UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker says he wants to fight Chris Weidman and break his face to avenge Anderson Silva’s losses to him.<\/p>\n

Walker is coming off of an upset TKO loss to Corey Anderson at UFC 244 and admitted that he was battling depression heading into the fight<\/a>. It was a loss that snapped a long win streak for Walker, and since then he’s taken to social media to call out Weidman<\/a>, who himself is coming off of a TKO loss to Dominick Reyes at UFC Boston.<\/p>\n

On the surface, a fight between Walker and Weidman makes a lot of sense as it’s two guys with big names at 205lbs each coming off of a knockout loss. But it appears there’s some extra motivation for Walker in calling out Weidman for a fight.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Brazilian MMA journalist Luis Coutinho<\/a>, Walker says that part of the motivation for calling out Weidman is to avenge the losses that the legend Silva had to him back in 2013. Here’s what Walker said.<\/p>\n

Johnny Walker disse que pretende fazer de quatro a seis lutas em 2020. Ideia \u00e9 encarar Chris Weidman em fevereiro ou mar\u00e7o. O motivo? Ele quer vingar Anderson Silva. "Sou muito f\u00e3 do Anderson e teria o maior prazer em quebrar a cara do Weidman". https:\/\/t.co\/jj8ueqfkC0<\/a><\/p>\n
