Cortes-Acosta and Walker clear the scales as UFC Vegas 124 goes official

Every fighter on the UFC Vegas 124 card made weight at Friday’s official weigh-ins in Las Vegas, clearing the way for a clean night of action headlined by a heavyweight bout between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker.

Cortes-Acosta tipped the scales at 262 pounds, while Walker came in at 239 — both comfortably inside the 265-pound heavyweight limit. The drama-free session confirmed all 28 fighters across the card are cleared to compete.

Walker (23-10, 1 NC) enters the contest in the main event slot for the fifth time in his UFC career. The 34-year-old Brazilian recently made the move up to heavyweight, announcing his arrival at the new weight class with a knee knockout of Mick Parkin. The Xtreme Couture representative will be looking to build a win streak at 265 pounds.

The co-main event features a compelling strawweight matchup between Virna Jandiroba (116 lbs) and Tatiana Suarez (115.5 lbs), while the bantamweight contest between Davey Grant and Elijah Smith — both at 135.5 lbs — also features on the main card.
