Georgian featherweight Giga Chikadze is set to face Kevin Vallejos at UFC Vegas 112 this December, the final UFC event of 2025 – and of the ESPN era.
The event takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on December 13, 2025. Chikadze himself revealed news of the match-up on the Fight Hop podcast earlier today.
Chikadze (15-5) will be looking to snap a two-fight skid in the bout, having fallen to both Arnold Allen and David Onama of late. The Onama fight, his most recent, saw Chikadze losing a unanimous decision back in April.
Prior to that, “Ninka” had earned a win over Alex “Bruce Leeroy” Caceres.
Vallejos (16-1) has won both his assignments under the UFC banner. The 2024 Contender Series winner faced Danny Silva most recently, earning a unanimous decision victory.
