UFC Returns To Las Vegas, Johnny Walker-Jamahal Hill Fight

Light heavyweights Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill headline UFC Fight Night Saturday.

After a week in Houston, the Octagon returns to Las Vegas and the UFC Apex. The entire card streams live on ESPN+.

Along with the Walker vs. Hill contest, Kyle Daukaus and Jamie Pickett collide at a catchweight. 

Parker Porter vs. Alan Baudot, Jim Miller vs. Nikolas Motta and Joaquin Buckley vs. Abdul Razak Alhassan are also set.

Walker took the UFC by storm in 2018 with a string of four consecutive wins. His TKO finishes of Justin Ledet and Misha Cirkunov were the highlights. 

Since, though, he has gone just 1-3 with losses to Thiago Santos, Nikita Krylov and Corey Anderson. Walker did record a first round finish of Ryan Spann in September 2020.

Hill has gone 2-1 with a no-contest over his last four after starting out 7-0 overall. Five of his wins have been finishes, including a December knockout of Jimmy Crute in 48 seconds. That performance won him a bonus. 

Other planned fights include Jessica-Rose Clark vs. Stephanie Egger and Chas Skelly vs. Mark Striegl on the prelims.
