UFC light heavyweight prospect Johnny Walker could move to Tristar gym for his next fight camp.
Walker enjoyed a meteoric rise since debuting for the promotion in 2018. However, his most recent outing saw him suffer a shock first-round TKO defeat to Corey Anderson at UFC 244 last month.
Wanting to return to action as soon as possible, the Brazilian is looking to compete at UFC Brasilia which takes place March 14 with Nikita Krylov being a rumored opponent. And to further boost his chances of returning to the win column, he is reportedly in talks with Firas Zahabi about holding his camp at Tristar.
“Spoke to Firas Zahabi (@Firas_Zahabi) this morning,” Okamoto tweeted. “He told me he’s been talking to Johnny Walker (@Johnnywalkermma) about holding his next camp at Tristar in Montreal. Interesting move for the 205er.”
Zahabi, of course, is the head coach of Tristar in Montreal who has trained the likes of Georges St-Pierre and Rory MacDonald. Kevin Lee made the full-time move there recently and the result was a first-round knockout of Gregor Gillespie last month.
Training under Zahabi could see Walker go up another level.
What do you think of Walker training under Zahabi at Tristar?

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will now be benefiting from the greatest welterweight of all time in Georges St-Pierre.
Appearing on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday, “The Chosen One” revealed that he is training with St-Pierre and head coach Firas Zahabi at Tristar Gym in Montreal, Canada.
“It’s a blessing to be able to train with Georges St-Pierre,” Woodley said. “Yes, people. I will be training with Georges St-Pierre. We will not fight, that’s very obvious. There’s no point for me not to train with one of the greatest, if not the greatest welterweight of all time to sharpen myself. That’s something that motivates me.”
Woodley, of course, is referring to previous talks of him potentially facing “GSP” which never came to fruition. And with St-Pierre now retired, it makes all the more sense for them to train together.
Woodley won’t be doing his whole camp with Tristar, however — he will still be training with Roufussport and American Top Team (ATT) as he’s done before. He is simply adding more options to help him get better as a mixed martial artist:
“No, no, I got a great camp,” Woodley responded when asked if he was doing his whole camp with Tristar. “The good thing about my camp and the reason why we move the way we do is because of the humility. I talked with Duke Roufus, he knew I was training with him, [ATT coach] Din [Thomas] knew I was training with him. They were excited to hear what I learned and picked up. They wanted to know if I was going to continue training with him.
“…The ego-free humility martial art form of training allows me to be able to do this. [ATT owner] Dan Lambert, the same way I can train at Roufussport — it allows me to be able to do that and be the best fighter because that’s the end goal for everybody.”
What do you make of this news? Do you think Woodley will be even better now?

Go inside the mind of Rory MacDonald as he prepares for Saturday night’s welterweight showdown with Stephen Thompson at UFC Fight Night 89 in this special video.
MacDonald works with his coaches at Tristar Gym, including former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, to fine-tune all aspects of his game.
Perhaps I am just ignorant to a lot of the subtleties of Aikido, but when I watched Steven Seagal “spar” with former Strikeforce champion Rafael Cavalcante in the moments leading up to UFC 148, I was less than impressed. Though there is little doubt in my mind (none, in fact) that Sensei Seagal would absolutely destroy me in a fight, even after consuming his daily pallet of chocolate covered pretzels, when given the choice between Seagal’s deadly patty-cake shenanigans and say, the leaping, spinning roundhouse kicks of Jean-Claude Van Damme, I will choose the latter 11 times out of 10. I mean, we’re talking about the living embodiment of Colonel William F. Guile here, people. I could also get into the whole debate about how it was actually JCVD that invented the front kick, as well as the Showtime kick, only to have the techniques Milli-Vanilli’d from him by Seagal and Anthony Pettis, but I’d prefer not to filibuster my own article for the sake of argument.
But you can understand my excitement when I heard that none other than the roundhouse-kicking thespian himself recently stopped by Tristar Gym to pay Georges St. Pierre and the gang a visit and partake in some light sparring. This video was tweeted by St. Pierre yesterday, and although it is extremely light on both the sparring and actual content, it’s still the coolest twenty five seconds you’ll see all day, so just enjoy it.
As you can see, Van Damme can still wing those kicks up there and stop them on a dime, whereas I would be shocked to learn that Seagal could even lift his legs off of the ground without assistance. This of course leads to the question: If JCVD and Sensei Seagal were to throw down nowadays, who would take it and how?
