Result Summary

Katlyn Cerminara def. Mackenzie Stiller TKO (Punches) · R1 4:46

Katlyn Cerminara stopped Mackenzie Stiller by TKO at 4:46 of the opening round in a women's flyweight contest at UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott in Edmonton on October 17, 2026. Stiller was the aggressor from the outset, pressing forward and mixing in spinning attacks, but Cerminara answered with patient counter-punching and stifled a takedown attempt early in the round. Stiller landed a head kick midway through that Cerminara absorbed without breaking stride, continuing to work behind her jab and counters. The finish came when a Cerminara shot visibly hurt Stiller, who struggled to defend a follow-up flurry of punches, and the referee stepped in to stop the contest. The stoppage marked Cerminara's first TKO win in a decade and handed Stiller her first career loss in what was her UFC debut.
