UFC light heavyweight Johnny Walker will return at UFC 283 on Jan. 21 against an opponent that he called out just days ago.
News of Walker’s upcoming UFC booking was first reported by AgFight.
Walker will face Paul Craig, whom he answered would be his ideal next opponent during a recent interview. He will get his wish and return to the Octagon for the UFC’s first card in Brazil in nearly three years.
Walker earned a first-round submission of Ion Cu?elaba at UFC 279 last month. The win got him back on track after losing four of his previous five fights, including back-to-back main event losses against Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill.
