UFC 313 LIVE: Alex Pereira vs Magomed Ankalaev latest fight updates and results

Lucindo holds Lemos against the fence in the early grappling exchanges, before the strawweights hit the canvas in the next transition.

Lemos ends up in Lucindo’s guard. Lemos appears hesitant to work, while Lucindo tries to create space for submissions from her back.

Some boos from the crowd after a relatively uneventful stretch of the round.

Slashing elbow from Lemos! That seems to have cut Lucindo under her right eye.

An all-Brazilian affair now, as Amanda Lemos and Iasmin Lucindo meet in the women’s strawweight division.

Lucindo, 23, is the youngest female fighter on the UFC roster, and she’s riding a four-fight win streak.

Meanwhile, 37-year-old Lemos is a former title challenger, aiming to get back to winning ways.

Could this be a passing of the torch, though?

Robbie Lawler is announced as entering this year’s UFC Hall of Fame!

The former welterweight champion, sat in the crowd, is emotional as he watches a video package about his career.

Congratulations to one of the most violent fighters in UFC history – a man who is already in the Hall of Fame for his storied war with Rory MacDonald.

Ruffy’s stance and movements resemble those of Conor McGregor – before the Irishman ventured into boxing and changed his style somewhat.

Anyhow, Ruffy stands orthodox, unlike McGregor. Green likes to switch stances.

Ruffy presses forward early, seemingly trying to elicit some strikes out of Green, who looks strangely hesitant.

Oh! A clean cross has Green falling back against the fence! Ruffy is not rushing, though…

OH, MY, WORD!!!! Ruffy waits, wait, waits… then lands a wheel kick, cracking the side of Green’s head and knocking him out cold!

Green faceplants. Some moments later, he’s awake, but his face is bloodied. Ruffy celebrates with some flips! KO of the year contender.

Mauricio Ruffy def. King Green via first-round KO (wheel kick, 2:07)

Okay then, we kick off the main card with King Green vs Mauricio Ruffy at lightweight.

American Green (who was Bobby until he changed his name to King last year) is a veteran, a sharp boxer – but he faces a tough challenge here.

Ruffy is part of The Fighting Nerds, a Brazilian gym that has been on fire over the last year. The 28-year-old is seeking a seventh straight win.

Meanwhile, 38-year-old Green – in his 51st pro fight – is aiming to bounce back from a submission loss to Paddy Pimblett.

The main card is finally upon us! Here’s how it looks, working backwards from the main event:

Alex Pereira (C) vs Magomed Ankalaev (light-heavyweight title)

Justin Gaethje vs Rafael Fiziev 2 (lightweight)

Jalin Turner vs Ignacio Bahamondes (lightweight)

Amanda Lemos vs Iasmin Lucindo (women’s strawweight)

The right decision. Tsuruya could’ve taken the second round, perhaps, but Van was always winning that.

Tsuruya is having more success with his grappling as this fight progresses, but Van is staying calm and ensuring the Japanese cannot advance position. No real attempts from Tsuruya to land damage when he’s holding Van, either.

Tsuruya does hold Van against the fence for a while, but eventually Van gets free. Some straight punches are getting through for Van, so his southpaw opponent shoots yet again!

Once more he’s denied, but again he has Van against the fence. More good defence from Van, who separates and lands a stabbing front kick before denying another takedown.

Stinging jab by Van. Good head movement by Tsuruya to evade a head kick. Clean cross by Van. Tsuruya is quick to back up whenever Van moves forward.

Finally Tsuruya gets Van down, in the final minute of the round, but Van is soon up! Another successful takedown for the Japanese fighter, but Van stands and ends the round with an elbow.
