No parties, no distractions: Johnny Walker just focuses on ‘hurting’ Ryan Spann

Johnny Walker has changed as an athlete in 2020.

The light heavyweight prospect entered the UFC with a bang in 2018, knocking out Khalil Rountree, Justin Ledet and Misha Cirkunov in a combined time of 2:48 in a five-month span. Back-to-back losses to Corey Anderson and Nikita Krylov, however, derailed his run a bit.

Now booked to return to the octagon against rising 205-pounder Ryan Spann on Sept. 19, Walker switched things up in day-to-day life.

First, Walker moved his camp to from Tristar to Straight Blast Gym since he can’t enter Canada due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
