Jamahal Hill made quick work of Johnny Walker in their light heavyweight bout Saturday night, recording a first-round knockout at the UFC Fight Night main event at Las Vegas.
Hill connected on an overhand right to Walker’s temple at 2:55 of the opening round. Hill landed another with Walker on the deck before the referee stepped in.
“It’s time to start having a different kind of conversation, because y’all are asking the wrong questions,” Hill said in his postfight interview. “Where’s he going next? How good am I for real?”
