Johnny Walker will get his fight back home this January when he fights a tough opponent.
A light heavyweight matchup between Paul Craig and Walker is the latest addition to the UFC’s first pay-per-view lineup of 2023.
Craig will look to bounce back after having his recent six-fight unbeaten streak snapped in July by Volkan Oezdemir at UFC London.
Prior to that, Craig finished four consecutive opponents — Nikita Krylov, Jamahal Hill, Mauricio Rua, and Gadzhimurad Antigulov.
Walker was able to get back on track in September with a first-round submission win over Ion Cutelaba at UFC 279. The victory couldn’t have come at a better time for the 30-year-old as he entered the fight with losses in two straight — including a vicious knockout defeat against Jamahal Hill in February — and four of five.
UFC 283 will feature the fourth fight between flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and current interim titleholder Brandon Moreno.
