Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT
(Sat., June 6, 2026) with UFC Vegas 118, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event happens inside META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.UFC Vegas 118 Preview
UFC’s last show before its blowout White House bash is flying under-the-radar; however, there’s some interesting bouts here. The main event is Belal Muhammad vs. Gabriel Bonfim. Muhammad was the Welterweight champion just over a year ago. He’s lost twice in a row, though, and now sees his top five status under attack.
Bonfim is on a nice little winning streak, but this is the deepest into the top ranks he’s ever travelled.
The co-main event provides a similar kind of story. Brendan Allen is ranked fourth at Middleweight and is coming off two very impressive wins. He’s got the surging Edmen Shahbazyan tonight, someone outside the top fifteen. Allen might be wanting to stay busy, but he risks getting shuffled out the title picture if he slips up here.
Rounding out our main card tonight is Fares Ziam vs. Tom Nolan, Bryce Mitchell vs. Santiago Luna, Matt Schnell vs. Alessandro Costa and Iwo Baraniewski vs. Junior Tafa. Ziam, Luna and Baraniewski are all exciting prospects in their respective divisions.
The featured “Prelim” tonight is Marcus McGhee vs. John Yannis. McGhee is coming off a loss to current champion Petr Yan (in an overseas co-main event). He’s got a two UFC fight veteran in this match-up. Bruno Silva vs. Edgar Chairez and Jordan Leavitt vs. Joanderson Brito should be pretty good scraps, too.
