2025 is now in the rearview mirror for the UFC and let's look at their last event of the calendar year with UFC Apex 112. Also a little bonus, the top 25 upsets of 2025 in the UFC.

UFC 323 crowned 2 new champions, 1 in outstanding and shocking fashion while the other was more Vitor Belfort at 205 style where the fight ended in fluke injury but hey a win is a win and it freshens up a division that was largely clear out (including this weekend's main event).We also have the final show of the year from the UFC from the Apex which seriously is bad scheduling but it's not a bad card, relevant and well timed main event, couple of action fights and some interesting rankings impacting fights.Let's break it down.

Bit of lackluster main event and I did call Joshua Van "Yan"...ooops but this card has some high points. The only issue I have is there are a lot of "I don't want to pick this fighter because of X" fights where it's picking by nullification rather than positive thoughts.Let's break it down.

The UFC headed for the first time to Doha, Qatar with a pretty solid card. Former Champion Belal Muhammad, almost certain future belt challengers in Ian Macado Garry and Arman Tsarukyan and of course action fighter Veteran Dan Hooker.But the biggest news? Guess who's back, back again, Kyoji Horiguchi is back.

Dominance is the name of the game coming out of UFC 322.Islam Makachev is now a 2 division champion in dominant fashion and Valentina Shevchenko turns back Weilli Zhang's did to the same. It was a bit of an anti climatic way to finish a card that was otherwise on fire with multiple KOs and a lot of violence. But sometimes that is the way the dice fall.Let's unpack the action.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread

So 2 notes:1) Wellmaker/Haddon is now off and Wellmaker is going to murder some rando2) Didn't even realize Sabatini/Chepe was a rematch! and I now hate it so much lolThe UFC returns to MSG with 2 title fights, a lot of important and relevant fights and yet somehow lackluster match making, feels like more than a few of these fighters could be doing something cooler is all. Still it's a great card and let's kick back and enjoy.Let's break it down.

UFC Vegas 111 delivered nicely honestly. Finish heavy albeit not the most meaningful ones. Minimal decisions. Only 1 fight that I would describe as dull.

The UFC with back to back Apex shows has to be some level of promotional malpractice because it's flat cards back to back. Now this one is better than Apex 110. It's got some interesting and action heavy fights up and down. But with few exceptions (the Main event and possible CLD vs Tulio and the Cavalcanti vs MBS fights) there isn't a lot of stakes at play.Let's break it down.
