It was a scintillating performance from the octagon newcomer, who overwhelmed a far more experience and established opponent in Alves (22-12 MMA, 14-9 UFC) with what looked like a relatively easy second-round finish. After such a slick showing, Millender (15-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) knew what was coming his way during his post-fight media rounds, including being asked what’s next for him in the welterweight division.
Millender had a name ready, and even better than that, a reason for it. “Curtious” is a wrestling fan, which is why he wants to avenge ex-WWE star Phil “CM Punk” Brooks (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and take out Mickey Gall (4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
“I would like to beat up Mickey Gall,” Millender told MMAjunkie post-fight. “I’m a huge WWE fan, big CM Punk fan, so I’d love to beat up Mickey Gall for that.”
UFC Fight Night 126 took place at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. Millender’s victory over Alves aired on the FS1-televised portion of the card following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
