The hard-hitting warriors met on the main card of Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

It was widely viewed as the people’s main event and certainly lived up to expectations.

Bloodbath in Inglewood

Both Diaz and Perry were left busted wide open following the first five minutes.

Perry put his foot on the gas right away and had Diaz on the retreat in the opening exchanges, until Diaz hip-tossed Perry to the canvas and almost caught him in a submission.

Diaz recovered from the early onslaught with 60 seconds to go and cut Perry, who finished the round by landing nasty elbows on his fellow American.

Perry continued to put it on Diaz in the second round and dropped him midway through with a knee.

‘Platinum’ followed up with some nasty ground and pound before welcoming Diaz back to his feet.

Diaz, now covered in crimson red at this point with blood gushing from his face, kept coming back as we’ve seen so many times in his illustrious fighting career.

However, just before the end of round two, another knee from Perry had Diaz on red alert.

The bell soon sounded, but Diaz looked seriously hurt and could barely make it to his stool.

He was bleeding a serious amount of blood when he eventually made it to his corner, leaving his team with no choice but to pull the fight.

“He’s the toughest f***ing guy out there, there’s no quit in him,” Perry said after his win.

Perry mentioned Conor McGregor, whose UFC return was made official this weekend, or a potential rematch with Diaz next.

Diaz, meanwhile, said he broke his finger during the fight and said he will return to get one back on Perry.

Reacting to the stoppage, Diaz added: “I couldn’t see s***, I wasn’t going to be able to do anything.”

Elsewhere on the Rousey vs Carano bill, Francis Ngannou secured a vicious first-round KO on his MMA return.
