WE GET YOU STARTED AT 145 WITH ORLANDO ORTEGA AND CODY LAW. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT. 25-YEAR-OLD CODY LAW, JOHN, THREE YEARS HIS ELDER, ORLANDO ORTEGA. >> AS YOU SAID, PRO DEBUT. SO MUCH HEIGHT BEHIND CODY LAW. WE'LL SEE IF IT'S TRUE. >> WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT. TO GET THINGS OFFICIAL, HERE'S MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GOOD EVENING. WELCOME TO MOHEGAN SUN ARENA AS WE GET UNDERWAY NOW WITH THE BELLATOR 250 PRELIMS. WE'LL START IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. SET FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS, INTRODUCING FIRST, THE BLUE CORNER, AT 5'9", WEIGHING IN AT 141 1/2 POUNDS, MAKING HIS PROFESSIONAL DEBUT, HE FIGHTS OUT OF QUEENS, NEW YORK, ORLANDO ONE SHOT ORTEGA. OUT OF THE RED CORNER, 5'9", 145.5 POUNDS, HE MAKES HIS PRO DEBUT. HE FIGHTS OUT OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, CODY LAW. WHEN THE BILL RINGS, THE REFEREE IN CHANGE, TODD ANDERSON. >> TODD ANDERSON IS OUR REFEREE. 28-YEAR-OLD ORTEGA AGAINST 25-YEAR-OLD CODY LAW. FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. HERE WE GO! TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. RED GLOVES FOR CODY LAW, BLUE GLOVES FOR ORLANDO ORTEGA, WHO WILL SWITCH HIS STANCE. ORLANDO ORTEGA HAS SPENT TIME TRAINING AT JACKSON WINK AND CODY LAW SPENT TIME TRAINING AT AMERICAN TOP TEAM. SO JOHN AND JOSH, YOUR TALKING ABOUT TWO OF THE BEST MMA CAMPS IN THE ENTIRE GAME. >> THEY'RE ALL RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. BOTH OF THOSE CAMPS. >> TALK ABOUT TWO GUYS IN THE CAGE RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF AMATEUR EXPERIENCE. CODY LAW HAS A TON OF AMATEUR WRESTLING EXPERIENCE. DIVISION 2 NCAA CHAMPION. >> HE WAS ON TWO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS WHEN HE WAS AT D-2, UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH JOHNSTOWN. HIS HEAD COACH, ISAAC GREELEY. RECENTLY INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME. CONGRATULATIONS TO ISAAC. >> VERY NICE UPPERCUT BY CODY LAW COMING IN. HE GOT CAUGHT A LITTLE BIT ON THAT EXCHANGE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES CODY LAW DIFFERENT IS HE'S NOT JUST THAT PURE WRESTLER. HE'S COMING IN TO MMA WITH AN AMATEUR BOXING BACKGROUND, THE AMATEUR WRESTLING BACKGROUND. HE CAN FIGHT. YOU'LL SEE HIM DOING SPINNING BACK KICKS. HE HAS THE FULL GAME. >> ORTEGA WITH A NICE OVERHAND RIGHT. IN THAT EXCHANGE YOU TALKED ABOUT. THE SPEED IS IN THE RANGE FOR ORTEGA. HE'S POSING A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. >> A BIG HAND BY CODY LAW. IT THE FOOTWORK. YOU CAN SEE THAT ORTEGA IS ELUSIVE IN HIS APPROACH. HE USES LATERAL MOVEMENT, WHICH GIVES LAW PROBLEMS. BOTH GUYS ARE IN THEIR PRO DEBUT. >> ORTEGA, A NATURAL FLY WEIGHT. 135. WHEN BELLATOR CALLS, AS YOU KNOW, YOU ANSWER AND YOU SAY I'M READY TO GO AT WHATEVER RIGHT. >> YEAH. YOU'RE READY TO GO AT ANY WEIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR PRO DEBUT. YOU WANT THE FIRST WIN. START YOUR CAREER OFF ON A GOOD STEP. SO RIGHT NOW HE'S ON THE BOTTOM. HE WAS DOING GOOD STUFF UNTIL HE GOT TAKEN DOWN. >> CODY LAW, 5-0. >> HE'S GOT IT SET. HE HAS TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS. BRINGING IT BACK DOWN. >> AND IT'S ALL OVER. JUST LIKE THAT! FIRST ROUND SUBMISSION VICTORY, CODY LAW. >> GOT HIM, DOC? >> TWO OF HIS AMATEUR WINS WERE BY SUBMISSION. HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL WIN IS BY SUBMISSION. >> WATCH THE SETUP. LOOK AT HIS RIGHT ARM. IT'S DEEP. HE LOCKS UP THE DARTS AND TAKES HIMSELF AND BRINGS HIMSELF OVER TO THE SIDE. BEAUTIFUL JOB. KNOWS THAT THAT WILL APPLY PRESSURE AND HOOKS THE LEG. THERE'S NO WHERE FOR ORTEGA TO GO. BEAUTIFUL SUBMISSION VICTORY IN HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL FIGHT HERE IN BELLATOR OR EVER. THAT IS A GREAT WIN. >> ORTEGA NEEDED TO DO A FORWARD ROLL TO AVOID FROM THE LEG BEING CAPTURED RIGHT THROUGH BE CODY LAW. THAT SETS YOU IN PLACE AND HARD TO ESCAPE. NICELY DONE. >> FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR CODY LAW. SOMETHING, JOHN, THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH ME EARLIER IN THE WEEK. HE SHOWS A BIT OF HIS POTENTIAL HERE IN HIS PROFESSIONAL AND OF COURSE BELLATOR DEBUT. >> MOMENTS BEFORE HE FOUGHT, DAN LAMBERT SAID HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST PROSPECT WE HAVE OUT OF ATT RIGHT NOW. THAT IS SAYING A LOT. >> YES. EVEN IF YOU SAID THAT JACKSON WINK AND AMERICAN TOP TEAM ARE OKAY. [LAUGHTER] >> JOSH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO EXAGGERATE AND ALSO LIE. >> I WOULD NEVER. >> CODY SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TRAINING AT THE MATT FACTORY IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH DALTON ROSDA WHO WILL FIGHT LATER ON. MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE, THE TAP COMES BY WAY OF THE OFFICIAL TIME. 2:41. ROUND NUMBER 1. HE KICKS OFF AS AN UNDEFEATED PROFESSIONAL, THE WINNER BY SUBMISSION, CODY LAW. >> 2:41 OF ROUND NUMBER 1. CONGRATULATIONS TO CODY LAW. >> LET'S CHECK IN AT THE FIGHT DESK WITH OUR OWN JAY GLAZER AND THE AMERICAN GANGSTER, JP. >> THIS IS A FIGHT FAN'S DREAM STYLISTICALLY. THEY DON'T SAY A LOT. IN THAT CAGE, MAN, THEY'RE VICIOUS. ABSOLUTELY VIAL HEENT. GEGARD AGAINST LIMA. THEY KNOW EACH OTHER MORE THAN EVERYBODY KNOWS. >> I WANT TO KILL A NARRATIVE TONIGHT. THERE'S A NARRATIVE THAT LIMA IS TOO SMALL TO GO WITH GEGARD. I SAW THEM 48 HOURS AGO. THEY WEIGHED 200 POUNDS BEFORE MAKING THE WEIGHT DROP TO THE LIMIT OF 185. I PREDICT THEY'RE 198 TO 200 POUNDS. THERE'S NO NARRATIVE THAT THERE'S A WEIGHT DISCREPANCY. >> WHICH IS THE BETTER STRIKER? >> TOUGH QUESTION. IF YOU ASK MVP WHO THE BETTER STRIKER IS, IT'S LIMA. THEY TRAIN TOGETHER IN HOLLAND, ALL STAND-UP TRAINING, ALL KICK BOXING. YOU HAVE TO ASK THEM. I THINK LIMA'S STRIKING IS UNDERRATED. THAT'S THE POINT I'M MAKING TO YOU. >> YOU SAID THEY TRAINED TOGETHER IN HOLLAND. EXPLAIN. >> IN A GYM IN HOLLAND. TWO OF THESE GUYS THOUGHT WE'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER. MOUSASI, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AT THAT TIME WAS A 205 POUNDER. DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION. SO THEY GET THIS WORK OUT AND SPEND TEN MINUTES TOGETHER. I DON'T HAVE THE RESULTS HOW THAT WENT. I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT MOUSASI'S TEAM SAID I WAS IN BETTER SHAPE. IT WAS LIMA'S FIRST DAY. I HAVE A FEEL. THE MASK, IF YOU WILL, IS OFF. >> AND DOUGLAS LIMA, WE TALK ABOUT MOUSASI. AND DOUGLAS LIMA AS A STRIKER, HE'S TAKING GUYS IN DEEP WATER. HE HASN'T LOST IN 2 1/2 YEARS. HIS STRIKING, CAN HE END THIS FIGHT? CAN HE END MOUSASI IN THIS FIGHT? >> WHEN YOU SAY CAN HE, THAT'S UNLIKELY. HE CAN SCORE POINTS. I THINK HE CAN WIN ON A SYSTEM WITH