Live Scores

LivePlayScore brings you UFC and MMA live scores and results from every numbered UFC event, UFC Fight Night cards, the PFL and ONE Championship, updated round by round. Who's in the cage, the current round, and how each fight ended appear on this page as the card unfolds. It's free, and you don't need an account.

Fight night is long. A full UFC card can have 12 or more bouts spread over five or six hours, from the early prelims to the main event. Big events are often held in Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, London or Sydney, which means someone, somewhere, is watching at 4 am. If you can't sit through the whole card, you still want to know the second your fighter gets the finish or the judges read out the scores. This page is built for that: open it, find the fight, and you're caught up.

Each event is laid out the way the card runs, from the first prelim fight to the main event. For every bout, you'll see:

• The fighters: both names, the weight class, and whether it's a title fight.
• Fight status: upcoming, live (with the current round) or finished.
• The result: the winner, the method (KO/TKO, submission or decision), the round and the time of the finish.
• Decision details: whether it was a unanimous, split or majority decision, with the judges' scorecards where available.

If you only need to know who won the main event, the top of the card gives you that. If you want to know how an underdog pulled off the upset, the method, round and time usually tell the story.

If you're newer to MMA, the result line is easy to read once you know the basic ways a fight can end.

• KO or TKO: a knockout, or a technical knockout when the referee stops the fight because a fighter can no longer defend themselves. Doctor stoppages and corner stoppages also count as TKOs.
• Submission: a fighter taps out, or the referee stops the fight, because of a choke or joint lock. Common ones include the rear-naked choke, the guillotine and the armbar.
• Decision: if the fight goes the distance, three judges score each round. A unanimous decision means all three picked the same winner. A split decision means two judges went one way and one went the other. A majority decision means two judges picked a winner and one scored it a draw.
• Draw, disqualification or no contest: these are rare, but they happen. A no contest is usually given after an accidental foul that stops the fight early.

Most fights are three rounds of five minutes. Main events and title fights are five rounds. Judges use the 10-point must system: the fighter who wins a round gets 10 points and the other usually gets 9, or fewer for a dominant round.

Every UFC fight is held in a weight class, and the result is shown with it. The men's divisions run from flyweight (125 lb) through bantamweight (135), featherweight (145), lightweight (155), welterweight (170), middleweight (185) and light heavyweight (205) up to heavyweight (265). Women compete at strawweight (115), flyweight (125) and bantamweight (135). Catchweight bouts, agreed at a weight between two divisions, are marked too.

UFC. Every numbered pay-per-view event, every UFC Fight Night, and special cards throughout the year. The UFC is where most of the world's best fighters compete, and its title fights draw fans from every continent.

PFL. The Professional Fighters League, which now includes Bellator, runs its own events and a season format with playoffs and finals.

ONE Championship. Asia's biggest promotion, with MMA alongside Muay Thai and kickboxing bouts on the same cards.

Our results come from a professional real-time sports data feed, the kind used by broadcasters and sports apps. The page updates by itself during events, so you don't need to keep refreshing.

A few situations can make a result look odd for a moment. Here's how we handle them:

• Late changes to the card. Fighters pull out through injury or missed weight, sometimes on the day of the event. Replacement fights and cancelled bouts are clearly marked, so the card always matches what's actually happening.
• Overturned results. Occasionally a result is changed to a no contest after the event, for example following a failed drug test or a successful appeal. When that happens, we update the record to match the official decision.
• Missed weight. If a fighter misses weight, the bout usually goes ahead at a catchweight, and in a title fight only one fighter can win the belt. We note this where it applies.

If you ever see a result that doesn't match what's on TV, let us know through our contact page. Reader reports have helped us catch mistakes, and we'd rather fix them fast. You can also read more about who we are and how we work on our About LivePlayScore page.

A few habits make fight night easier to follow:

Check the running order. The main card starts after the prelims, and fight times shift depending on how quickly earlier bouts finish. A night full of first-round finishes can move the main event forward by an hour.

Watch the round, not just the status. A fight in round three of three is heading to the judges. A fight in round one might end at any second.

Look at the method. A first-round submission says a lot more about a fighter than a close split decision.

Keep an eye on title fights. Five rounds give more time for comebacks, and late finishes in rounds four and five are some of the most memorable moments in the sport.
