Walker’s manager Lucas Lutkus quite recently spoke to noted MMA journalist Ariel Helwani of ESPN. He told Helwani that Walker and his team want him to make comeback in September against a top 10 opponent. Here’s what he had to say:
A top-10 fighter is what we have been talking with the UFC about, (Walker) is No. 10 now with (Alexander) Gustafsson and (Jimi) Manuwa retired, so it is what makes sense.
Honestly, Johnny will take on any name offered, Be it a vet like Glover (Teixeira) or a prospect like (Dominick) Reyes or (Aleksander) Rakic, he loves every possibility of matchup.
