The Ultimate Fighter 30 results: Hannah Guy vs. Brogan Walker, semifinals set

Brogan Walker survived a late charge to claim the last spot in The Ultimate Fighter 30 semifinals.

The Invicta FC vet won a majority decision over Hannah Guy (4-1) in the last quarterfinal flyweight bout of the season, earning the victory with a pair of knockdowns in each round that helped to overcome Guy — best known for handing Bellator star Valerie Loureda her first loss — threatening with back control in the latter stages of the fight.

In Round 1, Walker took the early advantage as she figured out Guy’s timing and dropped her with a right hand. Walker appeared to be more focused and busier than Guy in the initial five minutes. This carried into round 2.

A confident Walker marched forward and put the pressure on Guy, rocking her with another right hand before proceeding to bully her against the fence. They traded hard punches and later Guy managed to score a takedown with about two minutes to work. She quickly took Walker’s back and worked for a choke while landing short punches, which was enough to convince coach Julianna Pena that a third round was coming. However, two of the three judges decided that the damage Walker did in the two rounds was enough to avoid a “sudden victory” round.

Walker (7-2)* advances in the TUF 30 tournament alongside Team Amanda Nunes teammates Kaytlin Neil and Eduardo Perez.

Team Pena won the first set of fights by a narrow 5-3 margin as her fighters Laura Gallardo, Jordan Heiderman, Juliana Miller, Zac Pauga, and Mohammed Usman are all still alive in the competition.
