How Walker secured victory

The lanky Brazilian tried to land a high kick which Craig caught and attempted to use to get Walker to the ground. Despite being on one leg, Walker managed to use long arms to still land blow after blow, dropping Craig to the ground.

Craig still had hold of Walker’s leg but couldn’t cover up properly from the shots and the referee eventually stepped in.

Andrade makes history

Jessica Andrade continued the impressive Brazilian showing when she dominated Lauren Murphy in the Octagon. Andrade looked the best she’s ever been as she won every round on the judges’ scorecards. Many felt the fight should have been stopped before the final round as Murphy’s face took a beating. Andrade also tied Amanda Nunes for the most wins by a woman in the UFC at 15.
