UFC Vegas 124 reportedly loses main event just over a week out with ...
The promotion moved quickly to keep UFC Vegas 124 intact after Sean Brady withdrew, with Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker set for a short-notice heavyweight main event.
- Sean Brady has withdrawn from his UFC Vegas 124 main event against Gabriel Bonfim due to injury. The November 7 fight at the Meta APEX facility in Las Vegas now requires a new opponent for the Brazilian contender.
- Riding significant momentum, Bonfim held a five-fight winning streak dating to his 2023 debut loss. Brady sought to halt this rise after defeating Joaquin Buckley at UFC 328 in May 2026.
- Brazilian journalist Laerte Viana first reported the withdrawal, leaving the UFC seeking a replacement on short notice. Fans have speculated about potential contenders like Jack Della Maddalena or Mike Malott stepping in.
- To preserve the card's stakes, the UFC may elevate the scheduled co-main event between top contenders Virna Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez to headline status. This would keep the November 7 event at full strength.
- This disruption occurs as the UFC hosts back-to-back shows at the Meta APEX facility. Following this event, the promotion moves to New York City and Madison Square Garden for UFC 334.
