UFC light heavyweight contenders, Johnny Walker and Paul Craig are set to clash at UFC 283 on January 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Ag. Fight was the first to report the news of the matchup being in the works via a tweet, although the promotion itself has yet to officially confirm anything regarding the booking. Walker is 2-2 in his last four Octagon outings and is coming off a first-round submission win over Ion Cutelaba at UFC 279. Craig meanwhile is 5-1-1 in his last seven fights and will try to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to Volkan Oezdemir at UFC Fight Night 208.
