After an unsuccessful first meeting, Magomed Ankalaev and Johnny Walker were given another chance, this time, in the main event of UFCFight Night 234, which will take place on January 14 and will open the new fighting year of 2024. Despite the uncertain result of their last match, this time there is even less belief in the Brazilian’s triumph, which is why the gap in odds between the guys has become even greater. But is the Russian's victory so obvious in this light heavyweight clash?

Until September 2023, no one suspected that a certain Sean Strickland, who had lost two of his two fights the year before, would simply walk into the cage and destroy “The Last Stylebender.” Now, as a champion, the American will defend the honor of his country in a fight with the South African, Dricus Du Plessis, who no less sensationally broke into the elite of the middle division. Their couple will head the first numbered tournament of 2024 - UFC 297 and, on January 21, the fate of the belt, which has been changing hands every now and then, will be decided.
