I don\u2019t have to beat a top 5. People talk too much crap, man. People say I don\u2019t have jiu-jitsu, I don\u2019t have wrestling. They say I have to fight a wrestler. The last wrestler I fought lasted five seconds. I\u2019m ready for him and I know I\u2019d be a big challenge. I think he\u2019s afraid to lose to an unknown guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Johnny Walker is focused on capturing the light heavyweight title, he&#8217;s also recently teased a fight with ferocious heavyweight knockout artist Francis Ngannou. From the sounds of it, he&#8217;s quite serious about challenging the Cameroonian-French destroyer. In fact, he&#8217;s willing to fight pretty much anybody in the UFC heavyweight division.<\/p>\n<p id=\"wcoCVa\">\u201cI\u2019d like to impress the fans by beating\u00a0Francis Ngannou. He\u2019s a machine,\u201d Walker said. \u201cHe impressed so many people with his punching power, the way he finishes his fights. People is scared to fight him. I\u2019m not scared to fight him. We have the same punching power. I did the test at the UFC Performance Institute. I was coming off a surgery and almost did the same number he did, so I have the same power or even more. I can definitely defeat him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"rDj8z9\">\u201cI think I\u2019ll have to fight two more times before fighting (Jones), so I\u2019ll get things going in any division,\u201d he added. \u201cIf they need a fight at heavyweight, I\u2019m in. I don\u2019t choose opponents. I\u2019ll fight anyone. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a top 10, a top 20, a top 2. It\u2019s just a regular human being that will get beat up the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say that Johnny Walker is hoping to make waves in the UFC&#8217;s two heaviest divisions. In fact, he&#8217;s hoping to capture titles in both weight classes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-entry-content \">\n<p id=\"nhdvFo\">\u201cIt will happen. That\u2019s my plan,\u201d Walker said. \u201cI want two belts. It\u2019s not \u2018if\u2019, it\u2019s \u2018when\u2019. I came here to make history. This is what I do for a living. I chose to do this for a living. If I was an engineer or a Formula 1 driver I\u2019d want to be the No. 1. I\u2019m a fighter, and I want to be the greatest of all-time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"formatter-datter\" class=\"u-hidden-text\" data-cid=\"site\/entry_formatter-1563205805_8535_5965\"
