A big punch to the body from Miller seems to land hard, but Medeiros waves him on. He might be bluffing though as he seems like he could be hurt and Miller presses forward with a flurry.
Now he’s dropping down with a tight guillotine choke. Miller’s cranking on it and Medeiros is trying to hang tough.
Miller’s got no intention of easing up though and unfortunately for Medeiros that means he’s going to sleep! The referee realizes he’s out cold and stops the fight with 3.18mins of the first round gone.
