UFC welterweight Johny Walker has spoken out about Magomed Ankalaev not being given a title fight.

"Ancalaev needs to fight for the title, yes. Why is the UFC organizing a rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka? Because Ancalaev is boring. Yes, Pereira is unemotional, but he's fun," Walker said.

Alex Pereira, the UFC bantamweight champion, will have his next fight against Jiri Prohazka. The fight will take place on June 29 as part of UFC 303.
