Jim Miller VS Jared Gordon

Jim Miller submitted Jared Gordon with a guillotine choke at 3:29 of Round 1 in their lightweight bout at UFC 328 in Newark on May 9, 2026. Miller opened with sustained forward pressure and threatened with body kicks; when Gordon caught one of those kicks and shot for a takedown, Miller immediately transitioned into a tight guillotine choke. Gordon briefly fought the hold before tapping as the choke cinched inescapably tight. The finish extended Miller's reputation as one of the UFC's most durable submission threats, adding another first-round stoppage to a career that has spanned nearly two decades in the promotion.

Jim Miller fights at home in New Jersey where he holds UFC records for lightweight appearances and wins, against a rebuilding Jared Gordon working his way back from a TKO loss to Rafa Garcia. Miller (38-19) carries 13 UFC submission wins and genuine finishing ability deep into his career; Gordon (21-8) holds a BJJ black belt and enough right-hand power to change the fight standing. Veterans on different trajectories, both with the tools to end it early.
