12 Sensational UFC Bouts In March That You Must Watch

6. Johnny Walker vs. Nikita Krylov - UFC Fight Night 170

We've said it once and we'll say it again - we love all-action fighters. There's something so exciting about the type of mixed martial artist who has a creative, yet exceptionally brutal offense and is more than willing to pull the trigger on an opponent when given even the slightest opportunity

Thankfully for MMA fans around the world, UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard has answered our prayers for violence by pairing up light-heavyweight fight finishers, Nikita Krylov and Johnny Walker. Between them, they have a staggering 41 combined finishes and they've only been to the twice. If that's not a recipe for destruction, we don't know what is.

Walker's momentum might've been stopped briefly by Corey Anderson at UFC 244, but he's still an exceptionally dangerous fighter who possesses real concussive power and an unpredictable style. Krylov, on the other hand, is the epitome of do-or-die inside the Octagon. For someone so clearly talented, he just loves to throw tactics out the window and go for the kill, whether it's on the feet or on the ground.

Keep an eye out for this battle, as everything points to it being a wild scrap.
