UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs. Onama—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 263, UFC Vegas 110, and UFC on ESPN+ 121—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on November 1, 2025. The event took place at the UFC Apex facility located in Enterprise, Nevada, United States.

Background

The main event featured a featherweight clash between Steve Garcia and David Onama.

Originally, the headline was set to be a heavyweight matchup involving former LFA Heavyweight Champion Waldo Cortes-Acosta and the winner of the 2022 PFL Heavyweight Tournament, Ante Delija. However, this bout was removed from the card for undisclosed reasons.

A middleweight contest was arranged between Nick Klein and the undefeated newcomer Donte Johnson. After Klein withdrew, Sedriques Dumas stepped in as his replacement.

Plans included a bantamweight fight between former LFA Bantamweight Champions Miles Johns and Muin Gafurov, but Gafurov pulled out. Consequently, Johns was rescheduled to compete at UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brown.

A flyweight bout featuring Rafael Estevam and Allan Nascimento was scheduled; however, Estevam withdrew and was substituted by Cody Durden, with the fight contested at a 130-pound catchweight.

Bonus awards

Four competitors were granted $50,000 bonuses:

  • Performance of the Night: Steve Garcia, Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Allan Nascimento, and Donte Johnson

No bonus for Fight of the Night was presented.

Isaac Dulgarian's betting scandal

Two days following the event, UFC announced the release of Isaac Dulgarian amid allegations of suspicious wagering activity related to his bout against Yadier del Valle. Betting lines shifted significantly from -250 to -154 shortly before the fight commenced. Dulgarian's subpar performance prompted concerns regarding the bout's legitimacy. The UFC stated it works closely with IC360 to oversee betting patterns and is conducting an in-depth investigation into the matter.

UFC CEO Dana White confirmed collaboration with the FBI concerning this probe. On November 13, the Nevada Athletic Commission imposed a temporary suspension on Dulgarian and planned votes to consider extending this suspension and withholding his fight earnings.
