UFC Fight Night 279 (also known as UFC Vegas 119) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on June 20, 2026, at the Meta Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.[1][2][3][4][5]

A flyweight rematch between former RIZIN Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape and former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Kyoji Horiguchi (who is also a former RIZIN Flyweight and two-time RIZIN Bantamweight Champion, as well as former Bellator Bantamweight World Champion) is expected to serve as the event headliner.[1] The pair first met in December 2017 at Rizin World Grand Prix 2017: Final Round, where Horiguchi defeated Kape in the semi-finals via arm-triangle choke submission in the third round.[6]

Mitch Raposo and Allan Nascimento were expected to meet in a flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Malott in April.[7] However, Raposo was forced off the event due to illness, so the bout was re-scheduled for this event.[8]
