    UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs. Bonfim Preview, Full Card, How to Watch

    UFC Fight Night returns to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 6, with a welterweight main event carrying real title-picture stakes. Former champion Belal Muhammad faces rising Brazilian contender Gabriel Bonfim in a 12-fight card streaming on Paramount+.

    Key Points

    • Main event: Belal Muhammad, ranked #5 at welterweight, looks to snap a two-fight skid against #11-ranked Gabriel Bonfim, who rides a four-fight win streak.
    • Co-main: #4 middleweight Brendan Allen meets Edmen Shahbazyan in a striker-versus-grinder matchup.
    • How to Watch: Prelims at 5 PM ET, main card at 8 PM ET, all on Paramount+.

    What’s at Stake

    Muhammad lost the welterweight title to Jack Della Maddalena and followed it with a decision loss to Ian Garry, the first back-to-back defeats of his career. A win keeps him in the contender mix. A loss likely drops him out of the title conversation entirely while Bonfim, beating a former champ, fast-tracks himself toward an elimination bout or a shot at gold.

    Fights to Watch

    Welterweight: Belal Muhammad vs. Gabriel Bonfim

    A classic wrestler-versus-striker test that decides who stays relevant at the top of 170 pounds.

    • The matchup: Muhammad’s blueprint is to close distance, secure ties, and grind opponents into the fence. Bonfim wants to keep it standing and let his aggressive striking work.
    • The skid: Muhammad arrives off losses to Jack Della Maddalena and Ian Garry, the first two-fight slide of his career. Garry’s stock has only climbed since, with Islam Makhachev naming him the No. 1 welterweight contender.
    • The run: Bonfim enters on a four-fight win streak, most recently beating Randy Brown, in his second straight main event.
    • The question: Bonfim’s cardio has been flagged in three-round fights, raising doubts about how he handles a five-round headliner against a relentless pace.

    Middleweight: Brendan Allen vs. Edmen Shahbazyan

    The #4-ranked Allen draws a dangerous early finisher in Shahbazyan.

    • The styles: Shahbazyan is most threatening in the opening minutes; Allen’s grinding, submission-heavy approach is built to drag fights into deep water.
    • The stakes: A win keeps Allen near the title picture at 185 pounds.

    Lightweight: Farès Ziam vs. Tom Nolan

    Ranked #14 Ziam takes a sizable betting favorite role against Australia’s Tom Nolan in a contender-tier lightweight bout.

    Bantamweight: Bryce Mitchell vs. Santiago Luna

    Mitchell moves into a bantamweight scrap against Mexico’s Santiago Luna on the main card.

  • UFC’s 3-Year Sellout Streak Ends at Fight Night in Mexico City

    UFC’s 3-Year Sellout Streak Ends at Fight Night in Mexico City

    UFC Fight Night 268 drew an announced attendance of 16,454 at Arena CDMX on Saturday, February 28, making it the first UFC event held in Mexico in three years to fail to sell out. Roughly 3,500 seats were left empty, and the UFC declined to announce a live gate figure — an unusual omission that further underscored the shortfall.

    Chilean MMA reporter Rodrigo Del Campo González was among the first to report the streak’s end, noting that previous UFC Mexico events had sold out consistently since at least 2023.

    The non-sellout came despite the card being headlined by Mexico’s own Brandon Moreno, a two-time UFC Flyweight Champion fighting in front of his home crowd. Moreno’s original opponent, top-ranked contender Asu Almabayev, withdrew with an injury weeks before the event, forcing the UFC to slot in unranked Englishman Lone’er Kavanagh as a late replacement.

    Kavanagh ultimately delivered one of the night’s biggest storylines, defeating Moreno via unanimous decision in the five-round main event and claiming the biggest win of his career, per the BBC. Moreno falls to 23-10-2 with the loss.

    A contributin factors to the attendance dip could be the civil unrest in Mexico in the days preceding the event, stemming from cartel-related violence in the Jalisco region following the death of cartel leader El Mencho.

