UFC Vegas 107 results: Sooo … About last night | Barber vs. Blanchfield

Last night (Sat., May 31, 2025), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned home to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC Vegas 107. Was this the worst fight card of the year? It was already in pretty dire straights heading into fight week, then the weigh-ins proved to be an absolute clown show! One half of the headlining bout missed weight, one of the few relevant bouts on the card was forced up a weight class due, and another bout was cancelled outright! Then, at the very last second, the main event was canned outright when Maycee Barber suffered some sort of medical issue right as the main event intro aired!

Truly, this was a bottom of the pile Apex affair, but that doesn’t mean it was entirely without highlights … though I would expect a shorter article than usual. Let’s take a look back over the best performances and techniques of the evening:

Give Gamrot A Real Opponent

Ludovit Klein should not have been in the cage with Mateusz Gamrot.

Don’t get me wrong, Klein is a good fighter and was riding a solid win streak. Seven in a row is never a joke at 155-pounds, but the best win of his streak was … Thiago Moises? He’s a slick kickboxer and was able to show some of those skills, but Gamrot introduced him to an entirely different level of wrestling.

“Gamer” controlled a crazy percentage of the opening ten minutes from top position. Klein simply could not escape his opponent’s grasp no matter what he tried. Gamrot struck for a bit in round three and more than held his own, still closing with a late takedown and heavy ground strikes to seal the shutout win.

I get that Gamrot’s style isn’t sexy and won’t sell many pay-per-views (PPV), but he’s a world-class fighter Lightweight and deserves to be matched appropriately. I like the Benoit Saint Denis callout next!

Thank You Dustin Jacoby

Right as the card was slumping, Dustin Jacoby delivered some violence.

As the fight began, my first thought was “Dang, Bruno Lopes is huge!” It didn’t end up mattering in the least, however, as Jacoby cracked his foe very early on with a clean jab. Lopes’ knees were wobbly, and he fell into the fence. He showed some grit to keep his feet beneath him and stay in the fight while wounded, but the end result was something like two dozen more Jacoby left hooks and right hands finding the target. It took a long while for the Brazilian to hit the canvas, but when he did, he was out cold.

It wasn’t that long ago that Jacoby lost four of five, leading many to wonder if his second UFC stint was coming to an end. He’s since rebounded with two straight knockouts over younger prospects, which really gives some perspective that he just happened to fight a handful of pretty tough customers and had a couple bad breaks along the way.

“The Hanyak” has proven he’s still a dangerous vet, and I hope he keeps testing these up-and-comers.

Women’s Bantamweight Or Featherweight … Who Cares?

Outside of the main event, Ketlen Vieira vs. Macy Chiasson was the only collision of ranked fighters on the entire card. Theoretically, it was an important fight.

In practice? Not so much. Vieira vs. Chiasson was the bout that mysteriously moved weight classes on weigh-in day, presumably because Chiasson — a longtime Featherweight — was struggling to make weight. Women’s Featherweight has gone the way of the dodo already, and if this is really the best 135-pounds has to offer, it might be time to send Bantamweight down the river as well.

While the match itself wasn’t particularly dreadful, it also wasn’t a good or high-level example of MMA. It certainly shouldn’t be representative of Top 10 talent. Chiasson runs around and punches without setting her feet, Vieira lumbers forward with the same cross-hook-cross combination every other moment. At some point, Vieira realized she could easily wrestle her opponent, and the rest of the fight took place in Chiasson’s closed guard. Both of them are the exact same fighters they were five years ago, and they’ve failed to break into the title picture despite the division’s general stagnation.

If most of the card felt like a Contenders Series Tuesday, this bout belonged in Invicta.

I understand Kayla Harrison is probably going to become world champion next weekend, and some people are excited about the prospect. Harrison doesn’t have long for the weight class, however, so whenever she decides it’s time to stop starving herself, let’s stop pretending the division has moved on from the Ronda Rousey days and focus on building Strawweight and Flyweight.

Additional Thoughts

Ramiz Brahimaj defeats Billy Ray Goff via first-round guillotine (highlights): Brahimaj entered as an underdog, but this bout went really smoothly for him. He scored on his first takedown attempt of the fight after pressuring forward early on. Goff wrestled back to his feet and tried to land his own takedown, but Brahimaj countered with a brilliant ninja choke. He then transitioned to a high-elbow guillotine, lifting Goff off the canvas before letting him slump to the floor unconscious. Slick!

Jordan Leavitt defeats Kurt Holobaugh via first-round anaconda choke (highlights): He may never score a ranking next to his name, but Leavitt is damn good at what he does. He took down Holobaugh — a highly experienced and skilled veteran — in the opening 15 seconds and was in complete control. Holobaugh did well to deny the back take while trying to scramble to his feet, nearly shaking Leavitt off him. Instead of falling to his back, however, “The Monkey King” snagged a front head lock and used the threat to roll Holobaugh to his back. In the transition, he switched to an anaconda choke. That’s already slick work, but Leavitt really showed his expertise by focusing on hooking the trapped arm with his inner thigh, preventing Holobaugh from posting or circling his hips away from the squeeze. Within just a few seconds, Holobaugh was out cold!
