Jamahal Hill and Johnny Walker headlined the UFC Vegas 48 fight card as the original main event between Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev was postponed to UFC 272. It was an enormous opportunity for both light heavyweights, but it was Hill who cashed in.
‘Sweet Dreams’ literally put his Dublin-based opponent, Walker, to sleep with a powerful right hand in the first round of their bout. The light-heavyweight clash between the #10 and #12 ranked fighters gave UFC fans the first main event knockout of the year. And fight fans were more than happy with the display.
