Gabriel Bonfim captured the biggest win of his career so far with a main event shutout last night (Sat., June 6, 2026) at UFC Vegas 118 live on Paramount+ from inside UFC’s Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, dominating former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad over the course of five rounds. In the co-headliner, middleweight contender Brendan Allen outlasted Edmen Shahbazyan in a bloody all-out war.

In addition, UFC’s return to “Sin City” produced a long list of memorable performances and finishes. Check out some of the carnage below and let us know which outing stood out the most:

  • Iwo Baraniewski pushed his UFC win streak to three with a brutal leg kick TKO stoppage over Octagon veteran Junior Tafa (see it HERE)
  • Flyweight powerhouse Alessandro Costa sent struggling veteran Matt Schnell packing with a nasty first-round TKO finish
OUT OF NOWHERE!

Alessandro Costa ends this one early in R1 for the TKO!
