Johnny Walker wanted to take it slow at heavyweight, then UFC called
Published

November 8, 2026
Johnny
Walker's heavyweight run is going faster than he planned.What a victory over Waldo Cortes-Acosta could mean for 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.

Ilia Topuria goes in on Paddy Pimblett, open to coaching against him on The Ultimate Fighter
Published
18 hours agoon
November 8, 2026
For years, Topuria and Pimblett have been embroiled in a heated rivalry, but the two have yet to settle things in the cage. After Topuria won the lightweight title last year, Pimblett even entered the cage to set up a showdown between the two. Ultimately, that never materialized as Topuria took time off for personal reasons and Pimblett lost an interim lightweight title fight with Justin Gaethje in January.
But after Topuria also lost to Gaethje in their title unification bout at UFC White House, the path is now clear for the two to settle their bad blood, and Topuria says there's even the possibility that their rivalry will headline the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
“Paddy, Paddy, Paddy… I'll eat him up like the sausage he is!†Topuria told ABC.es. “There are no easy opponents. Paddy's a guy to be reckoned with, but come on, with that head of his, you just aim the punch that way and hit him.
“I've heard some rumors [about The Ultimate Fighter], but I haven't had any conversations with the UFC. I don't know what their interests are. When we resume talks with them, we'll see if we're on the same page. There are still good times ahead, but what matters most to me is getting back to training, feeling healthy and well, and then we'll be ready for whatever comes up.â€
While there's still no official word on whether or not the UFC is interested in Topuria and Pimblett coaching opposite each other on The Ultimate Fighter, Pimblett has also called for it, suggesting the two could “bring the ratings back†to the program. Also, unsurprisingly, Pimblett thinks he would get the better of Topuria, both on the show and in the cage, which Topuria disputes.
â€If you listen to him, he'll say, ‘He beats me at everything,' but I beat him at anything I want,†Topuria said. “After a loss, it's hard to talk about these things, but Paddy, on the ground, just grappling, doesn't win a single point against me. He doesn't take me down, he doesn't pass my guard, he doesn't do anything. I don't see him as being any better than me on the ground. He's a pushover, he's got a sausage body, he thinks his size gives him an advantage, but he can't do anything.
“He's not like Justin. Justin is a dog; he knows how to dodge punches, he's very experienced, and he's very freestyle. He does things that, to me, are poorly executed, but they're effective. Paddy has nothing, no knockout punch, no unexpected takedowns, no submissions out of nowhere. Paddy is very predictable; you can see his intentions.â€
And if the Pimblett fight does materialize and Topuria looks as impressive as he thinks he will, then “El Matador†believes that even the welterweight title fight with Islam Makhachev that he lost when Gaethje upset him could be back on the table.
“Everything can make sense again, of course,†Topuria said. “Yeah, it's going out there for my next fight, knocking out Paddy, and everyone's going to be like, ‘WOW, look how focused Ilia is!' You're only as good as your last fight.â€

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.
