UFC Fight Night 293 now features a heavyweight main event between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker after Sean Brady withdrew due to a knee staph infection. The restructured card includes a women's strawweight co-main event with Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba, who have had their fights cancelled twice before. The lineup also includes bouts at bantamweight, welterweight, light heavyweight and middleweight, with some fighters replacing those who withdrew.
The preliminary card features a heavyweight bout between Gabriel Lorenço and Thomas Petersen. The main event is seen as an opportunity for either Cortes-Acosta or Walker to gain a visible win at heavyweight. The strawweight co-main event is considered the more consequential fight, with both fighters bringing strong credentials. The winner is positioned for bigger things in the strawweight division.
