Jimi Manuwa made a huge impression in his main event KO victory over Corey Anderson at the O2 in London on Saturday night.
The spectacular “Poster Boy” walk-off KO over The Ultimate Fighter Season 19 winner Anderson sent observers running to twitter following Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 107 headliner at The O2 in London.
The Brit’s powerful first-round knockout certainly helped his case in putting himself in the reckoning for a title shot between the winner of Daniel Cormier and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 210. Jimi Manuwa also channelled his inner Conor McGregor, by calling out Britain’s former (boxing) heavyweight champion of the world David Haye, in bizarre fashion.

Shit man. I thought Corey was gonna get him down a few times & diminish that power a bit. Feinted the hook low & came over the top perfectly
