Jimi Manuwa continued his run of destruction through the UFC's light heavyweight division in the main event of UFC Fight Night 107.
Stepping into the Octagon in front of his hometown of London opposite The Ultimate Fighter 19 winner Corey Anderson, the heavy handed Manuwa had murder in his eyes right out of the gate.
With his Anderson sticking to the outside, looking to land the counter strike, Manuwa remained calm as he stalked his opponent across the canvas with left hand loaded and ready to fire. After setting the pace early on, Manuwa made sure Anderson respected his power as he ducked in and unloaded a powerful left hook to the body before following up with a left high kick.
After defending a series series takedown attempt, Manuwa finally saw an opening and plastered a devastating left hook across the skull of Anderson, sending him crumpling to the canvas. With his opponent's eyes in the back of his head, Manuwa turned and walked away, giving him his 15th career knockout victory.
With the crowd erupting around him, Manuwa took advantage of his time on mic to call out the winner of the upcoming title fight between Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 and British champion David Haye.
