Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker made weight for Saturday’s heavyweight main event at the UFC’s Las Vegas Fight Night, with Cortes-Acosta weighing 262 pounds and Walker 239—a 23-pound difference. The bout was assembled after Sean Brady’s injury scrapped the scheduled headliner against Gabriel Bonfim; Walker is coming off a first-round knockout in his heavyweight debut. Co-main-event strawweights Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba also made weight at 115.5 and 116 pounds, respectively, for a matchup between former title challengers seeking to strengthen their place in the championship picture.

Tom Nolan rallied from Renato Moicano’s early grappling control to stop the Brazilian with ground-and-pound in the third round of UFC Vegas 123, earning the biggest win of his career. The result was clouded by criticism of referee Dan Miragliotta’s second-round stand-up, which interrupted Moicano’s back control and shifted the fight’s momentum.

Foster, Navarrete Set for Super Featherweight Unification

O’Shaquie Foster says his reach, defense and counterpunching can neutralize Emanuel Navarrete’s relentless pressure in their super-featherweight unification fight, while accusing Navarrete of benefiting from size advantages against smaller opponents.
