Perez v Johnson: Round One
Somer gentle jabs is how these two flyweights start the first round...
However, after a minute in the Octagon, Johnson stumbles and Perez lands a bombardment of punches! You can see in Johnson's eyes that he's gone.
Perez is all over Johnson, and Johnson is doing everything he can to stay up.
Perez lands a nasty left hook, and that's it! The ref calls it!
Johnson is so out of it that he doesn't even realise that the ref has called it and tries to continue the fight. 3 mins 16 secs sees a win through TKO.
Perez wins in one round.

Hokit v Freeman: Round One
Straight out of the gate, Hokit sought to take the stand up fight to some greco wrestling and succeeded.
Hokit rained punches down on Freeman and tried to get under his chin.
While Hokit dominated over him, Freeman looked weak as he protected his head and neck in a defensive move.
Finally, Freeman lunged at Hokit but was caught off balance and took another bombardment of jabs including a deadly uppercut.
Staggering away and looking like he didn't even know where he was, the ref called the fight as soon as the bell for round one rang.
Another dramatic fight that was over in the final seconds of round one.
Hokit wins in one round.
Josh Hokit v Denzel Freeman about to start
The heavyweight fight between Josh Hokit from California and Denzel Freeman from Atlanta is moments away.
Who will prevail?
Paramount+ UFC era starts with a TKO

A TKO (technical knock out) is always dramatic and Miller's dominance over Fugitt was no different.
Make sure you tune in to Paramount+ now and catch this mountain of drama.
Fugitt v Miller: Round One
After the announcer accidentally announced each fighter as the other, they touched gloves and began.
Some tentative jabs but Miller came out swinging and landed some powerful punches to the jaw.
Fugitt was looking to take a shot and take it out of a stand up fight but Miller had something to say about that.
The last 30 seconds were chaotic as Miller landed a shot to take him down which Fugitt could not recover from!
It looked like Fugitt may survive the last 30 seconds but with literally one second left, the ref was forced to call it!
Miller wins in one round.
Ty Miller v Adam Fugitt
The first fight is nearly here.
Ty Miller from Arizona will take on Adam Fugitt from Oregon. Two Americans going head to head but only one can prevail.
