Preview Johnny Walker Signals Imminent Heavyweight Move After Sparring Francis Ngannou

UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker has indicated that his long-anticipated move to the heavyweight division could happen sooner rather than later. Following recent sparring sessions with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, Walker stated that the transition “won’t take long,” suggesting a significant career shift is on the horizon. This potential jump to a heavier weight class represents a massive change for the Brazilian fighter, who has primarily competed at 205 pounds throughout his UFC tenure. His experience trading blows with a powerful heavyweight like Ngannou appears to have solidified his decision and confidence for the move.
