UFC Vegas 115<\/a> went down last night (Sat., April 4, 2026) inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, which saw Renato Moicano strangle Chris Duncan into submission in the second round of the main event (see it again here<\/a>). In the co-main event of the evening, Virna Jandiroba defeated Tabatha Ricci via unanimous decision in women\u2019s Flyweight action.<\/p>\n

Biggest Winner: Renato Moicano<\/p>\n

Moicnao got back on track in a big way by submitting Duncan in the second round of their headlining Lightweight bout via rear-naked choke (highlights<\/a>). The win is his first since Sept 2024, snapping his two-fight skid. \u201cMoney\u201d looked fresh, loose and smooth throughout. He looked great on the feet, but after taking it to the ground he went to his bread-and-butter and used his world-class jiu-jitsu to secure the win. In victory, Moicano will remain in the top 10 and gets a fresh coat of confidence to wear heading into his next challenge in the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Runner Up: Tommy McMillen<\/p>\n

Last week, UFC newcomer Lerryane Douglas had himself an impressive Octagon debut in Seattle after knocking out Julian Erosa (see it here<\/a>), putting the Featherweight division on notice. Now, McMillen has added some more flavor to the growing 145-pound weight class after destroying Manolo Zechinni in his UFC debut in the very first round (see it again here<\/a>). The win ups his record to 10-0, winning nine of those fights by way of stoppage. He also nabbed a cool $100,000 post-fight bonus award<\/a>, in the process.<\/p>\n

Biggest Loser: Hailey Cowan<\/p>\n

Coming into the event, Hailey Cowan was our fighter selected<\/a> for the one who needed a win the most seeing as how she was coming with with two straight losses in as many tries inside the Octagon. Things only got worse for \u201cAll Hail,\u201d who suffered a brutal knockout defeat courtesy of Alice Pereira, who finished her with a devastating knee in round two (see it again here<\/a>). Cowan has now come up short in all three attempts inside the Octagon \u2014 getting finished on two occasions \u2014 which likely means she will be out of the promotion once matchmakers start making the next round of cuts.<\/p>\n
