UFC Fight Night (2/22/25) Walker lost a three round split decision to Alonzo Menifield

Biggest difference in training for this fight? It’s been the same as my last few fights; just trying to push as hard as I can.

What professional titles have you held? Synergy FC 205 title, Peak FC 205 title.

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? MMAXFC 205 champ, Fight Hard MMA 265 champ.

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? BJJ purple belt

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Nyle Bartling. His wrestling presented a tougher stylistic matchup than any of my other opponents, but I was able to overcome it because he gassed out.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Nick Diaz. I found him super cool as a kid and he got me into fighting.

Personal Life / Background: I enjoy basketball and soccer, and I’m a LA Lakers and Everton FC fan. I played basketball in college at Drury University and in high school I was an all-state basketball and soccer player and set my high school Greenwood Laboratory School’s all-time scoring record with 2,235 points. I have a beautiful wife named Paige and two beautiful daughters named Rainy and Josie.
