Johnny Walker Set for Heavyweight Debut at UFC 332

Johnny Walker is transitioning to heavyweight for his upcoming bout against 10-1 Mick Parkin at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City. Walker, who enters the contest with a 1-3-1 record over his last five appearances, cited significant difficulties during his weight cuts to 205 pounds.

Walker stated that cutting to light heavyweight negatively impacted his training camp, describing instances of dizziness and physical depletion that hampered his sparring sessions. He expressed optimism that the move to heavyweight will allow him to maintain his energy levels throughout his preparation.

The heavyweight debut was initially scheduled for August 1st but was postponed due to an injury to his opponent. Walker enters the bout confident that he will be better prepared to showcase his full potential in his new weight class.
