Now that the essential details are neatly squared away, let’s talk about the beautifully chaotic circus awaiting us in Vegas. Dvalishvili, a man who treats cardio like a religion, attempts to extend his historic run while Yan tries to reclaim the belt he believes was never truly out of reach. It’s a rematch simmering with grudges, receipts, and enough forward pressure to make even treadmills nervous. Then there’s Flyweight Champion Alexandre Pantoja facing rising phenom Joshua Van, a matchup that feels like speed, heart, and stubbornness stirred into a blender and left on high.

Former champions Jan Błachowicz and Henry Cejudo add an extra layer of nostalgia and chaos, both out to prove their highlight reels aren’t museum pieces just yet. Błachowicz meets Bogdan Guskov in a bout with “heavy-handed catastrophe” written all over it, while Cejudo collides with the surging Payton Talbott, whose confidence alone could win a few rounds. With contenders, comeback attempts, and championship ambitions stacked throughout the lineup, this card feels engineered for maximum adrenaline, minimum bathroom breaks, and at least one post-fight speech you’ll still be thinking about on Monday.