THE JUDGES. I DON'T KNOW THAT HE CAN PUT GEGARD DOWN. >> I LOVE THE MATCHUP HERE. WE HAVE FORMER CHAMPION WITH GEGARD AND LIMA AND WE HAVE JEN BROWN. >> WHEN I SPOKE WITH DOUGLAS LIMA, HE SAID THIS IS GOING TO BE THE TOUGHEST FIGHT OF HIS CAREER. SOME QUESTION WHY LIMA WOULD TAKE THIS FIGHT AND MOVE TO MIDDLEWEIGHT GIVEN THAT HE'S AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME AS A WELTERWEIGHT. HE SAID THIS FIGHT IS ABOUT HIS LEGACY. HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN AS THE BEST. TO DO THAT, HE HAS TO BEAT THE BEST. WE TALKED ABOUT THE SIZE DIFFERENCE. LIMA SAYS THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL. IT'S NOT A FACT FOR. BUT GEGARD MOUSASI DISAGREES. HE THINKS HE DOES HAVE THE SIZE ADVANTAGE AND IT WILL COME TO FLAY IN THE CLINCH AND ALSO ON THE GROUND. TWO GUYS HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON THE SIZE ADVANTAGE. WE'LL GET THAT ANSWER A LITTLE LATER TONIGHT, GOLDIE. >> CANNOT WAIT. IT WILL BE A MAGNIFICENT MAIN EVENT. GEGARD MOUSASI, DOUGLAS LIMA. BIG JOHN, I WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON BRANDON GERTZ AND HENRY CORRALES. >> I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS WILL BE A BRAWL. BRANDON COMES FORWARD, THROWS BIG SHOTS. CORRALES COMES FOR WAR AND THROWS BIG SHOTS. SOMEBODY WILL GO TO SLEEP. >> FIRST TIME FOR GURTZ. CORRALES SAID DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME. I THOUGHT I CANNOT WAIT. ROSTA WILL COME HARD IN THE FIRST. THIS WILL BE A GREAT FIGHT. >> HIS TEAMMATE, CODY LAW JUST GOT THINGS STARTED IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP, OUR PRELIMINARY FIGHT NUMBER 2. CONTRACTED AT 150 POUNDS. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE. IT IS THE KID AND THE BILL COLLECTOR AND THE KID ADAM BORICS. BIG JOHN IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL. >> THIS IS A GUY THAT UNTIL HIS LOSS AGAINST CALDWELL IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX, UNDEFEATED IN COMBAT SPORTS. HE'S COMING BACK. HE HAS HIMSELF WITH ANOTHER WIN. LET'S SEE IF HE CAN CONTINUE ON. >> OTHER THAN THE AGE, EVERYTHING ELSE IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> THOSE JOINING US WORLDWIDE ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL, WE WELCOME YOU TO THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA. WE'RE SET FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. INTRODUCING THE BLUE CORNER AT 5'10", 150 POUNDS EVEN, HIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD NINE WINS, FIVE LOSSES. HE FIGHTS OUT OF SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, ERICK THE BILL COLLECTOR SANCHEZ. AND ACROSS THE CAGE, OUT OF THE RED CORNER, 5'11", WEIGHING IN AT 149.5 POUNDS, NEAR PERFECT AS A PROFESSIONAL. HE COMES IN WITH 15 VICTORIES, ONE DEFEAT. ORIGINALLY FROM HUNGARY, HE FIGHTS OUT OF FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, THE KID, ADAM BORICS. THE REFEREE IN CHARGE, JOHN ENGLISH. >> THIS FIGHT CONTRACTED AT 150 POUNDS. BORICS, AMATEUR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS COMBINED 30-1. SANCHEZ IN THE BELLATOR CAGE FOR THE SECOND TIME FIRST TIME WAS IN 2015. HERE WE GO! TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. ERICK SANCHEZ IN THE BLUE GLOVES COMES OUT IN THE SOUTHPAW STANCE. RED GLOVES FOR ADAM BORICS. 6-1 INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. >> SPEAKING OF GREAT CAMPS, SANFORD MMA, ADAM BORICS AND ERIC SANCHEZ REPRESENTING TEAM ALPHA MEAL. URIJAH FABER. >> BOTH OF THESE GUYS COME OUT OF BIG-TIME CAMPS. >> I SAID IT. >> YOU DID. THE ONE THING THAT YOU'LL SEE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. I LIKE ERICK SANCHEZ. HE'S A GAMER. HE COMES TO FIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A SPEED DIFFERENCE. ADAM BORICS IS EXCEPTIONALLY FAST. MOST OF ERICK SANCHEZ'S FIGHTS HAVE BEEN IN THE LIGHTWEIGHT. WE'LL SEE IF THE SPEED IS A FACTOR IN THE FIGHT. >> JOSH, PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE AS BORICS AND SANCHEZ WORK HERE IN ROUND 1. YOU WERE ONCE THE YOUNG GUY, THE UP AND COMER AT AKA. THEY HAD THE GREAT COACHES. WHAT MADE YOU GREAT, THE FACT THAT THERE WERE ALL OF THOSE SPECTACULAR FIGHTERS AT AKA ALREADY. >> YEAH, THERE WAS LIKE A LITTLE MINI THERE. BRIAN JOHNSTON HAD FOUGHT IN THE UFC. FRANK SHAMROCK WAS IN THE UFC. B.J. CAME IN. I WAS ALREADY THERE. IT WAS A WAY FOR US, A MELTER POT FOR US TO GET BETTER. WE GREW INTO A FIGHT TEAM AS TIME WENT ON. WE STARTED ELEVATING OUR GAMES TOGETHER. JUST CATAPULTED US TO WHERE YOU SEE RIGHT NOW WITH ADAM BORICS. >> AND YOU HAD YOUNG GUYS THAT YOU KNEW WOULD FIGHT ON THE BIG STAGE. >> THERE'S NO DOUBT. WHEN YOU SEE THESE YOUNG GUYS COME IN -- WE HAD KYLE HERE ON THE ROSTER. HE'S EVOLVED SO MUCH FROM THE LAST TIME HE FOUGHT. YOU JUST WATCHED HIM GROW FROM FIGHT TO FIGHT. YOU DO THINGS IN TRAINING AND THEN IN THE CAGE. IT'S LIKE THERE IT IS. YOU'RE THE ONE I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE. EVERYBODY I TALKED TO HAS SAID THAT ADAM BORICS IS THE FUTURE OF BELLATOR, THE FUTURE OF 145-POUND DIVISION. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THERE'S MOMENTS AND GLIMPSES OF GREATNESS. >> I KNOW BIG JOHN WHEN YOU AND I TALK ABOUT BORICS, YOU SAID AND I QUOTE, HE IS DEFINITELY A FUTURE STAR. THE ONE SETBACK. THAT'S IT. AND THAT IS TO THE FORMER BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION. >> IT'S A MISTAKE. WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND YOU HAVE THE CONFIDENCE LIKE HE DOES, NOBODY IS THAT GOOD COMPARED TO FINALLY FIGHTING SOMEONE LIKE CALDWELL, A CHAMPION WHO IS THAT GOOD AND WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF IT. THIS IS A GOOD FIGHT. SANCHEZ IS TRYING TO BACK BORICS UP. HE KEEPS WORKING AND TRYING TO FORCE HIM BACKWARDS. A GOOD GAME PLAN. THE QUESTION IS CAN HE CONTINUE TO TRY TO DO IT HERE. >> ERICK SANCHEZ, NICKNAMED THE BILL COLLECTOR. HE SAID EVERYONE HAS TO PAY THEIR DUES WITH ME. 90 SECONDS. GOOD COUNTER. NICE SHOULDER BY BORICS. HE DIDN'T TAKE THE FULL PUNCH. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND FIGHTING. I THINK TO MYSELF, WATCHING THESE GUYS, BOTH OF THESE GUYS ARE WAY BETTER THAN I WAS. ITS SO INCREDIBLE TO SEE THE COMBINATION THAT THEY'RE PUTTING TOGETHER, THE WAY THEY PUT TOGETHER THEIR HANDS AND THEIR FEET. SO GOOD. >> THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPORT. THAT'S THE BIG PICTURE PART OF IT. >> LIKE THERE, HE CAUGHT THE KICK. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS A TAKE-DOWN. JUST IMPRESSIVE STUFF. