As the fights play out, I'll also include KO and knockdown highlights where available. The co-main event carries some interest. Though it is not a championship fight, Raymond Ford is one of the top young American fighters in the smaller weight classes.
He bounced back from the first loss of his pro career against Nick Ball in June 2024 with a unanimous decision win over Orlando Gonzalez.
On Saturday, Ford will battle the rugged Thomas Mattice. Gonzalez fought like a man determined not to be stopped—even if that meant a refusal to engage. It made for a boring fight, but it was still a dominant performance from Ford.
While Gonzalez didn't pose much of an issue for Ford, Mattice should be far more competitive. Mattice is 22-4-1, and he has been in the ring with higher levels of competition.
The early portion of the stream has IBF super lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins handling color analysis. Early on, he is doing an excellent job. It'll be interesting to see if DAZN continues to have him wear this hat during future fight cards.
It's a great look.
Keep refreshing for the latest reactions and results.

UFC on ESPN 69: Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley odds, picks and predictions
UFC on ESPN 69: Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley odds, picks and predictions In a 5-round welterweight bout in the main event, Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley meet Saturday at UFC on ESPN 69 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The main event is expected to start approximately at 12:45 a.m. ET, following the prelims scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+) with the main card set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN / ESPN+). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's UFC odds around the UFC on ESPN 69: Usman vs. Buckley odds, and make our expert UFC picks and predictions. Records: Usman (20-4-0) | Buckley (21-6-0) The former champ Usman heads into this matchup looking to halt a 3-bout losing skid. He lost the belt to Leon Edwards via a Round-5 KO/TKO at UFC 278 in August 2022, and lost a majority-decision in a championship rematch to Edwards 7 months later at UFC 286. Usman's last fight was a majority-decision loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 in October 2023 before he took some time off to rest nagging aches and injuries. Buckley has been on a different trajectory lately, winning 6 consecutive fights. In his most recent showing, he won via TKO - doctor's stoppage against division veteran Colby Covington in a Fight Night main event in Tampa Dec. 14, 2024. Buckley owns 3 KO/TKOs victories in his past 4 outings, while recording 4 KO/TKO victories in hist past 6 fights, with the other 2 victories coming via unanimous decision against Nursulton Ruziboev and Alex Morono. Usman has a slight 4.36-to-4.22 significant strikes landed per minute, and the former champ is far more accurate than the southpaw Buckley at 64.27% on those strikes to just 40.55% for the American. Usman has a 2.82 takedown average, to just 1.78 for Buckley. The takedown-accuracy percentage and submission average numbers are relatively even. Watch this card with ESPN+ by signing up here. UFC on ESPN 69: Usman vs. Buckley odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:29 a.m. ET. Fight result (2-way line) : Usman +225 (bet $100 to win $225) | Buckley -285 (bet $285 to win $100) : Usman +225 (bet $100 to win $225) | Buckley -285 (bet $285 to win $100) Total rounds: 4.5 rounds (Over -105 | Under -125) 4.5 rounds (Over -105 | Under -125) Will the fight go the distance? (Yes +110 | No -150) UFC on ESPN 69: Usman vs. Buckley picks and predictions If he is back to 100 percent health, USMAN (+225) is a fabulous value as an underdog for a chance to more than double up. While Buckley has won 6 fights in a row -- and is looking to position himself for a chance at a championship shot -- Usman is a proud veteran, who took time off to let his troublesome knee get better. As long as Usman can avoid the big kill shot from Buckley, who has 4 KO/TKO wins in the past 6 bouts, Usman should be able to do enough to wow the judges and get the job done, and Buckley will have to wait his turn a little bit longer. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now! OVER 4.5 ROUNDS (-105) is OK if you want to have a little bit of wiggle room in the event of a potential finish late in Round 5. If not, go with YES (+110): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE at plus-money. In 3 of the past 4 fights for Usman, he has ended up going the distance, and he has made it to Round 5 in 8 of the previous 10 fights which have been 5-round events. Buckley has ended up going the distance in just 2 of the past 5 fights, but he has only been involved in a single 5-round fight to date. That was the TKO - Doctor's Stoppage win over Covington, which made it late into Round 3. Visit MMA Junkie for more fight news and analysis.

