Ante Delija defeated Marcin Tybura via first-round knockout (punches) at 2:03 of Round 1 on September 6, 2025, at UFC Fight Night 258. This highly anticipated heavyweight bout took place at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, serves as Delija’s official UFC debut.

• Aggressive Start: Ante Delija came out blistering, immediately marching Tybura down with a heavy combination that forced him to cover up.

• The Clinch: Marcin Tybura briefly slowed the momentum by pressing Delija against the cage and shooting for a takedown, but Delija’s defense held firm.
  
• The Finish: Once they broke into open space, Delija unleashed a ferocious boxing sequence, landing a sharp left uppercut that severely rocked Tybura and sent him to the canvas. 
• Ground and Pound: Delija immediately followed up with ruthless ground strikes on the mat until referee Marc Goddard stepped in to stop the fight.
