Johnny Walker has made a big splash in his short time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division, garnering attention for his lightning-quick knockouts as well as for his flamboyant celebrations. Now it appears he’s attracted the notice of the man at the top of the divisional totem pole, Jon Jones.
Walker continues to gain plaudits for his performances inside the Octagon with his win over submission specialist Misha Cirkunov on Saturday night at UFC 235 the most recent example. Walker launched a flying knee at the Canadian in the opening round, sending him to the canvas before putting the finishing touches on to get the TKO win.
