UFC Vegas 121 goes down Sept. 26 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas with Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos in the bantamweight headliner, MMA Mania confirmed.

The Paramount+ stream splits into two windows. Prelims start at 5 p.m. ET with six fights, followed by the five-bout main card at 8 p.m. ET. Middleweight contenders Rodolfo Vieira and Robert Bryczek anchor the televised portion underneath the main event, while the undercard carries a trio of 135-pound scraps including Montel Jackson against Ricky Simón.

The main card also features bantamweights Ilimbek Akylbek and Mehemmedeli Osmanli, strawweights Tina Black and Melissa Amaya, and Rinya Nakamura squaring off with Brady Hiestand at 135. Light heavyweight Rodolfo Bellato opens the prelims against Christian Edwards, followed by Elves Brener versus Josiah Harrell at lightweight. Norma Dumont meets Ailin Perez, John Castañeda faces Alatengheili, and Mickey Gall returns at welterweight opposite Sedriques Dumas. Yazmin Jauregui and Vanessa Demopoulos close out the strawweight contingent.

The promotion lists all matchups and broadcast slots as subject to change. Rosas Jr. looks to extend his streak in front of the hometown crowd, while Barcelos hunts a statement finish to break back into rankings. First bell rings in five days.
