‘I was being extra careful’ - Johnny Walker says elbows were legal, Ryan Spann fight ‘went well’

By his own account, it seems like everything went according to plan for Johnny Walker.

After a wild one-rounder against Ryan Spann at UFC Vegas 11, which saw the Brazilian get knocked down and rocked by some heavy strikes, Walker managed to turn the fight around with some powerful elbows against the cage—scoring his fourth knockout win in the UFC.

Despite the insane pace of the fight and the dangerous situations Walker found himself in, the light heavyweight powerhouse wants to make it clear that he never lost control. In fact, Walker told Ag Fight everything that happened was already expected.
