The UFC put on what many fans thought was its best event of the year so far Saturday, at least in the instant reaction crowd.
At UFC Fight Night 269 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, there were six finishes – which tied the event for the most stoppage wins on one card in the promotion in 2026. Right at the top of the heap was the heavily favored featherweight upstart star headliner, Kevin Vallejos, who took out five-time main eventer Josh Emmett with ease.
Three of the finishes in “Sin City” got $100,000 post-fight bonuses, including the Fight of the Night winner from Marwan Rahiki, which was stopped after two rounds because he broke opponent Harry Hardwick’s jaw in a 10-minute slugfest. Check out Rahiki’s bonus-winning finish, as well as five other stellar stoppages, in the video above.
