← UFC archiveRosas gets the finish. The result still needs context.
September 26 results, UFC’s dated Barcelos update, and the questions a win does not settle for the next matchup.
Raul Rosas Jr. beat Raoni Barcelos by fifth-round TKO at Meta APEX on September 26, 2026. UFC lists the finish as a slam at 1:38. MMA Fighting also reported that the stoppage followed a takedown, after a difficult stretch for Rosas. The result deserves context before it becomes a reason to back him next time.
Barcelos needed medical attention after the finish. In its September 27 statement, UFC said he had been taken to a trauma center and was alert, responsive and moving his limbs while under observation. That is a dated update, not a diagnosis or confirmation of recovery. This recap does not speculate about the cause.
The rest of the main card
Ailin Perez beat Norma Dumont by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring it 29–28. Luis Hernandez submitted Sedriques Dumas in the first round. Ilimbek Akylbek won the bantamweight TUF final by disqualification after an illegal knee from Mehemmedeli Osmanli. Tina Black stopped Melissa Amaya at 3:19 of round two to win the strawweight final.
Those results are cross-checked against UFC and MMA Fighting. Their published accounts differ on Hernandez’s exact finish time, so it is omitted here.
The final main-card grouping also differs from the early preview reflected on this site’s event page: Perez–Dumont and Hernandez–Dumas were on the main card; Hiestand–Nakamura and Vieira–Bryczek were prelims. This recap uses UFC’s final grouping. The earlier event notes remain an archive of the preview.
What to carry into the next matchup
The useful question about Rosas is how much the next opponent can reproduce the problems reported before the finish. A win alone does not answer that. Likewise, Akylbek’s DQ victory gives far less evidence about a full fight than a completed three-round contest would.
For a small bankroll, those gaps matter. Before turning either result into confidence, separate what the fight established from what remains unknown. Then assess the next opponent and the available price. This is a results-based editorial, not personal tape study or an official betting recommendation.
