Johnny Walker calls out UFC veteran following explosive heavyweight debut

UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane faces his first title defense at UFC 334 in November against rising contender Josh Hokit, a bout that will set the stage for the division’s next chapter. Meanwhile, former two-division champion Alex Pereira continues his push for heavyweight dominance, with his highly anticipated matchup against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335 in December drawing intense speculation.

Analysts like Michael Bisping have questioned Pereira’s readiness, while others, including UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, have publicly criticized the organization’s fighter pay structure, even hinting at potential title vacations to pursue higher-profile opportunities outside the UFC.
