Johnny Walker vented about the criticism of haters on the internet during a video published on his 'YouTube' official. The Brazilian, who ended up knocked out by Jamahal hill in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 48 last Saturday (19), stated that people do not care about the health of athletes.

“For me, everything is fine. Let's move on to the next one, shall we? But what's making me really upset is that people don't care about the fighters' health and what happens afterwards, you know? They just care about the photos and making the jokes,” Walker said.
It does not stop there. After suffering a knockout in the first round, the Brazilian reveals that he underwent brain tests to see if everything was ok. He says he was upset to realize that the haters – people who post criticism or hateful comments – are only focused on jokes and gratuitous insults.
“What made me upset was people sending me messages and commenting on jokes. People don't care about other people's health. I train very hard, I'm very committed to my career. And when I get to the fight to put on my best show for the fans, if I get hurt or something like that happens, people just make jokes about the knockout. They don't care about my health or if I have brain damage, if I'm okay. I spent so many hours in the hospital being examined. I'm 100% fine, but they don't know. They really don’t care what happens to my health,” he concluded.
At 29 years old, Walker is going through a turbulent period in the UFC. After a promising start with three consecutive knockouts, the fighter was defeated in the last four of his five recent appearances in the organization. He has a record of 18 triumphs and six setbacks.
