UFC Vegas 112 video: Melquizael Costa crushes Morgan Charriere with brutal head kick knockout
Melquizael Costa capped off a tremendous 2025 with his fourth win of the year but none better than the vicious head kick knockout he delivered at UFC Vegas 112.
In the feature prelim of UFC on ESPN 73 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Amosov (29-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) took on welterweight mainstay Neil Magny. Amosov took a few moments to figure out Magny (31-14 MMA, 24-13 UFC), and ended the fight in the first round by submission at 3:14.
The final UFC card of 2025 will unfortunately be one bout lighter after one fighter withdrew just hours before the event kicks off.
