Walker (21-9 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since suffering a knockout loss to Magomed Ankalaev this past January. That setback had snapped a three-fight winning streak for the Brazilian, who had previously scored victories over Ion Cutelaba, Paul Craig and Anthony Smith.

Meanwhile, Volkan Oezdemir (20-7 MMA) entered the Octagon looking to build off his submission win over Bogdan Guskov from last September. ‘No Time’ had gone 2-3 over his past five fights overall.

Tonight’s ‘Walker vs. Oezdemir’ matchup did not make it out of the opening round. ‘No Time’ was able to drop Johnny with a big left hand in the opening two minutes and proceeded to fold him again just seconds later with a big right. Volkan followed up with a big shot on the ground that put Johnny Walker out cold in brutal fashion (see that here).
