3. One shot, one kill: Jimi Manuwa knocks out Corey Anderson
English fans eagerly wait for the UFC to make their trip to London each year. At the top of the bill in 2017 was a light heavyweight matchup between knockout artist [autotag]Jimi Manuwa[/autotag] and “Ultimate Fighter” winner Corey Anderson.
And while the fans initially had their doubt about the card, Manuwa made sure to leave them with a memorable performance.
Looking to land his powerful left hand, Manuwa pressured Anderson right out the gate, easily stuffing his first takedown attempt. After a few minutes stalking Anderson, Manuwa backed him up against the fence, tagging him with a perfect left hook. One shot, one kill, and they don’t call him the “Posterboy” for nothing.
Manuwa was able to redeem himself after his first UFC headliner at home, where he suffered a second-round TKO loss to Alexander Gustafsson in 2014. Gustafsson later became his teammate and was even in his corner for his win over Anderson.
