Johnny Walker burst onto the UFC light heavyweight scene with a destructive elbow KO of Khalil Rountree back in November, and his second appearance was even better.

Facing Justin Ledet on the main card of UFC Fortaleza, Walker threw a hook kick and followed that up with a really violent spinning backfist that floored Ledet. Walker threw an illegal soccer kick towards Ledet’s head, followed by three punches, and that was a wrap. All in 15 seconds. The replay suggests that the soccer kick didn’t actually hit Ledet’s head, hence no disqualification.

Round 1 – Ledet comes straight forward. Walker with a hook kick and a spinning back fist and Ledet is down!
