Rising UFC contender Johnny Walker wants to fight Jon Jones like he did on UFC video game

Streaking UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker is hoping Jon Jones retains his title against Thiago Santos, because it would be a dream to one day challenge the pound-for-pound great for the belt.

Walker, 27, is on a nine-fight win streak and has finished his last three UFC bouts in the first round. His knockout win over Justin Ledet at UFC Fight Night 144 came at just 15 seconds of the opening round, finishing the Texan in style with a spinning back fist and follow-up punches.

As he continues to build notoriety and climb the rankings, Walker feels it’s inevitable that he will eventually square off against ‘Bones’ for the light heavyweight title.
