Steven Asplund targets Johnny Walker at UFC 335 with famous GSP line

Steven Asplund has publicly declared his intention to face Johnny Walker at UFC 335 in December, following the Brazilian’s standout heavyweight debut at UFC 332. Walker, who entered the promotion with a 23-10-1 record, made an immediate impact by knocking out Mick Parkin with a knee strike in the first round, earning a $100,000 performance bonus for the victory.

Asplund, who has compiled an 8-2 record in the UFC since securing his contract via Dana White’s Contender Series, responded to Walker’s performance with a bold callout—one that echoed a famous moment in UFC history. Mimicking Georges St.

Pierre’s 2006 in-cage challenge to Matt Hughes, Asplund dismissed Walker’s debut as unremarkable and issued a direct challenge for a December showdown in Las Vegas. The potential matchup adds intrigue to the heavyweight division as both fighters look to build momentum ahead of the highly anticipated event.
