusetts.
