Harris, 37, pulled off something similar in the UFC back in 2010 when he knocked out David Branch with a body slam. Harris went 3-1 in the UFC, but was cut after his lone loss. He then spent a few years in various promotions before announcing his retirement in April 2014. He last fought in August 2013.