US Open leaderboard updates: Scores, highlights as Sam Burns leads before final round
US Open leaderboard updates: Scores, highlights as Sam Burns leads before final round Show Caption Hide Caption J.J. Spaun calls it his best putting day of the year J.J. Spaun navigated Oakmont's tough setup with sharp putting and gritty play in round one of the U.S. Open. USGA The dust has settled after moving day at the 2025 U.S. Open. American Sam Burns (-3) sits atop the leaderboard following the third round of play on Saturday at Oakmont Country Club, which has proven to be a challenge as only four golfers are currently under par. Adam Scott (-2), J.J. Spaun (-2), Viktor Hovland (-1) and Carols Ortiz (E) rounds out the top five. Bryson DeChambeau will not defend his 2024 U.S. Open crown as he was one of golf's stars to miss the cut. DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Akshay Bhatia all finished 10-over-par. Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Shane Lowry are among the other big names who missed the cut (which was 7-over). USA TODAY Sports provided complete coverage of Saturday's third round: 1. Sam Burns: -4 (F) (F) T2. J.J. Spaun: -3 (F) (F) T2. Adam Scott: -3 (F) (F) 4. Viktor Hovland: -1 (F) (F) 5. Carlos Ortiz: E (F) (F) T6. Thriston Lawrence: +1 (F) (F) T6. Tyrrell Hatton: +1 (F) (F) 8. Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen: +2 (F) (F) T9. Robert MacIntyre: +3 (F) (F) T9. Cameron Young: +3 (F) ➤ Complete U.S. Open leaderboard Adam Scott is climbing up the leaderboard. The Australian golfer birdied three of the past five holes to move into the co-lead at 3-under on the day. He's carded four total birdes in the third round and one bogey. Scott, who turns age 45 next month, looks to become one of the oldest players to win the U.S. Open. Hale Irwin became the oldest champion when he won the 1990 U.S. Open while aged 45 years and 15 days. Sam Burns is alone at the top. Burns took sole possession of the lead at the 2025 U.S. Open after sinking a birdie on hole No. 13, marking his second birdie of the third round. He saved par on hole No. 14 to maintain his one-stroke lead over J.J. Spaun through 14 holes. After scoring two-over on the front nine, Ben Griffin notched birdied on two of three holes to get his score back to even and into a tie for fourth place. A bogey on No. 18 was Carlos Ortiz's only blemish to an otherwise splendid third round at the U.S. Open. Ortiz finished the day with a 3-under, which puts him at even heading into Sunday's final round. In addition to the bogey, Ortiz had four birdies and pars on the other 13 holes. He enters the clubhouse three strokes behind J.J. Spaun and Sam Burns, who currently share the lead. Tyrell Hatton is back to even at the U.S. Open after putting up three birdies over his past four holes. Hatton is 3-under for the day. Carlos Ortiz went into the clubhouse after Friday's second round at 3 over par, but he's in the thick of contention after a sizzling third round at Oakmont. Ortiz has made four birdies and 10 pars to move to 1-under after 14 holes. He's in third place, just two strokes behind co-leaders J.J. Spaun and Sam Burns. J.J. Spaun drained the first birdie on No. 1 of the day and got himself into a tie for the lead with Sam Burns. Sam Burns (-3) and J.J. Spaun (-2) took their tee shots for the third round, as two of three golfers who are currently under par. Viktor Hovland began the day two shots back and bogeyed his first hole of the day, while J.J. Spaun took a share of the lead with a birdie on his first hole. Brooks Koepka, the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open champion, began his third round at 2-over tied for ninth as the final five groups get set for their rounds with the last group starting at 3:35 p.m. Koepka started off on the par 4, 487-yard first hole and missed for a 10-foot par putt to start his day to push him back to 3-over. The $21.5 million total purse is the same as it was last year, and the winner will also take home the same amount that Bryson DeChambeau did when he won at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024. 1st: $4,300,000 2nd: $2,322,000 3rd: $1,459,284 4th: $1,023,014 5th: $852,073 6th: $755,520 7th: $681,131 8th: $610,034 9th: $552,103 10th: $507,118 11th: $462,792 12th: $427,901 13th: $398,716 14th: $367,995 15th: $341,663 16th: $319,719 17th: $302,164 18th: $284,609 19th: $267,054 20th: $249,499 21st: $234,358 22nd: $219,217 23rd: $204,515 24th: $190,910 25th: $179,060 26th: $168,966 27th: $161,286 28th: $154,483 29th: $147,900 30th: $141,317 31st: $134,734 32nd: $128,151 33rd: $121,567 34th: $115,643 35th: $110,815 36th: $105,987 37th: $101,379 38th: $96,991 39th: $92,602 40th: $88,213 41st: $83,824 42nd: $79,436 43rd: $75,047 44th: $70,658 45th: $66,269 46th: $62,320 47th: $58,370 48th: $54,639 49th: $52,445 50th: $50,251 51st: $48,934 52nd: $47,837 53rd: $46,959 54th: $46,520 55th: $46,081 56th: $45,642 57th: $45,203 58th: $44,765 59th: $44,326 60th: $43,887 61st: $43,448 62nd: $43,009 63rd: $42,570 64th: $42,131 65th: $41,692 66th: $41,254 If golfers are expecting to get off to a fast start in the third round, the first two holes haven't been cooperative. The first two holes have produced only three birdies for the more-than-30 golfers that have taken the course on Saturday, and the first hole, a par 4, 487-yard hole, hasn't recorded a single birdie. The back nine isn't much better with one birdie carded on the 10th hole. 2026: Shinnecock Hills Golf Club - Southampton, New York (June 18-21) 2027: Pebble Beach Golf Links - Pebble Beach, California (June 17-20) 2028: Winged Foot Golf Club - Mamaroneck, New York (June 15-18) 2029: Pinehurst Resort & C.C.

