UFC 304 live results: Early prelims underway

The UFC is back across the pond for another highly-anticipated pay-per-view: UFC 304.

The United Kingdom is where Saturday’s fight night will go down — and there will be championships up for grabs. The event is headlined by a rematch years in the making between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad as Edwards puts his welterweight title on the line. The co-main event sees Tom Aspinall defending the interim heavyweight championship in his home country against Curtis Blaydes. In total, there will be 14 bouts that should equal an exciting night for what will likely be a raucous English crowd.

Follow USA TODAY Sports here for all the results and top highlights from UFC 304:

Sam Patterson vs. Kiefer Crosbie

Another quick finish, this time by submission.

Sam Patterson landed quality strikes on Kiefer Crosbie before he took him down. It was clear Crosbie didn’t have much time left, and Patterson got the arm triangle executed. Crosbie tapped out to give Patterson his seventh win by submission in 12 victories.

Mick Parkin vs. Lukasz Brzeski: result

This one didn’t need the entire first round to finish as Mick Parkin got a knockout victory in his home country.

After three minutes of feeling each other out, Parkin got his golden chance when he landed an over-the-top right hand on Lukasz Brzeski’s head. After that it was blow after blow from the England-native. Brzeski backed into the cage and was dropped, and that was all the referee needed to see to end the bout.

Shauna Bannon vs. Alice Ardelean: result

Shauna Bannon landed some early strikes but Alice Ardelean surprised her opponent with a takedown. Ardelean has yet to win by submission and she wasn’t able to do much on the ground, but Bannon countered with an arm bar attempt that nearly connected. Ardelean recovered with neither fighter able to take advantage in the first round.

The second round started like the first with Bannon successfully landing strikes, including a combination attack. Ardelean got another takedown but there wasn’t much done. The third round was much more strike-based and Ardelean was cut. Bannon landed some quality strikes, yet none were enough to take out Ardelean and the fight came down to the judges.

Bannon won by split decision. Even though Ardelean had the takedowns and no submission attempt was officially record, Bannon landed 130 strikes − with 60 significant hits to the head − while Ardelean had only 76 strikes.
