Fans loved Jimi Manuwa’s devastating KO of OSP…but his dab celebration divided opinion

By the time Jimi Manuwa and Ovince Saint Preux took to the Octagon at UFC 204, fans were pretty tired.

The decision to keep the running order on American time in order to accommodate the pay-per-view audience meant that the pair faced off at around 4am local time. London bantamweight Brad Pickett cited the late-night kick-off as a factor in his first-round defeat to Iuri Alcantara, but Manuwa showed no signs of fatigue as he put on a clinic in his fight with OSP. 'Poster Boy' dominated proceedings and scored a devastating KO in the second round after tiring his opponent out. A combination of clean head shots and powerful body blows took down OSP, and prevented Manuwa from recording consecutive defeats for the first time in his career. You couldn't help but be impressed by the London-based fighter who sent a message to the rest of the light heavyweight division with his cool dismantling of Saint Preux. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/784953606227230720 https://twitter.com/travisbarker/status/784956847585239040 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/784954414859685888 https://twitter.com/SandhuMMA/status/784954008062529536 https://twitter.com/Patrick_Wyman/status/784953836247003136 https://twitter.com/SeanSheehanBA/status/784953690868346880 The 36-year-old had won over any neutrals who had somehow not heard of him already with such an astonishing performance. After such an impressive display, Manuwa had goodwill to burn. All he had to do was stick the landing and not immediately piss everyone off. https://twitter.com/knowyourharry/status/784954897158504448 Still, there were plenty who enjoyed the playful side of the California-born fighter. https://twitter.com/JarrenAlexander/status/784954954851155970 https://twitter.com/MalloryForever/status/784955565084639232 https://twitter.com/JordanHawkins99/status/784954670716452870 Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live:
