The UFC held its last event of the year at The Apex on Saturday night. The promotion handed out the final bonuses of 2025.
Manel Kape earned a $50K bonus and propelled himself into title contention with a first round KO of Brandon Royval. Kape knocked Royval down and appeared out but he may have woke up Royval with another shot before the stoppage. Could Kape-Van be the first 125 pound title defense?
Kevin Vallejos earned a $50K bonus with a spinning backfist stoppage of Giga Chikadeze. Vallejos went 3-0 in his debut year with the UFC.
The Fight of the Night went to Steven Asplund and Sean Sharaf. In this heavyweight matchup, Asplund earned the stoppage in round 2 although Sharaf showed some heart before the end.
After last night, there are 40 days in between UFC when it returns on Paramount on January 24th.
