The analysis

Claude
Dustin Jacoby by KO/TKO, 68% confidence

Walker's complete lack of UFC data and experience makes this a massive mismatch. Jacoby, despite his recent 3-fight losing streak, brings elite kickboxing with 5.5 strikes landed per minute and a 76-inch reach. His losses came to ranked competition (Alonzo Menifield, Azamat Murzakanov), not UFC debutants. Walker's youth (25 vs 36) is his only advantage, but Jacoby's veteran savvy and proven power at 205 pounds should overwhelm an untested opponent.

GPT
Dustin Jacoby by KO/TKO, 78% confidence

Jacoby is a proven, high-volume, accurate UFC kickboxer with solid striking defense and experience against ranked light heavyweights, while Walker has no meaningful UFC statistical sample or demonstrated effectiveness at this level. Over three rounds, Jacoby's pace, shot selection, and experience edge make an early-to-mid fight standing stoppage the most likely outcome.
