Johnny Walker experienced his sixth knockout defeat at UFC Saudi Arabia when Volkan Oezdemir landed a decisive punch. The frequency of Walker’s knockout losses is causing growing concern.
Though accumulating six knockout losses is not uncommon in the sport of mixed martial arts, the worry stems from how Walker handles these defeats. His subpar boxing abilities, defensive shortcomings, and alarming response to being struck have all played a role in his decline. Previous suggestions for him to change weight classes have been proposed, but given his series of devastating knockout losses, it may be too late for such a adjustment.
Despite maintaining his status as a high-ranking UFC competitor, Walker continues to compete, raising the likelihood of encountering additional knockout setbacks. The unfolding scenario is anticipated to be increasingly difficult to witness moving forward.
