Rosas Jr. vs Barcelos Main Card Result.
Main Event (Bantamweight): Raul Rosas Jr. vs Raoni Barcelos
Result: Raul Rosas Jr. def. Raoni Barcelos by TKO (slam) — Round 5, 1:38
Twenty-one years old. Five rounds deep. Still standing.
Rosas Jr. came out fast and his hands looked like a different fighter’s — sharp, busy, and landing on a man who had won five straight. But Barcelos has been here before. He took his moments in the first, then leaned on the veteran savvy and chipped away, round by round, until the scorecards were starting to lean Brazil.
So the kid went and got it. Rosas Jr. opened the fifth on the attack, and a little over a minute in he lifted Barcelos and dumped him hard onto the canvas. Barcelos didn’t move. Rosas Jr. saw it before anyone and waved the referee in himself.
Not the ending anyone wants to see. But this was the test everybody said Rosas Jr. hadn’t taken yet — a real step up, a long fight, a veteran pulling ahead — and he passed it by walking forward in the final round. Now 13-1, and the bantamweight ladder just got shorter.
Co-Main Event (Women’s Bantamweight): Norma Dumont vs Ailin Perez
Result: Ailin Perez def. Norma Dumont by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
All the build-up, not much of a fight.
Perez took Dumont down in the first and mostly held her there without doing damage. Dumont answered with a takedown of her own early in the second, then won the stand-up once they got back to their feet — and the third looked a lot like the second. Plenty of people had Dumont. All three judges had Perez.
Surprise or not, the Argentine has now won seven straight, and she used the microphone to ask for a title shot. She’ll keep asking.
Light Heavyweight: Luis Hernandez vs Sedriques Dumas
Result: Luis Hernandez def. Sedriques Dumas by submission (guillotine choke) — Round 1, 0:50
Contract eleven days ago. Two days’ notice. Fifty seconds.
The first left hand Hernandez threw landed, and he used it to close the distance and tie up Dumas. They went to the mat, Hernandez caught the neck as they scrambled up, adjusted the grip — and that was it.
“The Stache” is now 8-0, every win a finish, and he’s the third member of the Contender Series Class of ’26 to stop someone in his debut. The personality is loud. The skills are louder.
TUF 34 Bantamweight Final: Mahammadali Osmanli vs Ilimbek Akylbek
Result: Ilimbek Akylbek def. Mahammadali Osmanli by disqualification (illegal knee) — Round 1, 2:19
Not how anybody wanted a TUF final to end.
The two had just scrambled back to their feet when Akylbek slipped and dropped to his knees. Osmanli ran in and drove a full knee into his head while he was still down. The action stopped, Akylbek stayed dazed on the canvas, and he couldn’t continue. Osmanli was disqualified.
It was the right call. And it makes history twice: Akylbek is the first fighter from Kyrgyzstan to win The Ultimate Fighter, and the first TUF champion crowned by disqualification. Expect a rematch.
TUF 34 Strawweight Final: Melissa Amaya vs Tina Black
Result: Tina Black def. Melissa Amaya by TKO (strikes) — Round 2, 3:19
Experience won.
Black was the better striker from the first exchange, hurting Amaya more than once in the opening round — though she got caught herself when she rushed in late. In the second she slowed down, picked her shots, hurt Amaya again and finished it.
A Contender Series alum with Invicta FC and A1 Combat titles on her résumé, Black was the favorite at strawweight all season and fought like it. She is the first Brazilian woman to win The Ultimate Fighter — and, finally, a UFC fighter.

Featured Prelim (Bantamweight): Brady Hiestand vs Rinya Nakamura
Result: Brady Hiestand def. Rinya Nakamura by submission (rear-naked choke) — Round 2, 4:07
Two years on the shelf. No rust.
Hiestand hadn’t fought since June 2024, and he came out like he’d never left — pressing from the opening bell and dragging Nakamura into scrambles. Early in the second he flirted with an anaconda choke. Late in the round he found the back, locked in the rear-naked choke, and the Road to UFC champion tapped.
