Chris Padilla locked down his fourth-straight win inside of the Octagon earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 8, 2025) at UFC Vegas 111 LIVE on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, when “Taco” ended
an overweight Ismael Bonfim with a second-round TKO (punches and elbows).
Bonfim, who was hoping to rebound after a TKO loss to Nazim Sadykhov earlier this year, ended up coming in five pounds overweight on Friday (results HERE). Luckily for fight fans, Padilla agreed to take some of Bonfim’s purse and keep the fight as planned, mostly because he already trained for the fight and needs the money. It ended up being a great decision for “Taco.”
While Bonfim was able to land some strong strikes early on and use his power to fend off Padilla’s biggest threats, that only lasted so long. After experiencing a horrendous weight cut Bonfim looked exhausted halfway through the second round. That allowed Padilla the chance to turn the pressure up, find a home for some significant shots, and eventually force the TKO finish.
Check out the final moments below and let us know if Padilla should earn a $50,000 post-fight bonus for his performance!
