Jailton Almeida scored his eighth victory inside the Octagon at UFC 311, delivering a dominant performance against heavyweight standout Serghei Spivac.

Spivac managed to turn his body, once again top position on Almeida which forced the Brazilian to scramble, working his way back up. Once on their feet, Almeida delivered a devastating combination punctuated by a nasty right hand that had Spivac reeling.
With Spivac flattened out on the mat, Almeida unleashed a flurry of strikes that forced the referee to step in and call for the stoppage with less than 10 seconds to go in the opening round.
