UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs. Duncan (also known as UFC Fight Night 272 and UFC Vegas 115) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship which took place on April 4, 2026, at the Meta Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.[2]
Background
[edit]A lightweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Renato Moicano and Chris Duncan headlined the event.[2]
A lightweight bout between Tofiq Musayev and Samuel Sanches was scheduled for the event.[3] Sanches withdrew for undisclosed reasons, leading to the cancellation of the matchup. Musayev was then rebooked one week earlier at UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer against Ignacio Bahamondes.[4]
A middleweight bout between Edmen Shahbazyan and Park Jun-yong was scheduled for the event.[5] However, Park had to withdraw due to an injury and the pairing was scrapped.[6][7]
A welterweight bout between Charles Radtke and promotional newcomer José Henrique Souza was scheduled for the event.[8] However, for undisclosed reasons, Souza withdrew and Radtke was re-booked for UFC 327 one week later with a new opponent.[9]
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:[10]
- Undefeated prospect Rafael Estevam weighed in at 136.5 pounds, half a pound over the bantamweight non-title fight limit.
- Darrius Flowers weighed in at 156.5 pounds, half a pound over the lightweight non-title fight limit.
Estevam and Flowers' bouts proceeded at catchweight. Both fighters were fined 20 percent of their individual purses which went to their opponents Ethyn Ewing and Lando Vannata respectively.[10]
