UFC Vegas 118: How to Watch and Full Fight Card
UFC Vegas 118 takes place Saturday. Hank Strandberg presents this handy viewers' guide for the show.
Taking place at the Meta Apex center, UFC Vegas 118 features the return of one of the welterweight division’s most combatants, as former champion Belal Muhammad battles surging contender Gabriel Bonfim. In the co-main event, top-ranked middleweight contender Brendan Allen endeavors to defend his place on the ladder when he meets Edmen Shahbazyan.
UFC Vegas 118 Main Event
After compiling a previous 10-fight undefeated streak, Muhammad now finds himself in the worst skid of his UFC career. Losing both of his last two bouts, the once king of the 170-lb class attempts to turn his fortunes around at the expense of the streaking Bonfim.
One half of the esteemed Bonfim brothers, Gabriel Bonfim has established himself as one of welterweight’s best young athletes. Since losing for the first time in the Octagon to Nicolas Dalby back in 2023, “Marretinha” has won four fights in a row, including a monumental knockout finish of Randy Brown in his last time out.
UFC Vegas 118 Co-Main Event
Coming off the biggest win of his UFC tenure over Reinier de Ridder at UFC Vancouver last year, Allen has solidified his place among the most elite middleweights on the planet. Not content with resting on his laurels, “All In” is making another massive push towards the title that he has coveted for almost the last eight years since joining the promotion in 2019.
Winner of three straight, Shahbazyan has seemingly found his footing as a 185-lb prospect after enduring a lengthy stretch of disappointing setbacks. Now brimming with more confidence than ever, “The Golden Boy” is eager to show that he has what it takes to contend with the upper echelon of the weight class.
