Ethyn Ewing continued his prospect-killing ways earlier tonight (Sat., April 4, 2026) at UFC Vegas 115 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, shocking previously undefeated Rafael Estevam with a blistering body punch knockout in the third round.
If Ewing’s name sounds familiar it should. The former construction worker made a huge Octagon debut at UFC 322 last November with an upset decision win over highly-touted bantamweight prospect Malcolm Wellmaker. It was a huge way to start
his UFC career and the reason why fight fans got excited to see Ewing’s name on Saturday’s Las Vegas card.
Estevam, who missed weight on Friday, struggled to do much of anything from the opening bell. His usually-effective takedowns weren’t a match for Ewing’s movement and counter pressure. Ewing soon began to tag Eestevam with countless right hands and sharp elbows inside. Eestevam didn’t seem to have an answer for anything as he face was a bloody mess.
Ewing’s dominance continued into the third round when he stalked Estevam down again to land whatever offense he wanted. Eventually, Ewing’s go through with a perfectly-placed left hook to the body that dropped Estevam for good and put a stop to the fight.
