The UFC’s final fight of 2025 has been officially booked, with the promotion looking to head into the new era with a bang.
A few weeks ago, it was announced that the UFC has signed a huge new broadcast deal with Paramount worth $7.7 billion, with the broadcasting rights in the United States landing on the popular platform.
In the announcement, it was stated that the promotion was doing away with the standard PPV model, making the events more accessible for the fans.
With the new deal not beginning until 2026, the final fight of the current era has been announced.
UFC Vegas 112 main event booked between flyweight contenders
On December 12, the premier promotion will host their final event of 2025, UFC Vegas 112, which is unfortunately scheduled to take place from the UFC Apex.
And this Monday afternoon, reports suggested that the main event will be contested between Manel Kape and Brandon Royval, marking the final fight of the year.
The two flyweight contenders have been booked to fight each other twice recently, however, both fighters pulled out once each.
Despite that, throughout his UFC tenure, Kape has built the reputation for being an extremely untrustworthy fighter, having pulled out of four fights himself and having being involved in 11 fight cancelations in total.
With it being a standard Fight Night event, the promotion are unlikely to have a backup on hand and will hope disaster doesn’t strike for their final event of the year.
Royval reacts to announcement as he makes bold request
Not long after the fight was announced, former title contender Royval broke his silence on social media making an extremely bold request to the UFC.
“Main event. F— the Apex, let’s make this happen in Denver,” Royval said on Instagram.
Despite Royval’s request, it is unlikely that the promotion is willing to relocate the event and the two will fight in the confines of the Apex.
