Miller jumped into a guillotine choke to become the all-time wins leader in UFC history.

In the second round, Miller and Cerrone threw kicks at the same time, with Cerrone's landing to Miller's face. Miller, who made his debut at UFC 89 in October 2008, looked sharp from the early moments of the fight. LAS VEGAS -- On Saturday night, Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone met on the UFC 276 prelims in a welterweight clash that would determine the UFC's all-time wins leader.

Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone announced his retirement after his submission loss to Jim Miller at UFC 276.

Now tied for second place in wins (23), Cerrone has his name toward the top of numerous UFC statistical lists. His last seven fights resulted in six losses and a no contest. The hot streak earned him a long-awaited UFC title fight against Rafael dos Anjos, though he lost by first-round TKO. I don’t love it anymore, Joe. It’s hard for me to get up (for fights), and this is the longest camp I’ve had in a long time. I’m not complaining to anybody, but I don’t love it anymore. I’ve got to know when.

Two title bouts will be decided Saturday night, including Israel Adesanya's defense of his middleweight belt against Jared Cannonier.

Strickland has been inching closer and closer to a title shot, but Pereira—who already owns two wins against Adesanya from their kickboxing matchups—would make for a better story line if Adesanya retains his title. In the main event, Israel Adesanya defends his middleweight title against Jared Cannonier. Eleven years into his career, this marks Cannonier’s first UFC title fight. Cerrone was built to deliver Fight of the Night performances. 24—the most in UFC history—for Miller, and it was immediately followed by Cerrone announcing his retirement. Jalin Turner looked outstanding in his victory against Brad Riddell, who entered the bout ranked No. 14 in the lightweight division. The eye poke occurred just over three minutes into the second round, and Munhoz (19–7, 2 NC) was unable to continue.

A pair of title fights top the marquee for UFC's return to Las Vegas for International Fight Week.

LAS VEGAS -- In what was expected to be a moment of truth in Sean O'Malley's potential ascension from bright prospect to bantamweight title contender ended ...

The native of Montana, who fights out of Phoenix, Arizona, stopped all three of his opponents immediately after Vera yet admitted he was only willing to face a top-10 ranked opponent if UFC paid him commensurate to his perceived value. The Brazilian's offense consisted almost exclusively of calf kicks, many of which the 27-year-old O'Malley was able to check. The result was a largely anticlimactic affair for a matchup which featured plenty of tension between the two during fight week press events.

After a back-and-forth fight, Sean O'Malley and Pedro Munhoz had their fight ruled a no contest after an accidental eye poke.

The fight was gearing up to be a technical bout. O'Malley, a Helena native, accidentally poked his opponent Pedro Munhoz in the eye in the second round of their fight at UFC 276 in Las Vegas on Saturday. The fight was ruled a no contest after Munhoz was unable to see out of his poked eye. After a much-anticipated top-15 fight was on the books, Sean O'Malley's fight at UFC 276 ended in disappointing fashion.

Volkanovski made it a clean sweep over the former champion in the co-main event from Las Vegas.

Holloway began to fight more desperate in Round 4 and traded strikes on largely even terms as the action slowed. Volkanovski began to openly taunt Holloway in the opening round and briefly buckled him with a big right cross. But he turned in a largely lifeless performance as Volkanovski's speed and accuracy began to piece the Hawaiian fan favorite up from the start.

Alexander Volkanovski defeated Max Holloway for the third time Saturday night, defending his featherweight title by unanimous decision with a dominant ...

Cerrone beat Miller in their first meeting in 2014, but Cerrone is now 4-10 since 2016 with a seven-fight winless streak. Bryan Barbarena also stopped Robbie Lawler on strikes late in the second round of a brutal fight in which both veterans absorbed tremendous punishment. Before the title fights, Alex Pereira demolished Sean Strickland with strikes midway through the first round of a victory that burnished the Brazilian kickboxing champion's status as an immediate title contender at middleweight. Holloway's answers dwindled as his cuts grew larger, and Volkanovski patiently racked up scoring shots to leave no doubt in the decision. Cannonier, getting his first UFC title shot at 38 years old, struggled to find a consistent striking range, and he didn't show enough desperation to figure it out. Volkanovski executed a sharp boxing game plan against one of the UFC's best punchers, bloodying Holloway's face early on and steadily increasing the punishment into the final minutes.

But McGregor also has not won a lightweight fight since 2016 and is 1-3 at the weight in his UFC career. A win for either man is massive and another accomplishment in a truly great career. While Pereira is an elite enough talent to warrant being signed on his own, his two kickboxing wins over Adesanya, one by brutal knockout, have been the underlying story every time he has fought in the Octagon. What Pereira needed to be "deserving" of a shot at Adesanya in the Octagon was an elite win. A reputation for safe gameplans and fights that lack in entertainment value has begun to creep into conversations about Adesanya's place in the sport. Subscribe to Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell for the best analysis and in-depth news, including instant analysis of UFC 276 at the conclusion of the PPV event. While Alexander Volkanovski put on an incredible show of dominance in retaining his featherweight championship against Max Holloway in their trilogy fight, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya left the fans somewhat disappointed after a safe and uninspired victory over Jared Cannonier.

The 38-year-old Miller's landmark victory broke his tie with Cerrone and Andrei Arlovski for the UFC's career wins mark. Cerrone beat Miller in their first meeting in 2014, but Cerrone is now 4-10 since 2016 with a seven-fight winless streak. Bryan Barberena also stopped Robbie Lawler on strikes late in the second round of a brutal fight in which both veterans absorbed tremendous punishment. Before the title fights, Alex Pereira demolished Sean Strickland with strikes midway through the first round of a victory that burnished the Brazilian kickboxing champion's status as an immediate title contender at middleweight. "He thinks he's got what it takes," Volkanovski said of Cejudo. "People want to challenge me, but they need to be big fights. There was a lot of ups and downs in there, but it was good to finally put an end to it and silence a lot of people. Cannonier, getting his first UFC title shot at 38 years old, struggled to find a consistent striking range, and he didn't show enough desperation to figure it out. "It's a bit of a journey, this rivalry," Volkanovski said. Volkanovski executed a sharp boxing game plan against one of the UFC's best punchers, bloodying Holloway's face early on and steadily increasing the punishment into the final minutes. It makes me improve my discipline." He makes me raise the bar. A lot of people that needed shutting up."

But Cannonier did nothing to push Adesanya, a former champion kickboxer, into anything resembling a firefight. Adesanya, meanwhile, was content with safely ...

"I'm not going to risk my brain, risk my health," Adesanya said. Cannonier attempted clinch work and takedowns in the third, fourth and fifth rounds with little to no success. Adesanya kept Cannonier at bay, and Cannonier had little to no luck getting inside Adesanya's length for strikes or takedowns. Adesanya's lone pro MMA loss was up in weight, for the UFC light heavyweight title against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 in March 2021. The Nigerian-born New Zealand resident was coming off a unanimous decision win over rival Robert Whittaker at UFC 271 in February. Coming in, ESPN had Adesanya ranked No. 3 in the world on its pound-for-pound list.

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight's UFC 276 event, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier.

The bout proved to be a coming out party for Alex Volkanovski. The Australian champion put on arguably his finest performance to date, peppering ‘Blessed’ with jabs and kicks throughout the course of the twenty-five minute affair. ‘Bam Bam’ wound up winning the contest by second round TKO. Tonight’s middleweight title fight main event did not result in the barn burner most fans were hoping to witness.

Max Holloway has lapped the rest of the field at featherweight, but Alexander Volkanovski has lapped Holloway.