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT EARLY IN MMA WHEN I STARTED, WE WERE DOING THAT. >> BORICS HAS GONE HIGH, NOW HE GOES LOW. JOHN, IT WAS RORY McDONALD AT 16 YEARS OLD. A COUPLE OF GUYS WALKED IN THE GYM AND WENT INTO ALL ASPECTS OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED TO CHANGE AND EVOLVE AT A HIGHER LEVEL. >> YOU KNOW, JOSH IS BEING A LITTLE HUMBLE AS FAR AS HIS ABILITY -- >> NOT ME, BY THE WAY. >> BUT THE EVOLUTION IS THERE. >> BELLATOR'S PROUD TO HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS AT HARTFORD HEALTHCARE. FOR ALL OF OUR COVID-19 TESTING AND SCREENING. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO HARTFORDHEALTHCARE.ORG. WE THANK THE MEN AND WOMEN AT HEARTFORD HEALTHCARE FOR KEEPING US SAFE AS WE HAVE A SPECTACULAR NIGHT OF FIGHTS FOR YOU ONCE AGAIN AT THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA. >> DON'T JUST KICK TO KICK. LOOKING GOOD. YOU SEE THE KNEE, THROW IT. LOOKING SHARP. DEEP BREATH. >> LET'S GO. SECONDS OUT. LET'S GO. COME ON, COACH. >> BORICS, SANCHEZ. ROUND 2. ERICK SANCHEZ MADE HIS BELLATOR DEBUT BACK ON THE CAMPUS OF SAN JOSE STATE IN DECEMBER OF 2015. HE'S HAD SIX FIGHTS SINCE. HE'S BACK IN BELLATOR AND HE WANTS TO MAKE A STATEMENT. ROUND ONE IN THE BOOKS. >> SANCHEZ NEEDS TO STRAIGHTEN SOME OF THOSE SHOTS OUT A LITTLE BIT. HE KEEPS ON WITH THE BIG SHOTS. >> SO WHAT I SAW IN THE FIRST ROUND, ADAM WAS LANDING THE CLEAR SHOTS. HE WAS THROWING ONES AND TWOS. HE NEEDS TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE THREE. I'M LOOKING FOR HIM TO ADD THE THREE. HE WAS LANDING THE ONE AND TWO WITH THE JAB AND THE KICK AND THE RIGHT HAND AND THE KICK OR THROW ONE AND TWO PUNCHES. HE HAS TO PUT THE THIRD BEHIND. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO LAND, YOU STILL NEED TO THROW. >> YOU'RE RIGHT. INSTEAD OF RAW-DOGGING THE KICK, THROWING THE KICK OUT, HE NEEDS TO HIDE THAT KICK. THROW YOUR HANDS AND BRING THAT KICK. MAKE YOUR OPPONENT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HANDS FIRST AND THE KICK WILL LAND WITH MORE POWER. >> JUST LIKE THAT BEFORE HIS LAST KICK. THE ONE BEFORE THAT, HE THREW IT RAW DOG AND SANCHEZ WAS ABLE TO CHECK. HARD CHECK AS WELL. >> ROUND ONE, A TOUGH ONE TO SCORE, BIG JOHN. >> NOT REALLY. IT WAS A GOOD ROUND. BOTH GUYS WERE FIGHTING WELL. THE CLEANER MORE EFFECTIVE SHOTS WERE LANDED BY BORICS. >> SO A 10-9 BORICS ON THE SCORECARD. JOSH, DO YOU AGREE? >> YEAH. IT WAS CLOSE. I'M GOOD WITH BORICS. HE DID HAVE THE TAKE DOWN. LOOKS GOOD. HE MIXED IT UP. >> SO TECHNICALLY YOU WERE A LITTLE NICER ON THE SCORECARD. >> JUST LANDING UNDER THE ARMPIT THERE. >> WATCH OUT FOR ADAM BORICS AND HIS ABILITY TO ELEVATE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE KNEES. >> RIGHT THERE, I WANTED TO ADD THE THREE. HE THREW THE ONE AND THE TWO. HE LANDED THE TWO. >> ONE OF THE THESE HE'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL, HE LANDED THAT TO THE SOLAR PLEXES. THAT WAS A NICE KICK. >> AND THAT WAS A THREE. HE STARTED IT WITH THE HANDS, JOSH. HE WAS ABLE TO LAND THE KICK. SANCHEZ LOOKS VERY COMPOSED. >> THAT SET BORICS IN HIS SEAT A SECOND. >> THE CONFIDENCE OF ERICK SANCHEZ IS GROWING. JUST PASSED THE MIDWAY POINT OF THIS FIGHT CONTRACTED AT 150 POUNDS. >> YOU HAVE TO COME BACK WITH THE TWO AND THE THREE AFTER THAT. >> IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER, SANCHEZ HAS BEEN STOPPED ONE TIME. AND THAT WAS A THIRD ROUND TKO SETBACK. TOUGH MAN TO FINISH. 15 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS HERE INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE TONIGHT HIS SECOND. >> THE ONE-TWO. NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED UP WITH MORE. IT'S CLEAN. >> EVEN IF IT'S A KNEE TO THE BODY OR SOME SORT OF A TAKE DOWN, NEEDS SOMETHING. >> JOHN, A LOT OF THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE MITT WORK. THAT'S MITT WORK TRAINING. DON'T GET COMFORTABLE THROWING THE ONES AND THE TWOS. MIXING IT UP, KICK AND THREE-PUNCH COMBINATION. >> NICE COMBINATION THERE. NICE TAKE DOWN. NICE. >> SANCHEZ HAS BEEN IN THE SOUTHPAW STANCE THE ENTIRE BATTLE THUS FAR. >> HE'S HAVING A LOT OF SUCCESS THOUGH. LANDED HIS COMBINATION. TAKING A LOT OF CLEAN SHOTS IN THIS ROUND. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT STRIKE HAS BEEN SANCHEZ. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE I'LL BOW. THAT WAS OFF OF A 1-2 THAT WAS LANDED BY BORICS. THEN HE STOPPED IN. THAT'S WHEN SANCHEZ LANDED THAT ELBOW. >> BIG JOHN HAD THE SAME EFFECT AS THE ELBOW. ONE-TWO. >> I AGREE. >> NEED SECURITY TO STAND IN BETWEEN JOHN AND JOSH, PLEASE. >> OVERHAND RIGHT THAT SANCHEZ JUST LANDED. ANOTHER ONE THERE. >> ALSO A NICE HOOK TO THE BODY. >> GOOD ROUND TWO FOR ERICK SANCHEZ. >> CLOSE ROUND. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SCORE IT. TALK TO ME, GOOSE. >> THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT -- HERE'S SOME OF THE COMBINATIONS. YOU CAN SEE THE BODY SHOTS LANDED BY BORICS. THE THREE-PUNCH COMBINATION. >> AND CAME BACK -- THERE WAS YOUR ELBOW. YOU SAW THE PUNCHES BY BORICS. DIDN'T HAVE EXACTLY THE AMOUNT THAT I THOUGHT LANDED. DIDN'T STOPPED BORICS AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT IT DID. YOU KNOW, JUST MORE OF THE OH, BECAUSE HE FELT IT. REALLY GOOD ROUND FOR BOTH GUYS. I LIKE THAT SANCHEZ IS NOT ALLOWING BORICS TO DICTATE EXACTLY WHERE THE FIGHT IS. HE'S FIGHTING TO LEAD THAT DANCE. >> A LOT OF THAT IS CONFIDENCE. A LOT OF HYPE AROUND BORICS. WHEN YOU COME IN, YOU THINK TO YOURSELF, THERE'S SO MUCH HYPE AROUND HIM. I HAVE TO GET AFTER IT. YOU'RE HESITANT. THE SECOND ROUND HE'S SHOWING WHAT HE CAN DO. I'M GOING TO SAY 1-1. >> I WAS THINKING YOU MIGHT. >> JOHN IS GOING TO SAY 2-0 BORICS. >> YEP. >> THAT'S WHY FIGHTERS DON'T LIKE LEAVING IT IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. RED GLOVES FOR ADAM BORICS. 6-1 IN THE BELLATOR CAGE. 15-1 OVERALL. BLUE GLOVES FOR ERICK SANCHEZ. OUT OF TEAM ALPHA MALE. COMES OUT ORTHODOX. >> WHEN I SAY IT'S 1-1, THE FIGHTERS ARE GOING TO FIGHT HARDNER THE THIRD. THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW. >> NICE BODY SHOT. LEFT HAND OVER THE TIME BY BORICS LANDING. >> AS A FIGHTER, JOSH, YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S CLOSE IN THE SCORECARDS COULD BE VERY SCARY YOU BETTER HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY IN THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. >> THE FIGHTERS KNOW WHEN IT'S CLOSE. THE COACHES ARE THERE. THEY SAY HEY, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT ROUND WENT. THEY ARE HONEST WITH THEM. SOMETIMES WE HEAR OTHERWISE. BUT WHEN YOU COME FROM TWO GREAT CAMPS LIKE THEY ARE, THEY'RE BEING HONEST WITH THEM. YOU DON'T DEVELOP GOOD FIGHTERS WITHOUT BEING HONEST WITH THEM IN THE CORNER AND AS A COACH. >> YOU'RE IN A FIGHT LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR FIGHTER YOU HAVE TO WIN THIS ROUND. NICE KNEE INSIDE. A LITTLE GROIN SHOT. THAT WAS OFF OF THE MOTIONS BY BORICS. >> TAKE YOUR TIME. MAKE SURE YOU'RE READY. GOOD? TIME WHEN WE'RE READY. ACCIDENTAL. LET'S GO, GUYS. >> JOHN ENGLISH GETS THINGS GOING. