The 26-year-old cocky young upstart, Johnny Walker has already established something of a reputation for himself in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Having fought a massive 16 times before even coming to the UFC, Johnny Walker had a record of 13-3.

When he made his debut on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender series, he was coming into the fight off the back of a 5-fight win streak which saw him massively confident.

He added another win to his record after a Unanimous Decision victory and bringing his streak up to 6 fights before fighting on an actual UFC card at UFC Fight Night 140. His streak continued to grow, as he got a huge first-round knockout victory where he took out Khalil Rountree with a vicious elbow within 1 minute and 57 seconds of the fight starting.

He is no stranger to 1st round stoppage wins, having secured 11 of them throughout his career. Given his attitude, he is likely to go quite far in the UFC and this is something to watch out for in 2019.
