UFC Vegas 74 results: Biggest winners, loser from ‘Kara-France vs. Albazi’ last night
UFC Vegas 74 results: It’s time to see who were the biggest winners (and loser) from last night’s "Kara-France vs. Albazi" event in Las Vegas. UFC Vegas 74 went down last night, with Amir Albazi winning the bantamweight title and Alex Caceres winning his second straight after defeating Daniel Pineda via unanimous decision. Elliott Miller earned his fourteenth post-fight bonus award, leading to another bigger payday, and Elliott showed that he has no reason to doubt his skills or ponder retirement. Meanwhile, Elian Frey suffered her third straight defeat after losing to Elise Reed, and her latest loss could prompt UFC matchmakers to send her packing once and for all.

UFC Vegas 74 went down last night (Sat., June 3, 2023) inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a bantamweight scrap that resulted in a split-decision win for Amir Albazi over Kai Kara-France that had many spectators wondering just what the judges were thinking (recap). Also, Alex Caceres won his second straight after defeating Daniel Pineda via unanimous decision.
At 39 years of age, Miller is still performing at a high level as one of the most grizzled veterans on the UFC roster. And he proved that again after he knocked out Octagon newcomer, Jesse Butler, in just 23 seconds to spoil his UFC debut (highlights). Miller has now won four of his last five fights, which could inch him closer back to the Top 15. To make the pot sweeter, Miller earned his fourteenth post-fight bonus award, leading to another bigger payday. The longtime veteran showed once again that he has no reason to doubt his skills or ponder retirement.
We could have gone several ways here, but I am giving Elliott the nod because the longtime flyweight contender needed a bright spot after a rough couple of weeks. Not only did Elliott open up about his nasty divorce from ex-wife and UFC fighter, Gina Mazany, but he had to disappoint a lot of people that flew to “Sin City” to watch him fight after he was informed the UFC would not be comping any tickets to his family for the event. All that said, picking up his second straight win by defeating Victor Altamirano was a welcomed site for Elliott, who could be eying a spot in the Top 10 now that he improved to 4-1 in his last five fights.
Coming into the event, Frey made our list for the fighter that needed a win the most after dropping two straight. But things got worse for Frey after she suffered her third straight defeat after losing to Elise Reed via unanimous decision. All told, Frey is 2-5 inside the Octagon, and her latest loss could prompt UFC matchmakers to send her packing once and for all. She’s not ranked, and her two wins inside the Octagon weren’t exactly memorable, so in reality there isn’t much justification for UFC to keep her around if we’re being honest.
