2pm - Gilbert Burns scored a tough unanimous decision win over Stephen Thompson in the co-main event. A tricky fight to pick, Burns just did enough to edge it on the scorecards, but was booed after the decision was read out. 

1:30pm - TAI TUIVASA BEATS GREG HARDY. 

Western Sydney's Tai Tuivasa just smashed Greg Hardy in 1:07 after walking to the Octagon to the Spice Girls. He then celebrated with a shoey. Epic.

1pm - Irene Aldana just  murked  Yana Kunitskaya in the first round. Incredible boxing display, and a nice GnP finish. 

12:45pm - We're into the pay per view portion of the card, with Sean O'Malley scoring a third-round TKO win over debutant Kris Moutinho. O'Malley dominated the fight, but it was anything but comfortable as Moutinho walking forward and taking punishment for the entire 15 minutes.  


11:58am - Max Griffin beats Carlos Condit via unanimous decision. 

"I used to look up to him, I still do," Griffin said. 

"I had to turn off my fandom. I hurt him in the first, he's a legend." 

11:25am - WHAT A FIGHT between Michel Pereira and Niko Price. It had fight of the night written all over it, and didn't disappoint. We had flips, strikes, eye-pokes, low-blows and all sorts of other weirdness as Pereira scored a unanimous decision win with three scores of 29-28. 

10:47am - Ilia Topuria just knocked out Ryan Hall in the first round. It was weird. Hall was doing his best forward-roll, spinning stuff looking for a submission, but got caught on the ground after an ill-advised spinning kick. 

Topuria spotted his opening and knocked Hall out with brutal ground and pound. 


10:25am - OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH HELLLLLLLLL. We've had the first knockout of the night in the opening bout of the prelims, with South Africa's Dricus du Plessis starching Trevin Giles in the second round. 

Check it out here. 


10am - In the last fight on the early prelims, Jessica Eye fought through one of the nastiest cuts we've seen in a while, but lost a decision to Jennifer Maia. 

The gruesome cut opened right in the middle of eye's forehead near the end of the second round. It opened up immediately and began gushing blood.

Zhalgas Zhumagulov got the day started with a first round submission win over Jerome Rivera, before Brad Tavares scored a split decision win over Omari Akhmedov. 

It's Tavares' 14th win, but there's no way it was a split. Tavares clearly won rounds two and three. Either way, he got the nod.
