The UFC has officially announced five fights for UFC Vegas 119 at the Meta Apex this June.
The Fight Night card will take place on June 20, 2026, headlined by a matchup between two top-ranked flyweights. This time under the UFC banner, #2 Manel Kape (22-7) will get another crack at #5 Kyoji Horiguchi (36-5). The two first met back in 2017 in the final round of the RIZIN Fighting World Grand Prix, where Horiguchi defeated Kape by submission.
Also officially added to the card is a women’s bantamweight clash between #15 Bia Mesquita (7-0) and Melissa Mullins (7-2). It’s an interesting booking, as Mesquita is coming off a breakout submission win over Montse Rendon, while Mullins receives ranked opposition after a decision loss to Darya Zheleznyakova.
Moving to the men’s flyweight division, undefeated André Lima (11-0) returns to battle veteran Kevin Borjas (10-5). It has been over a year since Lima’s last Octagon appearance, and he’ll look to make it two consecutive finishes against Borjas, who has been active himself. Facing a quick turnaround after being knocked out by Imanol Rodriguez in February, Borjas will be desperate to defy the odds and get back on track with a win over Lima.
Another undefeated prospect, Navajo Stirling (9-0), will look to score his second UFC finish, this time against improved competition in Ion Cutelaba (20-11-1). Both light heavyweights were victorious in their most recent appearances, though Cutelaba will give Stirling a new look in the cage, as his last two wins have come by submission.
A fiery featherweight matchup is also set, as Hyder Amil (11-2) and Christian Rodriguez (12-4) fight for security on the roster. Both men are staring at two losses in their last two outings, but a competitive throwdown could be in order, with major implications for the future of their UFC careers.
