ABU DHABI – Magomed Ankalaev believes he needs a big change to get to the next level of his career, but it’s not so much a technical improvement. Ankalaev (18-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) returns to the cage Saturday on the main card of UFC 294 . He takes on Johnny Walker in a key light heavyweight matchup. This bout with Walker (21-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) marks the first time Ankalaev will fight since his controversial split draw against Jan Błachowicz for the then-vacant UFC light heavyweight title back in December 2022.
