Complete Fight Card Of UFC Vegas 84
Walker coach John Kavanagh initially announced Walker and Ankalaev’s rematch on The MMA Hour earlier this month. At UFC 294, Ankalaev illegally planted a knee on Walker’s head, sending the two to a no-contest. The cage-side physician then controversially decided to end the bout. Before UFC CEO Dana White entered the stadium to calm the competitors, Walker and Ankalaev objected to the decision and almost got into a fistfight.
Miller is aiming to set new UFC records on his 43rd octagon outing. At 25, he owns the record for both the most appearances and octagon victories. He earned his 14th post-fight performance bonus after he submitted Jesse Butler in the most recent battle at UFC Vegas 74. Benitez, who is currently 7-6 overall in the UFC, most recently defeated Charlie Ontiveros to end a two-fight losing streak.
