However, a young up-and-coming Brazilian Light Heavyweight fighter would like to do the honours for Silva by breaking Weidman’s face.
Johnny Walker spoke to Brazilian journalist Luis Coutinho and revealed his plans for 2020.
The 27-year-old Light Heavyweight intends on having four to six fights next year. He is pushing to face Chris Weidman in either in February or March to avenge his fellow countryman Anderson Silva’s loss.
Weidman made his LHW debut and lost to Dominick Reyes via KO in the first round in October earlier this year.
The flamboyant Walker’s nine-fight winning streak came to an end recently when he got knocked out by Corey Anderson in the first round at UFC 244.
Walker has been actively calling out the former Middleweight Champion for a fight and it’s a showdown that has the potential to headline a Fight Night.
Will Weidman and UFC work out a deal to accommodate Walker’s proposal?
