Walt Harris’ spirits are high. Before the 35-year-old heavyweight sat down with UFC.com, he joked and heaped praise about Avengers: Endgame before admitting that he nearly cried at the film’s ending.
All these high spirits from Harris despite a couple things going against him of late. His most recent bout, a split-decision win over Andrei Arlovski in December, was overturned to a no-contest. In April Harris’ opponent for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night Ottawa, fellow rising heavyweight Aleksei Oleinik, was replaced by newcomer Serghei Spivak. And oh yeah, the Alabama native is fighting in Canada for the first time in his career, where temperatures are still struggling to reach 50 degrees.
