By Mia Tucker
UFC is set to come back and ready to host their first UFC show, UFC Fight Night: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Johnny Walker 2, The first time Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker faced each other at UFC 294 in 2023, under-card of Alexander Volkanovski vs. Islam Makhachev 2 at Abu Dhabi UFC 294.
The fight ended unusually when Magomed Ankalaev landed an illegal knee to Walker’s face, and doctors ended the fight via a doctor stoppage. Walker pushed the doctor and indirectly indicated that he was fit to fight.
“He asked me if I wanted to continue fighting,” Walker said. “I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Where are you?’ I didn’t want to say the wrong answer because I was excited when he was doing the test and I wanted to say the right answer. I thought to say Abu Dhabi … and then I said, ‘Fine, I’m in the f****** desert, bro. I’m here. I’m good. I’m in the desert. I’m in the Middle East.” Walker explained.
He further said, “ It’s the same situation. It’s very complicated because you go a thousand miles an hour, you’re fighting for your life and your career, hopefully, get a title shot after, and everything’s over, it’s very disappointing”
Walker and Ankalaev are set to headline the first UFC Fight Night settle the score and prove who is the better man.
