Currently, Walker holds 17-3 record has been on a nine-win streak, eight of which has been spectacular he looks like the man to defeat the 205 pounds, Bones, but that on paper at least. It seems that Walker want to aim higher and defeat bigger fish as so to say he certainly feels that Jon Jones is his match and he can and will defeat him.
Speaking to The Body Lock Walker said “It would make me very happy to fight against him, I would beat him. I hope I don’t finish the fight very quickly because I want to enjoy the fight, enjoy the moment because this is my dream coming true. I hope Jon Jones keeps the belt. I like ‘Marreta.’ He’s a Brazilian but I hope Jon Jones wins because I want to beat Jon Jones.”
