The story
UFC Vegas 124 takes place tonight, November 7, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The event's original main event between Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim was canceled due to an infection, resulting in a replacement bout between heavyweight fighters Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker.
Cortes-Acosta enters the matchup coming off two consecutive decision losses. His opponent, Johnny Walker, moves into the heavyweight division following a knockout victory over Mick Parkin earlier this year. The card also features a strawweight co-main event between Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba, with preliminary action beginning at 5 p.m. ET followed by the main card at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
