Before friendly, the atmosphere between Johnny Walker e Paul Craig may have changed. At the 'half day', the Brazilian stated that he was confident of victory in a valid fight for the UFC 283, in Rio de Janeiro, and promised that he can 'take his opponent's arm' home.
In an exclusive interview to SUPER FIGHTSHowever, Craig underestimated Walker's grappling power. For him, the Brazilian did not show the quality necessary to beat him.
“He never broke an arm in his professional life. And he never broke anyone's arm, when else what? A jiu-jitsu black belt? It’s not going to happen,” Craig said.
Paul Craig occupies ninth place in the division ranking, but is coming off a defeat in a frustrating performance against Volkan oezdemir, in July. The result interrupted a streak of six unbeaten fights for the Scotsman, who had five wins and a draw in Ultimate.
Eleventh place in the light heavyweight rankings, Johnny Walker comes from an important submission victory over Ion cutelaba No. UFC 279, In September. The Brazilian entered the duel against the Moldovan under pressure from two consecutive defeats and with just one victory in the last five fights.
