This weekend is packed with action for fight fans, as UFC veterans step into the cage and the squared circle across the globe. While the UFC headlines Saturday's Fight Night 276 from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas—featuring a featherweight showdown between Arnold Allen and Melquizael Costa—many familiar faces are competing in other promotions, from bareknuckle MMA to regional circuits.

Let's start with a quick recap of how last week's vets performed. At ACA 203, Alexey Kunchenko suffered a split decision loss to Tagir Magomedov, while Ali AlQaisi dropped a unanimous decision to Sharif Kushaev. Klidson Abreu was submitted by Zumso Zuraev in the same event. Over at ZFN 4, Seung Guk Choi edged out a split decision win against Dong Jo Joe, but Josh Quinlan fell to Jun Set Choi via unanimous decision. Luis Henrique da Silva was stopped by Muhammad Said at UAE Warriors 71, and Laureano Staropoli bounced back with a knockout win over Wahed Nazhand at FNC 30. In a rematch of sorts, Francisco Rivera Jr. was submitted by Jesse Strader at UNF 33, while Gianni Vazquez scored a TKO win over Kamron Ortikov at Combate Global.

Now, looking ahead to this weekend's matchups, here are the key veterans to watch:

Gianni Vazquez returns to action on May 15 at DCS 108 in a bareknuckle MMA bout against Eduardo Peralta. Vazquez is riding momentum from his recent TKO win and last fought in MMA in November 2025, where he submitted Jacob Ritchie. His last UFC appearance was a TKO loss to Shayilan Nuerdanbieke in November 2022.

Daniellee Mistily (likely a typo for a female veteran) steps into the OKTAGON 88 cage on May 16. She last fought in December 2025, losing a split decision to Sara Luzar Smajic at FNC 26, and her last UFC bout was a unanimous decision loss to Juliana Miller in May 2025.

Other notable veterans with recent wins include Laureano Staropoli, who knocked out Wahed Nazhand, and Seung Guk Choi, who earned a hard-fought split decision. For those keeping score, Jesse Strader's submission win over Francisco Rivera Jr. was a highlight of last week's regional scene.
