UFC Vegas 111 winner scoffs at those who say TKO win was controversial

Fernando Quiles Jr. - November 9, 2025

UFC Vegas 111 is in the books and the main event winner isn’t pleased with some of the reception he’s gotten. Gabriel Bonfim took center stage at the UFC Apex this past Saturday. He went one-on-one with Randy Brown in the UFC Vegas 111 headliner. Bonfim caught Brown with a knee that dropped him to the canvas in the second round. Referee Marc Smith had seen enough and called the fight off, but Brown was none too pleased with the stoppage.

Chris Taylor - November 8, 2025

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 111 event, and four fighters wound up taking home performance bonuses. The fight card was headlined by a welterweight contest featuring Gabriel Bonfim taking on Randy Brown. The bout proved to be another impressive showing for Gabriel Bonfim. After unloading 19 heavy low kicks on Randy Brown in the opening round, ‘Marretinha’ proceeded to finish the fight with a huge knee at the 1:40 mark of round two. The perfectly timed strike sent Brown crashing to the canvas (see that here), but some fans and fighters were not overly impressed with the referee’s decision to immediately stop the fight. Regardless, Bonfim is definitely a fighter to watch at welterweight.

Dana White reiterates his belief that "Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight of all time”

Dylan Bowker - November 8, 2025

Dana White has clearly picked a proverbial hill to die on with his claims that Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight in mixed martial arts history. This is a sentiment that the UFC CEO and president has stated over the last few years, with a recent laying down of a challenge for anyone to outline to him who the best 170-pound fighter in the history of the sport is. This was expressed by the prolific combat sports promoter during an appearance on the Pound 4 Pound podcast, which features co-hosts Henry Cejudo and the aforementioned Usman. Dana White and Kamaru Usman had a playful moment referencing a past comment made by ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ that got under the skin of White. Usman infamously made a comment regarding his Emil Weber Meek fight that he fought at only 30 percent of his capabilities.
