Dustin Jacoby Scores Third Straight KO, Stops Julius Walker at UFC Vegas 113

Champion Alex Pereira’s public backing turns Jacoby’s surge into a timely case for reentry to the light heavyweight rankings.

Overview

  • Jacoby finished Walker by TKO at 1:42 of Round 2 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas to open the UFC Vegas 113 main card, with Dan Miragliotta refereeing his 500th UFC bout.
  • After Walker controlled much of the first round with takedowns and clinch work, Jacoby dropped him with a right hand in the second and closed with punches.
  • The victory is Jacoby’s third consecutive knockout in the UFC and his seventh overall at 205 pounds, placing him third on the division’s all-time KO list.
  • In his post-fight interview, Jacoby asked for a spot on the planned June White House card and even requested a round of golf with President Trump.
  • Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira praised Jacoby and urged voters to return him to the rankings, though no formal ranking change has been announced.
