UFC Vegas 124 Headliner Shifts to Heavyweight Clash

Published

The story

The event's original headliner between Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady was canceled due to a staph infection, leading to the promotion's decision to pivot to the Cortes-Acosta versus Walker matchup. The card also features a co-main event between recent title challengers Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba.

The main card includes several other bouts, such as Davey Grant against Elijah Smith, Seokhyeon Ko versus Wellington Turman, Billy Elekana against Lucas Fernando, and Mantas Kondratavicius facing Andre Petroski.
