Overview
- Serving as ring announcer and de facto commissioner, Walker entered the ring multiple times during Leonardo Guimaraes vs. Mauricio Queiroz before the referee recorded the result as cancelled.
- Hype FC’s broadcast said the bout was halted because the fighters were not competing in good faith, with on-air remarks noting pay could be withheld if action did not improve.
- Later on the card, Walker hastily arranged a bare-knuckle fight between the event’s reported head of security and a volunteer from the crowd.
- The volunteer tried to quit once the mismatch became clear, the action briefly paused, then officials stepped in to stop the improvised contest.
- The Rio de Janeiro event at Farmasi Arena featured a bare-knuckle undercard and a grappling slate with names such as Arman Tsarukyan, Muhammad Mokaev, Shara Magomedov and Bryce Mitchell, and was broadcast on TrillerTV.
