Johnny Walker vs. Ryan Spann remains on Sept. 19 event despite UFC 253 moving one week later

Johnny Walker vs. Ryan Spann was originally booked for UFC 253, but the matchup will now be featured on a Fight Night show.

Walker vs. Spann was added to the pay-per-view card back when the event was expected to take place on Sept. 19, but the company ultimately moved it to the following Saturday. The light heavyweight showdown will not be moved to the new date, however, going down on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas.

Walker announced the news in an interview to Canal Encarada, and sources confirmed the switch to MMA Fighting.
