"On Friday, promotion officials confirmed a previous report by Club De Las MMA that #6-ranked Waldo Cortes-Acosta (14-2) will face the #10-ranked Ante Delija (26-6) at a UFC Fight Night event on November 1, 2025. The bout is expected to serve as the card's five-round main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Delija has just one fight"
"Yet the former PFL champ has long been coveted by the promotion, with the UFC having booked him for a fight with Ciryl Gane in 2020, only for the Croatian to be unable to get out of his contract with the PFL. Ante would go on to win the PFL's 2022 tournament, and is 7-1 in his last eight fights."
