Record: 18-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC
Opponent: David Onama (14-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC)
Division: Featherweight
Key wins: Calvin Kattar, Kyle Nelson, Seung Woo Choi, Chase Hooper
Misc.: Garcia dropped two of his first three fights in the UFC, but has been on a tear ever since. His current six-fight winning streak started with five straight knockout wins, including three first-rounders. All three of those quick finishes were rewarded with $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses. Garcia took his biggest step forward yet in July when he outworked Calvin Kattar for a unanimous decision in Nashville.

Record: 14-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC
Opponent: Steve Garcia (18-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC)
Division: Featherweight
Key wins: Giga Chikadze, Jonathan Pearce, Gabriel Santos
Misc.: Like Garcia, Onama’s UFC tenure started a little rocky at 2-2 – though he also had two bonuses in that run. THe past two years, though, he’s on a four-fight winning streak. It started with a bonus-winning knockout of Gabriel Santos. The most recent three wins have been decisions, including one in which he missed weight against Jonathan Pearce 18 months ago.

Record: 14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC
Opponent: Ante Delija (26-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC)
Division: Heavyweight
Key wins: Serghei Spivac, Ryan Spann, Andrei Arlovski
Misc.: The 34-year-old “Salsa Boy,” from the Dominican Republic, had his five-fight winning streak snapped at the hands of Sergei Pavlovich two months ago – his first loss in more than two years. He’s being thrown right back into the fire against another highly accomplished opponent in Delija.

Record: 26-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC
Opponent: Waldo Cortes-Acosta (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC)
Division: Heavyweight
Key wins: Marcin Tybura, Maurice Greene, Matheus Scheffel (twice), Renan Ferreira
Misc.: Delija finally made his way to the UFC earlier this year nearly five years after he was set to fight Ciryl Gane in his promotional debut, but had it go awry with contract issues. He went to the PFL instead, and in 2022 won that promotion’s $1 million tournament prize. His UFC debut in early September produced a $50,000 bonus for his knockout of Tybura.

Record: 9-2
Opponent: Billy Elekana (8-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Misc.: The 6-foot-7 Christian could be a problem for UFC 205-pounders. He got here with a submission on DWCS in September 2024, and now 13 months later he’s finally set for his debut. The 30-year-old Brazilian has all finishes on his record.

Record: 6-0
Opponent: Sedriques Dumas (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Misc.: Johnson earned his UFC contract just two months ago on DWCS with a 64-second knockout at heavyweight. He was fighting up to get a shot at the big show, and it paid off. He was only 209 pounds for that fight, and now he’ll drop down to 185. Amazingly, Johnson only turned pro 14 months ago, and as recently as June was fighting at heavyweight still. All six of his wins are first-round knockouts. In Dumas, he has an opponent who recently had to pull out of a fight because he had to wear an ankle monitor and who now is stepping in on short notice to replace Nick Klein.
