UFC 204 marks the fourth event held in Manchester, England, by Ultimate Fighting Championship. Tonight, (Sat., Oct. 8) newly-crowned Middleweight champion and England's first UFC champion, Michael Bisping, will make his very first title defense, rematching the man who put him to sleep with one of the most famous knockouts in UFC history, Dan Henderson, owner of the "H-Bomb." In addition to the main event, long-time veteran Vitor Belfort will take on Gegard Mousasi in a highly anticipated Middleweight bout, and Ovince Saint Preux will battle Jimi Manuwa in a Light Heavyweight contest that virtually guarantees fireworks.
UFC 204 is taking place live tonight (Sat., Oct. 8, 2016) inside Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, airing live on pay-per- view (PPV). However, the "Prelims" undercard kicked off on UFC Fight Pass at 7 p.m. ET. Check out the results below for the two fights on UFC's streaming service.
Mike Perry vs. Daniel Roberts
The Fight Pass "Prelims" main event ended in devastating fashion. Mike Perry (9-0) ended Danny Roberts' (13-2) night with a brutal combination in the last round with just 20 seconds remaining in the three-round bout. The Floridian welterweight continued his undefeated streak and has still yet to reach a decision in his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career. It was a very entertaining fight that saw Perry come out swinging in the first round, landing well-placed punches and winning the round, while Roberts came back strong in round two using heavy kicks to wear down Perry. Then, near the very end of round three, Perry saw an opportunity and finished the fight. Perry landed a brutal knee within the clinch to rock Roberts hard, and then followed it up with a solid right hand to knock him down. A barrage of punches later on the ground and that marked the end for Roberts' night.

Now "Platinum" just needs to work on the mic:
Adriano Martins vs. Leonardo Santos
In the very first bout of the UFC Fight Pass "Prelims," it was the battle of the Brazilians, as Leonardo Santos (16-3-1) was able to grab a split decision victory over Adriano Martins (28-8). Throughout the fight, Santos was able to use his reach advantage, stay away from Martins' power shots, and land effective body kicks and punches. There wasn't much action throughout the fight, as boos came from the crowd during several occasions. For the first two rounds, Santos landed body kicks and was able to snipe Martins at range. Occasionally, Martins was able to pick up the tempo, pressure Santos, and land well on the inside. He scored a few leg kicks as well throughout the fight, but most of the pressure he brought came in the third round. Without much action, Santos earned himself the split decision with a not-so-happy crowd reacting afterward. Ultimately, Santos did enough in the first two rounds to slightly edge out Martins, even though Martins came through with a solid third round. Overall, it wasn't enough for Martins, as Santos extends his win streak to four, while Martins picked up his first loss in his last four fights.
