Somebody better go get that guy’s chin from the back row…
Going down in London as we speak, UFC Fight Night 107 is off to a banging start. Although two fights were cancelled from the event today, there’s still plenty on offer.
Featuring hometown favourite Jimi Manuwa against Corey Anderson in the main event, UFC London is actually a solid card. Albeit without a pay-per-view line up, UFC Fight Night 107 is proving to be very entertaining.
The Knockout
As is normal with cards outside the USA, UFC London features a host of homegrown talent. Taking place on the prelims was Marc Diakiese, a right English prospect, against talented grappler Teemu Packalen.
Coming out hunting for the kill, Diakiese pulled out some spectacular moves. Spinning kicks to the body led to an opening up top, and what a finish it was. With the first punch of the fight came one of the hardest single shots ever landed.
