‘I’m here’ – Dana White receives shock UFC 334 backup offer from fan favourite just days after stunning KO

Johnny Walker has offered to serve as a short-notice backup fighter for the UFC 334 main event just days after securing a third-round stoppage victory over Waldo Cortes-Acosta. UFC 334 takes place at Madison Square Garden, headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit. Walker stated he suffered no serious injuries in his recent bout and is ready to step in if needed.

While Joselyne Edwards is already confirmed as the backup fighter for the co-main event between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes, the official backup for the heavyweight headliner has not been formally named. Walker's offer follows a strong heavyweight run, which also includes a first-round knockout win over Mick Parkin at UFC 332.
