Walker believes Ankalaev intentionally threw an illegal punch in the first fight

Joni Walker, Brazilian UFC light heavyweight, is confident that Magomed Ankalaev deliberately landed an illegal knee strike in their first bout.

“Boy, you’re a professional fighter. You never do anything by accident. Everything you try to inflict, you do intentionally. Your knee won't fly to a place you don't want to go. You are in complete control of your body. “He’s a very experienced fighter and he understood what he was doing,” Walker said.

Let us remind you that the rematch between Walker and Ankalaev will take place on the night of January 14th.
