UFC Fight Night 141 live results: Curtis Blaydes vs. Francis Ngannou 2

Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC Fight Night 141: Blaydes vs. Ngannou 2, emanating from the Cadillac Arena in Beijing, China.

The Octagon heads to Beijing for the very first time with a pair of heavyweight bouts at the top of the card including a rematch in the main event featuring a former title challenger looking to derail an opponent looking for a title shot.

The main event sees Curtis Blaydes putting his six-fight unbeaten streak on the line, as well as his hopes for a title shot, as he looks to avenge a prior loss to Francis Ngannou, who is looking to end a two-fight losing skid.

Blaydes and Ngannou squared off previously in April 2016, a fight won by Ngannou via TKO in the second round. Ngannou has gone on to fight for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, which he came up short in claiming, while Blaydes has yet to suffer defeat since that loss, going unbeaten in six fights including four straight wins, which has put him as close as one fight away from a title shot.

In the co-main event, former title challenger Alistair Overeem looks to get back into the win column after two straight losses when he takes on Sergey Pavlovich, who makes his UFC debut sporting a perfect 12-0 record. This entire event will stream on UFC Fight Pass.

Follow along with our live coverage of the event beginning at 3:15 a.m. Eastern time with preliminary action all the way through the main card.
