Anthony Smith vs Johnny Walker to headline UFC event

UFC has booked a light heavyweight main event between Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker.

Although a location has yet to be revealed, reports from MMA Ideas and MMA Junkie state the the pair of strikers will headline a UFC Fight Night event on May 13.

After a rough stretch of four losses in five fights, Walker has rebounded well and is now on a two-fight winning streak after recently stopping Paul Craig at UFC 283.

Smith, on the other hand, has recovered from a broken ankle suffered seven months ago on his TKO loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 277.
