Ivan Erslan defeated George Tokkos by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a light heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Costa on May 16, 2026. Erslan, a kickboxing convert, kept submission specialist Tokkos at bay on the feet across all three rounds, stuffing repeated takedown attempts and responding with clubbing counters in the pocket.

Erslan maintained his control through the third round to sweep all three judges' cards and move to 2-3 inside the Octagon.
