Winner: Manel Kape
Who He Should Face Next: Tatsuro Taira
Winner: Kevin Vallejos
Who He Should Face Next: Pat Sabatini
Vallejos secured a huge win — his sixth overall, third under the UFC banner — by knocking out Giga Chikadze in spectacular fashion. Up next for the streaking contender, a showdown against Sabatini might be interesting. Sabatini is currently on a three-fight win streak and was last seen defeating Chepe Mariscal at UFC 322 earlier this year. In his five years with the promotion, Sabatini has secured an overall record of 8-2.
Winner: Cezary Oleksiejczuk
Who He Should Face Next: Ismail Naurdiev
Oleksiejczuk impressed in his UFC debut by defeating Cesar Almeida via unanimous decision. With five straight wins under his belt, a showdown against Naurdiev might be in order. Naurdiev is coming off a first-round knockout win over Ryan Loder a few weeks ago (see it again here), putting him at 2-1 so far inside the Octagon. Both men are just getting started in their respective UFC careers, so this will be a good matchup between two young and talented contenders to see who can take a huge step forward.
Winner: Melquizael Costa
Who He Should Face Next: Jamall Emmers
Costa improved his win streak to five in a row after defeating Morgan Charriere via first-round knockout (see it here). He is inching closer to a Top 15 ranking, and another big win could do the trick. If he can get that against Emmers he would have a good case at getting in. Emmers is currently on a two-fight win streak and was last seen defeating Hyder Amil just last month.
Winner: King Green
Who He Should Face Next: Hernandez vs. Johnson winner
Green snapped his two-fight losing streak and got his hand raised for the first time in a long time after defeating Lance Gibson Jr. via split-decision. That was his first win since April 2024, and now he will look to use that as a momentum booster moving forward. I would like to see Green face off against the winner of the upcoming 155-pound showdown between Alexander Hernandez and Michael Johnson, which is booked for a “Fight Night” event on Jan. 24, 2026.
