The last UFC event of the year takes place at the APEX before a six-week break commences as the Paramount era is in preparation.
After a stunning fight card which was full of fascinating performances, it’s going to be hard to follow on for the fighters who are competing at UFC Vegas 112.
The headliner is a 125lbs matchup between Brandon Royval and Manel Kape, a bout which has previously been scheduled before this year.
But, there are three things you should prepare to learn before watching the last UFC event of 2025.
Royval vs Kape could be a title eliminator
While it does sound bizarre, after Joshua Van became the new UFC Flyweight Champion, there is a possibility that either main eventer could claim a title shot.
Royval did lose his last bout to Van at UFC 317, however it was an extraordinary battle which is in strong contention for Fight of the Year as a rematch could be possible.
Kape is currently on back-to-back third-round TKO wins over Bruno Silva and Asu Almabayev as one more knockout win could see his potential chance for the 125lbs throne.
Both warriors fight at a high pace and hope to make a statement as ‘Raw Dawg’ tries to maintain his #2 ranking, while ‘Starboy’ aims to boost up the rankings from #6.
A recognised fighter’s brother makes their UFC debut
In the main card, Cesar Almeida is set to take on Cezary Oleksiejczuk in a middleweight bout with a certain surname looking very familiar.
Cezary is the brother of Michal Oleksiejczuk and makes his UFC debut this Saturday after earning himself a place through Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) with a 36-second TKO win.
Almeida last fought on the first event of 2025, pulling off an incredible first-round comeback to brutally knockout Abdual Razak Alhassan.
Both men are knockout artists, so expect this fight to stay on the feet as this bout could decide who is the next biggest prospect at 185lbs.
UFC record holder takes on newcomer
In the preliminary card, a 170lbs matchup takes place between Neil Magny and former Bellator Welterweight Champion Yaroslav Amosov.
Magny has been nothing but successful this year, earning a TKO win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and a submission triumph against Jake Matthews.
Amosov aims for a good first impression as he enters the top-tier scene after producing dominance in Bellator and earning himself a UFC contract after a first-round submission victory at CFFC 140.
‘The Haitian Sensation’ has taken out plenty of upcoming prospects in the UFC Welterweight division, but the Ukrainian seems to be a favourable fighter to conquer in this scheduled three-round war.
