Tommy McMillen

McMillen turned this into a pace fight and Montes eventually broke. He pressed forward from the first bell at a breakneck rate, banking body shots and head strikes that compounded over two-plus rounds, then hurt Montes late in the third and raised the output until the referee stepped in at 3:29.

McMillen's UFC debut in Las Vegas was loud from the opening exchange and ended with a first-round stoppage of Manolo Zecchini. He had to survive real counters on the way in, but once the fight settled into pocket exchanges his pressure and body work carried the round.

Key moments

• Won his UFC debut by first-round TKO at 3:57.
• The fight turned into heavy exchanges early rather than a slow-feeling debut.
• A body knee and follow-up punches finished Zecchini before the round ended.
