Following the no contest, it was only right for Walker and Ankalaev to get rebooked ASAP.

The extra layer of fun here is the chaos that’s just about guaranteed with these guys. Ankalaev’s tilts keep getting more and more weird, while Walker has been involved in some wonky situations.

However, after a horribly botched weight cut from Kape, that bout has been altogether. The match being promoted to co main status is im Miller vs. Gabriel Benítez. That’s right. Jim ‘*’ Miller is in the co main event, which should further prepare him for the upcoming UFC 300.
