Ethyn Ewing

Ewing closed his most recent appearance with a late body-shot knockout, stopping Estevam in the third round after the fight had already stretched beyond his usual quick-finish pattern. The result showed both his power and his ability to keep that threat alive into the final frame.

Key moments

• Won by third-round body-shot knockout.
• Finished the fight at 1:44 of round three.
• Proved he could carry finishing danger deeper than round one.

Carrillo pushed Ewing into another longer fight, but Ewing still found the stoppage in the third round.

Key moments

• Stopped Carrillo with punches in round three.
• Finished at 2:14 of the final frame.
• Made it back-to-back wins before his 2025 breakout.

Ewing stopped Anthony Parham late in the second round at LXF 12, but the more useful detail is how he described doing it: he said Parham was sitting down on power shots and trying to drag him into a brawl, while Ewing stayed on the game plan and trusted the sharper striking work he had been building in camp. He also said he broke his hand on the first right hand he landed, then had to switch to elbows to close the fight.

Key moments

• Ewing won by TKO at 3:46 of round two.
• In his post-fight interview, he said Parham wanted a hard scrap and that he had to stay disciplined rather than get lured into it.
• Ewing said the first right hand he landed broke his hand and opened Parham up early.
• He credited follow-up elbows for helping finish the fight after the hand injury.

Ewing's second pro defeat came when Roberto Hernandez caught him in a heel hook less than two minutes into their Cage Warriors bout.

Key moments

• Hernandez finished the fight by heel hook at 1:44 of round one.
• The bout took place at featherweight on the Cage Warriors 133 prelims.
• He responded by winning his next ten fights before the 2026 UFC 329 setback.