(Course No. 2) - Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina (June 14-17) As the third round commences, those who are already on the golf course are having a tough time posting positive scores, with a light rain soaking the course. Almost two hours into the round, only two golfers are under par, with very few birdies. Brian Harmon got a birdie at the par-five four to improve to 6-over and Matthew Fitzpatrick has the same score after his 31-foot birdie putt on 600-yard par-five fourth hole. Rory McIlroy, who won this tournament in 2011 and finished second in 2023 and 2024, has begun his third round and sits at 6-over through 36 holes. Sam Burns is the 36-hole leader at the U.S. Open after the second round was completed early Saturday morning and is only one of five players who are above par heading into the weekend. The third round is underway with golfers who barely made the cut line at 7-over par, starting with Philip Barbaree, Jr. and Cam Davis being among nine golfers set to tee off before 10 a.m. ET.

Hitchins dismantles Kambosos inside eight to retain 140lb title at Garden
Richardson Hitchins delivered a career-best performance on Saturday night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, stopping George Kambosos Jr with a withering body shot in the eighth round to retain the IBF's version of the light welterweight championship. In his first defense of the 140lb belt, and his first time headlining a card in his hometown, Hitchins (20-0, 8 KOs) controlled every round before putting Kambosos down with a sharp left hook to the midsection. The Australian rose to his feet before the count of 10, but referee Michael Griffin waved off the fight as Kambosos visibly grimaced in pain, unable to continue. Advertisement 'I've been telling the boxing world I was coming and they should have listened,' Hitchins said afterwards. 'I told his dad, if you love your son, you'll stop the fight. He was tough, a true competitor, but I was just the better man tonight.' The 26-year-old Hitchins had pledged a punishing performance after a spicy build-up that included cancelled face-offs, bold predictions and tension between camps. After dancing into the ring to a roaring crowd, the native of Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood dominated from the outset and won every minute of every round up until the stoppage. 'I knew I had to go to some unsafe places to get some good shots off,' Hitchins said. 'I put myself in harm's way, but I knew I had good defense. He caught me with a couple of good shots, but they didn't hurt me. So I just went for the kill.' The Compubox punch statistics lent a quantitative context to the one-way traffic. Hitchins connected with a whopping 205 of 398 punches (52%), while Kambosos landed only 57 of 384 shots (15%). Advertisement For Kambosos (22-4, 10 KOs), it was a humbling defeat and perhaps the end of a remarkable run. The 32-year-old had been bidding to join Jeff Fenech and Bob Fitzsimmons on the short list of multi-division world champions from Australia. Instead, he suffered his fourth loss in six outings. 'Man, I really believed in myself, but just didn't have the timing,' Kambosos said. 'He was a little bit too good for me tonight. He hit me with a beautiful body shot. I still got up before 10, but the ref's got to do his job.' Having registered shock waves through the sport with his upset win over Teófimo López in 2021 in this same room, Kambosos has since endured punishing losses to Devin Haney (twice), Vasiliy Lomachenko and now Hitchins. Saturday's result not only ended his hopes of a second world title, but may have signaled the final chapter of his career. 'Right now I'm going to go coach my son's footie team,' Kambosos said. Kambosos had shocked the boxing world with his upset win over Teófimo López in this same room in 2021. But since then, the Australian has suffered punishing defeats to Devin Haney (twice), Vasiliy Lomachenko, and now Hitchins. Saturday's result not only ended his hopes of a second world title, but may have signaled the final chapter of his career. Advertisement Hitchins, meanwhile, continues his promising ascent at 140lb. After outpointing Australia's Liam Paro of the IBF strap in December, he's now scored a second straight win over a world-class foe and will head into a likely title unification fight as a promotional free agent. One possible opponent is Lopez, who took in Saturday's card from ringside before climbing through the ropes to joing the post-fight patter. But Hitchins appeared to make his preference clear when he closed his interview with an expletive-laden rant calling out Haney, the former unified lightweight champion who has since moved up to the 140lb division.
