Anthony Johnson stuns Alexander Gustafsson; books title shot with Jon Jones
Anthony Johnson just violently upset the apple cart.
The ex-welterweight turned light heavyweight showed off his ridiculous one-hit quit power, absolutely destroying Alexander Gustafsson via first-round TKO.
"Rumble," after landing some heavy leather, floored Gustafsson with a stiff right hand and followed it up with some vicious, head-wobbling shots under the armpit.
Following the career-defining performance, Johnson took the time to politely call out UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones.
Johnson: "Jon Jones, I hope you get well, brother. Let's get this championship going, man. Make the crowds and the fans excited about this."

Jones, for his part, seemed impressed with the way Johnson easily handled his business on Saturday night.
Wow
