🥊 UFC FIGHT NIGHT HOUSTON – FIGHTS TO WATCH

We’re at the Toyota Center this weekend with a sneaky-stacked lineup. Here are four matchups that matter:

🔴 MAIN EVENT: Sean Strickland vs Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez – Middleweight

• Strickland: Former champ, #3 at 185. Volume jab, pressure footwork, elite 5-round cardio.
• Hernandez: #4, on an 8-fight win streak. Averaging double-digit takedown attempts per fight, nasty clinch game, and a dangerous submission arsenal.

Winner is right in line for a shot at Khamzat Chimaev’s belt later in 2026.

🔴 Jacobe Smith vs Josiah Harrell – Welterweight

• Both 11–0.
• Smith: 2–0 in UFC, both finishes. Explosive wrestling and power.
• Harrell: Finally debuts after a rare brain condition delayed his first booking in 2023. Came back 4–0 on the regionals with almost all finishes.

Someone’s “0” goes away in Houston.

🔴 Nora Cornolle vs Joselyne Edwards 2 – Women’s Bantamweight

• Rematch of Cornolle’s debut win.
• Cornolle: French Muay Thai striker, looking to prove the first fight was no fluke.
• Edwards: Far more experienced at UFC level, active jab, long-range kicking game and better takedown mechanics.

A win keeps either woman right on the edge of contention in a thin division.

🔴 Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs Phil Rowe – Welterweight

• Lebosnoyani: DWCS alum with an 89% finish rate, most by submission, debuting off a head-kick win.
• Rowe: Huge for 170, 100% finish rate in wins, all UFC victories by knockout, but sometimes starts slow.

High-risk, high-reward matchup for the debutant.

🇨🇿 OKTAGON 84 hits Ostrava TODAY and the vibes are electric. #FIGHTIQSPOTLIGHT

🥇 RONALD PARADEISER (23–9, 14 KOs) vs Kaik Brito (18–6) – Vacant WW title

Paradeiser wants two‑division glory after dominating LW. Brito blasted David Kozma for the belt in this arena three years ago. All 18 Brito wins = finishes. Pure violence.

⚡ TOMÁŠ MUDROCH (8–1) vs FEDOR DURIC (8–1) – Lightweight banger

Mudroch = all 8 wins in Rd 1, riding a 6‑fight streak. Duric = 8 wins in last 9. “Ostrava Express” vs German finisher. Both undefeated recently.

🇨🇿 JAKUB BATFALSKÝ (8–2, 6 finishes)

22‑year‑old Czech prospect vs Eugen Black‑Dell, two‑time German champ. Batfalský fights for the home crowd and his future.

LUX 58 is LOADED with killers tonight, so we’re zooming in on four names/fights you need to watch. #FIGHTIQSPOTLIGHT

🥇 JORGE CALVO (20–6, 11 subs) – Flyweight Champ

Costa Rican vet with 11 submission wins, years of experience against killers in Titan FC and LUX. Defends his belt vs Paulino Siller (16–3) in a classic “crafty grappler vs hungry finisher” title fight.

⚡ GABRIEL URBINO (6–0, 4 finishes)

Undefeated flyweight prospect taking a big step up vs dangerous vet Jesus Shiller (10–5). 6–0 vs 15‑fight experience is exactly the kind of matchup that tells us if Urbino is UFC‑level material.

🥊 SANTIAGO PRIETO (9–2) vs FABIÁN LÓPEZ (6–2) – Bantamweight war

Winner is very likely the next title challenger at 135. Prieto brings technical boxing and combinations; López is a pressure fighter with serious pop and a point to prove.

💣 LUIS ELIAS (9–1) vs “KIKE” GONZÁLEZ (13–6)

Elias is a flyweight wrecking ball with only one career loss. Kike is a CHAOS merchant who’s never been in a boring fight. Stylistic clash screams “fight of the night”.

📍 LUX 58: Domínguez vs González
🏟 Showcenter Complex, Monterrey

11-Year-Old Armbar Machine: Kris Bruce Kerssies Makes History at IMMAF Euros | Fight IQ Next Gen


In Belgrade, at the 2026 IMMAF European Championships, 11‑year‑old Dutch–Filipino prospect Kris Bruce Kerssies (@Kris_angHALIMAW on youtube and socials) just delivered one of the wildest youth runs we’ve seen – and made history for Dutch MMA.

Competing in Youth D at 37 kg, Kris fought FIVE times in one day on the official IMMAF stage, the world governing body for amateur MMA that structures competition from Youth through Junior and Senior and is backed by major players like UFC and BRAVE CF. He wasn’t just winning; he was finishing.

Here’s how his tournament went down:

R1 vs Joshua Brittain (England): americana from dominant top in 1:04.

R2 vs Logan McDonaldi (England): armbar in 0:32.

R3 vs Davin Dalton (Ireland): armbar in 0:13.

R4 vs Mihajlo Jovanic (Australia): armbar in 0:52.

Final vs Andrii Lytvynenko (Ukraine): early triangle attempt, then controlled the fight to take a clear decision and the European title.


With that, Kris became the first IMMAF European Youth Champion from the Netherlands and put Ruthless Fightcompany and Dutch youth MMA firmly on the continental map.

🥊 UFC VEGAS 113 TONIGHT — META APEX, LAS VEGAS

Two fights worth staying up for on a sneaky-good Apex card.

🔴 MAIN EVENT: Mario Bautista (#9) vs Vinicius "Lok Dog" Oliveira (#11) — Bantamweight, 5 Rounds

THE MATCHUP:
• Bautista (16-3, 10-3 UFC): 8-fight win streak snapped only by Umar Nurmagomedov. Elite calf
kicks, underrated wrestling, smart gameplan fighter. MMA Lab product.
• Oliveira (23-3, 4-0 UFC): 6-fight win streak. Explosive, unorthodox pressure with hands down.
Already calling out Nurmagomedov & O'Malley. "Lok Dog" is chaos incarnate.

THE QUESTION:
Can Bautista's discipline and footwork neutralize Oliveira's wild aggression over 5 rounds? Or does
Lok Dog's power and pace overwhelm the veteran?

🔴 CO-MAIN: Amir Albazi (#6) vs Kyoji Horiguchi (#8) — Flyweight, 3 Rounds

THE MATCHUP:
• Albazi (17-2, 5-1 UFC): 15-month layoff after UD loss to Brandon Moreno. Elite grappler,
dangerous back control, but striking limitations were exposed.
• Horiguchi (35-5, 8-1 UFC): Former Rizin & Bellator champ. Demolished Ulanbekov on UFC return.
6-fight win streak. Karate-based striking with elite footwork.

THE QUESTION:
Can Albazi's grappling slow down Horiguchi's speed and precision? Or does the Japanese legend
keep it standing and pick Albazi apart en route to a title shot?

📺 Main card: 8PM ET / 2AM CET on Paramount+
