Entering UFC Vegas 48, fight fans struggled to see a scenario where Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill reached the judges’ scorecards in the main event.
Walker was looking to bounce from his disappointing decision loss to Thiago, while Jamahal Hill was hoping for a better result in the knockout of Jimmy Crute. Fireworks were nearly guaranteed when these two light heavyweights clashed.
Spoiler Alert: They delivered.
Hill managed to put Walker to bed early in the first frame.
See how other fighters responded to Hill’s highlights-reel knockout. Also, see the whole UFC APEX action.
