Namo Fazil VS Kaik Brito

Kaik Brito knocked out Namo Fazil with a right hand at 0:12 of the third round in a welterweight bout at Dana White's Contender Series Season 10, Week 2 on August 18, 2026. Brito, a former two-time Oktagon MMA champion, delivered a decisive finish just seconds into the final round to claim the card's featured contest. Fazil had survived into the third round before Brito landed the finishing blow almost immediately when the round opened. The early stoppage underscored Brito's finishing power and his organizational pedigree as a welterweight contender on the Contender Series stage.

This welterweight clash serves as the marquee matchup of the night, pitting one of Europe's most decorated regional fighters against an extremely dangerous Brazilian veteran. Kaik Brito, a two-time OKTAGON MMA welterweight champion, returns to the Apex for a second shot at a UFC contract after dropping a highly competitive decision to Oban Elliott in 2023. Known for his devastating first-round knockout power, Brito faces Namo "The Grandson of Saladin" Fazil, a striking prodigy representing Kurdistan/Finland who possesses an extensive Muay Thai and Kickboxing championship pedigree. Currently sitting at 10-1 with a lengthy win streak, Fazil presents a massive technical challenge. This is a classic striker's delight with incredibly high stakes for both men.
