A lightning victory against Kennedy Nzechukwu on the preliminary card of UFC Nashville helped to fill the pockets of Walter Walker. The third consecutive triumph with a heel hook guaranteed the Performance of the Night award for the Brazilian and a bonus of US$ 50 thousand (R$ 278 thousand, at the current exchange rate).

Besides Walker, another preliminary fight was also worthy of the bonus. Fatima Kline, who won Melissa Martinez in the first fight of the night with a perfect head kick at the end of the third round, will also leave Nashville with an added value.
Unlike other events, there was no Fight of the Night award. Furthermore, athletes involved in the preliminary card were not awarded the $50 prize, including Derrick Lewis, who knocked out Tallison Xicão in the main fight of the night.
