The UFC Vegas 115 fight night, held at the Meta APEX, was headlined by an exciting lightweight clash between Renato Moicano and Chris Duncan.
Renato Moicano, aiming to return to the win column after back-to-back losses against Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush, hoped to continue his ascent in the 155-pound rankings. Standing in his way was Chris Duncan, a Scottish fighter with an impressive four-fight winning streak, seeking his seventh career victory inside the Octagon. Duncan entered the bout following a spectacular first-round submission win over Terence McKinney in December.
In the co-main event of the evening, a potential strawweight eliminator took place, featuring former title challenger Virna Jandiroba against Tabatha Ricci.
Before the main card, spectators were treated to seven intense preliminary bouts. Highlights included the sophomore appearance of Brazilian knockout artist Alice Pereira and an intriguing heavyweight showdown between Thomas Petersen and the undefeated Guilherme Pat.
