Light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker has discussed his intentions to compete in the heavyweight division. Walker revealed he has sparred with Francis Ngannou and felt comfortable working with him despite a 20-kilogram weight difference while on his diet. He believes he would perform much better at heavyweight because the weight cut negatively impacts his training. Walker explained that during his diet he experiences dizziness and low energy due to lack of carbohydrates. The move would represent a significant shift in his UFC career trajectory.
