I’ll be watching.
Walsh vs. Ocampo will be held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Another show is expected to take place on January 30, a source told BoxingScene’s Lance Pugmire. It’s speculated that the January 30 show will feature former junior welterweight titleholder Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela, 14-3 (9 KOs), in his first bout back since being unseated by Gary Antuanne Russell last March.
“I’ve been talking smack about boxing for a long time, and now it’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is,” White said. “I’m going to get rid of the sanctioning organizations. The best will fight the best. We're going to sign all the young, up-and-coming guys. If you break into the top 10, and you’re still undefeated, your undefeated record means something. You know what I mean? Everybody's undefeated in boxing, because nobody fights anybody, right? Everybody will fight everybody.”

The only way this plan can go through is if the quality of the boxing drops to a low level. This glorified car salesman has a big mouth but very little competence. Plenty of boxing careers will get damaged only for him to learn a lesson or two.
I'll be the first one to admit that I was wrong, but as of right now my prediction is that he'll fall flat on his nose and crawl back to MMA before the end of this decade.
