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 a brutal TKO which left Gannon's face in a bloody mess 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.^{[citation needed]}

Sean Gannon has been called out by Kimbo Slice to a rematch. Kimbo says that "I would literally give my left nut, but I wouldn't tell nobody, to fight this guy again. Cause this fight is owed to me, just for the simple fact of how the fight went down. Now that I know what I know it's only fair that he sign with Showtime and we make this shit happen. It's only fair. If he duttin do it, Gannon you a bitch. I'm callin' you out, lets do this. Sign the contract, stop bitching, lets run it"^{[citation needed]}

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