UFC FIGHT NIGHT: WALKER VS HILL aired live in Asia on Sunday, February 20 from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The entertaining card delivered not only the promised striker's delight main event, it gave wrestling and grappling fans a heap of fun fights.

Light heavyweight contenders #10 Johnny Walker and #12 Jamahal Hill came out by throwing everything they had at each other. Hill was the man to get the job done quickly and in spectacular fashion with a right hand that KOed Walker on his feet. After the first round KO, Hill said,

"I feel great. I just wanted to come out here and show myself again, and show what I can do. It's time to have a different conversation because you're all asking the wrong questions about me. 'Where's he going next?' How good am I for real? Stop doubting and start believing. Call me M.E. 'Mal (short for Jamahal). Main Event 'Mal."

Kyle Daukaus spoiled the pristine grappling defense of Jamie Pickett in their catchweight bout with a choke that got the tap in the last second of round one. Daukaus said

"It feels great to get back in here and enjoy the victory. My brother (Chirs Daukaus) has a fight on March 26th, any time after that I'm available to get back in here. I want to call out Tony Ferguson because I have more D'arce chokes than anyone so I want to be called 'The D'arce Knight'".

Lightweight legend Jim Miller made it a rough UFC debut for Dana White’s Contender Series prospect Nikolas Motta with signature leg kicks and a second-round TKO. Miller's 34th victory ties Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone for the most wins in UFC history.

Two Performance of the Night bonuses went to fighters on the prelims. Stephanie Egger was able to put away Jessica-Rose Clark just two minutes into the second round with an impressive armbar, and David Onama got a stunning comeback KO win over Gabriel Benitez in his short-notice UFC debut.
