Royval vs. Kape Set to Headline UFC Vegas 112, Closing Out 2025 at the Apex

The flyweight matchup serves as the UFC’s final ESPN broadcast in the U.S. before the promotion’s move to Paramount in 2026.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets and both fighters confirmed the five-round main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas as the promotion’s 2025 finale.
  • Most reports list Dec. 13 for UFC Vegas 112, though at least one outlet reports Dec. 12, creating a minor date discrepancy.
  • This is the third booking of Royval vs. Kape in 2025 following cancellations due to Royval’s concussion in March and Kape’s broken foot before UFC 317.
  • Royval is ranked No. 3 and Kape No. 7 at flyweight, and the winner is widely viewed as moving closer to a title shot.
  • Royval publicly asked the UFC to move the event from the Apex to Denver, a request not reflected in the current plan.
