A clash of styles in the light heavyweight division is reportedly headed to Brazil next year. Per Ag Fight’s report, striker Johhny Walker has agreed to take on submission artist Paul Craig at the first pay per view card of the year, UFC 283, in Rio de Janeiro.
Although he has 15 knockout wins under his belt, Walker (19-7) scored his first UFC submission victory in his last outing, when he tapped out Ion Cutelaba with a rear-naked, choke, back in Setpember. In fact, the victory might have saved the 30-year-old’s job, since it snapped a two-fight skid, with losses to Jamahal Hill and Thiago Santos.
