Fight By Fight Preview | UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs Onama
The action returns to UFC APEX this Saturday for the first time since the end of August with a fight card filled with emerging names and Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) grads looking to head into the final two months of 2025 on a high. The night will be capped off by a compelling clash of ascending talents in the featherweight division.
It’s been a slow burn for Steve Garcia and David Onama, but now both are stationed in the rankings and sharing the Octagon in this weekend’s intriguing featherweight main event.
Garcia is a testament to perseverance and finding where you fit, as he fought a tough slate on the regional circuit before opening his UFC run with a 1-2 mark as a lightweight. Since moving to the 145-pound ranks three years ago, the 33-year-old Albuquerque native has rattled off six straight wins, with five finishes preceding his decision win over Calvin Kattar in May.
UFC Vegas 110 predictions
Welcome back everyone to the comfy confines of the UFC APEX for another senses-shattering main event!
OK, UFC Vegas 110 might not be the most loaded card and no, Steve Garcia and David Onama probably aren’t one (or two… or three…) fight away from snatching a title shot, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do our best to stay positive as the UFC runs down the clock on its ESPN deal. Because let’s be honest, that’s what they’re doing here.
You could do a Mike Heck of a lot worse than Saturday’s main event though, which features two of the best-kept secrets of the featherweight division for anyone who hasn’t been paying attention. Garcia is one of the hottest fighters at 145 pounds and he recently scored a huge win over veteran Calvin Kattar. He couldn’t put Kattar away inside the distance, but the five-fight finish streak Garcia had before that fight is nothing to sneeze at.

UFC Fight Night predictions, fight card, odds, start time for Garcia vs. Onama
Steve Garcia and David Onama only understand violence. They audition for a chance to fight MMA's best featherweights at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Garcia (18-5) has been a breath of fresh air at 145 pounds. He has won six consecutive fights, including stoppages and a decision win over perennial contender Calvin Kattar. Finishing regional fighters doesn't reliably scale against UFC competition — for Garcia, it does. The rising contender credited his ferocious finishing power, 14 KOs in 18 wins, to his IQ and understanding of when to crank the volume.
"Some people have it and some people don't. It's about recognizing opportunities when they present themselves," Garcia told CBS Sports. "Sometimes the window is small, sometimes the window is big. You have to be ready. It has a lot to do with fight IQ. You have to have good fight IQ. Sometimes fighting smart is the IQ, sometimes finishing people and recognizing those opportunities to execute is. This fight game is about risk."
