UFC Fight Night: Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill will battle to prove they belong among the elite
Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill will enter their main event bout looking to prove that they belong on the big stage. Both men will want to make a bold statement as they go toe-to-toe in a five-round battle.
Walker was considered one of the hottest prospects in the world's premier MMA organization. He won his first three bouts in the promotion, including three Performance of the Night bonuses. However, the Brazilian has had a rough couple of years, going 1-3 in his last four outings and dealing with injuries. The upcoming bout will be a huge test for Walker, who is coming off a loss to Thiago Santos in October 2021.
Meanwhile, Jamahal Hill looks ready to steam up the light heavyweight division after suffering his only career loss against Paul Craig in June 2021. He responded to the loss by knocking out Jimmy Crute in just 48 seconds in their recent bout in December 2021. A fight against Johnny Walker presents a huge opportunity for 'Sweat Dreams', who will look to secure another win in emphatic fashion.
