UFC Vegas 123 ) , streaming live online via Paramount+ . The event goes down inside the familiar META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our main event on this Halloween event is Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan ( see betting odds here ).
It feels a little odd to see a UFC fight night land on Halloween. It would be nice if UFC did something to dress up for the occasion, but knowing them it will probably be business as usual.
Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan draw the short straw of being unable to go trick or treating with their kids this night ( are you? ). They are meeting in the main event, despite Moicano saying he was desperate to escape the APEX.
UFC Halloween's co-main event is DC's boy Jacobe Smith taking on the veteran Randy Brown ( on super short notice ). Smith has decimated all who have stood in his way so far. If he runs through Brown, then he's a real player at 170 pounds .
Rounding out UFC Halloween's main card is Ode' Osbourne vs. Cody Durden , Yana Santos vs. Luana Santos and Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani vs. Farman Hasanov .
The "Prelims" are headlined by Francis Marshall vs. Dakota Hope . The biggest match-up on that portion of the card is Zachary Reese vs. Mickey Gall , with Gall looking to avoid his fifth straight loss. Former OKTAGON two-division champ Lucia Szabova also debuts at this event. She fights Tainara Lisboa .
The rest of undercard includes Rodrigo Sezinando vs. Theodor Berggren , Julian Erosa vs. Jeong Yeong Lee ( in a retirement fight for Juicy J ), Nick Klein vs. Joseph Kropschott and Talita Alencar vs. Piera Rodriguez .
We are back in the APEX tonight and that means a return to our usual broadcast times.
UFC Halloween "Prelims" will begin at 5 p.m. ET .
UFC Halloween main card is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET .
All of Halloween airs on Paramount+ , which you can stream here .

125 lbs.: Lucia Szabova def. Tainara Lisboa via TKO (punches) — Round 3, 3:20 — HIGHLIGHTS
185 lbs.: Zachary Reese vs. Mickey Gall : Reese spammed body kicks for most of the fight, with Mickey throwing overhands as Reese left his chin exposed. Reese did a point deduction in the first round for an eye poke. The two basically just traded for the entirety of the fight, with Reese getting the better of the striking. Pretty forgettable fight overall.
Official decision: Reese def. Gall via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27)
185 lbs.: Nick Klein vs. Joseph Kropschot : Klein was doing on the feet, but every time he took Kropschot down, he got reversed and put in awful positions — and that's what ultimately ended him when Kropschot reversed him, locked Klein into an inverted triangle, and tapped him with an armbar.
Official decision: Kropschot def. Klein via submission (triangle armbar) Round 2, 1:25
115 lbs.: Talita Alencar vs. Piera Rodriguez : Alencar had Rodriguez in trouble a few times with her elite grappling, but other than that, Alencar got clobbered on the feet by "La Fiera." Rodriguez is now riding a four-fight winning streak, while Alencar's three-fight winning streak is over.
Official decision: Rodriguez def. Alencar via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
125 lbs.: Lucia Szabova vs. Tainara Lisboa : Szabova was the biggest favorite on the card, and while at points she didn't look like it, she ended up overpowering and breaking Lisboa to stop her with heavy ground-and-pound. Szabova is a great addition to the Flyweight division and one to keep an eye on.
Official decision: Lucia Szabova def. Tainara Lisboa via TKO — Round 3, 3:20
