Magomed Ankalaev left no doubt in his rematch with Johnny Walker in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 234 main event.
After an illegal knee from Ankalaev (19-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) cause his initial meeting with Walker (21-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) at UFC 294 in October to end in a no contest, the rematch at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas had no controversy.
Ankalaev defeated Walker by second-round knockout, extending his unbeaten streak in the light heavyweight division to 12 fights, and putting the Russian within striking distance of another title shot.
