UFC Vegas 113 fight week has arrived. On the cusp of this year’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, CA, the premier MMA promotion offers action that delivers more excitement than any quarterback tackle. The rebranded Meta Apex in Enterprise, NV, will host the inaugural UFC Fight Night of 2026 this weekend.
Live coverage for UFC Vegas 113 kicks off with the prelims on Saturday afternoon at 5 pm ET/2 pm PT via Paramount Plus. The main card will follow at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on the same platform.
Without any last-minute changes, the event is set to showcase 13 fights.
Featured Prelim: Alex Morono vs. Daniil Donchenko
Kicking off the undercard on Saturday night, welterweights will step into the Octagon as Alex Morono (24-12, 1 NC MMA, 13-9, 1 NC UFC) faces Daniil Donchenko (12-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a participant from The Ultimate Fighter and ONE Championship. All bouts consist of a maximum of three rounds, five minutes each.
Morono heads into UFC Vegas 113 with a 1-4 record in his last five fights, having suffered three losses in a row, including a first-round knockout against Carlos Leal (22-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) last March. He has expressed intent to retire as an active UFC fighter, making this bout critical for him; a loss could mean the end of his time with the promotion.
Co-Featured Prelim: Nikolay Vertennikov vs. Niko Price
Before the featured prelim, the co-featured fight at 170 pounds will see Nikolay Vertennikov (13-7 MMA, 1-3 UFC) take on Niko Price (16-9, 2 NC MMA, 8-9, 2 NC UFC). Vertennikov comes into this match with a 2-3 record in his last five outings and was originally set to face Jose Henrique Souza (8-1 MMA) before Souza withdrew from the card.
Meanwhile, Niko Price steps in on short notice, holding a 1-4 record recently and is currently on a two-fight losing streak. Last June, he lost to Jacobe Smith (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) via second-round submission during UFC 317. Accepting this bout with such limited preparation is a challenge; if he can secure a victory, it would be quite an achievement.
UFC Vegas 113: Bruna Brasil vs. Ketlen Souza
In another matchup on the UFC Vegas 113 undercard, strawweights Bruna Brasil (11-5-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Ketlen Souza (15-6 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will clash. Brasil enters with a 3-2 record in her last five fights and recently earned a unanimous decision win against Ming Shi (17-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in August. Meanwhile, Souza also has a 2-3 record lately but has been inconsistent, having lost her last two after winning two straight.
Rest of the Card
The UFC Vegas 113 undercard will also include:
- A bantamweight fight featuring Said Nurmagomedov (18-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) against Javid Basharat (14-2, 1 NC MMA, 3-2, 1 NC UFC).
- A women’s flyweight bout between No. 12 contender Wang Cong (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and No. 13 contender Eduarda Moura (12-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
- A bantamweight matchup pitting Muin Gafurov (20-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) against Jakub Wiklacz (17-3-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC).
- A women’s bantamweight fight matching Klaudia Sygula (7-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with Priscilla Cachoeira (13-7 MMA, 5-7 UFC).
