"This 205-pound matchup started cautiously with each fighter feeling each other out in the first minute of round one. The 37 year old Jacoby missed down the middle with a straight right hand, as Walker landed a low kick in return. Jacoby came crashing forward landing a solid left hook. Moments later Walker shot in for a takedown, as Jacoby threatened a front choke. Returning to his feet, Jacoby landed another left hand that got the attention of Walker."
"Walker looked to pressure early in round two, trying to back Jacoby to the fence. Jacoby landed a massive right hand that stumbled Walker forcing him to retreat. Another straight right hand sat Walker down as it looked like the referee was going to stop the fight. Walker tried to grab anything he could to survive but moments later a flurry of punches against the fence would stop the fight."
