UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker has disclosed that jokes made by his brother have caused emotional distress to his wife and mother, according to a report from Sherdog. The Brazilian fighter, known for his unorthodox striking style and charismatic personality, opened up about the personal toll of his sibling's humor on his immediate family.
Walker, who has competed in the UFC since 2018 and holds notable victories over fighters such as Misha Cirkunov and Ryan Spann, did not elaborate on the specific nature of the jokes or the exact circumstances. The revelation offers a rare glimpse into the private life of the 32-year-old athlete, who typically keeps family matters out of the public eye.
The fighter's comments highlight the often-overlooked personal pressures faced by professional athletes beyond the octagon. Walker's most recent bout came in January 2024, where he suffered a first-round knockout loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 294.
