UFC 244: Watch the moment Johnny Walker get brutally TKO'd by Corey Anderson
Johnny Walker locked horns with Corey Anderson in the final UFC 244 prelim.
To say Johnny Walker's coming out party in New York didn't go to plan would be a massive understatement.
The Brazilian locked horns with light-heavyweight standout Corey Anderson in the final preliminary fight of UFC 244 in New York.
Many expected the in-form Walker to make light work of the Anderson, who himself was in a rich vein of form.
Anderson, however, had other ideas upsetting the Brazilian in the first round of their 205lb clash.
After hurting Walker with a big right hand, Anderson stuck to the former male stripper like glue, unleashing wave after wave of well-placed punches.
Eventually, Walker succumbed to the strikes, which prompted the referee to stop the bout.
