Amir Albazi captured a controversial split decision in his main event debut last night (Sat., June 3, 2023) at UFC Vegas 74 live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, defeating former UFC title challenger Kai Kara-France over the course of five rounds.

In addition to the flyweight headliner, UFC Vegas 74 produced a plethora of memorable finishes. Even for a card lacking serious star power the action delivered from the opening fight. Check out some of the highlights below:

  • Jim Miller scored the quickest stoppage of his UFC career with a 23-second knockout over Octagon newcomer Jesse Butler (watch HERE)
  • Streaking women’s flyweight prospect Karine Silva put a brutal stop to Ketlen Souza by snapping her knee in the first round
  • Andrei Arlovski suffered the first knockout loss in a long time courtesy of a second-round TKO finish by heavyweight bruiser Don’Tale Mayes (highlights HERE)
  • UFC newcomer and Tajikistan native, Muhammad Naimov, made his country proud with an upset knockout finish over lightweight Jamie Mullarkey
  • Da’Mon Blackshear put the bantamweight division on notice with a relatively dominant TKO stoppage over submission specialist Luan Lacerda
  • Featherweight veterans Alex Caceres and Daniel Pineda delivered an epic co-main event showdown with “Bruce Leeroy” escaping with a hard-earned unanimous decision
