The date of the re-fight between Ankalaev and Walker has become known

Former contender for the UFC light heavyweight title Magomed Ankalaev And Joni Walker will once again share the Octagon on January 13 as part of the UFC Fight Night 234 tournament in Las Vegas. This information was revealed by the Brazilian’s mentor John Kavanagh on the show The MMA Hour.

Let us remind you that the first fight between Ankalaev and Walker took place on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi. In the first round, the doctor did not allow the Brazilian to continue the fight after an illegal knee strike from the Dagestani. The match was eventually declared invalid, as the referee considered that Magomed had unintentionally violated the rules.
