Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Billy Elekana scored his first Octagon finish as he clipped Kevin Christian with a vicious right hook and then proceeded to choke him unconscious at UFC Vegas 110<\/a> last night (Sat., Nov. 1, 2025) inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

UFC company officials confirmed to MMAmania.com<\/a> that Christian was transported to a local \u201cSin City\u201d hospital immediately after his loss for a precautionary CT scan of his head and face.<\/p>\n

The good news: the Brazilian was later discharged. However, the results of the scan have not yet been made public.<\/p>\n

Christian (9-3) \u2014 a Season 8 Contender Series contract winner<\/a> \u2014 was making his long-awaited UFC debut after a 14-month layoff. Unfortunately, it couldn\u2019t have gone much worse. The loss snapped his six-fight winning streak, all of which came by stoppage.<\/p>\n

Standing 6\u20197\u201d, Christian will aim to regroup and return to the win column in 2026.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Elekana (9-2) continues to build momentum. The 30-year-old Hawaiian has now won two straight since losing his debut to Bogdan Guskov at UFC 311<\/a> (watch highlights<\/a>), ending the year on a high note with his first official UFC finish \u2014 even if it didn\u2019t earn him a \u201cPerformance of the Night<\/a>\u201d bonus.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that it is not uncommon<\/a> for UFC fighters to be transported to the hospital as a precaution, especially after knockouts or three-round wars with sustained damage.<\/p>\n
