UFC 300 LIVE: Start time, fight card, scorecards and updates as Alex Pereira takes on Jamahal Hill for the light-heavyweight title in the main event on historic card including Max Holloway vs Justin Gaethjie

Incredible debut for Harrison. Her judo throws were a different level and Holm barely landed a shot. Harrison dominated the first round and Holm just about survived ground and pound but once she’s had her back taken in the second it was hardly any time at all before the choke was locked in and she was tapping. Really impressive performance from the newcomer who looks massive at the weight and definitely championship quality.

But will they stop eye pokes? That’s the big question on everyone’s lips but a glove redesign announced on Friday is an interesting change from the UFC and the gold ones are a nice touch.

‘The greatest judoka in US history’ steps into the octagon for the first time tonight. The former Olympic gold medal winner and PFL champ signed with the big show and can test herself against a woman who has been there and done it in Holly Holm.

Harrison says she wants to put in such a performance that it forces her new bosses to give her a title shot. Holm won’t fear anyone and the former champ would love to deflate the Harrison hype balloon. It should be a cracker.

Lopes will waltz into the top 10 after that obliteration of Yusuff and it could be hard to persuade some of those above him to take the fight, such is his momentum at the moment.

Lopes is incredible! What a performance from this special young fighter. He landed a few low kicks to start and then cracked Yusuff with an upper cut in close before swarming him and flattening him out before forcing the ref to step in in the very first round, what a way to start the pre-lims!

Well those early pre-lims certainly whetted the appetite and we move swiftly on to the second section of the evening for the next couple of hours with fights of a calibre usually seen on a main card. First up we have Sodiq Yusuff taking on Diego Lopes at featherweight. Yusuff is a powerhouse from Nigeria and Lopes, the taller man, bounced back from a defeat by Movsar Evloev with two wins in his last two.

Moicano is always amazing on the mic and delivers again: ‘Today I want the bonus but I know they won’t give it to me – I love America, the first amendment, the constitution! I’m going to start a podcast called Show Me the Money, Joe Rogan you will be my first guest on Monday! My name is Money Moicano and I’m the best in the world, I can’t afford to lose, I have a family to feed and I’m not stopping until I have that belt!’

Turner stole the first round having been taken down for most of it before knocking the Brazilian down late and walking off as if it was over… it wasn’t. Moicano secured another takedown in the second and eventually found mount, landed thunderous ground and pound before the referee stepped in. Bravo Moicano.

Hill never lost the belt, relinquishing it due to injury and he feels it belongs to him, but Pereira has taken the UFC by storm with his freakish power and striking, the odds have him as narrow favourite but most fellow fighters are tipping the underdog…

Turner is a giant at lightweight and a real puzzle to solve. Moicano has won four of his last five and started to create a real buzz around him with hilarious post-fight speeches. Making waves is what this game is all about so with the eyes of the world on them tonight, one of these two can make a major leap forward at 155lbs.

Andrade is a monster and while Rodriguez may have been more technically sound, it is the blood and thunder of the victor with her huge power output that eventually wins the day. She’s a nightmare to face and takes a split decision after it goes to the judges.

Dana White will be coughing up 300k bonuses tonight so that’s a pretty wild incentive for big performances, an early contender in Miller’s bloodbath against Green for sure.

These two want to stake a claim for the No 1 spot in the strawweight division and put themselves in line to challenge the winner of tonight’s co-main event. Both won their last fight and Andrade is out to reclaim the prize she used to hold. This is one of three women’s fights at UFC 300 and a great showcase with the crowd already swelling in T-Mobile Arena.

Bobby Green was always favourite for this one and there’s no fairytale for Miller here. Green dances in and out for three rounds, using his speed and youth advantage to piece his American compatriot apart and almost finish him in the third, only for Miller, covered in blood and cut to shreds, to dig in and see the end.

This is a story to warm the heart of even the most weathered fight fan. Jim Miller fought at UFC 100, UFC 200 and all these years later is still doing his thing at the big show for the tricentenary.

Miller faces Bobby Green tonight in what should be a banger.

He holds the record for the most fights in UFC history (44), the second most finishes (18) and could well be in the Hall of Fame when all is said and done.

The Brazilian fans scattered in the crowd have plenty to chew on tonight, with Figueiredo, Charles Oliveira and Alex Pereira in action. One out of three for them so far.

Brazil stand up! We have a major new player in the bantamweight division as Figgy gets the job done in style in the second round.

The first round was a tight one with Gabrandt trying to detonate a big fight-ending shot. Figueiredo found a brief late takedown, which would prove to be the blueprint for success, securing one in the second before moving to mount, turning his man and locking in a rear-naked choke.

Figueiredo, the former flyweight champion moves up to bantamweight to take on the lightening fast hands of Gabrandt, who is known for his electric pace and fragile chin.

He’s regained some of the confidence he lost in being KO’d TJ Dillashaw twice, Pedro Munhoz and Kai Kara France.

In Figgy, he has a world class match-up tonight and real test of his skills. It will be fascinating to see how he fares up a weight class. We’re about to find out.
