UFC Fight Night 260 video: 'Battle Giraffe' Cam Rowston TKOs Andre Petroski quickly

Cam Rowston entered the UFC middleweight division in style Saturday in Perth.

On the UFC Fight Night 260 undercard, Rowston (13-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made quick work of seasoned veteran Andre Petroski (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) with a TKO stoppage at the 2:41 mark of Round 1 at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.

The lengthy Rowston dropped Petroski with a short left hand. Petroski briefly threatened an armbar but was met with more ground-and-pound punches that eventually were enough for referee Steve Perceval to stop the fight.

Rowston then hit a John Cena-esque celebration and pulled off a hyped UFC promo on the microphone, much to the delight of one of his training partner Israel Adesanya who was cageside.
