UFC's Johnny Walker Shakes Off Loss, 'Learned My Lesson, Won't Happen Again'

Johnny Walker ain't letting his bruised up face keep him down -- 'I'll be back!'

The 27-year-old Brazilian -- one of the hottest rising stars in MMA -- took a beating Saturday night, with the ref stopping the fight in the 1st round.

When our photog saw 6'5", 205-pound Walker strolling around Manhattan the next day, Johnny didn't seem fazed at all. "I'm good, I'm good," Walker said with a smirk ..."I'm ready to go again. I'm ready to fight as soon as possible." Walker said he's expecting a 45-day medical suspension to allow his eye to heal up -- but he's excited to show people he can come back from a loss like a champ.Walker says he realizes the mistakes he made during the Anderson fight -- he hesitated and thought too much during the scrap -- and says it won't happen again.Walker reminded us he's only been fighting for 5 years and has tons of room to grow -- and may even consider BOXING at some point in his career.
