Jim Miller stands alone in UFC history, and he got there violently.
The lightweight veteran dispatched Jesse Butler with a brutal KO in the first round of Saturday's UFC Vegas 74 to become the first mixed martial artist to reach 25 UFC wins in his career. He was already the all-time leader in wins with the promotion.
The 39-year-old got Butler toward the edge of the Octagon then unloaded a hard left to knock him out cold:

“I appreciate the heck out of Jesse, he came in here on just over two days’ notice,” Miller said in his postfight interview.
