Jimi Manuwa Left Hook Lights Up Corey Anderson in UFC Fight Night 107 Main Event

Jimi Manuwa borrowed a page from the Mark Hunt playbook.

“Poster Boy” shut down “The Ultimate Fighter 19” winner Corey Anderson with a walk-off left hook in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 107 “Manuwa vs. Anderson” headliner on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London. Manuwa (17-2, 6-2 UFC) finished it 3:05 into Round 1, winning for the third time in four fights while positioning himself for a possible title shot in the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division.

Anderson (9-3, 6-3 UFC) found himself trapped on the feet, as the Allstars Training Center rep stifled his bids for takedowns.
