He made his promotional debut against fellow newcomer Jeff Hougland on July 2, 2011, at UFC 132.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/24107/bantamweights-jeff-hougland-and-donny-walker-added-to-ufc-132.mma|title=Bantamweights Jeff Hougland and Donny Walker added to UFC 132|publisher=mmajunkie.com|date=2011-06-23|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110627020131/http://mmajunkie.com/news/24107/bantamweights-jeff-hougland-and-donny-walker-added-to-ufc-132.mma|archivedate=2011-06-27}} He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
