Johnny Walker has a cold response for Paul Craig after his face paint made his face 'dirty'

Johnny Walker and Paul Craig were involved in an intense face-off at the ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of their clash at UFC 283 this weekend.

Craig donned his traditional blue face paint as a tribute to his Scottish heritage, and some of the paint ended up on Walker's face as the pair clashed heads during the face-off. The Brazilian doesn't seem to mind, and plans on dirtying his face with Craig's blood in the octagon on Saturday.

Walker took to Twitter following their face-off, writing:

"Face of the way I like , he make my face dirty with his painting, tomorrow it will be his blood."

Both Johnny Walker and Paul Craig have faced off against Jamahal Hill, the man who will compete in UFC 283's main event against Glover Teixeira. Walker suffered a KO defeat to Hill, whereas Craig handed 'Sweet Dreams' his only career loss.

'Bearjew' executed an armbar against Hill which dislocated his elbow completely and left him defenseless against Craig's strikes, resulting in a TKO stoppage.

Craig's victory over Hill will no doubt be on his mind, and a stellar performance against Johnny Walker, accompanied by Hill winning the title, could see a rematch take place for the UFC light heavyweight title.

Johnny Walker is prepared for Paul Craig's deadly submission game

Johnny Walker's fighting style revolves around his athleticism and powerful striking, but the Brazilian believes that he is more than ready to deal with Paul Craig's incredible submission game ahead of their bout.

Craig is one of the most effective Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners in MMA today. Out of his 16 career victories, 13 of those have come via submission. 'Bearjew' has four triangle-choke wins in the UFC, his deadliest submission, but Walker recently stated that he will know how to deal with Craig's attacks.

The Brazilian is confident in his grappling skills as he is a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and believes he will be able to counter Craig's submission threat. Walker told the media ahead of UFC 283:

"I've prepared for him, a lot of drills, triangle escapes, takedown defense. He's been fighting guys that aren't specialists in jiu-jitsu. I'm kind of a specialist in jiu-jitsu as well, I have really good jiu-jitsu, been training BJJ for many years. I'm a brown belt."
