A light heavyweight bout between two heavy-handed strikers is headed to Las Vegas in September. According to MMA Junkie’s report, Johnny Walker is slated to face Ion Cutelaba at the UFC 279 card, in a fight that could mean the end of the line in the Octagon for the loser.
Currently on a two-fight losing skid, Walker (18-7) was knocked out by Jamahal Hill and dropped a unanimous decision to Thiago Santos in his most recent outings. In fact, the 30-year-old’s latest victory dates back to September 2020, when he bested Ryan Spann by unanimous decision.
