Ankalaev Set to Face Walker in Light Heavyweight Rematch

UFC Vegas 84 To Host the Rematch

Ankalaev Aims to Maintain Win Streak, Walker Seeks Redemption

Scheduled for this Saturday, January 13th at UFC Vegas 84, a light heavyweight rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker has been announced. Ankalaev and Walker previously faced off at UFC 294, resulting in a shocking upset victory for Ankalaev.

Ankalaev, currently ranked third in the UFC light heavyweight division, is widely regarded as one of the division's most talented and underappreciated fighters. Despite his impressive skillset, Ankalaev has not received the same level of recognition as some of his more well-known peers.

In the first bout between Ankalaev and Walker, the Russian fighter delivered a stunning right hook that sent Walker crashing to the canvas. Walker, who had previously won four consecutive fights, was visibly disappointed by the outcome.

Walker Seeks Redemption

After his loss to Ankalaev, Walker expressed his determination to return stronger and prove himself in the rematch. Walker has been training diligently and is eager to avenge his defeat.

The upcoming rematch is a crucial opportunity for both fighters. Ankalaev aims to maintain his winning streak and solidify his position as a contender for the light heavyweight title. Walker, on the other hand, is determined to earn redemption and demonstrate his true potential within the division.
