A matchup of Brazilian light heavyweights has been targeted for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Sept. 25.
Former 205-pound title challenger Thiago Santos is expected to lock horns with Johnny Walker on the card, which hasn’t been official announced by the promotion. While verbal agreements are in place for the fight, contracts have not been signed. Combate was first to report the booking. The event doesn’t have an official location or headliner at this time.
Santos will look to end a three-bout losing streak when he squares off against Walker.
