LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie is on scene and reporting from Friday's UFC on ESPN 73 (ESPN2, ESPN+) official weigh-ins, and you can watch a live stream of the event beginning at noon ET (9 a.m. PT). The weigh-ins take place at UFC Apex, the same venue that hosts the final UFC event of the year.

Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he’s showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons. While constantly betting long shots, his return on investment is 30.15 percent since 2022.

UFC on ESPN 73 took place Saturday, and MMA Junkie provided live round-by-round coverage and official results. UFC on ESPN 73 went down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas with the entire card airing on ESPN2 and streaming on ESPN+.

The final UFC card of 2025 will unfortunately be one bout lighter after one fighter withdrew just hours before the event kicks off.

Ilia Topuria thinks the UFC 324 booking of Paddy Pimblett vs. Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title is well deserved.

UFC on ESPN 73 closed out the year with a few spectacular finishes. The event started and ended with first-round stoppages, as Jamey-Lyn Horth swarmed Tereza Bleda with punches on the early prelims, and Manel Kape floored Brandon Royval with a huge right hand.

Ilia Topuria explains why he’s stepping away from competition, citing personal issues and uncertainty around his UFC return timeline.
