UFC Vegas 48 full fight video highlights: Jamahal Hill devastates Johnny Walker with KO

The UFC Vegas 48 main event was the setting where the promotion’s #12 rated light heavyweight, Jamahal Hill, viciously knocked out the #10 rated, Johnny Walker, in the opening round.

The fighters were throwing kicks at one another right away, but it wasn’t long after the punches started flying that Walker was put to sleep. It was an overhand right to the temple that sent Walker falling backwards in an almost cartoonish fashion. Then, Hill brought down the hammer with one devastating ground strike that put a savage cherry on the top.

Hill has always been a dangerous competitor, and now he’s doing it at a higher level. The sky seems to be the limit for this 30-year-old, who should break the top-10 with this victory.
