On Saturday, July 2, 2011 GriffonRawl's Donny 'Eagle Eye' Walker took on Jeff 'Hellbound' Hougland in The Ultimate Fighting Championship 132 "Cruz vs. Faber." It was Donny's first fight at bantamweight, having taken the fight on two week's notice. Donny came out at a slower pace than normal but nonetheless was the aggressor, pushing the pace throughout the fight. Jeff was able to keep things at bay in round one until he hit a takedown and went for a guillotine submission attempt. Hougland went for a few submission attempts throughout the three rounds, but was unable to finish Walker. Donny continued to stalk Jeff, and attempted a submission attempt of his own, but in the end it was to be Hougland's night. The judges scored the contest 30-27, 29-28, and 30-27.
Being the first fight of the night, performing well, and going the distance was enough to convince the UFC brass Donny earned another shot. Check the GriffonRawl events page for Donny's next fight. For complete results visit http://www.ufc.com/event/UFC132/results
