Ramos tries some hammer fists from the bottom, but he's struggling to trouble Makhachev, who will win this fight if he maintains his dominant position for the final 45 seconds.

Makhachev def. Ramos by unanimous decision (29-27, 30-26, 30-26)

A close first round saw neither fighter open up too much, but Makhachev impressed in the second and third to pull clear on points.

That makes it seven wins from eight UFC fights for the Russian.

Makhachev calls out the winner of Edson Barboza versus Paul Felder, a tantalising match-up that takes place next.

Whoever wins, they'll face a tough test in Makhachev, should that be the fight that gets made next.

Barboza versus Felder. If you're a fan of striking - and inventive fighting, at that - then do not blink during this next contest.

The co-main event is imminent.

These two clashed back in 2015, with Barboza emerging the victor by unanimous decision.

You know Felder would love to even the score, and he's a much improved fighter since the pair's last bout.

Let's go, this should be fun...

Barboza using kicks to the lead leg and body of Felder early on.

Felder pushes forward and looks to land with his hands.

Felder holds Barboza against the cage and lands a heavy knee to the body as they separate.

[7 September 2019 20:51 · Alex Pattle]

Felder is bleeding from his hairline and signals to referee Herb Dean that the cut came from a headbutt.

Dean pauses the action to check on Felder, and we're back underway.

[7 September 2019 20:54 · Alex Pattle]

Barboza likely took that round, having dealt more damage than 'The Irish Dragon'.

Felder's coach Duke Roufus is calling for his fighter to be busier in the next round.