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. BACK IN BELLATOR, ERICK SANCHEZ. HE'S COMFORTABLE WITH THE STAND-UP GAME. HE'S LOOKED GOOD. >> GOING BACK TO UTILIZING THE JAB. HE HAS A VERY NICE SHARP STIFF JAB. >> HE SAID ENJOY WATCHING THE FLYING KID FLY AND MAKE HUNGARY PROUD. WE'VE SEEN HIM ELEVATE A COUPLE TIMES IN THE THIRD ROUND. >> I'D LOVE TO SEE SANCHEZ STRAIGHTEN SOME OF THOSE SHOTS OUT. NICE BODY SHOT BY BORICS. >> LANDING THE BODY SHOT. COME BACK WITH AND OVERHAND ELBOW OR ELBOW OR SOME SORT OF LEFT HOOK AFTER THAT? >> THAT BODY SHOT IS STARTING TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON SANCHEZ. BORICS LANDED THAT CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT. >> IT WAS STRAIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY -- WHEN HE THROWS STRAIGHT, HE'S LANDING. >> JOHN, YOU SAID AT TIMES HE TENDS TO LOOP THE RIGHT HAND. WHEN IT'S ON THAT STRAIGHT PATH, HE'S DELIVERING PUNISHMENT. >> YEAH. >> SWITCHES TO SOUTHPAW. NICE KNEE UP THE MIDDLE. BRINGS THE GLOVE. DIFFERENT CATCH IT CLEAN. GIVES SANCHEZ ANOTHER THING TO WORRY ABOUT AND THINK ABOUT AS THEY'RE PUTTING THE COMBINATION TOGETHER. THIS IS THE STORY OF THE FIGHT. THE 1-2 LANDS. RIGHT THERE. >> BEAUTIFUL UPPERCUT. >> THE 3-4. THIS IS -- >> THE UPPERCUT WAS BIG. GOOD UPPERCUT TO THE BODY. NICE WORK IN THE CLINCH. >> TWO MINUTES. >> I LIKE THE WAY WHEN BORICS WENT AFTER SANCHEZ. HE TOOK AWAY THE FLYING KNEE ATTEMPT. THAT UPPERCUT THAT BORICS LANDED HAS HAD AN EFFECT IN THIS FIGHT. >> 1:45. GETTING TIRED RIGHT NOW. CLEAN, HEAVY SHOTS. >> TOOK ANOTHER SHOT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE JAW. >> THE BODY SHOT. >> WHEN SOMEONE IS HANGING ON YOU LIKE BORICS IS HANGING ON SANCHEZ, MAKES YOU MORE TIRED. >> THIS PRESSURE RIGHT NOW IS JUST EATING SANCHEZ UP. HE'S TRYING TO RECOVER. HE'S TRYING TO FIND HIS SPACE. SO HE CAN TRY TO THROW SOMETHING BACK. HE'S JUST NOT FINDING IT RIGHT NOW. >> TWO NICE ELBOWS BY BORICS. GOOD JOB. I LIKE THIS ALSO, TOO. TRYING TO HANG ON WHILE YOU'RE TIRED. YOU CAN TELL BORICS IS TIRED. >> YOU GET YOUR AIR THAT WAY. NICE! >> BORICS JUST FOUGHT HERE AUGUST 7. TWO MONTHS, 22 DAYS AGO. EARNED HIMSELF A SPLIT DECISION WIN OVER MIKE HAMMEL. HE HAS THE FULL MOUND HERE. 45 SECONDS REMAINING IN THIS FIGHT. >> OH, NASTY ELBOW THERE. NICE PUSH ON THE FACE. SANCHEZ TRYING TO PUSH THE HAND-OFF. HE FALLS DOWN ON THE ELBOW. >> THE ARM BAR. >> LOOKING TO GET IT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. >> TWIST THAT THUMB UP. THAT'S TIGHT, JOHN. >> IT'S ON. SANCHEZ BEING TOUGH. HE NEEDS TO WRAP IT UP THE ARM TO CREATE MORE PRESSURE. NICE JOB. HE SHUFFLED OUT. GOING TO THE TRIANGLE. NOT MAKING IT. >> GREAT TRANSITION BY BOTH FIGHTERS. THAT CHECK IS IN. NOT ENOUGH TIME. >> ONLY ONE ARM. >> FINAL SECONDS OF THE FIGHT. THEY GO THE DISTANCE. >> GREAT FIGHT. >> BIG THIRD ROUND FOR ADAM BORICS. ERICK SANCHEZ SHOWED US A LITTLE BIT SOMETHING. >> SHOWED ME A LOT. >> HE LOOKED GREAT. >> GREAT FIGHT. THAT ARM BAR WAS TIGHT. >> THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE THAT ARM BAR IN THAT POSITION AND YOU BRING IT BACK AND IT'S AGAINST YOUR BODY, YOU HAVE EITHER GOT TO MAKE THOSE HIPS CREATE THAT PRESSURE AND EXTEND IT MORE OR CHANGE IT UP AND BRING IT TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN ADD MORE LEVERAGE. BEAUTIFUL RIGHT HAND BY BORICS LANDING. THIS IS AFTER BORICS HAD HEARD HIM. YOU SAW SANCHEZ STARTING TO RETREAT, TRYING TO GET A LITTLE SPACE, A LITTLE TIME TO COLLECT HIMSELF. KNEES INSIDE. BIG ELBOWS HERE. WATCH THE ELBOW. I DON'T CARE WHERE IT HITS. WHEN I HITS YOU IN THE SKULL, IT RATTLES YOUR DOME. HERE'S WHEN BORICS GOES. HE GOES FOR THE ARM BAR. HE'S GOT THAT. IT'S TIGHT. HE NEEDS TO ADJUST THE THUMB AND FIND THE PLACE WHERE HE CAN CREATE A LITTLE BIT MORE LEVERAGE. >> HE HAS TO SQUEEZE HIS KNEES TIGHTER. KEEPS SANCHEZ FROM WIGGLING HIS BODY AND GETTING IN THE HITCHHIKER POSITION AND GET OUT. >> ALL RIGHT, JOHN. HOW DID YOU CALL IT? >> SIMPLE. BORICS IS GOING TO GO TO 16-1. >> 30-27. >> YEAH, I HAVE IT 30-27. I THOUGHT SANCHEZ FOUGHT WELL BUT HE DIDN'T LAND ENOUGH OF THE CLEAN SHOTS COMPARED TO BORICS. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY SANCHEZ FOUGHT. HE CAME OUT TO WIN. I LOVE WHEN I SEE A GUY COMING OUT SAYING I'M NOT GIVING YOU ANYTHING. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOUR RECORD IS. I'M COMING TO BEAT YOU. >> YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUES. THAT'S WHY HE'S THE BILL COLLECTOR. THIS IS WHY HE'S THE VOICE. MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HAVING GONE THE DISTANCE, WE'LL GO TO THE THREE JUDGES AT CAGESIDE. YOUR FIRST, PETER ROGER SCORES IT 29-28. THE OTHER TWO JUDGES SEE IT THE SAME, 30-27. ALL HAVE IT FOR THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, THE KID, ADAM BORICS. >> SO YOU WERE BOTH RIGHT. >> NO. >> QUIT TRYING TO OVER DO IT. >> THIS IS WHAT WE DO. >> THESE TWO NEED TO JUST KIND OF LIKE CALM DOWN. ADAM BORICS, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WIN BY UNANIMOUS DECISION. >> GOLD IS ON THE LINE TONIGHT FOR THE VACANT MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD. WE HAVE DOUGLAS LIMA MOVING UP FROM WELTER WEIGHT TO TRY TO BECOME ANOTHER BELLATOR CHAMP. JAY GLAZER, A GREAT FIGHT HERE. WE HAD ADAM BORICS. >> I FEEL LIKE IT WAS FORESHADOWING. BORICS AND SANCHEZ. THAT'S WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH CORRALES. WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT UP IN SOMEBODY FALLS DOWN. >> AND GURTZ AND CORRALES. THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING FIGHT. >> YEAH. EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU GET ONE THAT MAKES SENSE ON PAPER. ONE PULLS THE DOUBLE CROTCH. EXCUSE ME. I WILL GUARANTEE YOU NEITHER ONE OF THESE GUYS GOES OFF SCRIPT. THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THEIR FOOT ON THE LINE AND START PUNCHING. >> AND CORRALES, ANY TIME HE GETS IN THERE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. HE'S GOING TO LOOK TO TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF. HE THROWS TO GO. >> CORRALES HAS TEETH THAT ARE REMOVED, JAY. HE GOES AS PART OF HIS PREFIGHT RITUAL AND HAS THEM REMOVED. I OFFER YOU THAT BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO. >> FOR MORE ON THE MATCHUP, BACK OUT TO JEN BROWN. >> LET'S NOT FORGET THAT BRANDON IS MOVING DOWN TO TAKE THIS FIGHT. I ASKED HIM ABOUT. HE SAID I LOVE A GOOD CHALLENGE. THAT'S WHY HE ASKED FOR THIS FIGHT AGAINST HENRY CORRALES. HE SAID I KNOW HE'S A BRAWLER AND WILL COME FORWARD. AND HE'S THE TOUGHEST GUY IN THE DIVISION. CORRALES SAID HE WAS SALIVATING AT THE IDEA OF TAKING ON GURTZ. HE SAID I FELT LIKE I PLAYED IT SAFE. TONIGHT I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY IT SAFE. HE WANTS TO LET HIS HANDS GO. BIG JOHN, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU THIS QUESTION. DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE FIGHT OF THE NIGHT? >> ABSOLUTELY. WE TALKED ABOUT IT. THIS HAS FIGHT OF THE NIGHT ALL OVER IT. BOTH GUYS JUST COME FORWARD AND THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY THAT HAS TO GIVE. I DON'T THINK EITHER ONE IS GOING TO. GOING TO BE GREAT. >> BITE DOWN ON THE THE MOUTHPIECE AND LET IT FLY. ALL RIGHT. WE CONTINUE WITH OUR PRELIMS. