Magomed Ankalaev TKOs Johnny Walker in UFC main event: Full event results, video highlights

Join us tonight (January 13th) as we cover the very first UFC event of the new year, UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker 2, which is kicking off from he APEX facility in Las Vegas. The top of the billing will see the instant rematch between the #3 rated light heavyweight, Magomed Ankalaev and the #7 rated, Johnny Walker. The start time for this UFC fight card is set for 4:00 pm ET.

Who could ever forget that odd October encounter in the Abu Dhabi desert where Johnny Walker not only had to negotiate a foul, but also had to battle a mysterious case of an exam proctor masquerading around as a ringside physician. Following the no contest, it was only right for Walker and Ankalaev to get rebooked ASAP. The extra layer of fun here is the chaos that’s just about guaranteed with these guys. Ankalaev’s tilts keep getting more and more weird, while Walker has been involved in some wonky situations.

The co-main event for this UFC fight night was supposed to be the rematch between the UFC’s #6 ranked, Manel Kape, and the #5 ranked, Matheus Nicolau. However, after a horribly botched weight cut from Kape, that bout has been scrapped altogether. The match being promoted to co-main status is im Miller vs. Gabriel Benítez. That’s right. Jim ‘*******’ Miller is in the co-main event, which should further prepare him for the upcoming UFC 300.

UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker 2 takes place on December 9th, at the APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card starts at 10 p.m. ET. The prelims begin at 7 p.m. ET.
