Though there is nothing wrong with the other contests on the prelims on UFC 244, there is one contest that stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s plausible the winner of Corey Anderson and Johnny Walker will determine the next challenger to Jon Jones title. There’s no doubt the UFC would prefer the flashy Walker to come out ahead as Anderson’s three fight win streak hasn’t done much to excite viewers, with all those victories coming via decision. On the flip side, Walker has yet to go beyond two minutes in his undefeated three-fight UFC run.
Plus, don’t underestimate the potential for excitement between Shane Burgos and Makwan Amirkhani, a contest some have earmarked this stacked card as the favorite for FOTN.
