Media Johnny Walker kicked out of arena before the event is over

[NicholasJBasile]

Can anyone tell me why J-Walk was thrown out in his fight gear , gloves on n barefooted right after his fight ?

Dana is such a pos for his explanation. Blames covid protocol yet all the other fighters got to stay?


Anyone know or heard of anything as to why this happened?

Probably not Dana's call, but this is certainly a shitty look for the venue. I'm sure words will be had with the arena organizers about this -- not sure who is responsible, but I also heard Barnett was left stranded at the hospital after his fight and he asked for a ride on his Instagram lol

Apparently when they take fighters to the hospital for a checkup and they are discharged the UFC takes them back to the hotel or the arena, last night they just left Barnett there and he had to go on IG live and ask fans to go pick him up

Keep in mind that they are transported as soon as the fight ends so they have no wallet.

JFC. Yeah, after hearing this I hope most fighters are like "na man, I am not leaving the arena without my wallet and cellphone."

Ludicrous.

 

[CodCommando]

Logistical nightmare, I wonder what the reason was.

 

[Ronin13]

Sounds fishy

 

[PabloMEX]

Doesn't make any sense.

 

[Balistic]

Strange times. I suspect he fucked up somehow but ya who knows..

 

[CHUTE_BOXE78]

Fucked, used, underpaid, and sent home walking butt-naked, just like Danas private girls.

 

[Sticko]

Feel like this should be a bigger story.

 

[Emjay]

But why him though?

Why not anyone else?

That isn't quite true. They just kicked everyone out to clear out the back so there will be no fighting. People who work security for the events don't always follow the sport. They don't know who has beef with who. Security most likely had instructions to clear the back and make sure everyone leaves.

Come on LOL! So security just thought a guy that size was walking around in UFC shorts, mma gloves....no shirt or shoes....is not part of the show?? LMAO!

Business as usual

 

[Ogata]

Couldn't they just let him sit at a locker room bench or just some utility closet in one of the hallways?

what fighting would there have been? We all know the Holland / Khamzit “beef” was wolf tickets to salvage that card

Conor loading assault-dolly into his private jet.

He must restore Kavanagh’s honor.

You are not reading my comment. Security has orders to clear the back. They don't give a shit about anything else. It is obvious that he was competing but he wasn't allowed to hangout in the back after the fights.

There is no conspiracy theory. You are given instructions by a supervisor and you follow them. You don't have the right credentials then you have to leave. Johnny Walker isn't the only person that was asked to leave that night.

whatever you say, UFC schill

 

[MikeyB]

Sounds like badge heavy security guards

 

[Sticko]

Johnny posted this on his Instagram. Either he just has a really good sense of humor about the whole situation or the whole thing was staged.

 

[Hardcore MMA]

Straight insanity! Walker walking around the casino entrance with his gloves still on just shows how disorganized this event was.
