Walker said this to mirror.co.uk about his upcoming fight against Hill, “I want more than three fights. If I knock him out quickly, I want to fight as much as I can. The UFC is coming back to Rio; I think that could be in March, so let's see. I got a lot of experience from my last fight, it went five rounds and I wanted to see how I could come through that. I hurt my foot in the third round so I slowed down a bit, you never know what can happen fighting is unpredictable and you can hurt yourself doing your own technique. I haven't watched him much yet. I watched his last fight but that didn't show much. You have to be ready for everything; MMA is incredible because you can't really make a game plan because on the day of the fight everything could be different. I'm ready for anybody.”

UFC Picks

Walker has lost three of his last four fights, but there is no question he has excellent striking power, as he has 15 wins by KO or TKO. Hill doesn’t have as much overall experience, but he has looked good in his four UFC fights, winning three of the four. I don’t know that we know yet just how good Hill is but oddsmakers are giving him a lot of respect, as he is more than a 2-1 favorite in this fight. I know that I am not willing to lay that type of price against a fighter in Walker who has the ability to get the knockout. I think I’ll take a small shot on Walker and also play the rounds option. We know that Walker has excellent power and Hill has shown finishing ability, winning five times by KO or TKO. The rounds are listed at 1.5 so I will take the rounds to go under the total in addition to a small play on Walker at a price of almost 2-1.
