Johnson flattens McConico

Donte Johnson scored a highlight-reel knockout in his middleweight tilt against Eric McConico, flooring his opponent with a blistering left hand.

The finish came at the 1:38 mark of the first round.

Johnson improved to 3-0 in the UFC and 9-0 as a professional with the victory. The 27-year-old submitted Sedriques Dumas in his debut last November and then earned a decision over Cody Brundage in March.

McConico has now alternated wins and losses in his five Octagon bouts, falling to 2-5. The 36-year-old sits at 11-5-1 as a pro.

Gore takes decision over Luque

Tresean Gore took home a unanimous decision win over Vicente Luque in a back-and-forth middleweight bout.

The judges scored the fight 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28 in Gore's favor.

Gore landed the more impactful punches throughout the encounter. He hurt Luque in the first round and also attempted a submission in the second round. Luque had his own fair share of offense, including a tight D'Arce choke in the second, but Gore clearly did enough to win the fight on the judges' scorecards.

The 32-year-old is now riding a two-fight winning streak and lifted his professional record to 7-4.

Luque fell to 1-3 in his last four Octagon appearances. The 34-year-old Brazilian's lone win during that stretch was a submission of Kelvin Gastelum in April.

Fernando earns brutal TKO in debut

Lucas Fernando delivered an impressive performance in his first trip to the Octagon.

The light heavyweight prospect sent Rafael Tobias crumbling to the mat with a devastating knee and scored a TKO finish at the 1:10 mark of the third round.

Fernando, 29, is now riding a five-fight winning streak. He signed with the UFC after four straight wins under the LFA banner, including a first-round finish in May.

Tobias, 23, fell to 0-2 in the promotion after suffering a unanimous decision loss in his debut in March.

Magny turns back the clock

Neil Magny picked up his 25th UFC win, finishing Ramiz Brahimaj via TKO at the 3:20 mark of the second round.

Magny is now tied with former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira for the second-most wins in promotion history, trailing just Jim Miller (28).

The 39-year-old spent much of the fight on bottom and defending submissions, but he turned the tide in the second round when he reversed the position and got on top of Brahimaj. Magny then finished Brahimaj with strikes up against the fence.

With the victory, Magny rebounded from a submission loss to Yaroslav Amosov last December. He's 3-1 in his last four Octagon outings.

Brahimaj, 33, is now riding a two-fight skid.

Wells pulls off wild comeback

Underdog Jeremiah Wells proved the oddsmakers wrong in the curtain jerker, rallying to put Myktybek Orolbai to sleep with a guillotine choke. The finish came at the 1:24 mark of the third round.

Wells, 39, said in his postfight interview that he's contemplating retiring from MMA.

Orolbai dominated Wells with wrestling in the first two rounds before Wells stunned him with the submission. Wells is now riding a two-fight winning streak and is 6-2 in the UFC.

Orolbai's three-fight winning streak ended. The 28-year-old suffered his first loss since facing Mateusz Rebecki in a Fight of the Year candidate in October 2024 and first defeat since moving up to the welterweight division in 2025.

Prefight notes

Makhachev is defending the 170-pound title for the first time. The 34-year-old Dagestani won the belt at UFC 322 last November in a lopsided victory over Jack Della Maddalena. That marked Makhachev's first Octagon appearance at welterweight following a dominant lightweight title reign, during which he recorded four defenses.

With a victory over Garry, Makhachev will set a new record for the longest winning streak in UFC history (17), surpassing Anderson Silva, who has held the record since 2010.

Garry is looking to become Ireland's first UFC champion since Conor McGregor. The No. 2-ranked welterweight earned the title shot with back-to-back wins over former champion Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates. Garry, 28, is 10-1 in the promotion, with his lone loss coming against Shavkat Rakhmonov in 2024.
