  "account": "Dana White's Contender Series 88 proved to be a success for second-time fighters, with Trent Miller among them. Miller, who faced Douglas Rodrigues, submitted the Brazilian middleweight by a Von Flue choke submission in the second round. Miller, who overcame an early attack from Rodrigues, quickly secured a takedown in the second round and applied the choke, causing Rodrigues to lose consciousness. The fight was then stopped. Miller, 30, was considered the biggest underdog on the card, having been knocked out in his previous DWCS bout in 2025 by future UFC signee Ryan Gandra. Rodrigues, 27, ended his five-fight winning streak with this loss, marking his first defeat as a professional fighter.",
  "summary": "The second Von Flue choke in Dana White's Contender Series happened Tuesday at Meta APEX.",
