What goes up, must come down.
If you’re applying that saying to a mixed martial arts competition, when a human body is lifted off the ground, the result is usually violent.
At LFA 210 at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky., Steve Collins found himself defending an armbar in the first round of his 152-pound catchweight fight against Gaberial Brown. There are a few techniques available to fend off the limb submission, but Collins (5-0) opted for the most savage option.
Collins got his feet under him, and deadlifted Brown (4-3) high in the air, and then dropped him on his head, “Rampage” Jackson style. Brown appeared out cold from the impact with the canvas, but a few follow-up punches were landed before the referee could rush in to stop the fight.

Collins, 24, is building a fantastic start to his young career with three straight wins and two first-round finishes under the LFA banner. If he keeps things up, chances are he could land in the UFC soon.
