Julian Erosa ended his UFC career in style earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 31, 2026) at UFC Vegas 123 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the featherweight veteran pulled off a comeback knockout (punches) win over Jeong Yeong Lee.
Erosa, 37, entered the Octagon on Saturday night knowing it would be his last UFC appearance. The long-time veteran has been one of the more entertaining fighters over the past few years and always seems to put on a show win or lose. Luckily for Erosa, he was able to pull off one final upset to end his UFC retirement sendoff in memorable fashion.

Lee looked like he was going to spoil the party as the first round began. The South Korean prospect had Erosa on skates and nearly locked up a choke to finish it early. Unfortunately for Lee, Erosa was able to hang around long enough to find a way to finish the fight. It came in the form of a huge right hand from Erosa that sent Lee crumbling to the canvas. Erosa rushed in for some ground-and-pound with the referee close behind for the stoppage. It was an incredible sendoff and a finish that could earn Erosa an extra $100K in his final fight.
