Miles Johns and Miguel Baeza left the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Tuesday with Ultimate Fighting Championship contracts in hand.
Johns manhandled CES MMA veteran Richie Santiago to a unanimous decision in their three-round encounter at 135 pounds, as the reigning Legacy Fighting Alliance bantamweight champion kept his undefeated record intact on Episode 2, Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series. The unbeaten Johns (8-0) swept the cards with 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26 scores.
Santiago (7-2) lacked the physical tools he needed to contend with the Fortis MMA brute.
