Jones controlled the action from the opening bell, utilizing his reach advantage and diverse striking arsenal to keep Miocic at bay.</p> <p>The fight-ending sequence came late in the third round when Jones landed a vicious spinning back kick to Miocic's midsection. As Miocic crumpled from the body shot, Jones pounced with follow-up punches to force the stoppage.</p> <p>With the win, Jones cements his status as one of the most dominant champions in UFC history across two weight classes. For Miocic, this likely marks the end of an illustrious career as the most accomplished heavyweight in UFC history.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler</h3> <p>In a rematch of their 2021 title fight, Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler put on another thrilling battle that went the full five rounds. Oliveira controlled much of the action with his grappling, repeatedly taking Chandler's back and threatening submissions.</p> <p>Chandler showed incredible heart and toughness to survive Oliveira's attacks, even mounting a late comeback in the fifth round. However, it wasn't enough to overcome Oliveira's dominance in the earlier rounds. The unanimous decision victory puts Oliveira right back in the lightweight title picture.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Bo Nickal vs. Paul Craig</h3> <p>Highly touted prospect Bo Nickal passed his toughest test to date with a clear-cut decision win over veteran Paul Craig. While Nickal wasn't able to secure the finish, he showed improved striking and composure in going the distance for the first time in his career.</p> <p>Craig had some moments of success on the feet, but was unable to drag Nickal into his world on the ground. The win likely propels Nickal into the middleweight rankings and sets him up for bigger fights going forward.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Viviane Araujo vs. Karine Silva</h3> <p>In a closely contested flyweight bout, Viviane Araujo edged out Karine Silva on the scorecards. Araujo's superior striking and takedown defense proved to be the difference in a back-and-forth affair.

Ruffy's crisp striking and evasive movement frustrated Llontop throughout the fight. While Llontop had his moments, particularly in the third round, it wasn't enough to overcome Ruffy's early lead on the scorecards.</p> <p>The preliminary card also delivered several memorable moments, including Jim Miller extending his UFC wins record with a quick submission of Damon Jackson, and Oban Elliott scoring a highlight reel KO of Bassil Hafez.
