The story

Sal Everett, who serves as a personal runner for UFC CEO Dana White, successfully transitioned from employee to active roster member after a first-round knockout victory over Ozzy Martin. Everett utilized his jab before landing a decisive right hand to finish the welterweight contest at 1:57 of the opening frame.

The event also featured a headlining knockout from Preston LaGrange, who defeated judoka Nell Ariano at 2:24 of the first round. Additionally, Roque Conceicao submitted Alexander Chavez with a triangle choke, and Mateus Soares earned a TKO victory against Ryuho Miyaguchi in 63 seconds. All four winners were awarded UFC contracts by Dana White.

The opening bout saw Alivia Bierley extend her win streak to six by defeating Summer Onley via unanimous decision. Despite the win, Bierley was not offered a contract by the promotion.
