The UFC’s final event of 2025 has seemingly just received an additional bout.
UFC 323 may have closed out the promotion’s PPV schedule for the year this past weekend but there’s still one event to go before a long break.
This weekend UFC Vegas 112 will take place at the Apex, Las Vegas. The main fight is Brandon Royval against Manel Kape.
Yaroslav Amoosov will make his debut in welterweight, against Neil Magny.
Reports claim that a second Octagon veteran, who has been in the promotion for many years, will welcome a new face on the same evening.
Merab Dvalishvili says UFC has already told him when he will return and what his preferred return date is.

King Green to take on Lance Gibson Jr. in UFC Vegas 112.
It was previously announced in a graphic for UFC Vegas 112 that King Green was expected to make his return on December 13 against an opponent that hadn’t been secured at that point in time.
Green was knocked out by Mauricio Ruffy in devastating fashion earlier this year and hasn’t fought since, after a scheduled matchup with Diego Ferreira in August was cancelled due to him suffering a significant injury.
Marcel Dorff, for example, has reported and his management has confirmed that Green now has an opponent on Saturday.
Canada’s Lance Gibson Jr. will be making his UFC debut on short notice to take on the 39-year-old Octagon veteran at 160 pounds.
The 30-year old was a star in Bellator, where he won five consecutive matches from 2019 to 2023. He has since left the promotion and achieved back-to-back victories in the first round.
Green was already in the UFC when Gibson Jr. made a pro debut. He had fought Dustin Poirier, Edson Barboza and others.
The veteran UFC fighter has headlined Fight Night events before, including one against Islam Makhachev in 2022 and another against Grant Dawson in 2023.
