Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker headline UFC Fight Night on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A critical welterweight clash between Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady was originally scheduled to kick off the UFC's November calendar, but Sean Brady was forced out due to an undisclosed injury.
Now, the heavyweight division takes center stage for the main event featuring Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker. Cortes-Acosta enters looking to rebound, after losing two consecutive bouts. Ranked No. 6 in the division, a statement win will keep his trajectory in the right direction.
Walker is riding high after competing in October at UFC 332, where he secured a Performance of the Night bonus with a first-round knockout victory over Mick Parkin in his official heavyweight debut. For the Dana White's Contender Series alum, a decisive win could help him break into the rankings.
Following previous schedule changes, the co-main event features a high-stakes strawweight showdown between Tatiana Suarez (13-1-0) and Virna Jandiroba (23-4-0). Both athletes competed for a championship belt last year, and the winner of this elite matchup could be Mackenzie Dern's next challenger.
