Pre-Fight
Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos
- Bout booked as the co‑main event of UFC Vegas 112 (UFC Apex, Las Vegas) on Dec. 13, 2025 — a 145 lb featherweight main‑card fight with the card slated to start around 10 p.m. ET. mmamania.com
- Profile contrast: Kevin Vallejos was presented as a 24‑year‑old Argentine prospect (shorter, pressure boxer) while Giga Chikadze was the 37‑year‑old Georgian kickboxing ace (taller, rangy striker). tapology.com
- Pre‑fight narrative framed this as a classic youth vs. veteran stylistic clash — Vallejos' pressure and boxing against Chikadze's long‑range kicks — with questions over whether Vallejos was ready for a ranked veteran and whether Chikadze could snap a recent downturn; betting markets and writers treated it as a meaningful stylistic test. lowkickmma.com

- Official finish: Kevin Vallejos defeated Giga Chikadze by KO/TKO — spinning backfist and elbows — at 1:29 of Round 2 (result line listed as KO/TKO, spinning backfist and elbows). wikipedia.org
- The knockout was noted as a dramatic, highlight‑reel spinning backfist finish and was reported as Giga Chikadze's first career KO loss; multiple outlets flagged the finish as a sudden, brutal stoppage. mmamania.com
Post-Fight
Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos

- Giga Chikadze publicly addressed fans after suffering the KO (articles referenced his comments and circulated video/highlight packages of the finish). mmafighting.com
- The loss deepened concerns about Chikadze's slide (reports noted multiple recent defeats and warned he must 'figure it out' quickly, with some pieces saying another loss could jeopardize his UFC roster spot). mmamania.com
- Post‑fight records and details listed Vallejos improving to 17‑1 and Chikadze dropping to 15‑6 on official event pages; finish listed as KO (spinning backfist) at 1:29 of Round 2. espn.com
