The UFC light heavyweight division found its next No. 1 contender on Saturday when Anthony Johnson scored a shocking first-round knockout of Alexander Gustafsson in UFC on FOX 14’s headliner.

“Rumble” had the opportunity to compete in front of more than 26,000 fans in Gustafsson’s (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) hometown of Stockholm, but he didn’t give them the result they wanted. Johnson’s power punching made the difference as he played spoiler en route to his decision win.

After being cut from UFC two years ago for his inability to consistently make weight, Johnson (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has returned to the organization at 205 pounds and looked unstoppable since. He’ll now challenge longtime titleholder Jon Jones and look to complete one of the most remarkable career turnaround in the sport’s history.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Johnson’s victory over Gustafsson at UFC on FOX 14.
