Overview
- Petr Yan defeated Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision to begin a second bantamweight title reign.
- Yan said a trilogy is not guaranteed and suggested Dvalishvili earn another shot, citing contenders such as Umar Nurmagomedov.
- Joshua Van became flyweight champion after Alexandre Pantoja suffered a fight-ending arm injury in 26 seconds, with the diagnosis disputed between a shoulder dislocation and possible elbow damage.
- White indicated there will likely be a Van defense before any Pantoja rematch, with Tatsuro Taira emerging as a leading option and sportsbooks posting early odds.
- The event closed the UFC’s ESPN pay-per-view era, as Taira stopped Brandon Moreno and Payton Talbott defeated Henry Cejudo, who announced his retirement, while Dvalishvili vowed to return stronger.
