UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Duncan Official Scorecards
Allen's patience paid off when he secured the rear-naked choke
Mark
So this was a short night for the judges. Eight fights ended in the first two rounds?
Mimi
That's right. The card moved fast. Allen and Duncan went the distance, and Herbert-Camilo went three rounds, but everything else was over quickly.
Luke
Do we know if that's typical for this venue or this promotion, or is this just how the matchups fell?
Mimi
The source doesn't say. It's just reporting what happened that night.
Mark
The main event went to Round 5 though. That's unusual if most fights are ending early.
Mimi
It was. Allen and Duncan grinded through four complete rounds before Allen got the rear-naked choke. That's a different kind of fight than the quick finishes.
Luke
The scorecards for Herbert-Camilo all say 29-28. Does that mean it was close, or does that just mean Herbert won every round narrowly?
Mimi
A 29-28 scorecard means one fighter won all three rounds, but each round was close enough that the judge didn't score a 10-8. It could have been tight.
Mark
And Gatto-Kareckaite was a majority draw. What does that tell us?
Mimi
One judge thought Gatto won 29-27. The other two couldn't pick a winner. So they split the difference.
Luke
That's the only fight where the outcome was genuinely uncertain. Everything else had a clear winner.
Mimi
Yes. The card was defined by finishes, not decisions.
El Pulso
- Eight of twelve fights ended before judges were needed, giving the night an almost relentless momentum of early finishes.
- The main event resisted the card's pace entirely — Allen and Duncan ground through four complete rounds before a rear-naked choke at 2:46 of the fifth finally broke the deadlock.
- The co-main event offered its own quiet tension, Herbert edging Camilo by a single round on all three scorecards, the kind of close fight where the margin between winning and losing is almost invisible.
- The preliminary card was defined by sudden violence — knockouts measured in seconds, submissions in the opening minutes, and one fighter unable to continue at the end of Round 1.
- One fight refused to be decided at all: Gatto and Kareckaite fought to a majority draw, the only result of the night that left the question genuinely unanswered.

Brendan Allen's patience through four grueling rounds before submitting Christian Leroy Duncan in the fifth speaks to the quiet persistence that often outlasts raw force. The evening was a study in contrasts: a card of swift, decisive endings punctuated by one rare draw that refused resolution, and one main event that insisted on being earned.
The Meta APEX in Las Vegas hosted UFC Fight Night on October 10, 2026, and the card moved with unusual urgency — eight of twelve fights ending by stoppage in the first or second round, leaving judges with little to deliberate and fans with a succession of decisive moments.
The main event stood apart from everything around it. Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan fought all the way into the fifth round, a rarity on a night otherwise defined by early exits. Allen's patience through four complete rounds was rewarded at 2:46 of the final frame, when he secured a rear-naked choke and forced Duncan's submission — a testament to Duncan's durability and Allen's willingness to work through the long grappling exchanges before finding his opening.
Jai Herbert's co-main event victory over Matheus Camilo followed a quieter arc. All three judges scored it 29-28 in Herbert's favor — a close, consistent performance that edged out his opponent without either man delivering a finishing blow.
The undercard was a catalog of swift conclusions. Andre Fili needed 22 seconds of Round 2 to knock out Kai Kamaka III. Francisco Prado finished Ismael Bonfim by TKO at 4:23 of Round 1. Niko Price stopped Leon Shahbazyan in under two minutes. Brendson Ribeiro submitted Felipe Franco with a guillotine at 1:49. Loopy Godinez won a clean unanimous decision over Ketlen Souza, each round going clearly her way on all three scorecards.
The one result that defied the night's pattern was Melissa Gatto and Ernesta Kareckaite, who fought to a majority draw — scored 29-27, 28-28, and 28-28. One judge saw a winner; the other two could not separate them. On a card where almost everything was settled by force, it was the single moment of genuine ambiguity.
