Asplund Calls Out Walker With Famous GSP Line

Steven Asplund called out Johnny Walker after the Brazilian's first-round knockout at UFC 332, borrowing one of the most famous callout lines in UFC history.

Walker stopped Mick Parkin with a knee in the opening round Saturday night in Salt Lake City, earning a $100,000 performance bonus and moving to heavyweight for the first time in the promotion. The finish caught Asplund's attention, per Sherdog, and the American delivered his challenge via Instagram Stories using Georges St. Pierre's legendary 2006 phrase.

What Asplund Said About Walker After UFC 332

"Johnny Walker, I'm not impressed by your performance," Asplund posted, echoing GSP's callout of Matt Hughes nearly two decades ago. "And come on, man, meet me in December at T-Mobile, brother, you big bastard."

St. Pierre entered the cage after Hughes defended his welterweight title against B.J. Penn at UFC 63 and delivered the line that became one of the sport's most awkward and memorable moments. Asplund is pitching UFC 335 in Las Vegas for the matchup.

Asplund holds an 8-2 record and stands 2-1 in the UFC since earning his contract on Dana White's Contender Series. Walker improved to 23-10 with one no contest after the Parkin finish. UFC 335 is scheduled for December at T-Mobile Arena.
