UFC Vegas 124 Preview
UFC remains inside Meta APEX for the second straight week here, with Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker as the main event. Cortes-Acosta has found himself off the pace in the title chase lately, after coughing up two decision losses in a row. Walker, meanwhile, introduced himself to the “Land of the Giants” with a cracking knockout over Mick Parkin earlier this year (re-live that here).
The co-main event has Tatiana Suarez vs. Virna Jandiroba. Both these women had unsuccessful title challenges in recent years. This bout might determine which among them has any shot of getting a second title fight at 115 pounds.
Rounding out the main card is Davey Grant vs. Elijah Smith, Billy Elekana vs. Lucas Fernando, Priscila Cachoeira vs. Nina Milosevic and Mitch Raposo vs. Marcus Degli. Smith, Fernando, Milosevic and Degli are the showcase fighters here. UFC will be hoping each of those produces a highlight reel finish.
The featured “Prelims” bout is Road to UFC winner, Keiichiro Nakamura, taking on Ollie Schmid. There are some established veterans on the undercard, too, with Andre Petroski meeting Mantas Kondratavicius, Wellington Turman returning to face Seokhyeon Ko and Karine Silva taking on Gabriella Fernandes.
The “Prelims” also include Thomas Petersen vs. Gabriel Lorenco, Jose Delano vs Murtazali Magomedov, Austin Bashi vs. Carlos Calderon and Jonny Parsons vs. Jose Souza.

Oh no, it’s THEM! (again) 🐜 🐜 🐜
“While the 1954 original dealt with giant mutant ants created by atomic bomb testing in New Mexico, Giacchino’s modern version aims to explore new social themes like immigration and the unknown.”