    UFC Fight Night 268 (Moreno vs. Kavanagh) had a perfect weigh-in session on Friday, February 27, with all 26 fighters successfully making weight ahead of Saturday’s event at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.

    • Francis Marshall (145) vs. Erik Silva (146)
    • Damian Pinas (186) vs. Wesley Schultz (186)

    This marks the second consecutive week with a flawless UFC weigh-in, following a stretch of early 2026 incidents that included Cameron Smotherman collapsing after stepping off the scale at UFC 324.

    Kavanagh stepped in on short notice to replace the injured Asu Almabayev for the main event, making this his first-ever UFC headliner.

  • Regina Tarin Debuts at UFC Fight Night This Saturday

    Regina Tarin Debuts at UFC Fight Night This Saturday

    Regina Tarin will make her long-awaited UFC debut this Saturday after stepping in on short notice to replace Sofia Montenegro at UFC Mexico City on February 28.

    According to MMA reporter Marcel Dorff, Montenegro has withdrawn from her scheduled women’s flyweight prelim bout against Ernesta Kareckaite for undisclosed reasons. Tarin, an undefeated 21-year-old Mexican prospect, has answered the call as her replacement.

    Tarin Brings 7-0 Record and Major Hype to UFC Debut

    Nicknamed “Kill Bill,” Tarin has compiled a perfect 7-0 professional record with finishes in six of seven bouts — four by knockout and two by submission. The lone decision came against Andrea Garcia in 2024.

    The Mexico City native won the Budo Sento Championship women’s bantamweight title with a fourth-round TKO of Luisa Cifuentes and also competed on Combate Global, where she stopped Kaytlin Neil — a veteran of Season 30 of The Ultimate Fighter. Three of her first four professional bouts ended in the opening round.

    Due to the short-notice nature of the booking, the bout will be contested at a catchweight of 130 pounds rather than the standard 125-pound flyweight limit.

    Kareckaite Returns From 13-Month Layoff

    Kareckaite, a Lithuanian fighter who earned her UFC contract by beating Carli Judice via split decision on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023, holds a 1-1 record in the Octagon. She dropped a unanimous decision to Dione Barbosa at UFC 301 before bouncing back with a split decision win over Nicolle Caliari in January 2025.

    “Heavy-Handed” returns from more than a year away from competition when she welcomes Tarin to the UFC this weekend.

    UFC Mexico City Card Reshaped by Late Changes

    The Tarin-Kareckaite replacement is the second significant shake-up to hit the UFC Mexico City card this fight week. Brandon Moreno is also facing a replacement opponent in the main event after original foe Asu Almabayev withdrew due to a hand injury, with Lone’er Kavanagh stepping in.

    Tarin’s debut carries extra narrative weight — she was originally booked for a DWCS appearance in 2025 before pulling out, with Montenegro filling her slot. Now the roles have reversed, and the undefeated prospect gets an even bigger stage for her promotional introduction on home soil. She is one of six DWCS Season 9 contract winners making their UFC debuts on the card this Saturday.

    UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh takes place at Arena CDMX on Saturday, February 28, streaming live on Paramount+ in the United States.

  • 6 Debuts at UFC Fight Night Mexico City

    6 Debuts at UFC Fight Night Mexico City

    Six fighters who earned contracts on Dana White’s Contender Series Season 9 will make their UFC debuts this Saturday night at UFC Fight Night: Mexico City (February 28, 8 PM ET, Paramount+).

    UFC Fight Night: Mexico City Debuts

    The debuting fighters span three weight classes. Each of these competitors get a “second chance to make a first impression” and look to capitalize on their momentum. Making their first Octagon appearances are:

    Flyweights

    • Imanol Rodriguez (Main card, fighting Kevin Borjas): Rodriguez is an undefeated 6-0 Mexican prospect who competed on The Ultimate Fighter Season 33 and then earned his UFC contract with a first-round TKO on DWCS Season 9. All six of his professional wins have come by stoppage, including five knockouts.
    • Regina Tarin (Prelims, fighting Ernesta Kareckaite, replaces Sofia Montenegro): The Undefeated Mexican fighter makes her UFC debut against Ernesta Kareckaite. Tarin steps in on late notice, replacing Sofia Montenegro, but the young prospect has shown she is ready to meet the moment.

