Walker scored his fifth straight submission, tying Demian Maia's record for longest streak in UFC history. Walker took the mic after the fight to say he wants to punch Ciryl Gane in the back of his head to avenge Alex Pereira. Gane finished Pereira by Round 2 TKO to claim the interim heavyweight title at UFC Freedom 250, where Pereira complained about Gane hitting him with illegal blows.
