Johnny Walker is on his way to “Adesanyaing” the light heavyweight division in 2019, but while New Zealand’s “Last Stylebender” made it to a middleweight world title fight after just five fights, as Brazil’s Walker enters his third Octagon bout this weekend against Misha Cirkunov, he’s in no hurry, despite winning his first two in a combined 2:12.
