Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., Nov. 7, 2026)with UFC Vegas 124, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event goes down inside the familiar META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event was supposed to be Sean Brady vs. Gabriel Bonfim; however, a nasty infection ruined that. Sliding in will be Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Johnny Walker in the Heavyweight division.
UFC Vegas 124 Preview
UFC remains inside Meta APEX for the second straight week here, with Cortes-Acosta vs. Walker as the main event. Cortes-Acosta has found himself off the pace in the title chase lately, after coughing up two decision losses in a row. Walker, meanwhile, introduced himself to the “Land of the Giants” with a cracking knockout over Mick Parkin earlier this year (re-live that here).
The co-main event has Tatiana Suarez vs. Virna Jandiroba. Both these women had unsuccessful title challenges in recent years. This bout might determine which among them has any shot of getting a second title fight at 115 pounds.
Rounding out the main card is Davey Grant vs. Elijah Smith, Billy Elekana vs. Lucas Fernando, Priscila Cachoeira vs. Nina Milosevic and Mitch Raposo vs. Marcus Degli. Smith, Fernando, Milosevic and Degli are the showcase fighters here. UFC will be hoping each of those produces a highlight reel finish.
The featured “Prelims” bout is Road to UFC winner, Keiichiro Nakamura, taking on Ollie Schmid. There are some established veterans on the undercard, too, with Andre Petroski meeting Mantas Kondratavicius, Wellington Turman returning to face Seokhyeon Ko and Karine Silva taking on Gabriella Fernandes.
The “Prelims” also include Thomas Petersen vs. Gabriel Lorenco, Jose Delano vs Murtazali Magomedov, Austin Bashi vs. Carlos Calderon and Jonny Parsons vs. Jose Souza.

UFC VEGAS 124 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES
Prelims
Thomas Petersen vs. Gabriel Lorenco: Lorenco scored a handful of knockdowns in round one to earn a 10-8, on my scorecard. He gassed himself out, though. Petersen then almost finished him at the start of the second round. He gassed himself out doing that, though. In the third both men started very slow, but it was Petersen who showed more grit and summoned up the strength to get Lorenco down and pound him out (and save himself from a likely draw).
Official decision: Thomas Petersen def. Gabriel Lorenco by TKO (ground and pound), round 3 (4:47)
Karine Silva vs. Gabriella Fernandes: This was a highly skippable fight with the first round spent entirely on the fence with neither woman doing anything to advance the position or offer any kind of threat. It picked up a little as the fight wore on, but still looked mostly like sparring. Silva is the busier fighter, so she edged it on my scorecard.
Official decision: Karine Silva def. Gabriella Fernandes by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Murtazali Magomedov vs. Jose Delano: These two put on a very close and technical fight. Delano got the first round, for me, with his volume striking. Magomedov got the second round, with his wrestling and a nice head kick. The third was a toss up, with Delano having more gas in the tank and doing more with his striking. But Magomedov scored a knockdown in the final seconds. That gave him the round, and fight, on my scorecard. If not for the knockdown, I would have given that final round to Delano.
Official decision: Murtazali Magomedov def. Jose Delano by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Austin Bashi vs. Carlos Calderon: Bashi made quick work of the short notice opponent. He threw some chaotic strikes Calderon’s way, but looked much more composed when he got his takedown. On the ground he took the back easily and pounced on a tight rear naked choke/neck crank for the win.
Official decision: Austin Bashi def. Carlos Calderon by submission (rear naked choke), round 1 (1:07)
Andre Petroski vs. Mantas Kondratavicius: Kondratavicius had Petroski in some trouble early on, cracking him with very hard shots every time Petroski thought about a takedown. In the second round, though, Petroski imposed his wrestling game on the former kickboxer. Kondratavicius got trapped underneath and Petroski was able to break him down with ground and pound and snap his three fight losing streak.
Official decision: Andre Petroski def. Mantas Kondratavicius by TKO (ground and pound), round 2 (4:39)
Seokhyeon Ko vs. Wellington Turman: That was all Ko. He was sparking Turman with solid single shots throughout the fight and also got him down with some flashy takedowns. In the second Turman showed he’s got some bite on the feet and that led Ko to lean on his wrestling to seal the win here down the stretch.
Official decision: Seokhyeon Ko def. Wellington Turman by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Jose Souza vs. Jonny Parsons: Parsons was game for as long as this fight was on, but he didn’t have many answers for Souza’s length. Souza eventually cracked him with an uppercut and wrapped this up in the second round.
Official decision: Jose Souza def. Jonny Parsons by KO (uppercut), round 2 (4:16)
