Corey Anderson is ANGRY! Knocks out Johnny Walker in the first round. Steam rolls him. And then yells at Walker and other sitting cageside. Anderson has had a huge chip on his shoulder allllll year. Looking forward to talking to him after that amazing performance.

Walker is all explosive offensive, with very little defense. This loss will force him to adjust his style. Nice composure by Anderson leading up to the finish. #ufc244
