Jordan Leavitt returned to the Octagon for the first time since 2023 and needed just 99 seconds to defeat former Titan FC champion Kurt Holobaugh at UFC Vegas 107 in Las Vegas. Leavitt won by technical submission, forcing referee intervention when an anaconda choke rendered Holobaugh unconscious 1 minute 39 seconds into Round 1.

The lightweight preliminary bout ended before either athlete landed a significant strike. After an early suplex, Leavitt quickly threaded his arms for the choke, sealing the victory inside the UFC Apex facility.

The result moves the Syndicate MMA fighter’s record to 11-3, while Holobaugh slips to 21-9 with one no-contest. Leavitt entered the cage as a roughly –258 favorite against the +210 underdog, and the dominant finish has already prompted calls for a US$50,000 performance bonus.
