Recently, he’s gone back to the drawing board in an attempt to redefine what his mixed martial arts career will look like moving forward. That led him down the path of a showdown with Bogdan Guskov, with his hope being that he could prove to the masses why he’s ready for a run to the top.
However, as announced by Walker during an Instagram post, he’s suffered an injury.

“I’m devastated,” Walker said in a video. “A lot of hard work I put in a few months, trained a lot, and I really want to come back and do the show for you, but not this time. I wish Bogdan good luck, hopefully he can find an opponent because he probably put a lot of hard work as well, so hopefully he can find a replacement very soon.”
“I know this is not good news, but I have to make a right decision and accept this and recover, come back strong because now,” he added. “Everybody knows I’m a dad now, Caio is my little baby, I have to fight for them, for my family, and I have to put myself in the best position for come back strong and all, take step by step. Sorry guys, but I’ll be back stronger, heal as quick as I can and come back to put the show on again.”
