Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., April 25, 2026) with UFC Vegas 116, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event goes down in the comfy confines of META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is our second trip to the APEX this month. The main event tonight sees top-ranked Featherweights looking to break into the 145-pound title picture with Aljamain Sterling vs. Youssef Zalal.
Tonight’s APEX card is what we’ve come to expect — a mildly interesting main event and then lots of fights with newcomers and Contender Series grads. The main event highlights the Featherweight division this week with both Sterling and Zalal hoping to score a win that might get them over the top in the division. Both men are on win streaks. Zalal’s is longer, while Sterling’s has better names on it. Both are likely losing out to Movsar Evloev in the title fight sweepstakes, but a win here might help one of them become the next man up.

The co-main event is Norma Dumont vs. Joselyne Edwards. Only the hardcores probably recognize both these names and have any kind of recollection of how they fight. Both are eager strikers, though, who love to get into brawls. They are both on good win streaks, too. The women’s Bantamweight title is stuck in the mud right now (thanks to Kayla Harrison’s injury); therefore, it’s hard to tell where anyone else stands. That being said, a win for Dumont and Edwards would be very helpful in pushing them a little closer to the title picture.
The rest of the main card features interesting match-ups, albeit with relatively unknowns. Rafa Garcia vs. Alexander Hernandez, Davey Grant vs. Adrian Luna Martinetti and Montel Jackson vs. Raoni Barcelos should all be fun scraps. There’s also Marcus Buchecha vs. Ryan Spann, which could get weird.
Rodolfo Vieira vs. Eric McConico is our featured “Prelims” fight. Both those guys are coming off knockout losses. UFC Vegas 116’s “Prelims” also feature Jackson McVey vs. Sedriques Dumas and Jafel Filho vs. Cody Durden.
