Johnny Walker is a young upcoming professional MMA fighter at 27-years-old. He hails from Belford Roxo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and fights out of If Team. He stands at six-foot-five and owns a professional MMA record of 17-4. Walker got discovered by Dana White in a reality TV fight show called Tuesday Night Contender which was held in Brazil. In that event, he took Henrique da Silva to full time and won by a unanimous decision. Getting his UFC contract afterward, Walker went on to win three consecutive fights. He took down Khalil Rountree, Justin Ledet and Misha Cirkunov. He got his first taste of defeat in the hands of Corey Anderson via first-round TKO in UFC 244: Masvidal vs Diaz.

Nikita Krylov
