A man will face court accused of murder following a pre-arranged fight after which he allegedly dumped his opponent in a western Sydney street and left him to die.

Emergency services were called to Georgina Crescent in Melonba about 8.45pm on Friday following reports a man had been found and was likely deceased.

Ambulance paramedics treated the 32-year-old at the scene for significant injuries to his head and body.

The man was declared dead by the time police arrived.

Shortly after, officers were alerted to a nearby collision involving a parked car where the driver had failed to stop.

Police identified the vehicle as having been used to convey the victim to the street where he was found.

A 38-year-old man allegedly discovered hiding in bushes close by was arrested and a crime scene was established.

It is expected police will allege in court that the two men were involved in a pre-arranged fight before the injured man was driven to Georgina Crescent, where he was found by a member of the public.

The accused man was refused bail by police to appear before Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.
