We head to the women’s flyweight division now, where former strawweight champ Jessica Andrade takes on Jasmine Jasudavicius.

Round three

Cutelaba goes back to the well with a series of low kicks, before diving for a double-leg takedown. Great defence from Bukauskas, although he’s now being held against the fence.

He gets free but is on the back foot, circling away from Cutelaba for a long spell now.

Nice one-two from Bukauskas as he looks to regain some respect.

Again, however, Cutelaba is able to hold the British-Lithuanian against the fence.

A fun striking exchange heralds the final buzzer, and we await the scorecards.

Modestas Bukauskas def. Ion Cutelaba via split decision (27-30, 30-27, 29-28)

Some strange scorecards, but for our money, Bukauskas was a worthy winner. The commentary seemed quite pro-Cutelaba.

Cutelaba closes range and looks to make things scrappy, but Bukauskas clinches before sending his opponent flying with a right hand.

Cutelaba looks cognisant; it might have been more of a balance issue that saw him go down.

Now we have some grappling along the fence, with Bukauskas in charge for a while, until Cutelaba reverses the position and lands some good knees to the body.

The pair eventually move back into the open. Bukauskas is sporting a slight cut around his left eye.

Oh! A wild exchange now, both men landing hooks at close range!

We stay in the light-heavyweight division for the next bout, as British-Lithuanian 205lber Modestas Bukauskas takes on Ion Cutelaba.

Both fighters stand orthodox. Lots of twitching feints from each of them.

Cutelaba just misses with an overhand right. He kicks low several times. Bukauskas times a cross over one of those kicks.

And another cross by Bukauskas! But he eats one now, before blocking a high kick.

Bukauskas’s range management has been good overall. He again darts in and out to land a cross. He adds two more as we enter the final minute of the round.

Bukauskas barely misses with a spinning back kick in the final seconds.

Round three

Stirling lands a knee up the middle, but Erslan immediately fires back with a left hook.

Stirling shoots for a single-leg from quite a way out, but he’s able to get Erslan back to the fence anyway.

Oh! A right hand rocks Erslan against the fence, and he drops to his knees as Stirling pours on strikes! Erslan is able to grab a single-leg to slow down Stirling, and eventually Erslan stands as well!

He beckons on Stirling and the crowd, who are in a frenzy now, but that might not have been a good idea! Stirling is battering him again, and Erslan drops once more...

The final buzzer sounds as Stirling lands punch after punch from the back. To the scorecards we go.

Navajo Stirling def. Ivan Erslan via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-27)

Erslan shoots for a takedown. He can’t quite get a grip around the legs, but he locks his hands around Stirling’s waist.

He drives Stirling to the cage, but Stirling is able to reverse the position and trip Erslan.

Erslan gets back to his feet, and now HE reverses the position! He’s holding Stirling against the fence midway through the round.

The 205lbers eventually separate, and they’re back at striking range. Stirling is briefly southpaw.

He switches stances back and forth and continues to use kicks to the body. Meanwhile, Erslan gets back to those right crosses.

We kick off the regular prelims with a light-heavyweight clash between Navajo Stirling and Ivan Erslan!

Both men stand orthodox. Clean cross lands for Erslan, then another. He tries to follow up with a takedown, but Stirling denies him.

Stirling trying some high kicks, early doors. Left hook connects for him.

Stirling starts to get a better read on Erslan’s offence as the round progresses. More kicks from him, too; low and to the body now.

So, here’s how the early prelims played out:

Marc-Andre Barriault def. Bruno Silva via first-round KO (1:27)

Daniel Santos def. Jeong Yeong Lee via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Bekzat Almakhan def. Brad Katona via first-round KO

Silva had to be taken out on a stretcher after his knockout by Barriault; let’s hope he’s okay.

Okay, the regular prelims will begin in just a few minutes!

In a moment, we’ll give you a round-up of the early-prelim results, before our full live coverage begins.

Before then, though, here’s a look at another big MMA event this evening: PFL Belfast, where Paul Hughes scored a 42-second KO of Bruno Miranda.

That finish sent the crowd into a frenzy, which only built when Hughes called for a rematch with Usman Nurmagomedov.

In other UFC news this week, Alex Pereira claimed he was hacked on X (formerly Twitter) after a post appeared online, in which the former two-weight champion seemingly criticised UFC bosses.

What do you think? Was “Poatan” hacked, or was that an excuse?
