LAS VEGAS – Johnny Walker did it again, this time stopping Misha Cirkunov for his third straight first-round UFC win.
The light heavyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC 235 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on ESPN following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on pay-per-view.
Walker (17-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) rushed to the center to start the contest and pumped a few fakes to gauge his opponent’s reactions. As Cirkunov (14-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) tried to feel him out and advance, Walker launched into a flying knee that landed clean and sent his opponent to the canvas. Walker jumped on top with battering punches to a covering opponent, and the contest was waved off at the 36-second mark of the round.
Afterward, a post-fight celebration saw Walker fall forward on the canvas and apparently injure his left shoulder.
