The lineup for the UFC’s now-regular fall return to Abu Dhabi continues to build with the addition of a highly anticipated light heavyweight fight. Magomed Ankalaev (18-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) will take on Johnny Walker (21-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in what could be a crucial fight for the 205-pound division, which currently is without a champion after Jamahal Hill vacated the title after an Achilles injury. MMA Junkie confirmed the UFC 294 matchup with two people with knowledge of the booking following an initial report from Vestnik MMA . The people asked to remain anonymous because the UFC has not yet made a formal announcement.
