In the third fight of the main card, Carlos Prates hammered Geoff Neal with a spinning back elbow to the head for a KO in the final second of the first round. Neal was barely responsive on the floor as Prates began celebrating. It was the ninth spinning back elbow KO in UFC history, and Prates' UFC-best fifth KO since the start of 2024.

UFC Vegas 109 saw one of the most shocking knockouts in recent memory when Elijah Smith defeated Toshiomi Kazama with a brutal powerbomb-style slam. The fight was part of the prelims, and Kazama had tried to lock in a triangle choke. Smith lifted him high and slammed him to the canvas, knocking him unconscious instantly.
