Johnny Walker was left momentarily unconscious in a dramatic finish to his light heavyweight main card matchup at UFC Saudi Arabia, where Volkan Oezdemir delivered a devastating knockout that left fans and commentators in stunned silence. After a brief feeling-out period, Oezdemir, aptly nicknamed "No Time" for his quick victories, began to assert his dominance. He landed strike after strike, pushing Johnny Walker against the fence.
With less than three minutes remaining in the first round, Oezdemir delivered a flush right hook to Walker's head, followed by a left hook and a powerful right uppercut. The combination folded Walker, sending him crashing to the UFC's signature light blue canvas. Walker was left unconscious against the fence, but Oezdemir sealed the deal with a follow-up shot to his grounded opponent, officially ending the fight.
This marked a devastating loss for Walker and a highlight-reel victory for Oezdemir.

I know I had to take my time because he's a little bit crazy in the first two minutes.
That's Johnny Walker man; he's a crazy guy," said Oezdemir. "I just had to watch out, take my time a little it, and choose my shots," he continued. The win sent the Swiss fighter on a two-fight win streak in his career, where he called for a title shot after.
