But the headliner wasn’t the only story of the night. The card kicked off with some explosive moments, including Joselyne Edwards scoring a stunning first-round knockout over Priscila Cachoeira with a crisp right hook that sent “Zombie Girl” crashing to the mat. Elijah Smith provided a highlight for the ages, delivering a brutal knockout slam reminiscent of MMA legend “Rampage” Jackson, putting Toshiomi Kazama out cold in a flash. Uros Medic also brought the heat—recovering from an early knockdown to deliver a walk-off left hand that ended Gilbert Urbina’s night in just over a minute.
Christian Leroy Duncan showed why he’s still considered a rising force in the middleweight division, dismantling Eryk Anders with a spinning elbow followed by a flurry that forced the stoppage in the first round. Meanwhile, Iasmin Lucindo showcased her all-around game, controlling Angela Hill over three rounds to secure a unanimous decision and reaffirm her place among the top strawweights.
Not all the fights were quick finishes—Andre Fili’s split-decision win over Christian Rodriguez was a gritty, back-and-forth battle where veteran savvy and timely wrestling sealed the deal. Jean Matsumoto also had to dig deep, edging Miles Johns in a competitive bantamweight scrap. Julius Walker earned his first UFC win by outwrestling Raffael Cerqueira, and Gabriella Fernandes kept her streak alive with a disciplined striking performance against Julija Stoliarenko.
From dramatic knockouts to hard-fought decisions, UFC Vegas 109 was a reminder of why fight fans tune in. Whether it was the raw power of a perfectly timed punch, the finesse of a calculated ground game, or the resilience of athletes pushing through fatigue, the night had it all. And with Roman Dolidze’s main-event performance now in the books, the middleweight landscape just got even more interesting heading into the back half of 2025.
