Walsh (15-4 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) is coming off possibly the biggest fight of his career, as he took a decision win over James McErlean at Bellator 173. Prior to that, the Lancashire man lost his BAMMA 135lbs crown, as he was knocked out by now UFC fighter Tom Duquesnoy. Before that loss, Walsh had won all four of his BAMMA fights.