    Featherweight

    • Javier Reyes (Prelims, fighting Douglas Silva de Andrade: The 17-4 veteran from Mexico earned his contract with a first-round TKO on DWCS Season 9, finishing Justice Torres with knees and punches. The experienced Reyes will be the most seasoned debutant on the card record-wise.

    Middleweights

    • Ryan Gandra (Prelims, fighting Jose Daniel Medina): The 30-year-old Brazilian (8-1) secured his contract with a first-round TKO on DWCS Season 9 and rides a seven-fight winning streak into his debut, boasting a 75% finishing rate. He enters as a heavy favorite at -625.
    • Damian Pinas (Prelims, fighting Wes Schultz): In a unique DWCS-vs-DWCS matchup, 23-year-old Surinamese prospect Pinas (8-1) — who earned his contract with a first-round TKO on DWCS — faces fellow debutant Schultz.
    • Wes Schultz: (Prelims, fighting Damian Pinas): The American (8-2) earned his UFC contract on DWCS Season 9 with a rare Suloev stretch submission finish over Mario Mingaj, showcasing creative grappling that impressed Dana White. He and Pinas are the only two fighters on the card where both men are making their UFC debut simultaneously.

  • Curtis Blaydes vs. Josh Hokit Set for UFC 327 in Miami

    Curtis Blaydes vs. Josh Hokit Set for UFC 327 in Miami

    Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hokit will collide in a heavyweight bout at UFC 327 on April 11, 2026, live from Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The matchup pits a seasoned veteran against one of the division’s most exciting undefeated prospects.

    Blaydes Looking to Rebuild Title Momentum

    Blaydes (19-5-0, 1 NC) enters the fight looking to re-establish himself in the heavyweight title picture. The 33-year-old Chicago native is a former top-five contender with 13 TKO victories on his record and most recently earned a split-decision win over Rizvan Kuniev at a UFC Fight Night event in June 2025.

    Back-to-back losses to elite competition in recent years have made a convincing performance here essential if “Razor” wants to work his way back into championship contention.

    Hokit Brings a Perfect Record Into the Biggest Fight of His Career

    Hokit (8-0-0) is as clean as they come on paper — eight fights, eight finishes, zero decisions. “The Incredible Hok” has five knockouts and three submissions to his name and is coming off a first-round TKO of Denzel Freeman at UFC 324 in January 2026. Now 2-0 inside the Octagon, Hokit is ready to take the significant step up in competition that a fight with Blaydes represents.

    A win over Blaydes would immediately vault Hokit into the top-15 heavyweight rankings and signal to the division that a new contender has arrived.

    UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh Preview, How to Watch

    UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh is a 13-fight card from Arena CDMX built around Brandon Moreno’s high‑stakes homecoming main event against short-notice spoiler Lone’er Kavanagh.

    Event overview & how to watch

    • Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026

    • Start times: Prelims 5 p.m. ET, Main card 8 p.m. ET
    • Streaming: Entire event live on Paramount+ in the U.S. (regional broadcasters vary internationally).

    Main event spotlight: Moreno vs. Kavanagh

    Brandon Moreno returns to Mexico City as the former two‑time UFC flyweight champion and one of the promotion’s most accomplished Mexican stars, now looking to steady the ship after recent setbacks. He was originally slated to face surging contender Asu Almabayev, but a hand injury forced Almabayev out, opening the door for England’s Lone’er Kavanagh to step in on roughly two weeks’ notice.

    Moreno brings a wealth of big‑fight experience, a deep gas tank and a well-rounded game built on volume boxing, scrambling and opportunistic submissions. Kavanagh, 26, is an aggressive striker with real pop, a 9‑1 record and four knockouts, who earned his way in via Dana White’s Contender Series and now finds himself in a massive rankings jump against the division’s No. 6.

