Easily secures late-notice win
Johns defeated Cody Gibson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a nice, easy victory for Johns in a fight he accepted just a couple weeks ago. Miles did just enough on the feet to get his wrestling game going. He only landed 2-of-8 takedown attempts, but that was enough to secure 6:29 worth of control time, and unlike several other fighters in recent weeks, Johns stayed busy from top position. The soon-to-be 30-year-old Kansas native has struggled against better competition, but his 5-2 (1NC) mark in his first eight UFC bouts is a strong one.

Pulls upset of Dan Argueta
Johns defeated Dan Argueta via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at ESPN Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Full marks to Johns, who entered as a +140 underdog. Knowing full well he was going up an opponent in Argueta who likes to lean on his wrestling game, Miles stuffed 4-of-6 takedown attempts and matched Dan's two successful tries with two of his own. On the feet, Johns landed the harder, more damaging blows throughout the course of the fight. This one was close for about six or seven minutes before Miles began to pull away. The 29-year-old Kansas native has quietly won four of five dating back to October 2020.
