Both men had their moments in the opening round, with Xiao connecting with a head kick that rocked the former titleholder, and Garbrandt dropping his Chinese foe with an elbow in the clinch along the fence. Xiao was the more active and effective of the two in the second round before the bout took a turn early in the third when Xiao connected with consecutive accidental low blows, with Garbrandt vomiting into a bucket and Xiao being docked a point. Almost as soon as they restarted, Xiao kneed Garbrandt low again, losing another point, making it nearly impossible for him to win a decision.

They went the distance and the final scorecards produced some unique totals, with Garbrandt coming out on the happy side of the verdict. This was a wild affair that resulted in "No Love" getting back into the win column to kick off his 2026 campaign.

The Season 9 Contender Series grad was too aggressive at the outset, over-throwing on his first strike attempt, leading to an easy takedown for Brundage, who remained in top position for most of the frame. But from that point forward, Johnson was the more effective of the two, thoroughly controlling the second before landing the heavier blows in the decisive final round.

When the final horn sounded and the scorecards were collected, it was Johnson that came out ahead, going the distance for the first time in his career and remaining unbeaten in the process. It wasn’t pretty, but these are important lessons for Johnson to learn and valuable experience that he is gaining in these early days of his professional career.

The Season 8 Dana White’s Contender Series grad waited 939 days between earning his contract and making his debut, and he made sure to show out, finishing Ricky Turcios in the second round. After getting the better of the striking exchanges in the first and seemingly hurting the former TUF winner late in the frame, Montes needed just 40 seconds to wrap up the fight-ending choke and put Turcios to sleep in the second.

The Mongolian flyweight threatened with guillotine chokes in the first round while also getting the better of the striking exchanges, prompting Durden to be a little more hurried in hunting for takedowns. Though the American had some positive moments, he wasn’t able to maintain advantageous positions or build any real offensive momentum until it was too late.

When the tens and nines were collected and tallied, it was Tumendemberel that came out ahead, giving him consecutive victories to advance to 2-1 inside the Octagon and 10-1 overall. Much like Sumudaerji, his length makes him a problem in the flyweight ranks, and with his birthday just a couple weeks away, Tumendemberel picked up a little more reason to celebrate on Saturday night.

Sumudaerji defeated Jesus Aguilar by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Sumudaerji matched the longest winning streak of his UFC career on Saturday night, collecting a unanimous decision victory over Jesus Aguilar to earn his third straight win.

“The Tibetan Eagle” made full use of his size and experience advantages, largely keeping Aguilar on the end of his attacks when the two were standing and proving himself to be the superior grappler in the moments when they spilled to the canvas as well. There were never any real points where Sumudaerji was in trouble and while he continued to control the action, he failed to capitalize on early grappling success in the third and seemed content to just coast to a win on the scorecards for most of the frame until opening up late.

The veteran flyweight earned the nod from all three officials, further solidifying his footing in the division and likely setting up a step up in competition next time out. The offense Sumudaerji delivered down the stretch was solid, but rightfully left the broadcast team wondering where that aggressiveness was throughout the contest.

If he can dial it up a little sooner in the future, a push forward into the rankings isn’t out of the question.

The Kazakh fighter was the more active and effective of the two throughout the contest, save for a very brief moment in the second where Tobias landed a pair of big shots that rocked Nurgozhay. Outside of that, Nurgozhay was able to dictate the exchanges and keep Tobias on the edge of his attacks for the majority of the 15-minute affair.

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Nurgozhay, who picked up his first win in three UFC starts while spoiling Tobias’ UFC debut. While the grappling still leaves plenty to be desired, this was a step in the right direction for the DWCS Class of ’24 alum.

Fernandez looked sharp out of the chute, working behind a good job and solid all-around boxing in the early moments, opening Bellato up above the left eye. But as the two men continued to stand in the pocket, “Trator” found the chin and sent Fernandez crashing backwards to the canvas. From there, a swarm of follow-up blows brought about the finish.