    Between Moreno’s pressure and Kavanagh’s willingness to trade, this shapes up as a fast-paced, crowd‑pleasing fight where the former champ must stay disciplined defensively against a hungry underdog swinging free with nothing to lose.

    • Depth: With 13 scheduled bouts and several all‑action pairings, the card is designed as a showcase for Mexican and Latin American fighters across divisions, not just the headliner.
  • Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer Headlines UFC Fight Night in Seattle on March 28

    Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer Headlines UFC Fight Night in Seattle on March 28

    The UFC has officially announced a marquee middleweight clash for the Pacific Northwest: Israel Adesanya will face Joe Pyfer in the main event of UFC Fight Night 271: Adesanya vs. Pyfer on Saturday, March 28, at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. The card streams live on Paramount+.

    Adesanya (24-5), the two-time UFC Middleweight Champion, looks to snap a brutal three-fight losing skid and reassert himself among the division’s elite. The Nigerian-New Zealander known as “The Last Stylebender” made history during his first title reign with five consecutive successful defenses, and reclaimed the belt in spectacular fashion with a second-round knockout of Alex Pereira at UFC 287 in April 2023.

    Since then, however, the wheels have come off: he dropped the title to Sean Strickland by unanimous decision at UFC 293, was submitted by Dricus du Plessis in a championship rematch at UFC 305, and was stopped by TKO just 30 seconds into round two by Nassourdine Imavov at a UFC Fight Night in Riyadh in February 2025. A strong performance in Seattle could go a long way toward turning the page on that difficult stretch and putting him back in the title conversation.

    Standing across from him is the surging Joe Pyfer (15-3), one of the most exciting young talents in the 185-pound division. Nicknamed “Bodybagz” for good reason, Pyfer has racked up nine knockout victories and four Performance of the Night bonuses in his UFC tenure, quickly building a reputation as one of middleweight’s most dangerous finishers. Currently ranked No. 15 in the division, a statement win over a legend like Adesanya would be the biggest result of his career and could vault him into the upper tier of the rankings.

    UFC Fight Night 271: Adesanya vs. Pyfer takes place March 28 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle and airs live on Paramount+. The full fight card is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

  • UFC Winnipeg Fight Night: Burns vs Malott Set for April 18

    UFC Winnipeg Fight Night: Burns vs Malott Set for April 18

    The UFC has officially announced its return to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with a welterweight main event pitting Gilbert Burns against Mike Malott.

    The event, a UFC Fight Night card in Winnipeg, takes place on Saturday, April 18 from the Canada Life Centre. The announcement marks the promotion’s first visit to Manitoba since December 2017, when the UFC last held an event in the Canadian province.

    The scoop was first reported by veteran MMA reporter Adam Martin yesterday, and confirmed this afternoon.

    Burns (22-9 MMA, 15-9 UFC) is currently on the longest losing skid of his career at four straight defeats. The 39-year-old former title challenger was most recently stopped by Michael Morales in the first round at UFC Vegas 106 in May 2025. Despite the rough stretch, all four of Burns’ losses have come against ranked opposition in Morales, Sean Brady, Jack Della Maddalena, and Belal Muhammad. “Durinho” hasn’t tasted victory since a decision win over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 287 in April 2023.

    Malott (13-2-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) enters the bout riding a three-fight winning streak and will be looking to make the most of his first UFC main event opportunity. The Canadian earned a unanimous decision victory over Kevin Holland at a UFC event in Vancouver in October and knocked out Charles Radtke at UFC 315 in May. The 34-year-old earned his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2021, and his only Octagon loss came against Neil Magny.

    The matchup represents a classic crossroads bout. Burns brings elite experience as a former welterweight title challenger and decorated BJJ world champion, while Malott looks to use a victory over a big name to break into the upper tier of the 170-pound division. Headlining in front of a Canadian crowd adds another layer for Malott, who has thrived in previous outings on home soil.

