From knockouts and post-fight interviews to funny in-cage spots, or maybe you\u2019re a hardcore mixed martial arts (MMA) freak and remember everything.<\/p>\n
Well, either way, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
In part four of UFC 2025, \u201cRewind,\u201d which runs from UFC Rio<\/a> (Oct. 11, 2025) to UFC Vegas 112<\/a> (Dec. 13, 2025), we look back at some of the most memorable moments from that specific event timeline, including Tom Aspinall getting eye gouged, Islam Makhachev making history, and the end of ESPN.<\/p>\n Lucas Almeida made headlines before the fight for hiding an obviously injured hand<\/a> (which ended up being broken) and paid for it as he got pummeled by Michael Aswell, getting stopped in the first round.<\/p>\n Azamat Bekoev was on the path to becoming a real player in the Middleweight division; however, that ended at UFC Vancouver when UFC rookie Yousri Belgaroui beat him up for three rounds, eventually stopping him in the third round<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ah, UFC Vegas 110, the event that had the alleged Issac Dulgarian fight fixing scandal \u2014 if you don\u2019t know about that, here are the details<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, I\u2019m going to mention the co-main event between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Ante Delija because it was crazy. Cortes-Acosta was initially finished in the first round<\/a> by Delija, but an instant replay review revealed an eye poke moments before the stoppage. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) ruled the strike accidental and restarted the fight \u2014 and just seconds later, \u201cSalsa Boy\u201d knocked Delija out.<\/p>\n Every MMA fan has been waiting for Christian Leroy Duncan to really break out, as he is an incredibly gifted fighter, and at UFC Vegas 111 \u2014 he finally did as he viciously knocked out Marco Tulio with a spinning back fist followed by a gnarly punch.<\/a><\/p>\n Four brutal knockouts happened at UFC 322, but the one that I kept going to was Bo Nickal\u2019s nasty head kick<\/a> on Rodolfo Vieira, simply because of the pressure that was on his shoulders after his first pro loss earlier in the year.<\/p>\n The final UFC fight card to take place in the ESPN era was a violent UFC Apex card \u2014 and I\u2019ll end this four-part yearly series with another nasty head kick at the hands (or leg) of Melquizael Costa.<\/p>\n Oh, he was robbed of a $50k bonus, too.<\/p>\n
