Overview
- Steve Garcia finished David Onama in the first round to extend his win streak to seven and collected a Performance of the Night bonus, then issued high-profile callouts that signal a push for top-10 opposition.
- Waldo Cortes-Acosta knocked out Ante Delija after a pause for a confirmed eye poke and replay-assisted restart, with the result standing as Delija publicly questioned the procedure and no appeal outcome announced.
- Cortes-Acosta posted on X requesting a December 13 booking to log a fifth fight in 2025, which would tie the UFC single-year activity mark for heavyweights set by Greg Hardy.
- Sportsbooks suspended prop markets and some refunded bets around Yadier del Valle vs. Isaac Dulgarian after unusual odds movement, and multiple outlets reported Dulgarian has been released as betting integrity questions linger.
- The Apex card produced eight finishes in 13 bouts, fueling rapid matchmaking chatter for winners including Garcia and Cortes-Acosta while formal reviews or reversals from the co-main controversy have not been made public.
