Nikita Krylov got the job done in enemy territory, but it was not in his usual fashion.
After three hard-fought rounds, the ‘Miner’ managed to outgrapple Johnny Walker all the way to a unanimous decision at UFC Brasilia. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the not so chaotic as expected fight.
Fighters that move to Tristar to make a change usually perform differently and better. Look foward to walker coming up

Johnny Walker is wild and unpredictable but does he have the chin he needs?

So far I don’t think this is the fight anyone expected. Krylov vs Walker #UFCBrasília

It’s weird without a crowd. You can hear how hard Walker is breathing. #UFCBrasilia

Well the hype behind walker has been smothered #UFCBrasília

I was not expecting that fight to go the distance of all the fights on tonight’s card
Great win for Krylov though coming in with a smart gameplan to nullify the range and explosiveness of Walker. #UFCBrasília