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCHUP. JOHNNY EBLEN, THE KOREAN IS CANELLO, 6-0. TAYLOR TOMBSTONE JOHNSON, 6-1. >> THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOOK AT HERE, I HAVE TWO INCHES OF DIFFERENCE. EVERYTHING IS BASICALLY VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. >> THERE YOU GO, BABY. >> MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> FROM MOHEGAN SUN ARENA, WE WELCOME THOSE JOINING US AT CBS SPORTS.COM. THE BELLATOR 250 PRELIMS CONTINUE. AT 5'11", WEIGHING IN 185.3 POUNDS, HIS RECORD, SIX WINS, ONE LOSS. FIGHTING OUT OF SISTERS, OREGON, TOMBSTONE TAYLOR JOHNSON. ACROSS THE CAGE, HIS ADVERSARY, WEIGHING IN AT 185 POUNDS EVEN, PROFESSIONAL RECORD UNDEFEATED, SIX VICTORIES, NO LOSSES. BY WAY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, HE FIGHTS OUT OF COCONUT CREEK, FLORIDA, JOHNNY THE KOREAN EBLEN. IN CHARGE, YOUR REFEREE, KEVIN McDONALD. >> THIS IS TAYLOR JOHNSON AGAINST ED RUTH, THREE-TIME NCAA 2 CHAMPION OUT OF PENN STATE. WATCH HIM GO FOR THIS LEG. HE STARTS TO CONTROL IT. HE GETS A HEEL HOOK AND TAPS ED RUTH OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND. WE FOE HE'S A GOOD WRESTLER AND HE HAS A GOOD LEG LOCK GAME. SHOULD BE A GREAT FIGHT WITH JOHNNY EBLEN. >> THAT WAS HIS BELLATOR DEBUT 49 DAYS AGAINST. TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. RED GLOVES FOR EBLEN AND BLUE GLOVES FOR JOHNSON. >> A LOT DIFFERENT APPROACH FOR JOHNSON VERSUS THE ED RUTH FIGHT. >> JUST A LITTLE. >> THIS WAS THE TAYLOR JOHNSON I THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE AGAINST ED RUTH AND DIDN'T HAPPEN. >> JOHNNY EBLEN HAS WRESTLING SKILLS. >> THEY BOTH HAVE THEM. THEY BOTH WRESTLED AT MAJOR UNIVERSITYS. EBLEN COMING OUT OF MISSOURI. WE KNOW A LOT OF GUYS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF MISSOURI THAT HAVE HAD INCREDIBLE MMA CAREERS. SO JUST A COUPLE. >> A COUPLE. >> COUPLE WORLD CHAMPIONS. >> LONGEST FIGHT OF TOMATO STORE'S TAYLOR, SIX MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS. THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE HIS PROFESSIONAL DEBUT IN WHICH HE WON. >> VERY NICE PRESSURE HERE BY EBLEN. DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK. HE WANTS TO REACH FOR THE ARM THAT YOU SEE JOHNSON POSTING. >> REACHING IN WITH BOTH HANDS. HE'S LOOKING FOR IT THAT WILL BRING TAYLOR JOHNSON DOWN. ABLE TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET. NICE JOB OF CONTROLLING THE LEG BY EBLEN. >> WHAT EBLEN NEEDS TO DO, PULL AWAY. HE CAN HOOK AND SAG ON THE BODY. TRY TO GET TAYLOR JOHNSON TO BASICALLY SAG TO THE GROUND. >> SOMETIMES BOUNCE HIM OFF OF THAT CAGE. YOU CAN USE THE PRESSURE THAT HE'S TRYING TO GET. >> SOME JUDO GUYS WILL DO THAT. BOUNCE HIM OFF THE CAGE. >> THE KOREAN CANELLO, JOHNNY EBLEN, ALL FOUR OF HIS PROFESSIONAL FINISHES HAVE COME IN THE FIRST ROUND. BLUE GLOVES FOR JOHNSON, RED FOR EBLEN. >> >> PART OF AMERICAN TOP TEAM. EBLEN MADE IT DOWN TO SOUTH FLORIDA. 6-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. EBLEN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF LOCKING HIS HANDS. TAYLOR JOHNSON HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET THOSE APART ONCE HE'S DECIDED TO HOLD ON. THAT'S WHAT HAS ALLOWED HIM TO CONTROL TAYLOR JOHNSON THIS ENTIRE TIME UP AGAINST THE CAGE HERE. >> EBLEN 3-0 AS AN AMATEUR. COMBINED 9-0 IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. TAYLOR JOHNSON HAS ONE AMATEUR FIGHT IN WHICH HE WON BY A SECOND ROUND KNOCKOUT. >> THIS IS A VERY GOOD MATCHUP. 185. >> BOTH GUYS ARE SHOWING THAT THEIR GRAPPLING EXPERIENCE IS WAY ABOVE WHAT MOST GUYS HAVE. THEY'RE BOTH BACK AND FORTH. YOU CAN SEE EBLEN BRINGING HIM DOWN. JOHNSON RIGHT AWAY JUST GETTING HIMSELF BACK TO A POSITION WHERE HE GETS BACK TO HIS FEET OR USE THE FENCE. >> EBLEN DOING A GOOD JOB. BE HOOKING THAT LOOK. SAGGING ON IT. EVERY TIME JOHNSON HAS TO GET UP, HE HAS TO CARRY HIS BODY TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET. IT'S PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING TO HAVE TO KEEP GETTING UP AND KEEP GETTING UP. AS MUCH AS I SAY IT'S EXHAUSTING FROM THE BOTTOM, IT'S MORE EXHAUSTING FOR THE PERSON TO KEEP RETURNING THEM TO THE MAT. >> YEAH. YOU'RE LIFTING UP A 200-POUND MAN. >> SMART. >> FOLLOWING OUR MAIN EVENT, CBS SPORTS NETWORK SWITCHES OVER TO THE GRID IRON FOR MOUNTAIN WEST ACTION. COLORADO STATE BATTLES FRESNO STATE. CATCH IT ALL ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, THE 24-HOUR HOME OF CBS SPORTS. >> YOU CAN TELL BOTH GUYS ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR WIND. >> BIG SHOT. >> MORE OFF BATTLES THAN ANYTHING. >> FINAL SECONDS OF A BACK IN FIRST, FIRST ROUND OF ACTION. BACK AND FORTH. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SANFORD HEALTH, YOU'RE COMING UP WITH A NEW. NOW IT'S WE'RE BACK IN FIRST. >> WE'RE BACK IN FIRST. >> I JUST CAN'T -- >> SOMEONE HAS TO SEPARATE YOU GUYS. >> THAT IS AN EXHAUSTING ROUND FOR BOTH FIGHTERS. BOTH GUYS PUT A LOT OF ENERGY IN THE FIRST ROUND, JOSH. >> YEAH, A LOT OF PRESSURE. THAT WOULD WIN EBLEN THE ROUND. IT WASN'T SO CONVINCING TO ME. HOW DO YOU JUDGE THE ROUNDS? NOT A LOT OF STRIKES LANDED. GREAT CONTROL. >> DEFINITELY NOT. WHAT WERE THEY DOING? WE TALKING ABOUT GRAPPLING. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS IN A GRAPPLING FORM, INSTEAD OF A LOT OF STRIKING, WE HAD A LOT OF GRAPPLING. JOHNNY EBLEN WON THE GRAPPLING SECTION OF THAT ROUND. HE HAD THE TAKE DOWNS EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T TAKE-DOWNS. A COUPLE OF THEM, GOT THEM UP, ELEVATED THEM, BROUGHT THEM DOWN HARD. EBLEN ABSOLUTELY WINS THE ROUND. BUT TAYLOR JOHNSON, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS COME BACK AND FIGHT HIS FIGHT AND IT'S EVEN. >> AND DISCUSSION WILL CONTINUE WHEN WE COME BACK ON WEIGHING IN WITH BIG JOHN McCARTHY AND JOSH THOMPSON. ROUND TWO. >> I LIKE THAT. >> OH, BIG RIGHT HAND BY JOHNSON. THAT HURT, JOHNNY. >> HE'S STILL HURT. THREE NICE SHOTS IN A ROW. ANOTHER. >> NASTY. BEAUTIFUL JOB BY TAYLOR. