“A great Christmas gift. That’s exactly why I let the light heavyweight guys talk a lot,” wrote the champion.

Jones also responded to a fan who commented on Walker's defeat, who had been challenging the American after a good trajectory within Ultimate. The fan also joked about the fact that Johnny lost to Anderson.

“This is the guy who claimed he would beat you,” wrote the fan, which was immediately responded to by 'Bones'. “I'm not easily impressed. I've been in this sport for a long time. I saw people arrive and leave”, published the legend.

Before stepping into the octagon this Saturday, Walker had been attracting the attention of MMA enthusiasts and Ultimate directors. The athlete had performed three times since signing his professional contract with the company.

In all the duels, Johnny had won by knockout and, adding up the time he spent inside the octagon, it didn't reach four minutes.

With his unquestionable performances, it didn't take long for the Brazilian to fall into the public's favor, but, after the defeat, history seems to be taking a different direction. The duel against Anderson could guarantee Walker an immediate ticket to face Jon Jones, however the setback made the fighter return to the back of the line.

At 27 years old, today, Johnny has 17 victories and four negative results in his career. The fighter from Belford Roxo (RJ) occupies 11th place in the category ranking.

So much for the early Christmas present. This is exactly why I just let them light heavyweight do all the talking.
