UFC 303 LIVE: Pereira vs Prochazka fight updates and results tonight

Again Chiasson gets into a firefight, but she’s eating the heavier shots. She does pull off a trip, however, and she’s in Bueno Silva’s guard now.

Big elbow from Chiasson cuts open Bueno Silva’s forehead – that’s a nasty gash. Bueno Silva goes for an armbar, but Chiasson stays calm.

Bueno Silva eventually gives up. Chiasson stands and kicks the legs of Bueno Silva, until she decides to let the Brazilian stand.

As soon as Bueno Silva does, the referee stops the action so her cut can be inspected…

And a doctor advises the ref to stop the fight! Chiasson gets the TKO! Blood is leaking down Bueno Silva’s face.

Macy Chiasson def. Mayra Bueno Silva via second-round TKO (doctor stoppage, 1:58)

Bueno Silva presses forward and lands a decent hook and an elbow at close range. Chiasson tries to fire back with a left hook and misses.

Good knees from Bueno Silva at close range. She and Chiasson clinch along the fence, but Chiasson eventually gets free.

Nice wheel kick by Bueno Silva! She buries body shots into Chiasson’s ribs at close range now! She’s punching with real intention.

Good variety of striking offence by Bueno Silva so far. Now Chiasson lands knees in the clinch.

There have been a few exchanges in which both women have really let their hands go, and Bueno Silva definitely carries the greater power.

Next up, it’s former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva against Macy Chiasson, in a women’s bantamweight bout.

Ian Machado Garry def. Michael “Venom” Page via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

“Nothing surprised me, I knew how good he was,” says Garry. “For me, it was patience; patience was the key to victory for me today.

“He did a great, great gameplan today. Round of applause for MVP. It was a great fight.”

MVP likely took round two based on significant strikes, even though he spent a spell of the round defending in a grappling exchange and defending a submission.

Both men are known for their striking, with MVP being the more flamboyant of the two, and he’s frozen Garry like no one else has.

Garry gets another body lock, but he gets his momentum wrong and falls back, with MVP in mount! Garry reacts quickly to get closed guard, however.

Garry lands a few elbows from the bottom. Eventually MVP stands and allows Garry back to his feet, greeting him with a body kick.

Beautiful jab by MVP, but he misses with a right hand and finds himself in another body lock. Garry gets his hooks in again and tries to take down the Londoner.

No luck, so Garry opts to hang on to MVP’s back and seek a rear naked choke. No luck with that either, and the crowd boos. The fighters reach the buzzer in that position.

This could be a very close one on the scorecards; Garry definitely took round one, MVP should have round two, and round three was razor close…

Hard right cross by MVP! He’s so good when at darting in and out of range, as he does here!

More stance switches from MVP. A jab and a grazing overhand right by the Londoner. He really loaded up on that overhand – good head movement by Garry to evade the worst of it, to be fair.

Leg kick by MVP, who leans back to avoid a head kick. MVP with another wild swing, though, missing a hook and allowing Garry to get a body lock.

Boos from the crowd, as Garry pushes MVP to the fence. After some time, the referee warns Garry that he might separate the pair due to a lack of activity.

MVP is able to slip free, and Garry falls to the mat but grabs a leg lock. It looks precarious for MVP for a moment… but he slips out again!

Another good flurry by MVP, as the pair get back to standing and striking. MVP just misses with a flying knee. Another big overhand from the Londoner.

Both men stand orthodox. Garry kicks to the body. Lots of feints by MVP, who switches stances as he presses forward.

He’s back orthodox, and he lands a decent right hand. Garry catches a high kick, though, drives MVP to the fence, and takes him down.

MVP almost makes it back to his feet, but he’s dragged back down. Garry takes MVP’s back and gets his hooks in. Now he’s got a body triangle.

Garry is working on the rear naked choke… He looks to have it locked in, but somehow MVP survives for quite some time – and eventually strips Garry’s grip!!

MVP makes it to the buzzer.

Here we go. Ring walks upon us.

What a fight, on paper, to kick off the main card.

Next up, the main card! It begins with a welterweight bout with genuine ramifications at the top of the division.

Controversial Irish star Ian Machado Garry faces London veteran Michael “Venom” Page.

Will this be the fight of the night, as some have predicted? Or will the two technical strikers cancel each other out? We’ll soon find out.

Earlier this week, Garry accused “MVP” of trying to bribe the Irishman’s coaches for information ahead of this fight…

The final prelim fight of the night is up next: Joe Pyfer vs Marc-Andre Barriault at middleweight.

Pyfer stalks Barriault early, but neither man is throwing much. A low kick by Pyfer. Now he sticks out a jab.

An overhand right just about gets through for Pyfer, and he adds some hooks to the body… Barriault is covering up! He must be hurt!

OH! Another overhand by Pyfer, and Barriault drops to his knees! One more right hand, and Barriault faceplants! It’s over!

Joe Pyfer def. Marc-Andre Barriault via first-round KO (punches, 1:25)
