Brazilian light heavyweight contender, Johnny Walker has been ruled from a UFC 311 return next weekend against Bogdan Guskov, after suffering a “bad injury” in the run up to the pairing in Los Angeles, California.
Walker, who remains the number ten rank at the light heavyweight limit, has been out of action since June of last year, dropping a stunning first round knockout loss to former title challenger, Volkan Oezdemir in Abu Dhabi.
The loss came as Brazil native, Walker’s second of the annum, following a year-start stoppage loss to current number one contender, Magomed Ankalaev in their headliner rematch at the UFC Apex facility.
