Johnny Walker is looking MASSIVE for his #UFC heavyweight debut at #UFC332 https://t.co/QSAfOUIut1 Via @MMAFighting on X

What happened: Walker is heading into his first UFC fight at heavyweight at UFC 332 after moving up from light heavyweight. Attention around the switch has centered on how much size he is carrying into the card.

Why it matters: The move follows his account of difficult cuts at 205 pounds, including dizziness in sparring, which made the division jump a practical one for this week. It also changes the physical profile of his matchup, with Walker trading the strain of the cut for a heavier division on fight night.

By the numbers: 205 pounds: the mark Walker said had become difficult to reach during his light-heavyweight cut.

What to watch: Official weigh-ins will show how the move lands on the scale before Walker makes his UFC 332 walk.
