Follow Daily Mail Sport’s live blog for the latest updates and result as Jack Della Maddalena faces Islam Makhachev for welterweight title on huge night of fights.

Big win for Blanchfield

Erin Blanchfield just swept aside Tracy Cortez and it’s a win that in all likelihood sets her up for a title shot in the near future. She got the fight to the ground, which is very much her wheelhouse, and locked in the submission. An absolute terror on the ground and she proved it again.

‘With the prelims underway, the arena is starting to roar to life. Fans are dialled in early, reacting to every exchange, and that familiar fight-night buzz is spreading fast. If it’s this loud now, the main card could blow the roof off.’