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. ALL THAT WORK. TAKES A GOOD ROUND HERE AND HE'S HURT EBLEN EARLY ON. >> AND COME OUT ULTRA AGGRESSIVELY. >> NICE JOB GETTING HIS HEAD HIGH. >> THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO SETTLE. >> NO. YOU'RE LETTING HIM GET HIS WITS BACK. >> TAYLOR JOHNSON, THE PAST SIX MINUTES IN HIS CAREER. THAT BEING SAID, THE EXCHANGE IN THE BEGINNING WHERE HE LANDED THE SHOTS, HOW MUCH ENERGY DID HE USE. NOW HE'S SUCKING WIND A LITTLE BIT. >> HE'S AT 6 RIGHT NOW. 6:34 IN HIS LONGEST FIGHT. >> WATCH THE PROFESSIONAL DEBUT. >> JUST LIKE IN WRESTLING, JOHN, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOREHEAD OFF THE MEET. KEEP IT OFF THE CANVAS. GET YOUR HEAD HIGH, CHIN TUCKED. GET BACK TO YOUR FEET. JOHNSON NEEDS TO DO THAT. OTHERWISE, HE'S CARRYING THE WEIGHT. >> THIS IS A GREAT TURN-AROUND FIGHT. JOHNNY EBLEN GETTING ON TOP, GETTING HIS WITS BACK AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CONTROL. >> THEY'RE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. >> MUCH TO YOUR POINT, BIG HEAVY BREATHS BEING TAKEN BY TOMBSTONE TAYLOR JOHNSON. LONGEST FIGHT OF HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. >> HEAD OFF THE CANVAS. >> STOP PUTTING THE FOREHEAD DOWN ON THE THE CANVAS. >> HE HAS TO WORK HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET. KNEES SLIGHT FORWARD, GET BACK UP. >> YOU CAN FEEL IT HERE. I'M THINKING TO MYSELF -- >> HURTS. >> I HATE THOSE FEELINGS. I WALK PAST THE CAGE AND I HEAR HIM BEING PUNCH AND HIT. WHY DID I DO THAT FOR SO MANY YEARS? >> JOHNNY, IF HE CAN GET THE LEFT LEG, HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE HOOK IN AND WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM IN MAINTAINING POSITION ON TAYLOR JOHNSON'S BACK. >> TAYLOR NEEDS TO GET HIS HIPS CLOSER TO THE FENCE. BRING THE RIGHT ANKLE CLOSER AND WORK HIS WAY UP. >> GET THE LEFT ARM. >> NOW BACK UP. AS SOON AS YOUR KNEES HIT, YOU HAVE TO STAY TIGHT AND POP BACK UP. THESE ARE THINGS THAT WRESTLERS WILL PRACTICE IN THE WRESTLING ROOM. MMA FIGHTERS GET AWAY FROM THAT STUFF. THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE DRILLING IT. AS SOON AS YOU GET TAKEN DOWN, THE RETURN RIGHT THERE SHOULD BE POPPING UP. >> HE HAS TO BE VERY CAREFUL OF HIS LEGS HERE. NICE JOB. HE'S FIGURE FOURED HIS LEG. KEEPING JOHNSON FROM EXTENDING THAT OUT. FIGURE OUT WHERE DO I NEED TO GO FROM HERE. TAYLOR IS LOOKING TOWARDS A TOE HOLD. DECIDED AGAINST THAT. >> THAT WOULD TURN INTO A KNEE BAR. >> BACK TO THE TOP. NOW WHAT JOHNSON NEEDS TO DO IS SIT ON HIM. MAKE HIM CARRY HIS WEIGHT. NOT A LOT EBLEN CAN DO FROM THIS POSITION. >> SO YOU HEAR TAYLOR JOHNSON'S CORNER SAY STAY ON TOP. WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS THROW THE RIGHT LEG OVER THE HEAD. IF HE CAN DO THAT, HE WILL FACE IT. HE'S NOT ABLE TO DO IT. EBLEN CAME BACK TO THE LEGS. >> GOOD COMPOSURE HERE IN ROUNDS 2 FROM JOHNNY EBLEN. JOHNSON CAME OUT LOOKING TO FINISH IT QUICKLY. EBLEN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WEATHERING THE STORM AND HAS CONTROLLED ROUND TWO. >> DOESN'T REALLY MATTER HOW GREAT OF CONDITIONING YOU HAVE. EVERY TIME YOU CARRY SOMEONE'S WEIGHT, YOU GET MORE TIRED AND MORE FASTER. WE'RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW. REAL HARD CLEAN SHOTS IN THIS ROUND. HE'S GETTING THE TURN TO THE MAT. EVERY TIME HE GETS LEFTED AROUND RETURNED, HIS BODY GETS LONGER INSTEAD OF POPPING UP IN A BALL. >> EVERY TIME HE'S PICKED UP AND DROPPED OFF, THE ENERGY BAR STARTS TO WILT. >> LIKE A VIDEO GAME. >> BOTH GUYS TALKING. YOU HEAR TAYLOR JOHNSON RESPONDING TO US. >> THEY CAN HEAR YOU, GUYS. >> THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX IS BACK. LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. NOVEMBER 12, TWO DIVISION BURGLAR CHAMPION PATRICIO PITBULL DEFENDS HIS 145-POUND CROWN AGAINST SPG IRELAND'S PEDRO CAVALLO. AND THEN NOVEMBER 19, FORMER BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION, DARIAN CALDWELL MEETS RISING STAR A.J. McKEY. ONE MORE STEP TO THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX FINALS AND $1 MILLION. >> HERE'S THE START OF THIS ROUND. BEAUTIFUL STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND BY TAYLOR JOHNSON HANDS FLUSH. YOU CAN SEE THE IMPACT ON EBLEN. HE GETS A LITTLE BIT OF THE STANKY LEG. HE GETS HURT AGAIN. DID A GREAT JOB OF RECOVERING AND FROM THAT POINT, JOSH, HE WAS THE ONE IN CONTROL OF THAT FIGHT. >> WHAT HAPPENED IS TAYLOR JOHNSON SMOTHERED A LOT OF HIS SHOTS. WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS THEY HAD ON THE OFFICIAL INITIAL SHOT. >> GUYS, YOU NEVER KNOW HOW A WEIGHT CUT GOES FOR A FIGHTER. OFTENTIMES THAT CAN HAVE AN EFFECT. >> THEY'LL TELL YOU. >> THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. >> BOTH GUYS WITH TRIPS ON THAT. THAT WAS NICE BY BOTH. >> THIS IS NOT WHERE TAYLOR JOHNSON WANTED TO BE. >> THIS IS A BAD PLACE FOR HIM TO BE RIGHT NOW. ON HIS BACK, UP AGAINST THE CAGE. A LITTLE TIRED. TURNING, TRYING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET. HE'S NEVER STOPPED WORKING TO GET HIMSELF UP. SO VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH ALL OF THE PRESSURE THAT EBLEN HAS PUTS ON. >> I FEEL LIKE JOHNSON HAS THE BETTER STANDUP AND THE MORE POWERFUL STANDUP. SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIMSELF AT DISTANCE. INSTEAD, THE FLYING KNEE. PUT HIMSELF IN RANGE TO CLINCH. JOHN, WE TALK ABOUT FIGHT I.Q. YOUR CORNER SHOULD HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU, KEEP THE DISTANCE. OKAY? YOU HAVE THE STRAIGHTER PUNCHES. YOUR DOING MORE DAMAGE ON THE FEET. KEEP THIS ON THE FEET. IF THINGS GO SOUTH, TRY TO WRESTLE AS WELL. >> YOU CAN SAY THAT. YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT. YOU HAVE THE BIGGER POWER. YOU HEARD IT. HE KNOW THAT'S YOU CAN HURT HIM. THAT WILL MAKE HIM A LITTLE BIT LESS ANXIOUS TO COME FORWARD ON YOU. >> EBLEN HAS EMBRACED THE GRIND IS WHAT HE'S DONE. JUST TRYING TO BREAK DOWN HIS OPPONENT SYSTEMATICALLY. HE SAID IN HIS UNANIMOUS DECISION WHEN BACK IN BELLATOR 229 WHEN HE ASSESSED IT, HE SAID HIS PACE AND HIS GRACE SHOWED HIM THAT FIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE WITH THREE MINUTES ON THE CLOCK IN ROUND THREE. >> THERE YOU GO HE'S GOT THE NICE LEFT HOOK. THAT WILL KEEP HIM ON. EBLEN HAS GOT BACK TO HIS ROOTS. IF YOU WATCH THE PROGRESSION OF HIS MMA CAREER, HE'S GOTTEN INTO BEING A STANDUP GUY. LIKE HIM TO STAND UP, LIKE HIM TO BE A GUY THAT IS CONTROLLING, YOU KNOW, WHERE THAT FIGHT HAPPENS IN THE CAGE. HE'S GONE RIGHT BACK AGAINST TAYLOR JOHNSON TO HIS ROOTS AND HIS WRESTLING IS SHINING HERE TONIGHT. >> WE SAW WHY EARLY IN THE SECOND ROUND. HE KNEW TAYLOR JOHNSON IS DANGEROUS ON THE FEET AND EVERYWHERE. YOU TONIGHT KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME. WHEN YOU FIGHT SOMEBODY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PUNCHES ARE COMING FROM, IT'S BETTER TO PLAY IT SOFT. TAKE YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU GET TIRED. >> NICE ROLL THROUGH BUT TAYLOR JOHNSON GOING FOR THE LEG. YOU CAN GET STUCK IN THAT POSITION. >> TAYLOR JOHNSON STARTED HIS GRAPPLING TRAINING. A LATE BLOCKERS AS HE TOLD US BEFORE. WATCH YOUR LEG IF YOU'RE IN THERE WITH TOMBSTONE. >> GET INTO A LEG-LOCKING COMPETITION, HAVING DEAN LISTER ON YOUR SIDE IS GOING TO HELP YOU WIN. >> AN ACE THAT THE HOLE TO HAVE LISTER AROUND. >> UNDER TWO MINUTES. >> YOU CAN GO BACK TO JOHN AND THE GUYS THAT HE'S TRAINING. GRACIE TAPPING OUT. JOHN FITCH IN HIS RETIREMENT FIGHT WITH A LEG LOCK. ALL OF THAT STARTED BASED UPON DEAN LISTER WHEN JOHN DANAHER IS WORKING OUT WITH HIM. DEAN SAID WHY WOULD YOU FORGET 50% OF THE BODY? >> THOSE ARE NASTY. >> THEY ARE. >> AMERICAN TOP TEAM SOUTH FLORIDA AGAINST AMERICAN TOP TEAM, THE AFFILIATE IN PORTLAND. EBLEN AND JOHNSON. ONE MINUTE ON THE CLOCK. