Fight summary

Round-by-round
Round one was a physical round. Perry moved forward, landed a right hand early and mixed in knees and elbows. Diaz used his jab at times and even landed a throw on Perry, but Perry ended the frame on top, landing strikes and taking the offensive position. Diaz opened a cut and Perry kept working the body.
Round two grew bloodier and more chaotic. Diaz started with jabs, but Perry answered with hard body shots, a superman punch attempt, and close-range dirty boxing. The action included short elbows and clinch work. Both men showed fatigue, but Perry looked fresher and more effective in the final minute.
A big knee late in the round put Diaz down. He got to his feet, but he was soaked in blood and clearly hurt. Between rounds, his corner chose to stop the fight for his safety.
Aftermath
At 41 years old, Diaz showed he still has heart, but the night highlighted problems with cuts and fading cardio in later fights. Diaz was calling for a rematch after the stoppage. Perry used his win to call out Jake Paul for an MMA fight.
The fight drew attention for its raw, brawling style and the deep cuts that ended the night. The finish will likely spark talk about matchups and potential follow-ups for both men.