    Additional bouts for the UFC Winnipeg card are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

  • Strickland, Hernandez Make Weight for UFC Houston

    Strickland, Hernandez Make Weight for UFC Houston

    Sean Strickland and Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez have both made weight for their main event bout at UFC Houston, with Strickland admitting the weight cut was harder on him than any fight could be.

    Strickland stepped on the scale first and hit 185lb on the dot — going one pound under the non-title limit in what reads as a statement of intent from the former middleweight champion. Hernandez made use of the extra allowance and came in at 186lb, making the fight officially on for Saturday night.

    Strickland’s Brutal Cut

    The road to the scale was not easy for Strickland, who has been out of action for over a year since losing his title rematch with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312 last February. During his absence, his weight ballooned to a reported 230lb — nearly two full weight classes above the 185lb middleweight limit.

    Strickland shared a video on his Instagram story the night before weigh-ins showing the toll the cut was taking. He posted screenshots of an intense two-hour workout that burned 1,214 calories, with his heart rate climbing from a resting 38bpm to highs of 141bpm during the hardest stretches.

    “This is what we really get paid to do,” Strickland told his followers. “Cutting weight is worse than the fight, but we are almost there.”

    It’s not the first time Strickland has struggled with the middleweight limit. Earlier in his career he competed at welterweight, and in 2023 he took a short-notice fight at 204lb after insisting he couldn’t reach 185lb in time. His success at middleweight has kept him in the division, but getting back down after a year at 230lb is a different kind of challenge.

    What’s at Stake Saturday

    Despite the drama surrounding his cut, Strickland arrived at the scale in good shape and ready to go. With Nassourdine Imavov as the current top contender for Khamzat Chimaev’s middleweight title, a statement win for Strickland — the last man to defeat Imavov, back in January 2023 — would put him firmly back in the title picture.

    Hernandez enters on an eight-fight winning streak, including victories over Brendan Allen and Roman Dolidze, and is favored by the oddsmakers heading into Saturday night in Houston.

  • “I Need This Belt” – Anthony Hernandez’s Game Plan for UFC Houston

    “I Need This Belt” – Anthony Hernandez’s Game Plan for UFC Houston

    Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez arrived at UFC Houston media day with one message: he’s not here to survive a main event, he’s here to take over the UFC middleweight division.

    In a sit-down with Full Send MMA’s Shawny Mack, Hernandez laid out his strategy against former champion Sean Strickland and made clear the stakes couldn’t feel higher to him heading into Saturday night.

    “I don’t know what I’m going to get, but at the end of the day I’m going to cut off the cage and I’m going to stay in his face and make him hate his life and regret calling me out,” Hernandez said. “I need that spot. I need this belt. This is the perfect fight for me.”

    Who Goes Backwards First?

    Much of the pre-fight chatter around this matchup has centered on which version of Strickland shows up. Will it be the aggressive pressure fighter or the more passive, disengaged version that appeared in some recent bouts? Hernandez isn’t building a game plan around either option. He’s focused on imposing his own.

    “He says he always brings it and he comes forward. We’ll see who goes backwards first.”

    His strategy is built on cage-cutting — suffocating Strickland’s ability to create distance and making the fight ugly and physical from the opening bell. The main event is five rounds, which plays directly into Hernandez’s relentless pace.

    More Than a Grappler

    Hernandez has built his eight-fight win streak largely on the strength of his wrestling and grinding pressure, but he pushed back firmly on being labeled a one-dimensional fighter. Against Strickland, he says, fans are going to see the full package.

    “Everybody knows me as this grappling guy, but I’ve said it myself — I like to strike. I’m really good at grappling, but that’s just what I’ve done to win,” he said. “And now I finally get a guy that I can strike with. I’m planning on giving everyone a show. I’m going to go out there and show that I know how to do martial arts at the highest level of MMA. I’m going to mix it up and I’m going to keep it nasty. I’m going to make his life hell.”

