Johnny Walker shared his thoughts on Magomed Ankalaev, the UFC light heavyweight champion.

He described Ankalaev as a highly technical and professional fighter who performed impressively against Pereira. Walker admitted that at the time of their first encounter, he wasn`t at the necessary level to defeat Ankalaev. He acknowledged Ankalaev`s skill, stating that Magomed capitalized on a single small error in their fight.

Regarding their rematch, Walker explained the critical mistake: “I made the wrong move… after the kick, I should have pulled my leg back [but I left it in front]. As a result, Magomed caught my leg and knocked me out.” Walker concluded by stating that Ankalaev is a championship-level fighter.
