Walker looks to next UFC challenge
“I want Derrick Lewis or Josh Hokit,” Walker told MMA Junkie. “I’ll be ready to fight in October or November. I have in mind these two guys: Derrick Lewis or Josh Hokit. This is who I want next.”
“If I could pick, I would pick Derrick Lewis,” Walker said. “I think for me it’s an interesting fight. He has a big name and a more big name than Josh Hokit. I think Derrick Lewis has an interesting name in the game. I watched him when I was young. He has the record for knocking people out, and I try to make my name in the game. I think this is a very interesting fight for me.”
“I’m a soldier for the UFC,” Walker said. “Whoever the UFC gives me, I’m happy, and I’ll agree. I’m not the kind of guy who says, ‘Who do I get in the negotiation?’ No, whoever the UFC gives me, I’m happy to agree.”
