Hangs tough in debut loss
Light HeavyweightUFC
February 22, 2025
Walker lost to Alonzo Menifield via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
By the numbers, this was the most even fight you will ever see. Walker closed with a 114-113 edge in total strikes landed, while Menifield led 87-86 in those deemed "significant." Walker, making his UFC debut, attempted to get his ground game going, but was only able to land 1-of-9 takedown attempts. His 5:31 worth of control time was primarily pinning Menifield along the cage. Walker looked inexperienced, as to be expected from a guy in his seventh professional fight. His gas tank was also poor. The good news is that these are all correctable issues. There's most certainly the foundation of a solid fighter here. There were some immediate dividends, as both combatants were awarded $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus after the show.

UFC debut scheduled
Light HeavyweightUFC
February 13, 2025
Walker will take on Alonzo Menifield in a light heavyweight bout at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker is a perfect 6-0 in his pro MMA career, but will now make his UFC debut against a highly experienced fighter in Menifield, who boasts an 8-5-1 UFC record. The latter will certainly be desperate for a win, coming off two straight losses. Walker, however, has four inches of height and five inches of reach on his opponent.
