THE STARS RETURN FOR UBA 9

UBA 9: The Return of Maki, Guts, and Yomo

UBA 9 signals the long-awaited return of three of the league’s most recognizable names — Maki, Guts, and Yomo. Each fighter steps back into the spotlight with renewed purpose, carrying their own storylines of redemption, evolution, and determination to reclaim momentum inside the UBA ring.

Maki: Rebuilding Through Precision

After two grueling title fights and consecutive losses, Maki returns to face Galf, a lower-ranked opponent who still presents real danger. For the first time in months, Maki isn’t fighting for a belt — he’s fighting for growth.

Known for his brawling tendencies and high-pressure exchanges, Maki has spent his time away training under TCL (The Clean League) to refine his fundamentals and discipline. Fans are eager to see how this new, cleaner version of his boxing will translate under UBA lights. If he can blend his signature aggression with newly sharpened technique, this could mark the beginning of a major resurgence.

Guts: The Berserker’s Return

Few fighters have faced the gauntlet that Guts has. From BMF showdowns to back-to-back title fights, his record reads like a who’s who of top-level opponents. At UBA 9, he finally gets a reset fight against Muhammad Ali, a respected but less punishing test — and a perfect chance to rediscover rhythm after months of chaos.

But as always with Guts, the story doesn’t come without drama. After breaking his VR headset, he’s been left waiting on a replacement, and the package still hasn’t arrived. Fans are holding their breath to see if he’ll even be fully geared in time. Still, Guts insists he’s ready to return to his “Berserker” version of himself — a more aggressive, pressure-heavy style that promises to overwhelm anyone in his way.

Yomo: The Redemption Trail

After a long absence, Yomo finally returns — and this time, he’s locked in for Saturday competition. His opponent, Boady, is one of the most respected and consistent fighters on the circuit, making this a strong test for Yomo’s comeback.

But there’s more at stake than a win. Yomo is on a mission to climb back toward a title shot against Bloob, the fighter who handed him his most recent loss. A victory here could put him right back in contention and set the stage for one of the most anticipated rematches in the division.

The Stage is Set

With Maki, Guts, and Yomo all returning on the same card, UBA 9 feels like a turning point. These aren’t debutants or rising prospects — these are veterans rewriting their stories. From Maki’s technical rebirth, to Guts’ return from chaos, to Yomo’s revenge campaign, every fight on this card carries a reason to watch.

UBA 9 isn’t just about who wins — it’s about who evolves.
