LAS VEGAS – Training under a coach whose mantra has long been “win or learn,” Johnny Walker says he’s had enough lessons as of late.
Walker fought most recently in October, suffering a decision loss in his first UFC headliner, coming up short against Thiago “Marreta” Santos. Still, he said going 25 minutes with his fellow countryman proved valuable.
“Every fight, you don’t lose – you win or learn, right?” Walker asked at Wednesday’s media day at the UFC Apex. “I learned a lot. It was a good experience. I fought five rounds. I felt five rounds, and now I understand more of my body. I know I can push. I know what I can do.
