It’s the last UFC Fight Day of 2025 and we have a pretty solid lineup on the way for UFC Vegas 112 to round for things out for the year. The card features 13 matchups and will be headlined by a flyweight clash between Brandon Royval and Manel Kape that could have title implications for the winner.

All 26 fighters successfully made weight for the event, including Isaac Thomson and Lance Gibson Jr, who are both stepping in to make short notice debuts on the card.

My favorite picks for UFC Fight Night: Royval vs Kape are Kevin Vallejos, Gillian Robertson, Yaroslav Amosov and Steven Asplund. Melquizael Costa was my favorite betting underdog of the card, but he’s flipped to a favorite.

Vallejos has put together a 2-0 start to his UFC career and is 16-1 overall, with his only loss coming to Jean Silva. He’ll be 13 years younger than Chikadze in this matchup, and as long as he protects his body from the kicks of Giga, he should cruise in this one. Vallejos should land more volume, create more damage and be live for a stoppage later in the fight.

Robertson will be looking for her 5th straight win when she faces Amanda Lemos, and I love the matchup for her. Lemos will likely be the more dangerous fighter on the feet, but Robertson should be able to ground her relatively easily. Once she gets her down, I think Robertson will be able to wear Lemos out for a stoppage win, likely by submission.

Amosov is making his UFC debut and immediately draws a tough test with Neil Magny. While we’ve seen Magny give some prospects fits in the past, I don’t really include Amosov in that category with a 28-1 record. I expect Amosov to look to get this one on the ground quickly and he should be able to find an early submission win once he does.

Asplund is also making his UFC debut and gets a good matchup here against Sean Sharaf. Asplund is a heavy hitter and has shown to be pretty durable, while Sharaf has questionable cardio and very limited experience (his past opponents he’s beaten have a combined 4 MMA wins, including his ammy career). I think Asplund can stay safe early and should be able to put away Sharaf down the stretch.

For the betting card this week, I didn’t run much with a few prop bets and one parlay for the tracked bets. The prop bets are Amosov by Submission (+250 for .5 units), Amosov by Anaconda (+1000 for .25 units) and Robertson by Submission (+275 for .5 units). The parlay is Asplund to Win Inside the Distance + Robertson ML + Vallejos to Win and Over 1.5 Rounds (+348 for .5 units). That’s a total of 4 tracked bets for 1.75 units.

For the parlay, make sure you run the Vallejos line as a SGP on DraftKings, it bumps the line considerably as opposed to the same listing under Fight Parlays (+297 total without running as Same Game Parlay). Both submission lines have dropped considerably during the week, but I still think both are playable against opponents prone to being subbed.

We’ve had a pretty solid run across the last five events, so hopefully we can get one more in to finish off the year strong.

After today’s card, there will be an extended six-week break over the holidays as the promotion prepares to launch into the Paramount+ era with UFC 324 on January 24th. Be sure to check back during the break for updates, including when our poster collab with Julius Walker goes on sale!

Huge thank you again to everyone who continues to help make these opportunities for collabs possible and who have helped us grow in that department this year! Hopefully we can keep it going in 2026 and land some more fun ones.

Overall, tonight’s card should be a pretty entertaining way to cap off the year and hopefully we’ll see quite a few finishes in the smaller Apex cage. Be sure to let us know who you’re liking on today’s card down in the comments. As always, best of luck on the bets and hope everyone enjoys the fights!