    Strickland, meanwhile, has said publicly he believes he’s the better wrestler and predicts the fight becomes a kickboxing match. Hernandez isn’t buying it — but he’s also not spending energy on the back-and-forth. His focus is the performance.

    “Tune in. It’s two violent motherf***ers getting to face each other. I hope you guys enjoy the show.”

    UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez goes down Saturday, February 21 from Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, streaming live on Paramount+. The winner is widely expected to be next in line for Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC Middleweight Championship.

    UFC Fight Night Houston Preview: Strickland vs. Hernandez Card

    UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez takes place this Saturday, February 21, 2026 from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The card streams live on Paramount+ and features a middleweight main event with massive title implications, as former champion Sean Strickland takes on the surging Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez in a five-round headliner.

    A Pivotal Night for UFC’s Middleweight Division

    The middleweight division has undergone a rapid changing of the guard over the past two years. Khamzat Chimaev captured the title with a dominant decision over Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 in August 2025, and the undefeated champion has indicated he plans to defend only once more at 185 pounds before pursuing a second belt at light heavyweight. That timeline makes Saturday’s main event feel like a true title eliminator, with the winner likely next in line for Chimaev.

    This card also marks the UFC’s tenth visit to Houston and its first since UFC 271 in February 2022, when Israel Adesanya defended his middleweight title against Robert Whittaker in front of nearly 18,000 fans.

    Middleweight Main Event: Sean Strickland vs. Anthony Hernandez

    This is the fight the middleweight division has been building toward. Sean Strickland (29-7) hasn’t competed since losing to Dricus du Plessis in their title rematch at UFC 312 in February 2025. A suspension stemming from a physical altercation at a Tuff-N-Uff event last summer further delayed his return, but the former middleweight champion completed anger management and has been cleared to compete. At 34, the outspoken Californian insists he’s the only fighter at 185 pounds capable of dethroning Chimaev.

    Standing across from him will be one of the most dangerous contenders in the division. Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez (15-2) owns an eight-fight win streak and holds the distinction of having the longest active winning streak in UFC middleweight history without receiving a title shot. Over that run, Hernandez has brutalized Michel Pereira, broken Chris Weidman’s UFC middleweight takedown record against Brendan Allen, and submitted Roman Dolidze for a Performance of the Night bonus. An injury forced him to withdraw from a scheduled title eliminator against Reinier de Ridder last October, but Hernandez is healthy and hungry.

    The stylistic matchup is fascinating. Strickland thrives standing behind his jab and forward pressure, while Hernandez’s relentless wrestling and grinding pace have overwhelmed everyone in his path. Former champion Dricus du Plessis predicted the fight will go the distance, noting that Strickland’s ability to get back to his feet after takedowns could neutralize Hernandez’s grappling. Hernandez is the significant betting favorite at nearly 3-to-1, but Strickland’s experience against elite competition — including wins over Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa — makes him a live underdog. The stakes are enormous: a win likely earns a shot at Chimaev’s title.

    Welterweight Co-Main Event: Geoff Neal vs. Uroš Medić

    Houston native Geoff Neal (16-7) returns to his home city under emotional circumstances. In a candid recent interview, “Handz of Steel” revealed he has been privately battling drug and alcohol addiction for five years, dating back to the COVID-19 pandemic. The No. 12-ranked welterweight says he’s now sober and clear-headed for the first time in years, crediting his wife and a disciplined recovery program for the turnaround.

    Uroš Medić (12-3) is one of the most explosive finishers at 170 pounds. The Serbian striker has delivered back-to-back first-round knockouts and holds the rare distinction of having every single one of his UFC fights end in a stoppage. With eight career knockouts and seven first-round finishes, this matchup screams fireworks.

    Featherweight: Dan Ige vs. Melquizael Costa

    Veteran Dan Ige (19-10) continues to stay active against dangerous opposition. The Hawaiian featherweight has been a mainstay in the UFC’s 145-pound division for years and will look to use his experience edge against Melquizael Costa (25-7), a Brazilian finisher who adds international intrigue to the main card.

