Main event: Raul Rosas Jr.

Record: 12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC
Opponent: Raoni Barcelos (22-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC)
Division: Bantamweight
Key wins: Rob Font, Vince Morales, Aori Qileng, Ricky Turcios
Misc.: After bonus-winning stoppages in his first three UFC wins, it’s been three straight decisions for the 21-year-old Rosas. This time, if he goes the distance, it’ll mean championship rounds for the first time in his career. With five straight wins, getting a sixth in a row before he turns 22 next month would be a huge feather in his cap for the title picture at 135 pounds.

Main event: Raoni Barcelos

Record: 22-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC
Opponent: Raul Rosas Jr. (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC)
Division: Bantamweight
Key wins: Montel Jackson, Ricky Simon, Cody Garbrandt, Payton Talbott, Cristian Quinonez, Trevin Jones, Said Nurmagomedov
Misc.: If it feels like Barcelos has been around a minute, it’s because he has. The 39-year-old just passed eight years in the UFC, and he’s on his second five-fight winning streak in the promotion. The crazy part is, sandwiched in between those two five-fight streaks was a stretch of four losses in five fights. It’s been four straight decisions for Barcelos, but they’ve been against some certified standouts.

Co-main event: Robert Bryczek

Record: 18-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC
Opponent: Rodolfo Vieira (11-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Brad Tavares, Lee Chadwick
Misc.: For the first time since 2023, Poland’s Bryczek will fight twice in a calendar year. This time, he’ll be looking to erase the memory of a decision loss to Cam Rowston in May. His promotional debut in 2024 came after five straight first-round knockouts for Oktagon MMA, but the road’s been rougher in the UFC. His win over Tavares was a third-round knockout that he no doubt will be hoping to replicate Saturday.

Co-main event: Rodolfo Vieira

Record: 11-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC
Opponent: Robert Bryczek (18-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Tresean Gore, Armen Petrosyan, Cody Brundage, Dustin Stoltzfus
Misc.: For the first time in his career, Vieira is working off back-to-back losses. The UFC tenure for the 36-year-old Brazilian has been up-and-down, for sure. He’s currently working off three losses in four fights, which is a sharp turnaround from a run of three wins in four fights – all choke submissions, and all for post-fight bonuses.
