Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs Johnny Walker

✨ Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker will headline UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. Cortes-Acosta opened his season with a stoppage win over Derrick Lewis but then lost decisions to Alexander Volkov and Curtis Blaydes. Walker recently made his heavyweight debut, knocking out Mick Parkin. The Brazilian has a chance to climb the ranks quickly in his new division, while Cortes-Acosta will look to snap his losing streak.

We favour Walker, whose unorthodox striking could cause Cortes-Acosta serious problems. The Brazilian made an impressive start at heavyweight, showing how dangerous his attacks can be. Cortes-Acosta has a strong boxing arsenal, but he will have to contend with Walker’s unusual striking angles and mobility. After Walker’s successful divisional debut, we expect him to keep winning. Our prediction: Johnny Walker to win.