Nobody had stopped Nakamura before tonight. Now “Bam Bam” has four wins in a row, three straight finishes, and he’s only 27. The TUF finalist out of Spokane just made the bantamweights take notice.
Middleweight: Rodolfo Vieira vs Robert Bryczek
Result: Rodolfo Vieira def. Robert Bryczek by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Not pretty. Didn’t need to be.
Vieira had Bryczek on his back within moments of the opening bell and spent the whole first round running the fight from top position. The takedowns got harder to find after that, so the five-time IBJJF world champion switched to pinning the Polish knockout artist against the fence and taking away his room to throw. Bryczek never got the exchanges he came for.
Clean sweep on the cards. Vieira moves to 12-5 overall and 7-5 in the UFC, and the grind is working for him again.
Light Heavyweight: Rodolfo Bellato vs Christian Edwards
Result: Christian Edwards def. Rodolfo Bellato by TKO (left hook) — Round 3, 1:47
First UFC win, and he took it the hard way.
Through two rounds this one could have gone either way. Edwards had his moments, but Bellato kept answering with heavy shots that swung the momentum back. Then the corner spoke up between rounds: go forward, take the fight. Edwards listened. Early in the third a sharp left hook put Bellato down and the referee stepped in.
Remember, Edwards took his May debut against Modestas Bukauskas on almost no notice and lost a split decision. Give the 27-year-old out of Jackson-Wink a full camp and this is what you get.
Lightweight: Elves Brener vs Josiah Harrell
Result: Elves Brener def. Josiah Harrell by TKO (strikes) — Round 1, 4:14
Skid over.
Brener walked in on three straight losses and fought like none of that happened. He chopped at Harrell’s legs, nearly landed a head kick, then stuffed a takedown and got the fight back to the middle of the cage. A right hook dropped Harrell face-first to the canvas, and a few quick shots on the floor finished it with seconds left in the round.
The Chute Boxe Diego Lima fighter was knocking on the Top 15 after his first year in the promotion. This is a reminder of why. He turns 29 tomorrow — and a bonus check would make one heck of a birthday present.
Bantamweight: Montel Jackson vs Ricky Simon
Result: Montel Jackson def. Ricky Simon by TKO (strikes) — Round 2, 2:39
Eight years. One debt, paid in full.
Back in 2018, a green Jackson made his UFC debut and Simon handed him the first loss of his career. Saturday, Jackson rocked him more than once from range in the first, only for Simon to wrestle his way back in. Midway through the second, as Simon looked for an entry, Jackson fired a long one-two that put him down — and “Quik” was on him with the follow-up shots before the veteran could recover.
Revenge, at 34. Jackson says he wants to stay busy, and the bantamweight rankings should expect to hear from him soon.
Bantamweight: John Castaneda vs Alatengheili
Result: Alatengheili def. John Castaneda by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
A tale of two halves, and the second half won.
Castaneda came out sharp — controlling the distance, landing clean and attacking the lead leg of the veteran from China. But the pace faded and so did his focus. Alatengheili found his hands, then found his wrestling, and spent a big part of the third on top.
The judges split, and two of them went with “The Mongolian Knight.” That’s UFC win No. 7 for Alatengheili, who is still trading wins and losses but is back in the win column.
Strawweight: Vanessa Demopoulos vs Yazmin Jauregui
Result: Yazmin Jauregui def. Vanessa Demopoulos by TKO (strikes) — Round 1, 1:02
Two years away. Sixty-two seconds back.
Yazmin Jauregui (12-2) returned from a two-year layoff and needed barely a minute. Demopoulos pressed forward and went to the lead leg early, but a Jauregui right hand sent her backward, and the Tijuana fighter never let her reset. A straight run of punches pinned Demopoulos to the fence, she went down, and referee Blake Grice waved it off.
After an up-and-down first six UFC fights, Jauregui is 5-2 in the Octagon, healthy again and only 27. Put the strawweight division on notice.
