The former featherweight champion delivered on his pre-fight promises, taking the fight to Oliveira and putting him out in less than half-a-round. He cut Oliveira early, got the better of their one and only grappling entanglement, and then put him to sleep with a two-punch combination where the second shot wasn’t even needed.
This was a monstrous performance by “El Matador,” who remained undefeated and collected his third straight stoppage win over a former champion and certified legend. Now 17-0 for his career, there is no telling what kind of records this ascending legend could set going forward.
Alexandre Pantoja defeats Kai Kara-France by submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:55 of Round 3
Alexandre Pantoja turned in another dominant performance to successfully defend his flyweight title, submitting Kai Kara-France in the third round.

The champion took Kara-France to the canvas 15 seconds into the opening round, keeping him there for the duration, advancing to dominant positions and threatening with an arm-triangle choke at one point. While Kara-France did a better job keeping things upright in the second, Pantoja had the greater success in the striking exchanges before getting back to the grappling early in the third.
Soon after securing the back, the Brazilian wrapped up the choke, forcing the City Kickboxing man to tap. That’s now four consecutive successful title defenses for Pantoja, who has won eight straight overall and 12 of 14 since connecting with American Top Team.
Joshua Van defeats Brandon Royval by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Brandon Royval and Joshua Van fought like they were trying to send a message to the men that would follow them into the Octagon, as the flyweight contenders went toe-to-toe, blow-for-blow, round-for-round, delighting the crowd at T-Mobile Arena and those watching at home.
Van showed he belonged in the upper echelon of the 125-pound weight class from the outset, getting the better of things in the opening frame to show Royval that he had a serious fight on his hands. The former title challenger found his rhythm and his footing in second, landing at an insane clip, while Van continued to stand his ground.

Likely even heading into the third, the two men stepped it up even more, staying on the gas throughout, with Van dropping Royval in the waning moments of the fight, swinging things in his favor.
That’s two wins this month for the native of Myanmar, and a victory that catapults him into the championship picture, with a date against the winner of Saturday’s co-main event likely next. It’s been a meteoric rise for the 23-year-old Houston resident, and he’s only going to get better.
Beneil Dariush defeats Renato Moicano by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Originally scheduled to compete at UFC 311 in January, Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano finally shared the Octagon on Saturday, getting into the hard-fought battle everyone expected from the lightweight veterans.

Beneil Dariush Post-Fight Interview | UFC 317

After running level for much of the first round, Moicano dropped Dariush in the late stages of the first, shifting the frame in his favor, only for the tenured Top 10 fixture to rally back and draw level in the second. With the fight hanging in the balance in the third, it turned into a case of “who wants it more,” with Dariush having more left in the tank.
When the tens and nines were added up, all three judges saw the fight in favor of Dariush, who picked up his first win since October 2022, solidifying his place in the 155-pound rankings in the process. This was a much-needed return to the win column that should set up another quality assignment next time out for the California-based veteran.
Payton Talbott defeats Felipe Lima by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Bantamweights Payton Talbott and Felipe Lima kicked off the UFC 317 in a competitive clash that offered a little bit of everything.

Payton Talbott Post-Fight Interview | UFC 317

Lima appeared to get the better of the exchanges in the opening round, having success in the striking while running level with the Dana White’s Contender Series alum in the grappling interactions. In the second, Talbott seemed to claw his way back into the fight, controlling the action in both phases to draw level heading into the third, where Talbott was the more physical in the striking exchanges, opening up down the stretch when it mattered most.
The judges were called upon to determine the victor, and when the scorecards were tallied, it was Talbott that came out ahead. This was a thoroughly entertaining scrap between two talented bantamweights, and a very impressive levelling up for the highly regarded Reno native.
