Featherweight Showdown: Allen vs. Costa Headlines UFC Fight Night

UFC Fight Night 276 from Meta APEX in Las Vegas concludes the promotion's 12-week event schedule this Saturday, streaming on Paramount+. The featherweight main event features Arnold Allen, who achieved a historic 10-0 start in the octagon, a feat matched by only a handful of UFC legends.

Opposing Allen is Melquizael Costa, who carries the division's second-longest active winning streak. Costa has secured multiple victories by stoppage, including a rare spinning back kick knockout. The undercard, however, appears thin, particularly with the event facing competition from Netflix's debut MMA offering.

Several fighters on the card boast impressive statistics. Dooho Choi has a high stoppage rate, with many wins by knockout. Modestas Bukauskas has a strong record since his return to the UFC. Ketlen Vieira is noted for her high takedown defense rate and numerous decision victories in the women's bantamweight division.

Other notable fighters include Timothy Cuamba, who consistently lands takedowns, and Daniel Barez and Luis Gurule, both experiencing recent losing streaks. Cody Brundage is highlighted for making multiple appearances in 2026, while Polyana Viana has a history of submission wins and short fight times.
