Moicano’s face‑crank submission of Chris Duncan set the tone for UFC Vegas 115, leaving him primed for a bout with Paddy Pimblett. The 36‑year‑old Brazilian, who has a 5‑2 record in his last seven fights, would bring a tough challenge to the 23‑4 Pimblett, who recently bounced back from a loss to Justin Gaethje.
In the strawweight division, Virna Jandiroba’s unanimous decision over Tabatha Ricci earned her a potential clash with Gillian Robertson, who is riding a five‑fight win streak and could headline a Fight Night. Meanwhile, undefeated 25‑year‑old Abdul‑Rakhman Yakhyaev, who finished Brendson Ribeiro with a rear‑naked choke, is set to face Australian grappler Jimmy Crute, promising an intriguing grappling showdown.
