In a surprising turn of events, light heavyweight Johnny Walker did score another first-round finish, but it was not a knockout. At UFC 279’s first main card bout, the Brazilian submitted Ion Cutelaba in the last seconds of the first round, which surprised most pundits. On Twitter, professional fighters reacted to the match.
