Jimi Manuwa Made Corey Anderson Fall Stiff With A Walk Off One-Punch Knockout

Jimi Manuwa is horrifying. Even at 37-years-old, when you’re in the Octagon with him, you have to mentally prepare yourself for either a long, long night trying to take him down, or you need to make your peace with the fact that you will be unconscious in due time and those cage side will lose their minds at your demise. Look at Dan Hardy:

Let’s look and Anderson fall to the mat again, consciousness completely obliterated by the heaviest hands in London. Incredible.

After the destruction, Manuwa called out the winner of Cormier/Johnson 2, which goes down at UFC 210 in April. Rumble Johnson knocked out Manuwa at UFC 191 in 2015, but Johnson knocks out everyone. No one is holding that against Manuwa. If Johnson can get a rematch against Cormier for the title, Manuwa absolutely deserves the next shot at the belt.

Unless he rematches Alexander Gustafsson, who defeated Manuwa back in 2014 with brutal knees to the dome. Damn, this top 4 of the UFC light heavyweight division is just nasty. And that’s without Jon Jones in the mix.

Let’s consider what’s next for the division as we watch more Manuwa highlights. It’s the only thing that’ll satisfy right now.
