UFC Halloween Highlights! Former Oktagon Double Champ Delivers Violent Debut TKO

Lucia Szabová made a commanding UFC debut on Halloween night, delivering a brutal third-round TKO victory over Tainara Lisboa at UFC Vegas 123 in Las Vegas. The Slovakian fighter, a former two-division Oktagon champion, dominated from the opening bell, using relentless takedowns, top control, and precise ground-and-pound to wear down her opponent.

Despite pre-fight expectations favoring a quick win, Szabová’s performance was anything but one-sided, with Lisboa lasting deep into the final round before a flurry of punches from top position forced the stoppage. The fight showcased Szabová’s adaptability as she transitioned from the Oktagon to the UFC, silencing any doubts about her ability to compete at the highest level.

The victory marked a strong start for the 2026 season, with Szabová now looking to build momentum in the women’s flyweight division.
