Jamahal Hill wasn’t originally supposed to be in a headlining bout at UFC Fight Night 202, but he didn’t let the transition to a potential five-round affair affect him.
As it turned out, “Sweet Dreams” didn’t need to go into deep waters. Hill authored an emphatic finish on Saturday night, knocking out Johnny Walker with an overhand right — and one follow-up blow — 2:55 into the first round of their light heavyweight feature at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
“I just treated it like the fight hadn’t changed,” Hill said at Saturday’s post-fight press conference.
