Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., Oct. 10, 2026) with UFC Vegas 122, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event goes down inside the familiar META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event tonight is Brendan Allen vs. Christian Leroy Duncan in the Middleweight division.
UFC returns to the APEX this weekend with a card very suitable for the surroundings. Up top, we’ve got a Middleweight clash with Brendan Allen vs. Christian Leroy Duncan. These two are both on decent win streaks, having cleared out some decent names (like this) over the past year. Both are pretty far on the outside looking in when it comes to the title picture (which may or may not involve Sean Strickland at this point).
The co-main event is Matheus Camilo vs. Jai Herbert. Yes, really. Camilo has had three fights in UFC thus far and won both. Herbert has been in the promotion for more than six years, but is yet to win two in a row. He’s also coming off a win.
Filling out the main card is Lupita Godinez vs. Ketlen Vieira, Andre Fili vs. Kai Kamaka III, Julius Walker vs. Gerald Meerschaert and Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Otari Tanzilovi.
The featured “Prelims” undercard bout is Francisco Prado vs. Ismael Bonfim. The undercard also includes Niko Price’s actual retirement fight (more on that here). He takes on Leon Shahbazyan. Rounding out the card is Felipe Franco vs. Brendson Ribeiro, RJ Harris vs. Allen Frye Jr., Darya Zheleznyakova vs. Alice Pereira and Ernesta Kareckaite vs. Melissa Gatto.

UFC VEGAS 122 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES
Felipe Franco vs. Brendson Ribeiro: After sizing each other up for a minute, Franco shot on a single leg and put himself right into a guillotine. Ribeiro slapped it on tight and kept hold of it as Franco tried to slam his way out of trouble. Ribeiro ended up mounted and Franco had to tap or go to sleep.
Official decision: Brendson Ribeiro def. Felipe Franco by submission (guillotine), round 1 (1:49)
Allen Frye Jr. vs. RJ Harris: Harris was landing heavy shots early on, with punches and leg kicks. But he was doing it all with his head in the air and his hands by his waist. Frye absorbed that punishment and then fired back, landing flush. He wobbled Harris and then chopped him down with a serious of right hands for the TKO win.
Official decision: Allen Frye Jr. def. RJ Harris by KO (punches), round 1 (2:59)
Alice Pereira vs. Darya Zheleznyakova: Pereira continues to look like a good prospect. She landed some hard stuff on the feet and then some hellbows on the ground. That ground assault opened up a massive cut. I’m surprised the doctor didn’t call it off after the first round. But when Jason Herzog asked Zheleznyakova if she could continue, she said no. I’m glad that didn’t go any further. That could have got a lot worse.
Official decision: Alice Pereira def. Darya Zheleznyakova by TKO (retirement), round 1 (5:00)
Ernesta Kareckaite vs. Melissa Gatto: I don’t know what was sillier, Gatto’s suicide throws of Kareckaite grabbing the fence in an attempt to stop herself landing in top position. Kareckaite lost a point for that boneheaded decision, with Chris Tognoni going straight to a deduction (love that). Kareckaite won the first two rounds with her striking. Gatto managed to get her down, and keep her there, to salvage a draw. She came close to a few submissions, though, including an armbar right at the death.
Official decision: Ernesta Kareckaite and Melissa Gatto fight to a majority draw (29-27, 28-28, 28-28)
