Did SBG Ireland help or hurt Johnny Walker?

Something was different about Johnny Walker during his recent UFC Vegas 38 main event contest against Thiago Santos. We’re a few weeks removed from that fight, which Walker lost via decision, and I’m still not sure if what we saw at the UFC Apex was good or bad for Walker.

Prior to the contest, Walker, who has been training with John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, raved about the help Kavanagh was giving him.

“I think he wants to make a project with me,” Walker, who is living in the home of Kavanagh’s parents, said. “He wants to make another project, so I’m betting on him the same way he’s betting on me.
