As the year comes to an end, the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada will serve as the location for both the last UFC event of 2025, as well as the final show under the ESPN banner. In the headlining bout of UFC Vegas 112, one-time flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval mixes it up with former RIZIN champion Manel Kape. In the co-main event, Georgian striking specialist Giga Chikadze meets top Argentinian prospect Kevin Vallejos.
UFC Vegas 112 Main Event
Previously embarking on a three-fight win streak, Royval stood nearly on the doorstep of a second shot at reigning 125-lb gold standard Alexandre Pantoja, but a unanimous decision loss to Joshua Van emphatically derailed those plans. Eager to get back on track towards the belt, “Raw Dawg” is on a mission to end the year with another highlight reel performance.
Stepping into the Octagon for the first time since March, Kape has remained flawless since falling to Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 304, rattling off two back-to-back wins over Bruno Silva and Asu Almabayev. Having once held a major mixed martial arts strap during his days in Japan, “Starboy” endeavors to ascend even further up the flyweight rankings during UFC Vegas 112 to challenge for his first UFC championship.

UFC Vegas 112 Co-Main Event
A member of the UFC roster since 2019, Chikadze has collected a laundry list of impressive victories over the years, besting the likes of Cub Swanson, Edson Barboza and Alex Caceres. Remaining out of the win column for over two years, the Georgia standout is seeking to prove he is still one of the best in the world at featherweight.
Garnering a sterling reputation on the Brazilian regional scene as a triple champion, Vallejos has flourished on the international stage in the UFC. Earning a contract on the Contender Series in 2024, “El Chino” is currently 2-0 in the promotion, with his only defeat as a professional coming at the hands of fellow 145-lb elite Jean Silva.
