The UFC light heavyweight division is currently ruled by Jon Jones, but it’s Johnny Walker who’s the hottest name at 205 lbs with his destructive knockout power.
Just a month removed from a 15-second TKO of Justin Ledet, Walker returned to action with a short notice fight against Misha Cirkunov at UFC 235 in Las Vegas, and he only needed 36 seconds to get this win. A flying knee put Cirkunov down, and punches prompted the fight to be waved off. He’s 3-0 inside the Octagon and rising up the ranks. It seems the only thing stopping Walker is himself, because he literally suffered an injury while doing “The Worm.”
