Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan set to headline UFC Vegas 123

The UFC has announced Renato Moicano versus Tom Nolan as the UFC Vegas 123 main event on October 31, 2026, with the lightweight bout scheduled for Meta APEX in Las Vegas and available on Paramount+.

The UFC has announced that Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan will headline UFC Vegas 123 on October 31, 2026, at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event is also listed as UFC Fight Night 292: Moicano vs. Nolan. The UFC’s official event page lists the prelims for 5:00 p.m. EDT and the main card for 8:00 p.m. EDT, with both portions of the card available on Paramount+.

The matchup will take place in the lightweight division, according to Sherdog’s event listing. Moicano is ranked No. 11 at lightweight, while Nolan is ranked No. 14 in the UFC rankings.

Moicano enters the contest with a professional record of 21-7-1. His most recent completed bout was a submission victory over Chris Duncan on April 4, 2026, according to his UFC athlete profile.

Nolan has an 11-1-0 professional record. The UFC’s athlete listing records his latest completed fight as a unanimous-decision win over Farès Ziam on June 6, 2026.

Sherdog reported that Nolan was brought in after Brian Ortega withdrew from a planned UFC 331 meeting with Moicano, with the revised pairing subsequently set to headline the October 31 event. The UFC event listing confirms the date, location and broadcast platform for the booking.

The Las Vegas card will therefore give two ranked lightweights a chance to strengthen their positions in the division, with Moicano seeking to build on his submission win and Nolan looking to extend his professional record beyond his current 11 victories.
