Caio Borralho Grapples His Way Past Yousri Belgaroui in a Clean Sweep at UFC 334
Caio Borralho took the kickboxer’s space away and never gave it back. The Brazilian middleweight shut out former GLORY kickboxing title contender Yousri Belgaroui at UFC 334 on Saturday night, winning a unanimous decision with three identical 30-27 scorecards in the final non-title fight of the main card at Madison Square Garden.
Borralho set the pattern in the first round. After Belgaroui landed an early body kick, Borralho charged in behind punches, dragged him down against the fence and jumped on his back, locking in a body triangle and attacking a neck crank. Belgaroui survived the crank and a later guillotine, but he spent the round defending from underneath.
The second round followed the same script. Belgaroui found moments with knees up the middle, but Borralho kept closing the distance, dragging him to the mat and pinning him in side control against the fence, landing elbows before the horn. In the third, Belgaroui landed his best shots of the fight, including a hard knee to the head, but Borralho answered with a right hand and sealed the round, and the fight, with one more takedown in the final minute.
Borralho’s five takedowns were a career best, and the grappling-heavy performance keeps him stationed in the top five at middleweight at 19-2. Afterward, he said he was done calling out former champion Dricus Du Plessis and instead lobbied for a rematch with Nassourdine Imavov, who handed him a decision loss in September 2025. He has now won back-to-back fights since that defeat.
Belgaroui falls to 11-4 and takes his first loss inside the Octagon, snapping a six-fight winning streak.

Terrance McKinney Flattens Jim Miller in Under Two Minutes at UFC 334
Terrance McKinney does not get paid by the hour. The lightweight finisher blew through Jim Miller at UFC 334 on Saturday night, knocking the veteran out with punches at 1:53 of the first round on the prelims at Madison Square Garden.
The two traded punches from the opening exchange, McKinney pressing forward and Miller answering with a hard counter left. McKinney’s shots started getting through in combination, and one of them opened a cut over Miller’s eye. Moments later, a huge left hand landed clean and Miller went down. McKinney swarmed with follow-up punches and the referee waved it off before the fight was two minutes old.
Miller, 43, is the most experienced fighter in UFC history, the promotion’s all-time leader in appearances and one of its most durable veterans. This was his first knockout loss since 2018. He falls to 39-20 overall.
McKinney, who improves to 19-9, bounced back from a TKO loss to King Green, but his night came with an asterisk he owned himself. He missed weight on Friday at 160.2 pounds, more than four pounds over the lightweight limit, and Miller still agreed to take the fight. “It feels good but I want to apologize for missing weight,” McKinney said afterward, adding that he plans to move up to welterweight.
