It's over! Ronda Rousey picks up the win, courtesy of an armbar. Complete domination! Carano had absolutely no answer for Rousey's transition and was forced to tap out just 17 seconds into the first round. Great sportsmanship from Rousey in the end as the two share an emotional hug.

Alright, we are done with the entrances and introductions. The crowd hasn't been this electric all day. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano have emerged from retirement to square off in an unexpected showdown.

Ronda Rousey says she has fought enough for others, but this bout is all about herself! The wait is finally over, and the atmosphere inside the arena is electric. The stage is officially set for what promises to be a stunning fight between two absolute icons of women's combat sports.

A brutal end to Round 2! Some vicious attacks from Perry on Diaz, leaving his opponent bloodied at the end of the second round. Diaz was bleeding like a faucet as he was taken to the corner by his representatives. Perry wins the People's Main Event vio TKO! Perry with a lot of appreciation for Nate Diaz, calling him the "toughest guy".

4th successive finish! Focus now firmly on Rousey vs Carano which will conclude today's main card!

The first round between Diaz and Perry has come to a close. Perry certainly had the upper hand over Diaz in the opening round, but the latter made a great fightback in this Welterweight bout. A blistering opening three minutes!

It's the first main event of the night as Nate Diaz takes on Mike Perry! Diaz hasn't fought professionally since September 2022, when he choked out Tony Ferguson in his final bout for the UFC. The 34-year-old Perry fought for the UFC until 2021, establishing a reputation for exciting bouts and troubled behavior outside the combat sports world.

Ngannou KOs Lins! The Cameroonian proves to be too strong for the Brazilian on the night. A third straight KO on the main card as Ngannou wins in his second MMA fight since parting ways with the UFC as the promotion's heavyweight champion in 2022.

Parnasse gets the win over Cross! Complete dominance from the 28-year-old from Aubervilliers. He makes it five wins in a row to take his MMA record to 23-2, sealing the victory with a spectacular first-round KO!

The second bout of the main card, involving Salahdine Parnasse and Kenneth Cross, is underway. Frenchman Parnasse (22-2) has been one of the best fighters on the KSW roster and makes his US MMA debut. Cross, on the other hand, enters this contest on a four-fight win streak.

Robelis Despaigne has just delivered a knockout blow to Junior Dos Santos! The Cuban is now 6-2 in his MMA career. He has won all of his victories via KO!

The first bout of the main card is about to start. The opener is a heavyweight clash between former UFC champion Junior dos Santos (23-10) of Brazil and former UFC fighter Robelis Despaigne (5-2) of Cuba.

This bout will be streamed in around 190 countries by Netflix. However, we have four more massive bouts to look forward to before the icons collide.

Let's take a look at tonight's main card order:

Junior dos Santos vs. Robelis Despaigne (Heavyweight) - Up Next!

Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross (Lightweight)

Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins (Heavyweight)

Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry (Welterweight - Co-Main Event)

Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano (Featherweight - Main Event)

We are minutes away from the start! While Rousey has claimed this is her final fight, Carano said she has no idea what her sporting future holds-and she prefers to keep it that way.

This fight will mark Rousey's return to an MMA ring after nearly 10 years since suffering losses to Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm. This bout could be the most-watched combat sports event of the year, and it puts the 44-year-old Carano back under the competitive spotlight she left in 2009, when she was 27.

Hello and good morning! Welcome to our live blog for the clash of the Titans as Ronda Rousey takes on Gina Carano. This fight is nearly a decade in the making, with both fighters making their return to action to headline this historic MMA card.
