Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano LIVE: Start time, full card, fight updates and results as Ngannou and Diaz star

Announced during the UFC’s’ broadcast just now…

Conor McGregor to fight Max Holloway as Irishman ends five-year absence from UFC:

Ngannou joins Lins in the cage!

The “Predator” looks in great shape. More of a beard than we’ve seen on him before, too.

For what that’s worth…

Next up is a clash between former UFC stars Francis Ngannou and Philipe Lins!

Ngannou, with his generational punching power, became UFC heavyweight champion before winning gold in the PFL.

Lins never reached those heights in the UFC but was PFL champion at one point.

Ngannou has also boxed, of course, losing a controversial decision to Tyson Fury after dropping him, then suffering a brutal KO by Anthony Joshua.

4:18 into round one is the time of the stoppage!

Oh, Cross goes for a body kick at once, but it’s caught. Parnasse goes for a single-leg takedown, pushing Cross to the mat and throwing a few punches.

He can’t quite land clean, Cross stands, and they’re grappling against the fence – with Parnasse seeking a takedown. Cross reverses the position and is now holding Parnasse against the fence… but now they break.

Good jabs from Parnasse on his fellow southpaw. Now a big left overhand attempt! He misses, but Cross is swinging big himself, looking a tad desperate…

Oh! Parnasse gets Cross down and is so quick to take the back… He has a body triangle and flattens Cross out on his front…

Heavy punches from Parnasse, and the ref is taking a look… Cross does well to break the triangle and scramble, but OH! He folds from a body shot! It’s all over…

Cross just ran up the cage wall and hit a backflip as the camera panned away!! That’s a risky move, a few minutes before you’re going to fight!

We’re about to see Salahdine Parnasse vs Kenneth Cross at lightweight.

France’s Parnasse is an exciting talent, 28 years old with a 22-2 record.

Meanwhile, American Cross is 31 years old with a 17-4 record.

7 KOs and 7 subs for Parnasse; 6 KOs and 7 subs for Cross.

Despaigne: 6-2 in MMA, with 6 first-round KOs…

He calls out Francis Ngannou!

Not long before the finish, JDS actually appeared to half-drop Despaigne again with a low kick, but Despaigne was hurting the Brazilian with almost every combination.

And an accurate trio of punches left JDS slumped against the fence, with blood around his mouth.
