Tim Means added another big highlight-reel-worthy knockout to his record at UFC Vegas 79.

Both fighters came out swinging from the get-go, but it was Means who scored the early upper hand after landing a perfectly timed left knee while pressed against the fence. The blow sent Fialho crashing to the canvas. Means pounced and delivered some big strikes on the ground, but Fialho was able to recover and work his way back up to finish the round.

While Means appeared to be in control for a majority of the opening round, things were a bit more even in the second with both men finding their opponents’ chin. However, it was clear that Fialho was beginning to slow down after eating a plethora of body shots from Means in the first 10 minutes.

Coming out for the third, Fialho had little left in the tank and Means took advantage, landing a big 1-2 that backed Fialho against the fence. Once he had his opponent backed up, Means teed off, landing a flurry that put Fialho on the canvas, forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage.

Official Results: Tim Means def. Andre Fialho via TKO (strikes) at 1:15 of Round 3.

It’s Tim Means’ seventh career finish in the UFC welterweight division and his 25th career finish overall. ‘Dirty Bird’ moved to 33-15-1 with 15 of those victories now coming under the UFC banner.

UFC welterweight Kevin Holland is known to verbally challenge his opponents during his fights, and Tim Means wasn’t an exception.

Holland earned a second-straight impressive win at welterweight by submitting Means in the UFC Austin co-headliner. He and Means shared a mutual respect for one another during the buildup, but that didn’t stop the two of them from trying to engage in mental warfare during the fight.

During his UFC Austin post-fight press conference, Holland shared what was said between him and Means as they went to battle in the Octagon.

“I hit him with a good shot and I was like, ‘Damn, you’re freakin’ tough.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, I can do this all night.’ So then I started thinking about the Captain America movie where he was like, ‘I can do this all night!’” Holland revealed.

“So it’s just little things, you know? I went to stomp on the thigh. Usually, I try to hit the knee. And I told him I would avoid the knee, and he said he would do the same. So overall, just good stuff. I got up one time and was like, ‘Pretty good, huh?’ And he was like, ‘Not bad, kid.”

Holland has made the move from middleweight to welterweight with relative ease, as evidenced by recent wins over Means and Alex Oliveira. He made the move to 170lbs after his planned middleweight rematch with Kyle Daukaus was canceled after he suffered an injury.

Holland made a name for himself following five-straight wins in 2020. He would go on to lose back-to-back decisions to Derek Brunson and Marvin Vettori in a pair of main events.

Holland has quickly become one of the most entertaining up-and-coming fighters in the UFC and he’ll look to move closer to potential title contention in his next appearance.
