UFC Vegas 121 went down inside last night (Sat 26 Sep 2026). Meta Apex In Las Vegas, Nevada, which saw Raul Rosas Jr. to beat Raoni’s Barcelos by knockout in the fifth and final round, though how it happened is still a mystery (see it again here). At the joint main event Ailin Perez defeated Norma Dumont through questionable by unanimous decision, however Luis Hernandez submitted Cedric Dumas in the very first round (highlights).
Who should he face next: Winner of Figueiredo vs. Talbott
After his sixth straight finish against the No. 8 ranked fighter, “El Nino Problema” is looking for bigger and better fights. There’s no telling where he’ll land in the rankings coming up next week, but I’m looking for a matchup with the winner of the upcoming fight between them. Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbottwho will collide at UFC 332 next month.
Who she should face next: The winner of Luana Santos vs. Yana Santos
Despite this, the decision is very questionable, Perez came out victorious against Dumont. Still, he can’t hope to get a title shot after that win, so he needs to lock up at least one more win. He is expected to face the winner of the upcoming interim fight Luana Santos and Now the saintswho will drop next month. Luana is ranked No. 3, while Yana is ranked No. 6.
Who should he face next: Mickey Gall
Hernandez had a great couple of weeks. After signing the contract Contender serieshe was immediately invited to make his official debut Cedric Dumas with short notice. Not only did he manage to win in the first round (see it here), but he also locked a $100,000 post-fight bonus. As for the sophomore effort, why not kick him out against Gall? After all, he stood up to Dumas after he bowedso let’s put him together with a decent name to see how he does.
Winner: Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu
Who should he face next: Cody Gibson
Uulu won The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contract after taking an illegal knee. Still, a win’s a win and he’ll be looking to secure his fourth straight victory in his next outing. As for what’s next, a fight against Gibson might be right. Gibson is now on a three-game losing streak, but has plenty of experience inside the Octagon to be a good test for Uulu.
Who should he face next: Elise Reed
Tin Black won the TUF women’s strawweight contract via TKO win Melissa Amayaimproving his winning streak to four in a row. We treat Black the same as Uulu, pairing him with Reeda, a veteran who has seen better days. Reed is currently on a two-fight losing streak and his overall record inside the octagon is 4-6. He was last seen passing out Shanelle Dyer by knockout last month and would be a good challenge for Black in his first UFC fight under a new contract.
