"I will make his mother cry" - Johnny Walker vows to go for the finish at UFC Vegas 48
Johnny Walker received criticism from fans for adopting a cautious approach in his decision loss to Thiago Santos back in October last year. However, the Brazilian is ready to throw caution to the wind in his upcoming fight with Jamahal Hill. Walker is known for his prolific striking skills and knockout prowess inside the octagon but his last performance was somewhat lukewarm.
In a recent interview with AG Fight, Walker said he'll be looking for a finish against Hill because that's what the fans want to see:
"I had some good opportunities [against Santos] and I missed them. I saw that he felt some of my blows and I let him recover, instead of going up and trying to finish the fight. So, it was something I won’t let happen anymore. I will feel the fight more and when I see that the opponent has felt a blow, I will not miss the opportunity, I will make his mother cry."
