UFC Vegas 112 Preview
UFC Vegas 112 happens TONIGHT (Sat., Dec. 13, 2025) inside UFC’s APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the curtain closer for what has been a wild year for UFC and mixed martial arts (MMA).

And the card’s not half bad, either.
The main event is Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape. Both men would have been watching UFC 323 closely last weekend. At that event, Joshua Van claimed the Flyweight title after a freak injury took Alexandre Pantoja out in the first round. That didn’t stop Van celebrating like he’d scored a walk-off knockout, though. Before that, Tatsuro Taira pounded out Brandon Moreno to earn a likely first crack at Van (since Pantoja is likely going to be out for a long time).
Van winning is/was a nightmare for Royval, who lost to Van in his previous fight. He’ll need a very impressive win over Kape (or Taira to win) to get himself another shot at that elusive 125-pound title. Kape would be a fresh match-up for either Van or Taira, so a good win over Royval probably has him sitting pretty as the next man up (barring a return from Pantoja).
Our co-main event is Giga Chikadze vs. Kevin Vallejos. The aging Chikadze is hoping to prove he’s still a factor at Featherweight and not just a gatekeeper for the impressive neophyte Vallejos to run through.

UFC Vegas 112’s main card also has Cesar Almdeida vs. Cezary Oleksiejczuk. That’s a debut fight for the younger brother of Michal Oleksiejczuk. There’s also Melquizael Costa vs. Morgan Charriere (that should be a lot of fun) and Kenndy Nzechukwu vs. Marcus Buchecha (can the Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend get his first UFC win here?). The main card also has King Green vs. Lance Gibson Jr., which was put together on ultra short notice.
The pick of the “Prelims” fights include Neil Magny taking on former Bellator Welterweight champion, Yaroslav Amosov.
