Pre-Fight
Ante Delija vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta
- The bout served as the co‑main event of UFC Vegas 110 at the UFC APEX on Nov. 1, 2025, featuring two top‑15 heavyweights. mmafighting.com
- Ante Delija entered as a former PFL heavyweight tournament winner (about 26‑7) and a teammate of Tom Aspinall; Waldo Cortes‑Acosta was billed as a heavyweight contender (record listed ~15‑2/16‑2) coming off a loss to Sergei Pavlovich. sports.yahoo.com
- Pre‑fight listings (Tapology) provided physicals/nicks and betting info: listed weights, heights, reach, ages, nicknames (“Salsa Boy” and “Walking Trouble”) and near‑even odds for the matchup. tapology.com
During Fight
Ante Delija vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta
- In round one Delija landed a severe eye‑poke on Cortes‑Acosta during a flurry; referee Mark Smith stepped in and initially halted action while Delija celebrated — replay confirmed the eye poke and Cortes‑Acosta was given time to recover beyond the expected window. sports.yahoo.com
- The referee restarted the fight but declined to deduct a point from Delija; seconds after the restart Cortes‑Acosta stormed back, landed a jab‑cross, dropped Delija and finished with ground‑and‑pound. tapology.com
- Official result: Waldo Cortes‑Acosta def. Ante Delija via KO/TKO (punches) at 3:59 of Round 1 — the finish was widely described as a chaotic, controversial, come‑from‑behind knockout. fightful.com
Post-Fight
Ante Delija vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta
- Cortes‑Acosta publicly complained about Delija's eye‑pokes after the fight and in an expletive‑filled interview called out heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. sports.yahoo.com
- Cortes‑Acosta earned a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus and the win improved his recent Octagon form (noted as 6‑1 in his last seven in coverage); Delija said he felt "robbed," and outlets flagged the finish as likely to set back Delija's Top‑5 push. mmamania.com
