Johnny Walker has made an impression on MMA fans in a very short period of time, huh? He’s been in the cage for less than three minutes and has already racked three violent stoppage wins. Taking care of business against Khalil Rountree and Justin Ledet isn’t exactly easy work but those two names hardly carry the weight of the more established contenders. However, his destruction of Misha Cirkunov is an entirely different story.
While he wasn’t knocking on Jon Jones’ door for the next title shot, at his best Cirkunov is a proven competitor who poses a legitimate threat to the top names at light heavyweight.
