Jamall Emmers defeated Hyder Amil by unanimous decision (29-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Jamall Emmers and Hyder Amil closed out the preliminary card slate with an all-action scrap in the featherweight division, where Emmers mixed things up well to secure his second victory of the year.
The duo spent the majority of the first round slinging leather, with Amil constantly pressing forward regardless of whether he was landing the better blows or not. But after turning to his grappling in the back half of the second, Emmers went straight back to the takedown early in the third, chasing arm-triangle chokes on both sides and working to dominant positions, drowning Amil and turning the competitive battle into a one-sided affair down the stretch.

The 36-year-old veteran fought a tough slate on the way to the UFC and has continued to do so inside the Octagon. This is the first time in nine appearances that Emmers has earned the same result in consecutive contests, and thankfully for “Pretty Boy” it means back-to-back ticks in the win column.
Raoni Barcelos defeated Ricky Simon by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Raoni Barcelos and Ricky Simon paired off for the closely contested, hard fought battle most anticipated when the bantamweight matchup was first announced.
Each man has solid moments in the first, with Simon mixing things up a little more, including some solid ground-and-pound, while Barcelos connected with the heavier individual blows as they worked at a break-neck pace. While the output dropped a touch from then on, the intensity and competitiveness never waned, with both men staying in boxing range and trading blows through to the final horn.

The judges were tasked with rendering a decision and when the scorecards were added up, it was Barcelos that came out on the happy side of the split decision verdict. That’s now three wins in 2025 and four straight in total for the 38-year-old Brazilian, who denied Simon the opportunity to garner a third win this year in the process.
Jacqueline Cavalcanti defeated Mayra Bueno Silva by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
Jacqueline Cavalcanti maintained her unbeaten record inside the Octagon on Saturday, registering a unanimous decision win over former title fight combatant Mayra Bueno Silva.
In all three frames, the 28-year-old from Portugal was able to land the more telling blows on the feet and keep her Brazilian counterpart from dragging the fight to the floor. Cavalcanti distanced herself from “Sheetara” as the fight progressed but still seemed a little hesitant to step on the gas and really take the fight to the flagging and busted up Bueno Silva.

That’s now five straight UFC victories for Cavalcanti, who should slide into the Top 10 on the strength of this victory. The younger fighter in the bantamweight rankings, the Las Vegas-based hopeful is one to continue to track in the coming years as she has the foundational pieces to become a contender in the 135-pound weight class in the not-too-distant future.
Josh Hokit defeated Max Gimenis by TKO (strikes) at 0:56 of Round 1
Josh Hokit blew through Max Gimenis to register his first UFC victory and remain undefeated.
The recent DWCS graduate ate a heavy leg kick early that clearly impacted him, but Hokit pushed forward nonetheless, working behind his sharp, quick hands. With Gimenis backed against the fence, the Albuquerque-based newcomer unloaded, landing a series of blows in tight that too Gimenis off his feet and ended the contest.

Now 7-0 for his career, the 27-year-old Hokit is an interesting addition the heavyweight ranks, trading overall size for speed and athleticism. It’ll be interesting to see what is next for him after he cut a pro wrestling style promo and called out Valter Walker following his win.
Denise Gomes defeated Tecia Pennington by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
The aggressiveness and firepower of Denise Gomes was enough for her to claim a unanimous decision win over divisional mainstay Tecia Pennington on Saturday’s prelims.
Trading blows across all three rounds, this was a classic “volume versus impact” situation, as Pennington out-landed her Brazilian counterpart, while Gomes connected with the greater force and impact. While neither registered anything of tremendous significance, the overall physicality and force deployed by Gomes was enough to dictate the terms of engagement, especially in the third round.

When the scorecards we collected and totalled, it was Gomes that came out ahead, extending her winning streak to four. The 25-year-old is now 6-1 over her last seven outings and looked ready to take another step forward in the 125-pound weight class while out-hustling “The Tiny Tornado” in this one.
Daniel Marcos defeated Miles Johns by technical submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:23 of Round 2
Daniel Marcos rebounded from the first loss of his career in style, submitting Miles Johns in the second round.
The 32-year-old Peruvian leaned on his grappling more in this contest, recognizing an opportunity to neutralize Johns’ striking and control the action more by taking things into the clinch and down the canvas. Later in the second round, “Soncora” dragged Johns backwards to the mat and climbed on his back, sinking in the rear-naked choke and squeezing until his adversary drifted off to Dreamland.

A member of the Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) Class of ’22, Marcos dropped a decision to Montel Jackson last time out but showed his resolve by getting back into the win column straight away. Now 5-1 in the UFC with one no contest, the skilled bantamweight remains a dangerous dance partner for anyone that crosses his path.
Zach Reese defeated Jackson McVey by submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:38 of Round 2
Zach Reese and Jackson McVey kicked off the night with an absolute slobberknocker, with Reese weathering the storm to collect a second-round submission win.
The middleweight finishers got after it from the jump, with McVey getting the better of things as they traded elbows to the dome and knees to the body in the clinch. But after securing a takedown late in the first, Reese went back to his grappling straight out of the gates in the second, taking McVey’s back in a scramble and sinking in the fight-ending choke.
