UFC Nov. 7: Cortes-Acosta vs Walker Replaces Bonfim vs Brady as Main Event

If you were looking for "UFC results" for Saturday, Nov. 7, I'll be honest: the fights in Las Vegas are still ahead, there are no results, and I won't invent any. But there is a story that makes it worth checking the card in advance. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Meta APEX, and the main event as originally announced is no longer happening.

Back in August, according to cagesidepress.com, Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady were announced as the headliners. But Brady dropped out with an injury, as bet365 reports in its card breakdown from Nov. 2. Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker took his place. For Cortes-Acosta it is a chance to stop an unpleasant run: after two straight losses he sits sixth in his division's rankings, and a main event role is a great way to regain confidence. The co-main event pairs Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba, in women's strawweight. In all, according to the same source, the card has fourteen fights.

You can watch on Paramount+, but for a Russian viewer the broadcast is, as always, a separate question — it is not in our schedule, and I won't promise what I haven't verified. The start of the main portion in U.S. time, per MMA Mania, was set for 20:00 Eastern for the previous card; I found no confirmation of the time for the new one, so check ufc.com.

The main question of the night is simple: will Cortes-Acosta carry a fight that came to him by chance? Replacements in the UFC are a classic recipe for an upset, and we'll revisit the results when they come in.
