In an exhilarating night of fights at UFC Vegas 84, which took place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, January 13, 2024, Magomed Ankalaev emerged as the biggest winner with a devastating second-round knockout victory over Johnny Walker in their highly anticipated Light Heavyweight rematch.

Ankalaev, who had been seeking to bounce back from back-to-back fights that ended without a clear outcome, made a powerful statement with his dominant performance against Walker. The victory not only put him back into the championship picture but also extended his unbeaten streak to an impressive five years. With such a remarkable record, Ankalaev now has a strong case for a shot at the Light Heavyweight title currently held by former Middleweight champion, Alex Pereira.

Meanwhile, Jim Miller also had a memorable night, as he secured a submission win over Gabriel Benitez in the co-main event. Miller, who has been competing inside the Octagon for over 15 years, has been on a roll lately, amassing an impressive 5-1 record since 2021. His victory over Benitez marked his second consecutive win, and Miller wasted no time in calling out former UFC Heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.

While Ankalaev and Miller celebrated their victories, the night proved to be a setback for Johnny Walker. Despite having scored significant wins throughout his UFC career, Walker has struggled in crucial moments when he had the chance to make a statement against higher-ranked opponents. This disappointing loss to Ankalaev adds to his previous defeats against Jamahal Hill, Thiago Santos, and Corey Anderson. It remains uncertain if this latest loss will expedite his planned move up to the Heavyweight division, where Walker believes he may find greater success.

As the dust settles on UFC Vegas 84, fans are already looking ahead to UFC 300 in April, where potential title-contending fights could take place. Magomed Ankalaev's dominating performance might earn him a chance to vie for the Light Heavyweight championship, and Jim Miller's impressive run could see him in action against Brock Lesnar. It remains to be seen how these storylines unfold, but with each event, the world of mixed martial arts continues to captivate fans around the globe.
