Johnny Walker shared his thoughts on Magomed Ankalaev, the UFC champion in the light heavyweight division.
“Ankalaev is a very technical fighter. He is a high-level professional, and this guy showed himself well in the fight against Pereira. At the moment of our confrontation, I wasn’t at that level to be able to beat him. Magomed is so good that he beat me by taking advantage of one small mistake of mine. In the rematch, I made the wrong move — after the kick, I should have pulled my leg back [but I left it in front]. As a result, Magomed caught my leg and knocked me out. Ankalaev is a championship-level fighter.”
