Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., March. 11, 2026) with UFC Vegas 114 airing live on Paramount+<\/a>. The event is happening in the newly named META APEX facility in Las Vegas, NV. The main event for this one is Josh Emmett vs. Kevin Vallejos in the Featherweight division.<\/p>\n

This is UFC\u2019s first visit back to the APEX since early February. There\u2019s a lot of guys and gals on here who have spent plenty of time in this warehouse.<\/p>\n

Josh Emmett has been on some big shows. However, at 41, those times might be behind him. Kevin Vallejos will look to put him out to pasture, like he did to Giga Chikadze in his last fight. Vallejos has only fought three times in UFC, but his striking looks devastating. Emmett will be hoping to prove there\u2019s levels to this game, though, and that he\u2019s a cut above the rising prospect.<\/p>\n

The co-main event tonight is Amanda Lemos vs. Gillian Robertson. Robertson has become one of the more reliable finishers in the Strawweight division. She might have a title shot waiting for her if she can get through Lemos (who challenged Zhang Weili for the belt back in 2024).<\/p>\n

Also on the main card is Oumar Sy vs. Ion Cutelaba, Charles Johnson vs. Bruno Silva, Andre Fili vs. Jose Delgado and Marwan Rahiki vs. Harry Hardwick (for some reason).<\/p>\n

The \u201cPrelims\u201d have some decent match-ups, including Vitor Petrino vs. Steven Asplund and Chris Curtis vs. Myktybek Orolbai. There\u2019s also appearances from prospects Bia Mesquita, Elijah Smith and Manoel Sousa.<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas 114 Start Date and Time<\/p>\n

No surprises tonight. All of UFC Vegas 114 airs on Paramount+, which you can stream here<\/a>. The \u2018Prelims\u2019 begin at 5:00 p.m. ET. The main card starts at 9 p.m. ET. I\u2019m loving these earlier starts (and finishes), by the way.<\/p>\n

The live blog here starts rolling at 5 p.m. ET. Come on in and watch the fights with us.<\/p>\n

UFC VEGAS 114 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES<\/p>\n

Brad Tavares vs. Eryk Anders: This is why you book guys who are a similar age. These two vets put on a very entertaining, and even-matched, bout. Anders drew first blood, almost finishing Tavares in the first. But Tavares survived. And in the second he knocked Anders down. In the third, Anders had a just a little more left in the tank. He was able to score the takedowns he needed to take the decision.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Eryk Anders def. Brad Tavares by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)<\/p>\n

Bia Mesquita vs. Montse Rendon: That was a walk in the park for Mesquita. She wobbled Rendon with a punch, took her down, glided in full mount and then beat the hell out of her. When Rendon gave Mesquita her back, it was all over. Mesquita is the real deal.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Bia Mesquita def. Montse Rendon by submission (rear naked choke), round 1 (2:07)<\/p>\n

Luan Lacerda vs. Hecher Sosa: This was a ton of fun. Both these guys came to fight. They brawled it outand had some entertaining exchanges on the ground. Sosa, though, caused more damage across the board (including off his back with elbows). Lacerda likely broke Sosa\u2019s nose with a clinch knee, but other than that Sosa landed the big shots and, for me, he took every round.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Hecher Sosa def. Luan Lacerda by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)<\/p>\n

Piera Rodriguez vs. Sam Hughes: Rodriguez left her wrestling in her back pocket and decided to bog up Hughes in this one. After causing some damage, she had Hughes looking for the takedown. Rodriguez was able to stuff those and then earn the unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

Official decision: Piera Rodriguez def. Sam Hughes by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)<\/p>\n
