Johnny Walker vs Jamahal Hill promises to be a cracker of a fight for UFC Fight Night in February 

Johnny Walker burst onto the scene with four straight wins to his name. Three of the four wins came via knockout, which skyrocketed his popularity among UFC fans. However, since then, Walker has had a tough time in the UFC. The Brazilian knockout artist has lost three of his last four fights. Hist most recent outing was a unanimous decision loss to former title challenger Thiago Santos in October 2021. 

Hill, on the other hand, has a much better record going into the fight. He has won two of his last three fights. His most recent win was a jaw-dropping knockout win over Jimmy Crute in December 2021. 

Going into the fight, Walker will have a two-inch height advantage and a massive three-inch reach advantage. There is no secret that both men will be looking to keep the fight on the feet given that is where they’re the strongest. 

Hill has landed 7.45 significant strikes per minute in his UFC career whilst absorbing just 3.68 in return. Walker, on the other hand, has landed 3.42 significant strikes per minute whilst absorbing 2.81 in return. It will be interesting to see which fighter is able to land more of their offense without receiving much damage. It is hard to imagine this fight going the distance either.
