Main Card Results | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Morales

Reduced to four fights with the late cancellation of the light heavyweight clash between Rodolfo Bellato and Paul Craig, the first three bouts of the main card all went the distance. Melquizael Costa earned his third win of 2025 and fourth consecutive victory overall in a competitive, entertaining scrap with Julian Erosa, while Nursulton Ruziboev collected his second win of the year by out-hustling Dustin Stoltzfus to move to 4-0 at middleweight in the UFC.

That was followed by recent TUF winner Mairon Santos registering a dominant win over Sodiq Yusuff as the two moved up to lightweight, setting the stage for the captivating welterweight main event, where the unbeaten Dana White’s Contender Series graduate stormed through Burns, finishing the Brazilian veteran in under four minutes to announce his arrival as a serious threat in the welterweight division.

It was a tremendous day of action in Las Vegas, and we have all the details from Saturday’s fight card collected for you below.

UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Morales Main Card Results

Main Event: Michael Morales defeats Gilbert Burns by TKO (strikes) at 3:39 of Round 1

Michael Morales blew through Gilbert Burns to close out Saturday’s fight card, registering a first-round stoppage win over the former title challenger that should put the rest of the welterweight division on notice that the undefeated Dana White’s Contender Series grad is a developing problem.

There were no signs of jitters or hesitation from the 25-year-old from Ecuador in his first main event, as he took the center of the Octagon, patiently worked to find his shots, and swarmed as soon as he had Burns hurt. While the Brazilian veteran did well to tie Morales up after the initial barrage, once he broke free, the unbeaten prospect opened up again, felling Burns and securing a second straight first-round stoppage win.

Co-Main Event: Mairon Santos defeats Sodiq Yusuff by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Mairon Santos turned in an impressive sophomore effort on Saturday, venturing up to lightweight to out-hustle veteran Sodiq Yusuff to earn his second UFC victory.

The recent Ultimate Fighter winner, who scored a debated decision win over Francis Marshall in March, left no room for debate in this one, landing the better shots and dictating the terms of engagement for the majority of the contest. He was quick with his hands, committed to working back to his feet with haste when Yusuff looked for takedowns, and didn’t look out of place physically after stepping up a weight class.

Nursulton Ruziboev defeats Dustin Stoltzfus by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Nursulton Ruziboev continued his run of success when competing at middleweight in the UFC, registering his fourth straight win in the 185-pound weight class with a unanimous decision victory over Dustin Stoltzfus on Saturday evening.

The tall and powerful native of Uzbekistan dealt with some adversity early following a clash of heads and a submission attempt from Stoltzfus. He found success on the feet in the back end of the first and early portion of the second, finishing the middle stanza working from top position before the pace understandably slowed in the final frame.

Melquizael Costa and Julian Erosa opened the main card with the kind of all-action battle everyone anticipated when this matchup of aggressive featherweights was first announced.

Costa came out of the gates extremely sharp, landing big shots and wobbling Erosa multiple times in the first round. The American veteran weathered the storm and started to claw back into things in the middle frame, and was the more active, more effective of the two over the wildly entertaining final five minutes.
