UFC 317 – Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira LIVE RESULTS: Card on NOW as two title bouts top the huge bill
Diniz vs Hines - Round Three
Hine's face is battered, swollen and bloodied. Diniz can't miss with his left hooks.
But he's still in this one and is coming dangerously close to landing a hard overhand right to the head.
Diniz's head movement is keeping. him safe, for now.
But just as I say that, he winces in pain from an accidental eye poke.
He takes just over a minute and a half of a break before resuming the action.
Hines has another takedown attempt stuffed by a solid-looking Diniz.
Diniz gets rocked by a big overhand right but fires back with a clubbing left hand of his own.
Hines lands a head kick, which briefly stuns Diniz. But the Brazilian lands one of his own seconds before the horn.
That was a great round, one, in my opinion Hines won.
Chisanga's scorecard: 29-28 Diniz
