A light heavyweight fight between Johnny Walker and Jimmy Crute will no longer be happening at UFC 260 as Walker has been forced out due to an injury.
Crute took to Instagram on Monday evening to announce that Walker had withdrawn from their fight. The reason behind Walker’s withdrawal is a torn pectoral muscle, which apparently will require surgery. MMA Fighting spoke to the Brazilian fighter’s team, who explained that Walker suffered the injury while in the middle of his training camp for Crute. Walker is expected to undergo surgery soon, with no timetable for his return established just yet.
