If you missed it live, you really need to click play on the above video and you may also need to watch it on repeat. That's because it only lasts 44 seconds and features Anthony Johnson viciously knocking out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in the co-headlining attraction of tonight's (Sat., July 26, 2014) UFC on Fox 12: "Lawler vs. Brown" event at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. As you can see -- over and over thanks to the magic of video -- Johnson blitzed and bombed his Brazilian foe, firmly establishing himself in his new digs at 205-pounds. He's certainly a long ways away from hanging with the likes of Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, even if the latter joked about fighting "Rumble" on the post-show, but if Johnson keeps turning in performances like this he'll be knocking on the door before we know it. Anyone hoping that will come sooner rather than later?
