The lone newcomer on Saturday’s UFC 305 card in Perth, Australia was Stewart Nicoll, an undefeated flyweight paired up with Jesus Aguilar for his debut.
Aguilar, a 2022 Contender Series alum, was 2-1 under the UFC banner, but had missed weight for the fight.
That didn’t seem to hold him back any, and in the end, this one was over with quick.
Jesus Aguilar started the fight off with a combination putting Nicoll against the cage. Nicoll used a kimura to sweep and put Aguilar on his back. Aguilar was calm and as he scrambled up Nicoll left his neck out, and Aguilar jumped on it. The guillotine was in for a while and it eventually put Nicoll to sleep! The ref was all over it, and Aguilar helped lift Nicoll’s legs to get the blood flowing again and bring him around.
An excellent win marred only by the weight miss.
“Too much sleep,” Aguilar said in regards to coming in heavy, speaking with Daniel Cormier. “Sorry, sorry. The time is very different,” he added, referring to the time difference in Perth.
While it was a big win at UFC 305 for Jesus Aguilar, it doesn’t look like he wants to get back in action any time soon. Instead, he suggested he needed time off until March of 2025.
Official Result: Jesus Aguilar def. Stewart Nicoll by technical submission (guillotine choke), Round 1, 2:35
