Fighters that move to Tristar to make a change usually perform differently and better. Look foward to walker coming up

Johnny Walker is wild and unpredictable but does he have the chin he needs?

It’s weird without a crowd. You can hear how hard Walker is breathing. #UFCBrasilia

I was not expecting that fight to go the distance of all the fights on tonight’s card
Great win for Krylov though coming in with a smart gameplan to nullify the range and explosiveness of Walker. #UFCBrasília
