Johnny Walker Vs. Nikita Krylov
Round 1: Weβve had a string of decisions to begin the event, but with two knockout artists in the light heavyweight division, that could change. Walker with a front-kick right off the bat and tries to land some kind of flying knee-jab combination. Krylov has enough of that and clinches. The big men are throwing and rattle the cage. Krylov trying for the takedown and he gets it, dragging him down with him.

Round 2: Takedown moments in by Krylov as he eats a couple elbows and maintains control. Krylov all over Walker in his guard, throwing up a triangle but he is on the wrong side for it and exhausted. You can see the wear of this fight, with over two minutes left in the round, hitting Walker hard. With just over a minute to go, Walker flips and switch and takes control. Nice little scramble with Walker getting the better of it at the end.

Walker in side control and moves to the mount with three minutes to work, but Krylov scrambles and winds up on top. After securing control, Krylov lands with nasty, nasty elbows.