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. >> I WANT TO SEE MORE SENSE OF URGENCY OUT OF TAYLOR JOHNSON. >> HE HAS TO DO SOMETHING IN THIS POSITION. IT'S EITHER GET GOING -- GETTING YOURSELF BACK TO THE FEET OR THE SUBMISSION. YOU CAN'T STAY ON YOUR BACK. >> 45. 45. >> DURING THESE EXCHANGES AND EVERY TIME HE GETS BACK UP, NO HAND FIGHTING, NO WRIST CONTROL. >> HE NEVER GOTTEN THE LEFT ARM UNDER. >> NICE ROLL THROUGH. >> NICE FREE SHOT BY EBLEN. >> ABSOLUTELY. GETTING THE LEG. NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL. >> 20 SECONDS A LOT OF TIME. >> THERE IT IS. >> TRYING TO STRETCH IT OUT. >> 15. >> UNABLE TO STRETCH IT OUT AT THIS TIME. IF HE DOES -- >> HE HAS A HEEL HOOK. >> STILL DOESN'T HAVE IT. >> BREAK IT. >> IT'S TIGHT. >> HIPS. >> GOING TO EXTEND IT. FINAL SECONDS. >> NICE JOB. >> HE SURVIVES. >> THEY GO THE DISTANCE. JOHNNY EBLEN AND TAYLOR JOHNSON. >> A LOT OF RESPECT SHOWN BETWEEN THOSE TWO GUYS. THAT WAS JUST GOOD COMPETITION. YOU CAN SEE LITTLE DIFFERENCES. THE ATTEMPTS BY TAYLOR JOHNSON. HE WENT AFTER IT. >> THE STORY OF THE NIGHT WAS THE WRESTLING. THE BETTER EXCHANGES, THE BETTER WAY OF UTILIZING HIS HIPS. KEEPING CONTROL FROM THE TOP. GOOD JOB. >> MIKE BROWN, ONE OF HIS COACHES AND THE GREATS AT AMERICA TOP TEAM. THE KOREAN CANELLO LOOKING TO REMAIN UNBEATEN IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. THE MISSOURI STATE CHAMPION WHO EARNED 87 COLLEGIATE WINS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. >> YOU KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO PUT YOUR SHIRT ON AFTER A FIGHT, YOU'RE SWEATING? YOU'RE EXHAUSTED. YOU'RE THINKING CAN'T WE LEAVE IT OFF? >> YEAH, IT PAYS. >> THE ADVERTISER WANTS IT ON. >> THE JUDGES HAVE RENDERED THEIR DECISION. HERE'S MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR THE DECISION, WE GO THE THREE JUDGES CAGE SIDE. 29-28, TWO JUDGES AT 27. ALL HAVE IT BY WINNER OF UNANIMOUS DECISION, JOHNNY THE KOREAN CANELLO EBLEN. >> 3-0 IN BELLATOR. 7-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. UNANIMOUS DECISION VICTORY. CONGRATULATIONS JOHNNY EBLEN. LATER TONIGHT ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, OUR MAIN EVENT FOR THE MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. MOUSASI AND LIMA. LET'S GET THE GANGSTER'S THOUGHT ON GEGARD AND THE PHEMON. >> THIS HAS TO BE THE CLOSEST THING TO A SUPER FIGHT YOU CAN GET. DON'T FORGET, LIMA IS THE REIGNING WORLD CHAMPION. GEGARD IS ONE MATCH REMOVED FROM BEING THE SITTING RAINING WORLD CHAMPION, RIGHT? HIS LAST FIGHT WAS FOR THE TITLE AND THE ATHLETES THAT LEFT WITH THAT TITLE HAS LEFT THE SPORT. IT'S GEGARD. YES, I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE GOING TO FIGHT FOR A VACATED TITLE, BUT I THINK IN MANY WAYS, UNTIL YOU BEAT GEGARD, GEGARD IS THE GUY. I THINK GEGARD HAS A CONFIDENCE AND SOMETIMES THAT IS MISTAKE FOR AN ARROGANCE. HE'S BEEN ABOUT THIS A LONG TIME. EVERY ORGANIZATION, TRAINED WITH EVERYBODY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMEBODY LIKE LIMA THAT CAME THROUGH A TOURNAMENT AND YOU COME THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, PARTICULARLY THE PATH THAT HE HAD, THERE'S NO WAY TO DENY IT. HE SHOWED HE CAN DO EVERYTHING. WHAT IS DIFFERENT NOW? HE SAID MENTALLY I USED TO ALWAYS HAVE A FEAR OF EXHAUSTION. AND I JUST MADE A DEAL WITH MYSELF THAT I WILL NO LONGER FEAR BEING TIRED. I'M TIRED MEANS HE'S TIRED. I'M GOING HARD IN EVERY POSITION. AS SIMPLE AS THAT SOUNDS, I WATCHED IT HAPPEN AND I WATCHED IT TAKE A GOOD FIGHTER TO A CHAMPION. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE EXCITED FOR THIS KIND OF EVENT? YOU HAVE LIMA WHO IS THE FACE OF THE ORGANIZATION. HE WILL TAKE ON MOUSASI WHO NOBODY WANTS TO FIGHT. BY THE WAY, WE GET TO FILL THE VOID OF THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS. >> MAGNIFICENT MATCHUP IN OUR MAIN EVENT. LATER TONIGHT, LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK.

LIKE HE'S DOING RIGHT NOW, LANDING THAT BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE LEG KICK. NICE POWER. BOBBY VOELKER IS A VETERAN. HE'S SMART. YOU NEED TO DO YOUR THING. DON'T WORRY ABOUT GETTING FANCY. BE BASIC. EAT HIM UP. MAKE HIM HURT AND START TO OPEN UP ON HIM. >> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BASICS, JOHN, CHECKING AND KICK IS BASIC. OTHER WEIGHT, A SHORT NIGHT FOR VOELKER. >> I'VE NONE BOBBY VOELKER A LONG TIME. IT'S HAVING SEVERE EFFECTS ON HIM. >> THE FOURTH ONE THAT HAS LANDED ON HIM. >> ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE ON THE LEAD LEG. >> LIKE I SAID, I KNOW BOBBY VOELKER A LONG TIME. HE FOUGHT AT STRIKE FORCE. HE WILL TAKE A LOT OF SHOTS AND WILL STILL BE THERE THE SECOND AND THE THIRD ROUND. SO HOMASI BETTER MAKE SURE HIS CONDITION IS ON POINT AND HE FIGHTS A SMART FIGHT. >> YOU SAW BOBBY SWITCHING STANCE. HE'S THE GUY THAT CANNOT SWITCH STANCE. HE DOES NOT FIGHT THE SAME IN THE SOUTHPAW STANCE AS HE DOES FROM THE ORTHODOX STANCE.

CAN'T STAY THERE MUCH LONGER. WHEN HE GETS IN THERE, HE HAS TO THROW, NOT COVER UP. >> BOBBY NEEDS TO PUSH THIS IN A BOXING RANGE. SEE HIM SWITCHING BACK TO THE SOUTHPAW. HE'S TELLING YOU HOW BAD THAT LEG FEELS. >> BORN AND RAISED IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. VICIOUS BOBBY VOELKER. I'VE SEEN A FIGHT VERY SIMILAR TO THIS AT ONE TIME. ROBBY LAUER AND MELVIN MANOFF. >> AND LOLLER FOUGHT BOBBY IN UFC. >> ON TWO WEEKS NOTICE, JOSH. >> BACK IN 2013. >> THAT LEG IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR MUCH LONGER. >> IT'S GOING TO TAKE AN EFFECT WHEN HE SITS DOWN BETWEEN ROUNDS. >> IF HE DOES SIT. >> I WAS HIM, I WOULD STAY STANDING. AS SOON AS YOU SIT DOWN, THE BLOOD STOPS FLOWING. WHEN YOU STAND BACK UP, IT'S HARD TO WORK. >> AND SPEAKING OF MELVIN, HE'S GOING TO WELCOME CORIANDER SON TO THE BELLATOR CAGE A WEEK FROM TONIGHT. >> I JUST HEARD EVERYWHERE THINKING ABOUT THAT FIGHT, JOSH. HOW ROBBY SURVIVED THAT ONSLAUGHT. >> WE SAW HOW HE SURVIVED. >> HE'S RUTHLESS. >> WITH A VICIOUS LEFT HOOK. >> YEAH. >> PRETTY RUTHLESS. >> IF YOU BACK HIM UP, HE CAN'T THROW THE LEG KICK. >> TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THESE SHOTS.

