Top 10-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight contenders Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker will lock horns in the UFC Fight Night 234 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Their rematch takes place nearly three months after their ill-fated first encounter.
Ankalaev and Walker fought to a no contest at UFC 294 on Oct. 21. The controversial finish resulted from an illegal knee strike by Ankalaev that led the cageside doctor to call for the stoppage 3:13 into the first round. Their main event assignment grants both men the opportunity at a conclusive ending to this chapter of their respective careers.
