Junior dos Santos will go up against Robelis Despaigne in the Heavyweight category. We are minutes away from the event kicking-off!

The Intuit Dome in Los Angeles looks half-empty as we see the visuals on Netflix. Fans are yet to flock to the event, most probably we will see when Ronda Rousey goes up against Gina Carano in the Main Card.

The event opens with heavyweight clash between former UFC champion Junior dos Santos (23-10) of Brazil and former UFC fighter Robelis Despaigne (5-2) of Cuba. However, it's the Cuban who comes out trumps, with a knockout punch as he wins this bout against the Brazilian, who looks dazed.

Featherweight clash up next with Frenchman Salahdine Parnasse goes up against Kenny Cross.

Another first-round knockout! Frenchman Parnasse knocks-off Cross with the American floored and the former takes in the applause from the crowd. Salahdine Parnasse wins by TKO! This also ends Cross' four-fight win streak.

It's the big one from the tonight's event - Francis Ngannou goes up against Philipe Lins. This should be fun. "I never lost the UFC title but I didn't lose the PFL title either," Cameroonian was quoted speaking to the BBC.

Wow! Third consecutive knock-out of the evening! The Cameroonian knocks out with an upper-cut against Lins to win this Heavyweight bout at the Induit Dome, California.

Ngannou wins in his second MMA fight since parting ways with the UFC as the promotion's heavyweight champion in 2022.

Nate Diaz will be up against Mike Perry in the welterweight fight up next. Rousey vs Carano will be the main event.

Nate Diaz, who hails from Stockton, has the crowd on his side against Perry, who has been jeered by the fans inside the Dome.

Seems like both the fighters have tired as the Round 1 went on. Diaz has the crowd on his side as they chant his name with Perry delivering some kicks as well as slow punches to the face.

Diaz first grabs an arm, and then goes for a leg lock. There’s a scramble, and Perry does well to stand. All action already!

Diaz is covered in blood and Perry looks to have won this bout. Diaz’s face was bathed in blood. In a striking exchange, Diaz was dropped to the back, as Perry poured in the punches and elbows. The deep cuts were too much for Diaz as Perry wins via TKO!

Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano is up next, and the arena is absolutely electric. The wait is over, the tension is at its peak, and both legends are just moments away from making their way into the spotlight. The crowd knows what’s coming, and it’s finally time.

Let's go! Here are the two fighters for tonight's main event. What an entrance by Rousey and Carano. This is going to be one to watch! Don't take your eyes off this.

Ended in seconds! What was that? The fight has ended in seconds as Rousey puts in the armbar on Carano and the former Mandalorian star taps and it's the Hall of Famer who walks away with the main event.

Both the fighters have hugs and smiles as the exchange respect in the ring. This has been billed as one of the main event but unfortunately, the fight lasted seconds and Rousey proves once again she is the 'legend' of the ring.

“I was hoping to come out as unscathed as possible, because I didn’t really wanna hurt her.

“Luckily it was just beautiful martial arts, I think that’s what that was. It’s an art.

“My husband and kids are watching, I didn’t want to put them through any more.”

“Gina is the person who brought me into MMA, she’s the only person who could’ve brought me back. She’s my f***ing hero, man. You changed my world, and we changed the world. I will never be able to pay you back enough.

“Everybody here, everybody at home watching, you are what gives this value. You are giving the fighters our power back, thanks so much for caring about us. We’ll fight for you.”

“I wanted that to last longer. I felt like I was so ready, I felt so good, I’ve never felt that good.

“But I haven’t been here for 17 years, so I wanted to hit her.

“I’ll probably feel that [disappointment] later. Right now, getting in the cage was a victory, getting here after 17 years was a victory.

“I feel great, I just feel like I wanted to fight and I didn’t get that.

“But I have so much love and respect for her. This is a victory in my life. I woke up at 3am every morning thinking about her, I took 100lb off my body, which is gonna give me a longer life.

“There’s so many good things to think about here. It’s just the fight didn’t go my way.”

That's the end of our coverage!
