UFC 283 Preview: Johnny Walker vs Paul Craig

Paul Craig enters this fight with an overall record of 16-5-1. He brings a ton of experience and skill into this fight. This is a guy who has been at it for a long time and will be a challenging opponent for Walker. He enters this fight at thirty-five years of age.

Johnny Walker, meanwhile, enters this one as a fairly heavy favorite. Oddsmakers have him listed at -180 right now and for good reason. Walker is 19-7 overall and has been facing some tough opponents along the way. He brings similar experience to the veteran Craig, despite being five years younger. The 30-year-old feels like he is peaking at the right time.

From a physical standpoint, these two match up fairly similarly, outside of the height difference. Walker stands 6‘5" compared to Craig, who comes in at 6'2". Walker will have a large advantage in the reach department. 

I am drinking all the juice here and backing Johnny Walker on the moneyline. Walker should be in a great spot here. Craig comes into this fight with a lot of hype around his name, and I get why, but from a physical standpoint, Walker holds a major advantage. I think that the reach difference will play a major role here, and he will prove to be too much in this fight.