    Heavyweight: Serghei Spivac vs. Ante Delija

    Serghei Spivac (17-6) takes on 2022 PFL Heavyweight Tournament winner Ante Delija (26-7) in a battle of big men with grappling pedigrees. This bout was originally scheduled for UFC 325 before being moved to the Houston card. Spivac is the more established UFC heavyweight, while the Croatian Delija looks to make a statement in his ongoing Octagon career.

    Welterweight: Jacobe Smith vs. Seokhyeon Ko

    Keep an eye on Jacobe Smith (11-0). The undefeated welterweight prospect is a two-time NJCAA wrestling champion and Oklahoma State All-American who has finished every opponent since entering the UFC, including a first-round knockout of Preston Parsons and a submission of veteran Niko Price. He faces Seokhyeon Ko (7-0), who is also unbeaten. Something has to give in this clash of rising 170-pounders.

    Middleweight: Zach Reese vs. Michel Pereira

    Zach Reese and Michel Pereira round out the main card with a middleweight bout that should deliver action. Pereira is always one of the most entertaining fighters on any card he appears on, while Reese looks to continue climbing the 185-pound ranks.

    Match Previews

    Main Event – Bantamweight: Mario Bautista vs. Vinicius Oliveira

    UFC Vegas 113 (Fight Night: Bautista vs Oliveira)

    Mario Bautista (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) receives his first UFC main event assignment at a critical juncture in his career. The 32-year-old MMA Lab product had an eight-fight winning streak snapped by Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 321 this past October. Before that setback, Bautista had built an impressive resume that included wins over former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo at UFC 307 and former Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix at UFC 316.

    Bautista is a well-rounded fighter who excels in the clinch and with his grappling, though his methodical style has drawn criticism from fans and UFC President Dana White alike. He has said he is looking to get back on track and has already called for a rematch with Cory Sandhagen if he can earn a convincing victory here.

    Vinicius Oliveira (23-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has looked like a legitimate contender since arriving in the promotion. The 25-year-old Brazilian debuted with a spectacular flying knee knockout on the Contender Series, then went on to compile decision wins over Said Nurmagomedov and Kyler Phillips in 2025 to climb to No. 11 in the rankings. He has won six straight and 12 of his last 13 overall. Aggressive and powerful, “Lok Dog” has the tools to break into the Top 10 with a fifth consecutive UFC victory.

    This is a classic matchup of Bautista’s calculated pressure and chaining grappling against Oliveira’s explosiveness and finishing ability. The five-round format benefits Bautista if he can grind the pace, but Oliveira’s youth and momentum make him a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. With both Sean O’Malley and Umar Nurmagomedov already logging victories to start the year, neither man can afford a loss if they want to remain in the bantamweight title conversation.

    Co-Main Event – Flyweight: Amir Albazi vs. Kyoji Horiguchi

    Amir Albazi (17-2 MMA) returns to action for the first time since a November 2024 decision loss to Brandon Moreno at UFC Edmonton that snapped his six-fight winning streak. The 32-year-old Iraqi-Swedish fighter has dealt with a series of health issues in recent years, including heart surgery and a neck injury that could have left him paralyzed if untreated. Despite those setbacks, “The Prince” remains No. 6 in the flyweight rankings and believes he has what it takes to contend for the title.

    Kyoji Horiguchi (35-5 MMA) made an emphatic statement in his UFC return at UFC Qatar last November, submitting Tagir Ulanbekov with a rear-naked choke to earn a Performance of the Night bonus. The 35-year-old Japanese legend holds championship pedigree across three promotions — a former RIZIN Flyweight and two-time Bantamweight champion and a former Bellator Bantamweight champion. He is currently on a six-fight winning streak and sits at No. 8 in the flyweight rankings.

