Walker hype train is officially derailed.
Hard to believe people wanted to see him fight bones just a few months ago.
If he fights somebody who wants to stand only(Jones most fights) he has a decent shot to win against anybody
but his takedown defense is just not up to snuff
LHW just isn't and hasn't been very deep for quite awhile
People just like seeing Jon fight guys his size or taller for once instead of MWs and small LHWs...Walker fit the bill, as did Reyes
But he needs to learn a lot more before he can beat the top contenders as you say...incomplete skillset and predictably vulnerable to takedowns
