James Irvin is a professional mixed martial arts fighter widely known for previously holding the record for fastest knockout in UFC history. The record came after knocking out Houston Alexander in only eight seconds of the first round in their fight at UFC Fight Night 13 in 2008. The record has since been broken by former UFC heavyweight Todd Duffee when he knocked out Tim Hague in only seven seconds at UFC 102.
