UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker recently did a ’23 and me’ genetic test to find his ancestry. Interestingly, it was all over the place. The Brazilian Walker summarised the result and claimed himself to be 22% African and 72% European. Moreover, he also had negligible West Asia and Indigenous American ancestry.
Walker had earlier announced the result on social media and had used the racial slur ‘Ni**a.’ Now, he has again used the word in a recent social media post. This is what Walker captioned his recent social media post.

Walker’s post was to promote himself in the cameo app. Interestingly, Walker used the racial slur even at the beginning of the video. Walker’s wife was in the background of the video as she cooked food. The light heavyweight fighter has begun to use the racial slur frequently and fans assumed it was due to the ‘23 and me‘ result.
The Brazilian Walker is not the only UFC fighter in the cameo app. Brandon Moreno, Henry Cejudo, and Belal Muhammad, among others, are also in the group. So are UFC ring announcers Bruce Buffer and Joe Martinez. Moreover, retired champions Georges St-Pierre and Glover Teixeira, and referee Marc Goddard are also in it.
Fight fans react to Brazilian star casually using the ‘N-Word’
Johnny Walker headlined the first UFC event in 2024. However, he lost the UFC Vegas 84 headliner to Magomed Ankalaev via second-round KO. It was a rematch of their fight at UFC 294 that ended in a controversial No Contest. Nonetheless, Walker remains a popular fighter in the UFC with his exciting style and social media presence.
His recent social media post, which promoted him in the Cameo went viral on social media and for all the wrong reasons. Walker used the racial slur ‘Ni**a’ in the video. See how fight fans reacted to the video below.
Before his fights with Ankalaev, Walker was on a three-fight win streak. A victory over Ankalaev could’ve gotten him a title shot. The Brazilian does not have a fight lined up, but the fans highly anticipate his return to the octagon.
