- On Dec. 13, the UFC closes out 2025 at UFC Apex with Brandon Royval and Manel Kape headlining, starting at 170 and airing at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
- As an audition for a title shot, Brandon Royval seeks a rebound after losing to recently-crowned Flyweight Champion Joshua Van, while Manel Kape arrives after stoppage wins and six of seven victories.
- Notably, Brandon Royval holds the solo record for most Fight of the Night bonuses and is tied for most performance bonuses, while Manel Kape is one knockout away from tying the divisional knockout record.
