The Ultimate Fighting Championship kicks off its busy April with a Meta Apex card, which is now official following the UFC Vegas 115 weigh-ins and two weight misses.
Headlining the 13-fight card is a fight between lightweight veteran Renato Carneiro and prospect Chris Duncan. This is the fourth UFC main event for “Money Moicano,” who had no issue making weight for the five-round fight, just like his opponent. However, three fighters weren’t professional as Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev, Rafael Estevam and Darrius Flowers all missed weight for their respective bouts. Of the three, Yakhyaev returned to hit 206 pounds. The other two will be fined 20% of their purses.
Carneiro (20-7-1) enters the fight on a two-fight losing streak, as he went winless in 2025. Losses to Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush capped off a disappointing year that broke a four-fight win streak. The 36-year-old Brazilian will look to show he’s still a contender by beating his younger opponent and stepped on the scale at 156 pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, Scotland’s Duncan (15-2) is riding a four-fight win streak. “The Problem” lived up to his nickname by submitting Terrance McKinney in his last outing. A well-rounded threat, he’s finished 11 of his 15 victories. Duncan officially weighed 156 pounds exactly for his first UFC main event.
UFC Vegas 115 will stream live on Paramount+ on Saturday. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
