Walker is the younger brother of UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker, but he has carved out a completely different identity as the most dangerous leglocker in the heavyweight division. After dropping his UFC debut to Lukasz Brzeski in 2024, he ripped off four straight wins — every one of them a first-round heel hook, a UFC record for consecutive heel hook submissions. At 6-foot-6 with quick takedown entries, he drags opponents to the mat and starts attacking legs within seconds. None of those four wins made it past the five-minute mark.
