And there you have it. Joanna retains her title via unanimous decision after that amazing fight.

10:53 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Yet another competitive round for the SW title, as Joanna's striking game proved too much for Valerie. Trading shots with Joanna isn't the best idea, but Valerie held her own for most of the fight. Joanna wins round 4 and the fight 49 - 46.

10:46 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Another productive round for the champ, as Joanna kept pushing forward, connecting with some beautiful hooks. That's 3 rounds to Joanna and 1 to Valerie. Onto the final round then!

10:33 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Great round of exchanges in round 2, as Joanna was a bit more aggressive. Her combinations were fluid, and she caught Valerie with her burst of pace. Round 2 to Joanna, as we're even at 19 - 19 going into the last round.

10:28 (IST)15 NOV 2015

That was an eventful right between Joanna and Valerie, as Val went on the offensive, but Joanna came back and connected with a beautiful front kick. Round 1 to Valerie, but only just.

10:18 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Co - main event time, as Valerie looks focused. Joanna has been unstoppable in the SW division. Can Valerie use her size and reach advantage to bring the champ down? We'll find out.

Both men started cautiously, but Hunt quickly picked up the pace. Hunt connected with a couple of quick jab - punch combinations, as Silva looked wobbly with his leg kicks. Hunt finished Silva off with combinations, and won the fight in the first round via TKO.

09:50 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Up next is the rematch for the ages! The last time Hunt and Silva faced each other inside the Octagon, it became a stuff of legends. Let's hope for the same this time around.

09:40 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Uriah never got off the blocks, as Whittaker worked on Uriah in the third round. Uriah got in a couple of jabs and a beautiful front face kick a la Anderson Silva, but that's about it. Whittaker took Uriah down in the dying seconds, and inches Uriah to win round 3 10 - 9. That's 30 - 27 in favor of Whittaker for those who're keeping count.

09:34 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Round 2 was almost even, with Whittaker going after Hall in the early going, but Uriah managed to find his touch, and went for some highlight finishes. Whittaker wins round 2 10 - 9, and 20 - 18 on aggregate going into the final round.

09:27 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Crowd was firmly behind Whittaker, as the Australian managed to negate Hall's unpredictability and worked over Hall on the ground. Whittaker wins round 1 10 - 9.

As predicted, Jared wins the fight 29 - 28 with a unanimous decision. No post fight interview with Joe. Smart decision?

09:07 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Both men got a takedown each in the third round, but the fans aren't happy with the fight. Loud boos as Struve wins the third round 10 - 9, but that was a pretty weak performance. Jared with 29 - 28 according to us. Official decision yet to be announced.

Same story in round 2. Rosholt grinds Struve on the ground, and wins the second round 10 - 9, although Struve landed some elbows during the dying seconds. 20 - 18 to Rosholt after round 2.

08:55 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Round 1 was pretty lackluster, as Rosholt tried to keep the distance, and tried to work on Struve on the ground. 10 - 9 to Rosholt in Round 1.

08:49 (IST)15 NOV 2015

Time for the main card, and Struve and Rosholt are in the cage to kick things off, as the Melbourne crowd looks fired up.

In the last fight of the FS1 prelims card, hometown hero Jake Matthews fought back after an early onslaught by Akbarh Arreola to win the fight after the doctors deemed Arreola unfit to continue to fight.

07:59 (IST)15 NOV 2015

"I made sure I didn’t have to cut 10 or 11 kilograms before the fight", said Mark Hunt about his current fight. Let's wait and see if he has done enough to notch up a victory on the main card.
