Johnny Walker to Face Cortes-Acosta in UFC Vegas 124 Main Event

The main event of the UFC Vegas 124 card was set at the last minute. Johnny Walker and Waldo Cortes-Acosta will face each other in the octagon next week, on November 7.

The previous plan had Gabriel Bonfim facing Sean Brady in the main event. However, American fighter Brady was injured. After the injury, the organization's team did not find a new opponent in time, and the main event card was changed.

With this change, the bout between Walker and Cortes-Acosta became the headline matchup of the event. Last-minute roster changes like this are common occurrences in the UFC's weekend schedules.
