Chris Curtis claims the UFC isn’t giving him Luis Hernandez matchup
Chris
Curtis isn't looking to bury the hatchet with Luis
Hernandez.

The beef between Curtis (32-13) and Hernandez (9-0) started at a
Tuff-N-Uff card last year. Hernandez defeated Curtis'
Xtreme Couture teammate Miles
Hunsinger. “The Stache†then proceeded to mock Curtis and
Sean
Strickland, who were cornering Hunsinger. Both Curtis and
Strickland entered the cage before security intervened to stop an
all-out brawl.

Chris Curtis reveals conversations with UFC matchmakers as he
campaigns for Luis
Hernandez fight

Hernandez earned his
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract on
Dana White's Contender Series earlier this month. Curtis claims
he called the UFC matchmakers immediately after, asking for a fight
against the Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputy.

However, the matchmakers allegedly told Curtis that Hernandez was
still too green to fight him. Hernandez then made a 10-day
turnaround for his UFC debut and submitted Sedriques
Dumas on two days' notice at
UFC Vegas 121. Curtis claims he called the matchmakers again
regarding a fight against Hernandez, but was denied a second
time.

Nevertheless, “The Action Man†is willing to wait till the
matchmakers consider Hernandez ready to fight him. A teammate of
Hernandez reportedly told Curtis that “The Stache†was looking to
settle their feud. However, Curtis says he is too petty to let go
of the beef.

“I am petty as hell,†Curtis said on Instagram. “The moment Luis
Hernandez gets signed to the UFC, I message matchmakers. And the
response from both was, ‘He's not ready yet. He's got no fights;
he's not ready yet.' Last night he gets his win; I immediately
messaged matchmakers. And I get the response, ‘He's still not
ready. He's not on your level.' So, I can't fight him right now;
I've tried… But I want him to do well; I want him to get a few
wins. Because the moment he gets a few wins, the moment he is not
brand new in the UFC, I'm gonna fight him. I've been circling this
man like a shark in the water… I'm going to fold this man like a
cheap suitcase. I cannot wait… I ran into one of his boys the other
day; he's like, ‘Oh, [Hernandez] wants to squash the beef.' I told
him I'm gonna pop his head like a grape when I see him. There's no
forgiveness, there's no letting it go… I'm gonna strangle you and
drown you like a bag of unwanted puppies.â€

Johnny Walker wanted to take it slow at heavyweight, then UFC called
Johnny
Walker's heavyweight run is going faster than he planned.

Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweights Sean Brady
and Gabriel
Bonfim were originally scheduled to headline
UFC Vegas 124 on Nov. 7 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. However,
Brady pulled out because of a severe staph infection and the
promotion didn't book a replacement to keep Bonfim on the card.
Walker then accepted the headlining matchup against Waldo
Cortes-Acosta on nine days' notice.

What a victory over Waldo Cortes-Acosta could mean for Johnny
Walker

Walker (23-10, 1 NC) made his heavyweight debut against Mick Parkin
in October, scoring a bonus-winning first-round knockout. The
former light heavyweight recently revealed he originally wanted to
take things slow in his new weight class.

“I was thinking to take small steps and go slow in the division,â€
Walker said at media day ahead of UFC Vegas 124. “See how I feel at
heavyweight. That was my plan. God had different plans than me. God
has better plans for me.â€

Cortes-Acosta (17-4) was riding a three-fight win streak before
losing to Alexander
Volkov and Curtis
Blaydes this year. A win over “Salsa Boy†will launch Walker
into the heavyweight Top 10 in just his second appearance in the
division.

Dricus du Plessis' move to light heavyweight teased by next potential opponent

The Octagon remains at the Apex for tonight's UFC Vegas 124 event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Johnny Walker.

Cortes-Acosta (17-4 MMA) will enter this evening's main event with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘Salsa Boy' is coming off unanimous decision losses to Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov in his most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those setbacks, Waldo had strung together three straight stoppage wins, including a second-round TKO victory over Derrick Lewis.

Meanwhile, Johnny Walker (23-10 MMA) made his return to heavyweight last month and scored first-round knockout victory over Mick Parkin. The 34-year-old Brazilian has gone 2-3 over his past five fights overall.

UFC Vegas 124 is co-headlined by a women's strawweight bout between perennial division contenders Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba.

Suarez (12-1 MMA) will enter the contest on a two-fight winning streak, this after scoring victories over Amanda Lemos and Loopy Godinez in her most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those triumphs, Tatiana had suffered her first career loss at the hands of Weili Zhang in a bout for the women's strawweight title.

Meanwhile, Virna Jandiroba (23-4 MMA) most previously competed this past April, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Tabatha Ricci. Prior to that, ‘Carcará' dropped a decision to Mackenzie Dern in a fight for the promotion's then vacant strawweight title at UFC 321.

Video: Mo Deen’s vicious knockout sparks all-out brawl with chairs, steel barricades flying at Unhinged 3

The influencer boxing scene had a tough night, with a card getting cancelled before the Unhinged 3 main event.

On Saturday, influencer HSTikkyTokky put on a boxing event in Ireland, and in one of the featured contests featured winless Misfits Boxing fighter Mo Deen taking on MrTikTokUK. At long last, Mo Deen got a win, knocking down is overmatched opponent multiple times before delivering a fight-ending knockout.

After the win, Mo Deen leaped into the crowd towards the commentary table, where he attempted to get his hands on English Defence League co-founder and controversial U.K. political activist Tommy Robinson.

From there, Robinson is shown on camera holding a book, and Mo Deen attacked him in the ring, and all hell broke loose. Check out the footage below.

Chairs and even steel barricades were seen being lifted and thrown throughout the melee that took place in and around the ring, and the crowd. A few minutes later, the promotion called the event then and there.
