Julian Erosa ended his UFC career in style earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 31, 2026) at UFC Vegas 123 LIVE on Paramount+ at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, when the featherweight veteran defeated Jeong Yeong Lee via knockout.
Erosa, 37, entered the Octagon Saturday night knowing it would be his last UFC appearance. The longtime veteran has been one of the more entertaining fighters over the past few years and always seems to win or lose the show. Fortunately for Erosa, he managed one final upset to end his UFC retirement on a memorable note.
Lee looked like he was going to spoil the party as the first round began. The South Korean prospect had Erosa on his skates and nearly locked the choke to end it early. Unfortunately for Lee, Erosa was able to hang around long enough to find a way to end the fight. It came in the form of a huge right hand from Eros that sent Lee crumbling to the canvas. Erosa rushed in to keep the referee close by for the stoppage. It was an incredible submission and finish that could have earned Erosa $100,000 in his final fight.
