'So, UFC just came and kicked us out. No tickets for us and not allowed stay back stage to watch. Pulled out back door, kicked out, no even shoes on.'Backing up the initial tweet, Kavanagh shared a video, outside Walker's hotel, of the fighter still wearing the gear that he had donned during his submission win. https://twitter.com/John_Kavanagh/status/1568810073220354050
"I guess, ever since Covid, they've started this thing where they get the fighters right out of here," the UFC president said. "I don't know why that happened, or what happened. i mean, we're not throwing Johnny Walker out on the street, shoeless, I'm sure."Informed that Kavanagh had shared a picture of Walker leaving the arena shoeless, and still in his fight gear, White replied, "So we f***ing threw him right out on the street, huh? It's rough around here. I don't know." As for Walker, the 30-year-old, who trains out of Kavanagh's Straight Blast Gym, called out White for a $50k bonus as his wedding is coming up in early December. Of his 19 victories in professional MMA, 18 of them have come either by knock-out or submission. "I'm getting better," he told Joe Rogan. "I'm working hard, working my ass off!" https://twitter.com/John_Kavanagh/status/1568926398810824704 Dana White, in that same press conference, did confirm that Johnny Walker would get a $50k performance bonus, so that should make up for the early ejection, somewhat, and help with the pending nuptials.
