Tommy Gantt stayed unbeaten with a second-round TKO win over Artur Miniev in their lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 276 at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Gantt put Miniev away at 2:51 of Round 2, adding another finish to his perfect start in the UFC. He entered the matchup with a 12-0 MMA record and a 1-0 mark inside the Octagon, while Miniev came in at 7-1 and 0-1 in the promotion.
The matchup came together on short notice, with Miniev stepping in on less than one week's notice to replace injured Trey Ogden.
A former North Carolina State University Division-I All-American wrestler, Gantt fought three amateur and 11 professional bouts in one year before earning a Dana White's Contender Series offer in 2025. He secured his UFC contract there by submitting Adam Livingston in the first round.
Miniev previously competed on the regional scene, including for Fury FC.
