Round 1
This fight’s for the Pro Series Featherweight Belt. Vaughan throws wild punches that are blocked by Walker. Vaughan looks for a shot and looks to have cut Walker’s brow. Vaughan throws more wild uppercuts and uses them to set up a takedown. Vaughan drops back for a heelhook, Walker looks composed in his defense and throws a flurry of punches and elbows on his way to being on top of Vaughan. Walker is in sidecontrol and has Vaughan’s right arm tied up. Walker takes Vaughan’s back and quickly sinks in a rear naked choke. Vaughan taps immediately. Donny Walker leaps up on the cage above me and wipes the blood off of his head and licks it. That fight was a testament for the toughness of Walker, as he weathered a flurry of punches and a heelhook before submitting a tough opponent. Expect big things from Donny Walker in the future, especially since Jason Dent is behind him and is likely in the ear of the WEC/UFC supporting his teammate. Additionally, expect to hear from Billy Vaughan, as that kid is tough and has a huge upside.
