UFC Vegas 84: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Johnny Walker fight card, start time, channel guide, betting odds

The UFC is back.

After the holiday hiatus, the MMA promotion returns for its first event of 2024 with a fight night from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Headlining the card is a rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker.

Their first fight took place at UFC 294 on Oct. 21, 2023, but ended almost as soon as it started. Ankalaev knee'd Walker illegally and the fight was stopped to allow Walker to continue. But during the break, the worst cage-side doctor ever stopped the fight for seemingly no reason, and the fight was declared a no contest.

Hopefully nothing like that happens again.
