UFC 244: 5 moments from the event which you should have seen - KO of the year; immunity to submissions

#3: Corey Anderson's KO of Johnny Walker

UFC 244 was a completely stacked card. This cannot be made more evident than simply by looking at the fight that could not even make it to the main card.

Heading up the preliminary fights of the night was the young newcomer to the UFC who has attracted everyone's attention, including Jon Jones'. Johnny Walker was on the card, facing none other than Corey Anderson.

Walker had been incredible in the UFC so far, with KO defeats and being undefeated in the promotion. He was being touted as the person who would eventually go on to defeat Jon Jones.

Unfortunately for him, his hype train came to a sudden stop at the station of Corey Anderson. In the very first round of their fight, he dropped Walker twice, with the latter running away from him. The referee had to step in and stop the fight.

This fight was unfortunately not seen by a lot of people as it had been on the preliminary card, but it was extremely significant as it means that Walker is no longer one of the top up-and-coming names in the promotion anymore.
