The Fight Night will close out the year for the MMA leader.
As the UFC–ESPN partnership nears its end, the promotion is set to close out both the deal and the year with an Apex card headlined by two heavy-hitting flyweights.
This event will be the final UFC broadcast under its U.S. media rights agreement with ESPN, with live coverage scheduled to transition to Paramount Skydance beginning in 2026.
Brandon Royval and Manel Kape will take centre stage this Saturday at UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The co-main event features a featherweight clash between perennial contender Giga Chikadze, who will take on Kevin Vallejos, a newcomer with two wins in the company since making his debut last year.
Beyond the two headlining bouts, the fight card is stacked with compelling matchups. The main card features Cesar Almeida, Morgan Charrière, Kennedy Nzechukwu, and King Green. Meanwhile, the prelims include notable names such as Amanda Lemos, Gillian Robertson, Neil Magny, and Joanderson Brito.
