After coming face to face with his opponent, the athlete from Belford Roxo (RJ) took to his social networks and published a serious image of his confrontation with the North American. In the caption, the athlete once again exuded confidence.
“The face of someone who is thirsty for victory,” he wrote.
This will be Walker's fourth appearance since the fighter signed his professional contract with the company. After three fights, the Brazilian managed to attract the attention of fans and management after defeating his opponents all by knockout and all in the first round.
Johnny was discovered by the UFC after participating in the reality show ‘Dana White’s Contender Series’. To gain access to the company and officially be part of the company's body of athletes, the Brazilian had to go through his compatriot Henrique da Silva. In three rounds of competition, Walker won the unanimous decision of the judges.
The match against Corey will mark the biggest challenge of the new Tupiniquim favorite's career. Johnny needs victory to show that it's not just a promise, but a reality.
Currently, the North American is in seventh place in the light heavyweight category (up to 93kg), currently dominated by Jon Jones. Walker is currently in 11th and hopes, with the triumph, to jump into the division's elite and be able to challenge the champion in the future.
The athletes will fight the last fight on the event's preliminary card, which will be headlined by Jorge masvidal e Nate diaz. The North Americans are in the main fight for the symbolic title of ‘Toughest Son of a Man in the Game’.
