Rousey vs. Carano results: Mike Perry dominates Nate Diaz in a bloody TKO victory, immediately calls out Jake Paul

Nate Diaz was left completely bloodied in his return on Saturday night.

Mike Perry made quick work of the former MMA star, and walked away with a TKO win during Saturday’s Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano card at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, which marked the inaugural MMA card broadcasted on Netflix. Diaz’s camp called the bout after the second round following a huge knee to his head, which only added to the blood that was gushing out of Diaz at the time.

“Look, I landed really good shots and I was hitting,” Perry said. “I was getting a little tired, but I think that’s part of it … He’s the toughest f***ing guy out there, there’s no quit in him … Blood was spilled.”

Perry dominated nearly the entire way, and came out hot with several body shots in the opening seconds that seemed to throw Diaz off from the jump. While Diaz recovered a bit and landed multiple head shots of his own later in the round, Perry got a couple elbows in against the cage right before the bell sounded. That sent the fight into the second round, something the first three fights on the card failed to do. They all ended with opening-round knockouts.

Perry picked it right back up in the second, and landed multiple hits that sent blood pouring out of Diaz’s head. Quickly, Perry threw Diaz down to the mat and sent a barrage of blows down as the blood kept pouring. Diaz kept absorbing hits, seemingly trying to run out the clock on the round. But Perry, right before the bell sounded, delivered the knee that sent Diaz stumbling back down to the mat with his face completely red. The hit looked close to a finishing blow had it come earlier in the period.

It turned out to be enough. Diaz’s team called the fight during the break between rounds. That officially gave Perry the TKO win as Diaz started using water to wash as much blood off of him as he could.

Diaz said after that he didn’t have any issue with the stoppage. He did, though, get on board with a rematch in the future.

“I had blood in my eye, I couldn’t see … It’s all good,” Diaz said. “Next time, he ain’t gonna be able to do nothing.”

Diaz entered the night with a 22-13 career record, though he’s not fought since he beat Tony Ferguson via a fourth-round submission back in 2022. He has since dabbled a bit in boxing, and beat former UFC rival Jorge Masvidal in 2024 after falling to Jake Paul the year before, but he had been contemplating a return to the sport in recent years. While he’s 41 and undoubtedly no longer at the peak of his career, a potential trilogy bout with Conor McGregor, who he upset back in 2016, is absolutely on the table for a future fight. McGregor is making a return later this summer in a bout with Max Holloway, something that was announced on Saturday night.

Perry entered the night having lost four of his last five UFC bouts, but he also left back in 2021 and has found a new revival in his career in bare-knuckle boxing. He went on a huge 6-0 run in BKFC and beat several big names, though he too fell to Paul in a boxing match in 2024. 

Perry didn’t waste any time trying to line up his next fight, either, and turned to Paul — who was promoting Saturday night’s card and standing right next to him in the ring. Paul didn’t hesitate.

“I’ll MMA this motherf***er,” Paul said. “I already beat that ass in boxing.”

PGA Championship: Aaron 'Two Gloves' Rai holds a share of the lead at Aronimink, but why does he wear two gloves?

Aaron Rai has put himself in a position to pick up what would be a life changing major championship win on Sunday at Aronimink Golf Club. 

And he did so while being the only man in the field wearing two golf gloves. 

Rai posted a 3-under 67 on Saturday at the PGA Championship. That got him to 4-under on the week, and briefly had him in the solo lead during what turned out to be a very chaotic and jam-packed leaderboard at the major championship. 

While it’s nothing new, Rai has been doing this for years, the two black gloves that the Englishman was sporting throughout his rounds drew some added attention. Not only is a black golf glove unusual on its own, but two of them will make you stand out instantly. Rai wears both of them for every shot, except for when he’s putting or hitting out of a bunker.

It turns out that’s just a thing Rai started doing randomly when he was just eight years old, partly out of necessity while practicing in colder weather to keep his hands warm. Then it just stuck.

“I just happened to be given these two gloves – the guy who actually makes them sent a pair over – and I got into the habit of wearing them,” Rai told GolfMonthly in 2025. “Then, a few weeks down the line, my dad forgot to put the two gloves in the bag so I had to play with one. It was terrible. I couldn’t play, I couldn’t feel the grip, so I’ve always stuck with the two gloves ever since.”

Rai was nearly the solo leader entering Sunday, but he fell apart a bit on the 18th. Rai missed the fairway off the tee and then hit his next shot into a bunker. He ended up going up-and-down to save his bogey and limit the damage, but that brought him into a five-way tie for the lead when he hit the clubhouse.

Matti Schmid, Nick Taylor, Jon Rahm and Ludvig Åberg were also at 4-under when Rai finished. Rory McIlroy led the massive group at 3-under, too. The tournament is still very much wide open.

Rai has only won a single time on the PGA Tour, back at the Wyndham Championship in 2024. He entered this week fresh off a fifth-place finish at the Myrtle Beach Classic, which was the alternate Tour stop during the Truist Classic. The 31-year-old is at No. 44 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He finished T19 at the PGA Championship last May, which matched the best major championship finish of his career.

Only time will tell if Rai can manage to separate from the field on Sunday. Nobody has been able to pull that off so far.

But the two gloves are here to stay. Clearly, it’s working out for him.

Fan hospitalized after falling into bullpen at Rate Field during White Sox's win over Royals

The Chicago White Sox’s 6-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday night was briefly delayed after a fan fell into the Kansas City bullpen in right field. 

The game at Rate Field in Chicago was suddenly stopped in the fourth inning without much of an explanation. Medical personnel went rushing out into the Royals’ bullpen after a fan fell.

The fan was tended to in the bullpen and eventually taken out on a gurney, according to ESPN’s Bradford Doolittle. The White Sox confirmed that the fan was then taken to a local hospital for treatment. Further specifics on the fan’s condition, or what led to the incident, are not yet known.

The White Sox were up 3-0 at the time, before the Royals tied the game up in the inning after the brief pause in the contest. Jarred Kelenic hit a two-run double in the fifth and Colson Montgomery hit a solo home run in the seventh to put the White Sox back out in front. That was enough to lift them toward the one-run win.

That marked the fourth straight win for the White Sox, who now sit at 21-21 on the season. According to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, this is the first time the franchise has reached .500 this late in the season since the end of the 2022 campaign, when they finished 81-81. 

The two teams will wrap up the three-game series Thursday night.
