He&#8217;ll meet the American wrestling specialist at UFC 244 on November 2 in New York City&#8217;s world famous Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p>In this fight, Walker will look to build on the momentum of three, violent finishes in his first three UFC wins.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining the UFC roster, Walker has picked up knockout victories over Khalil Rountree, Justin Ledet and Misha Cirkunov, with a standing elbow, a spinning back fist and a flying knee respectively. It took him less than 2 minutes combined to win these three fights. Despite his relative inexperience in the Octagon, he&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/johnny-walker-confident-he-can-beat-jon-jones-now\/\">already confident<\/a> he has the ability to defeat the seemingly unbeatable UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready to fight Jon Jones already,\u201d Walker told reporters at UFC 237. \u201cAll I need is to recover my shoulder and have a decent camp. But I\u2019m ready. I have enough technique and experience for that. I don\u2019t think he has anything to surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready to beat Jon Jones now,&#8221; Walker added. &#8220;Anyone they put (against me), I\u2019ll accept it, but I\u2019d rather fight someone from the top-five next. But if it\u2019s a top 10, that\u2019s okay, I\u2019m the No. 12 light heavyweight now. I\u2019ll accept anyone that\u2019s ahead of me, but I want to beat Jon Jones. But I have to go slowly, I don\u2019t want to take anyone\u2019s spot. Many people deserve it more than me, I still have a lot to show, and I will conquer my space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do think the freakishly athletic Johnny Walker could be the man to dethrone Jon Jones?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i> on 9\/11\/2019.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker is freakishly athletic.