    This fight carries major title implications at 125 pounds. With the flyweight division in flux and contenders like Tatsuro Taira and Manel Kape also in the mix, the winner here could stake a strong claim for a title shot later in the year. The stylistic contrast is compelling: Albazi’s wrestling-first approach and improving striking against Horiguchi’s speed, angles, and veteran savvy. It should come down to whether Albazi can close the distance and impose his grappling or whether Horiguchi keeps the fight at range.

    Heavyweight: Jailton Almeida vs. Rizvan Kuniev

    No. 6-ranked Jailton Almeida (22-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC) stepped in on three weeks’ notice to replace Ryan Spann for this bout. “Malhadinho” dropped a controversial split decision to Alexander Volkov at UFC 321 in his last outing but remains one of the most dangerous grapplers in the heavyweight division. He has seven finishes in eight UFC wins, six of which came in the first round.

    Rizvan Kuniev (12-3-1 MMA) earned his UFC contract through the Contender Series and lost a competitive split decision to Curtis Blaydes in his Octagon debut at UFC Baku. The Russian brings a dangerous striking arsenal and has nothing to lose against a ranked opponent. For Almeida, this is a chance to get back in the win column and remind the division why he was knocking on the door of a title shot just months ago.

    Bantamweight: Jean Matsumoto vs. Farid Basharat

    Two rising bantamweight prospects collide in what could be one of the most competitive fights on the card. Jean Matsumoto has gone 3-1 in his UFC career and is coming off a solid win, while Farid Basharat has compiled a 3-1 UFC record of his own after graduating from the Contender Series. The winner could push toward the Top 15 by year’s end, making this an important stepping stone for both fighters.

    Light Heavyweight: Dustin Jacoby vs. Julius Walker

    Dustin Jacoby opens the main card with back-to-back stoppage wins under his belt and is looking to re-enter the light heavyweight rankings. “The Hanyak” was originally scheduled to compete at UFC 325 last weekend but pivoted to this event, cornering teammate Cody Brundage in Sydney before flying to Las Vegas for his own fight. Julius Walker enters his sophomore year on the UFC roster looking for a second consecutive victory.

Though Walker had a bizarre takedown attempt to start the fight, and Mingyang controlled the action in the first round with his strikes, a calf kick changed things in the second. One of Walker’s calf kicks caused Mingyang to go to the mat in pain, and Walker swarmed the Chinese fighter. Mingyang’s efforts to defend and get back to his feet were for naught, and Walker scored the second round finish.

    The co-main event of the evening saw Aljamain Sterling win a bizarre and lackluster 153-pound catchweight contest with Brian Ortega. Ortega, who already had plenty of controversy surrounding him and his concerning weight cut, put up little offense until a flurry and desperate submission efforts in the fifth round. Sterling went on to sweep the scorecards.

    The rest of the main card saw Sergei Pavlovich defeat Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Su Mudaerij earn a decision over Kevin Borjas, and Taiyilake Nueraji defeat Keifer Crosbie.

    UFC Fight Night: Roman Dolidze vs. Anthony Hernandez takes place on Saturday, and MMA News is here to bring you the official weigh-in results.

    After returning to the UFC APEX for the first time in about two months last week, the UFC is at its Las Vegas headquarters for a second straight week of Fight Night action. Though there isn’t another UFC APEX Fight Night scheduled for a while, UFC Vegas 109 also marks the last bit of action before the new Dana White’s Contender Series season.

    The main event of the evening will be a middleweight matchup featuring Roman Dolidze against Anthony Hernandez. Dolidze enters with a three-fight win streak that includes a decision over Anthony Smith, a finish of Kevin Holland, and a decision over Marvin Vettori. “Fluffy” has won seven straight and eight of his last nine, including a decision win over Brendan Allen in February.

    Former flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg will be competing in the co-main event, moving up a weight class and looking to snap a three-fight losing skid against Ode’ Osbourne. While Erceg has failed to get a win since his UFC 301 title shot against Alexandre Pantoja, Osbourne snapped his own skid in April with a finish of Luis Gurule.

    The rest of the card will also feature the likes of Angela Hill, Andre Fili, Miles Johns, and Eryk Anders.
