UFC Kansas City results: Biggest winners, loser from ‘Garry vs. Prates’ last night

UFC Kansas City went down last night (Sat., April 26, 2025) inside T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, MO., featuring a Welterweight fight that saw Ian Machado Garry defeat Carlos Prates via unanimous decision after five rounds of action (full recap here). In the co-main event, Zhang Mingyang sent Anthony Smith off into retirement a bloody mess, stopping him in the very first round (see it again here).

Biggest Winner: Ian Garry

There were some tense moments in the fifth and final round for Garry, who was seemingly on the ropes, but “The Future” pulled through and survived Carlos Prates’ late surge to pull off the unanimous decision win. Other than the final round, Garry dominated and controlled the fight rather handily, and ended the Brazilian’s five-year, 11-fight unbeaten streak. He also revealed after the fight that his victory secured his backup role for the upcoming title fight between division king, Belal Muhammad, and Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315.

Runner (s) Up: Randy Brown and Zhang Mingyang

“Rude Boy” delivered one of the best knockout (KO) wins of the year last night, violently ending Nicolas Dalby’s evening with a vicious one-hitter quitter. Indeed, Brown and Dalby went toe-to-toe in the second round of their Welterweight bout, which ultimately favored “Rude Boy,” who slept Dalby with a nasty left hook in walk-off fashion. With the win, Brown gets back into the win column after losing to Bryan Battle via split-decision in his previous bout. He also goes home $50,000 richer. As for Mingyang, he secures his twelfth straight win — fourth inside the Octagon — by absolutely destroying former Light Heavyweight contender, Anthony Smith, in bloody fashion in the very first round. The win should put him in the Top 15 since “Lionheart” was holding on to the final spot, and he will no longer be occupying it since he is retiring.

Biggest Losers: Cameron Saaiman and Polyana Viana

We are going to go with simple wins and losses for this section this week, which makes Saaiman and Viana two of the biggest losers. Saaiman suffered a knockout loss at the hands of Malcolm Wellmaker, giving him his second straight defeat in that manner, three straight overall. A for Viana, she is on the same boat because as a result of her submission loss to Jaqueline Amorim, she has now been finished in three straight fights, which makes her a top potential target to get her walking papers sooner, rather than later.
