Johnny Walker has no desire to train with the current UFC light heavyweight champion as he ultimately sees a trilogy bout with Magomed Ankalaev happening at some point in the future. This was discussed by Walker in a recent interview with James Lynch as the light heavyweight contender covered several subjects ahead of his UFC Fight Night: Shanghai headliner against Mingyang Zhang on August 23rd.
This is a key juncture in the Brazilian fighter’s career as Walker is winless in his last three outings after a pair of clashes with eventual UFC titleholder Magomed Ankalev and a KO loss around the halfway mark of round one against Volkan Oezdemir in June of last year.
