UFC Vegas 124 predictions

Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker headline UFC Vegas 124 and it’s kind of strange here we got here.

Saturday’s show was supposed to feature Gabriel Bonfim vs. Sean Brady in a welterweight main event, but Brady was forced out with an injury and no replacement could be found, so instead a heavyweight bout between Cortes-Acosta and Walker was thrown together to close out the evening. Good thing, too, because it’s not like they had a pair of top 5 UFC title contenders in the co-main ready to step into that spot.

Oh, wait.

Admittedly, Tatiana Suarez vs. Virna Jandiroba doesn’t scream fireworks on paper, but both have fought for UFC gold and Suarez could end up facing champion Mackenzie Dern…
