Magomed Ankalaev Set For First Main Event Of 2024
11 months agoMagomed Ankalaev is set to face Johnny Walker in a main event of UFC Vegas 84 on Saturday. This light heavyweight bout is a rematch of the clash that took place at UFC 294 in October. It was that event's only disappointing fight, as it was stopped due to an accidental but illegal knee strike from Ankalaev which rendered Walker unable to continue, leading to a declaration of No Contest. Ankalaev is unbeaten over his past 11 octagon appearances, including wins over Anthony Smith, Volkan Oezdemir, and Thiago Santos. He fought to a split draw with Jan Blachowicz in a shot at the vacant UFC light heavyweight title. DraftKings sees Ankalaev as the favorite with a salary of $9,400. He averages 83.1 fantasy points per contest throughout 11 UFC bouts.