WE'VE SEEN THAT ABOUT 46 AND NOW HIS 47th TIME. >> HE CANNOT TAKE THOSE LEG KICKS ANY LONGER. >> GOODNESS. >> IT'S ALL OVER! JUST LIKE THAT! SABAH HOMASI, SPECTACULAR FINISH. >> WHAT YOU SAW THE BEGINNING OF THAT ROUND IS BOBBY VOELKER DOING WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, TRYING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE AND GET INTO A BOXING RANGE. WHEN YOU HAVE THE POWER THAT SABAH HOMASI HAS, THAT CAN BE DANGER. WATCH THE SHOT HERE. A BIG KNEE. HE'S OUT. GOING DOWN. CATCHES HIMSELF. STILL THERE. THAT SHOT, RIGHT THERE, PUTS AN END TO IT. A BIG FLYING KNEE BY SABAH HOMASI. YOU SAW HOW HIS BODY REACTED. HE WAS CONSCIOUS WHEN HE HITS THE UNDERSTOOD GROW. NOT ENOUGH TO PROTECT HIMSELF. HE GETS HIT, TWO BIG HAMMER FISTS AND IT'S DONE. >> YOU CAN SEE HOW FAST THAT KNEE CAME UP. THAT WAS ALL BECAUSE BOBBY WAS TRYING TO CLOSE THAT DISTANCE, GET IN THE BOXING RANGE. SABAH BRINGS THE KNEE. OUTSTANDING WIN FOR SABAH HOMASI. >> THE PROBLEM THAT VOELKER MADE IN THE LAST EXCHANGE, HE HAS TO PUNCH HIS WAY IN.

MIDWAY POINT OF ROUND ONE. >> CALTON DOING A GOOD JOB OF KEEPING HIS LEGS AGAINST THE FENCE. >> ONE THING THAT I SAW, WHEN GUYS FORCE THEM AGAINST THE CAGE, HE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TAKE DOWN.

HAGER WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN. HIS LANDED SOME PUNCHES ON HIM AND HIS CONFIDENCE IS BUILDING HERE. >> WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN HAGER AND CALTON, CALTON IS TAKING THE CENTER OF THE CAGE, MAKING HAGER COME TO HOME. NO WASTED ENERGY. HAGER IS BOUNCING AROUND ON THE OUTSIDE. TRYING TO STAY LONG. HE IS LONGER THAN HIM. IT TAKES ENERGY TO THROW LONG PUNCHES AND KICKS. THE MOVEMENT DOESN'T HELP EITHER. >> JAKE NEEDS TO USE THE STANDUP TO GET TO THE CLINCH. >> HE MUST HAVE HEARD YOU, JOHN. >> HE REACHED IN WITH THAT STANDUP BEFORE THE CLINCH, CALTON JUST MISSED.

NO FOLLOW UP BY JAKE. A NICE STRAIGHT RIGHT. >> AND UTILIZING HIS REACH THERE, JOSH. >> IT'S JUST HARD TO STAY LONG RANGE PUNCHING. IT'S EXHAUSTING. >> HE NEEDS TO USE THE HANDS TO CLOSE THAT SPACE. >> WHEN THE ARENA IS FULL, YOU CAN'T HEAR YOUR OPPONENT'S CORNER A LOT. YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM. NOW YOU CAN HEAR THEM, IN MY MIND WHEN I LISTEN TO THEM, I'M THINKING MAN, THEY'RE TELLING GOD ADVICE. IT'S WORKING. I COULD BE LOSING THIS FIGHT.

THE MOUTH CENTERPIECE GOING ACROSS. BIG SHOT BY CALTON. WATCH HOW FAST IT OCCURRED. WHEN HE DOES IT, THAT WAS A HUGE SHOT. HE HAD HIM HURT. HE TRIED TO FINISH. HE WAS A LITTLE TIRED. JAKE HANGING ON HIM DIDN'T HELP. >> I LIKE THE BACKHAND AT THE END. HE HIT HIM. HE'S LIKE IMPROVISE. >> YOU WANTED TO CALL THE SPINNING. >> I DID. >> ROB RADFORD MOTIVATING HIS GUY. >> AND LOOK AT BRANDON CALTON. HE IS PACING. HE WANTS TO GET INTO THE THIRD ROUND. THE LOOK OF A GUY FEELING CONFIDENT. NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THE SAME THING WITH JAKE HAGER'S CORNER. >> SO LET'S GO SCORE CARDS, JOHN. >> RIGHT NOW -- THAT FIGHT WAS ALMOST OVER IN THE SECOND ROUND. THIS IS EVEN 1-1 GOING TO THE THIRD. >> FIVE MINUTES REMAIN. JOSH, DO YOU CONCUR? >> I CONCUR. >> YOU'RE LIKE A DOCTOR. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR JAKE HEADACHER TO CIRCLE TO HIS RIGHT. STAY AWAY FROM THE POWER OF CALTON. IF HE'S GOING TOWARDS HIS RIGHT, HE WILL TAKE A LOT OF STEAM OFF. >> JAKE HAS TO PUNCH THE LONG RANK PUNCHES. JAB OUT THERE.

YOU CAN HEAR THEM BREATHING. >> HEAVYWEIGHTS WITH THAT MUCH WEIGHT GOING THREE ROUNDS, WORKING HARD. IT'S A LIGHT OF WEIGHT TO CARRY. >> BOTH HAVE CONNECTED. >> THAT'S THE OTHER THING. TAKING CLEAN SHOTS LIKE THAT IS TAKING YOUR BATTERING LINE OUT OF THERE. YOU SEE IN A VIDEO GAME WITH POWER, IT STARTS GOING DOWN. >> THINKING OF THAT. DING, DING, DING, KNOCK HIM OUT. >> RIGHT NOW HAGER NEEDS TO BRING IT UP TOWARDS THE HEAD. THE HEAD IS AVAILABLE TO HIT. COME UNDERNEATH THE ARM LIKE HE'S DOING. >> TRYING TO EXPLODE OUT. HE'S DONE IT A COUPLE OF TIMES. >> HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF BEING A DEFENSIVE WRESTLER. NOT ALLOWING HAGER -- OH, LOW SHOT. TRYING TO GO TO THE BODY. WENT TO THE WRONG PART OF IT. >> THAT'S AT LEAST GOING TO GET CALTON OUT OF THAT POSITION. >> NOT ONLY THAT, BUT GIVE HIM A BREATHER. I FEEL LIKE HE'S BEEN LANDING THE CLEANER, HARDER SHOTS THAT HAVE DONE THE MOST DAMAGE. THIS FIVE-MINUTE BREAK MAY GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS FOR THE LAST MINUTE OF THIS FIGHT. >> LET'S GO! >> TAKE THE FIVE MINUTES AND GET FRESH. >> YOU KNOW NOTHING. >> I KNOW NOTHING. >> I KNOW NOTHING.

THE JAB. JAKE REALLY NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT IF HE'S GOING TO THROW THE HANDS OUT, HE HAS TO BRING THEM BACK WITH THE SAME INTENSITY. HE'S LEAVING HIS HANDS OUT THERE AT TIMES. UNDER A MINUTE. NICE SHOT. JAKE DOESN'T THROW HIS JAB FIRST, CALTON CAN HIT HIM WITH THE JAB.

HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO IT. >> TIME! >> THEY GO THE DISTANCE. BOTH MEN BLOODIED. NEITHER MAN BEATEN UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHO GETS THE DECISION. WOW! >> I THINK DAN MIRAGLIOTTA STILL SHAKING HIS HEAD, JOHN. HE'S SAYING ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. >> SO YOU WANT TO BE A MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST. >> BRANDON SAYING I CAN GO TWO MORE ROUNDS. I CAN GO FIVE ROUNDS. >> JAKE HAGER IS GOING HUH-UH, NO THANK YOU. I'M DONE. >> SOME OF THE STRIKING YOU SAW IN THIS FIGHT, MOUTHPIECE COMING OUT. WHEN HEAVYWEIGHT HITS, THEY'RE NOT THE MOST TECHNICAL BUT THEY ALWAYS HAVE POWER AND THEY CAN ALWAYS HURT EACH OTHER. THERE WAS NICE SHOTS, A BEAUTIFUL STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND BY JAKE HAGER. JAKE IN THE THIRD ROUND CAME OUT, DID A LOT OF GOOD WORK. I THINK ENDED UP GETTING HIM THE WIN IN THIS FIGHT. >> IT'S IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES NOW. THAT ACCIDENTAL EYE POKERLY BY BOTH.
