Johnny Walker hopes he gets a game Anthony Smith, or he predicts it’ll be a short night for him.
Walker (20-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) meets former light heavyweight title challenger Smith in the main event of the UFC’s May 13 card. The Brazilian is enjoying a career resurgence after back-to-back first-round finishes of Ion Cutelaba and, most recently, a TKO of Paul Craig at UFC 283 in January.
He takes on Smith (36-17 MMA, 11-7 UFC), who recently broke his ankle in a TKO loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 277 in July 2022. Smith proved he’s still a top contender with three wins prior to that, and Walker is looking forward to the challenge.
