Previously seen as one of the most promising fighters in the light heavyweight division (up to 93kg) and considered the man to defeat Jon Jones , Johnny Walker demonstrates that his dream remains to become champion of the category. Amidst a delicate phase in his career, the fighter plans to return to winning ways to conquer a title in the future.

Despite the apparent effort to reach the weight required by the division, the fighter expresses confidence that he will be able to defeat any opponents placed in his path to reach the current champion, Magomed Ankalaev.
