Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan headline UFC Vegas 123
Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan will headline UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Nolan at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The lightweight bout is scheduled for five rounds, pitting the experienced Brazilian veteran against the rising Australian prospect.
Moicano, ranked 12th in the division, enters the fight following a second-round submission victory over Chris Duncan in April. Nolan, ranked 14th, arrives on a five-fight winning streak and is seeking his first UFC main event victory to break into the division’s elite.
The event also features a co-main event between Randy Brown and Jacobe Smith in the welterweight division. Other notable matchups include a women’s bantamweight bout between Yana Santos and Luana Santos. During official weigh-ins, most fighters met their requirements, though Francis Marshall missed the featherweight non-title limit by two pounds, resulting in his bout against Dakota Hope being moved to a catchweight.
