"Round 1 - After a leg kick, Mgoyan shoots a takedown and immediately is rolled through on by McMillan. They return to the feet and we see it repeated, but this time McMillan stuffs and grabs a front head lock. He works for some chokes, but they move back to the feet again. This time on the feet, Mgoyan lands a right hand that seems to stun McMillan. They get frantic and Mgoyan lands a spinning back elbow too. He pours it on looking for a finish."
"Round 3 - They both come out throwing, knowing they need the round. Both land in the pocket and Mgoyan catches a kick. He tries to turn that into a takedown, but winds up with his back against the cage eating a knee. Mgoyan lands a few times to the body. McMillan starts to come on with his own combinations and the jab is landing. Mgoyan is bloodied up and shoots a takedown. He's stuffed again and gets a couple knees for his trouble."
Dana White's Contender Series returned for Week 4 featuring five fights available on ESPN+. In the McMillan vs Mgoyan bout, Mgoyan scored a dominant first round with takedown attempts, a spinning back elbow, and significant offense that nearly finished McMillan. McMillan survived a mounted guillotine and rebounded in Round 2, stuffing takedowns, using a front head lock, and finding his right hand and a knee. In Round 3 both fighters pushed the pace; Mgoyan landed body shots and attempted takedowns while McMillan rallied with combinations, a strong jab, and late damage but lacked time to finish.
