Before the main event delivered its bombshell, the co-main event offered its own fireworks. Former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso made a powerful statement against Maycee Barber, finishing the fight in the very first round with a TKO at 2:42. Grasso looked sharp and focused, reminding the UFC that she remains one of the most dangerous women in the flyweight division.
Terrance McKinney — 24-Second Lightning Bolt
One of the night’s most electric moments came from lightweight Terrance “T-Wrecks” McKinney, who needed just 24 seconds to finish Kyle Nelson by KO/TKO. That’s not a typo — 24 seconds. It was vintage McKinney: walk forward, apply pressure, find the finish. He remains one of the most exciting fighters on the UFC roster, and a performance like this demands a ranked opponent next.
Michael Chiesa Submits Niko Price in 63 Seconds
Welterweight veteran Michael Chiesa returned to form with a swift submission finish over Niko Price, completing the stoppage at just 1:03 of Round 1. It was a reminder that Chiesa’s grappling remains elite, and the submission was locked in with clinical precision.
Casey O’Neill Returns in Style
Women’s flyweight Casey O’Neill picked up a first-round TKO win over Gabriella Fernandes in 3:11, continuing her bounce-back after some time away from competition. O’Neill’s ground-and-pound looked devastating, and she’ll now look to work her way back into flyweight title contention.
