His momentum is halted, however, when Miller times a kick and shoots forward, plowing Alves to the canvas in the center of the cage. Miller sits up in Alves’ half guard and works to advance while Alves tries to stand. Halfway through the round, Alves powers back to his feet, thwarting Miller’s attempted back-take in the process. Miller catches Alves coming in and hits the Brazilian with a hard left kick to the ribs, then a straight left hand. Alves gets in one kick of his own before Miller shoots and floors him with yet another takedown. Straight to half guard goes Miller, now with 90 seconds on the clock. Alves rolls to his knees, then onto his back again when Miller tries to take the back. Miller stands and grabs a guillotine, then drops to guard, but he quickly flips back to top position when Alves pops his head free. The clock is ticking down with Miller in half guard, now north-south position as Alves kneels. Miller tries the guillotine again and winds up on his back with Alves dropping punches for the final 20 seconds.
