THE LADY SAMURAI BORN AND RAISED IN MAUI MAKING HER PROFESSIONAL DEBUT. 7-1 AMATEUR RECORD. FIVE FINISHES, FOUR OF THOSE FIVE KNOCKOUTS. >> AS AN AMATEUR, WHEN YOU HIT HER, SHE WANTED TO HIT YOU BACK RIGHT AWAY. SHE HAS CALM HERSELF DOWN. YOU CAN SEE THE WAY SHE'S APPROACHING THIS. >> TALKED A LOT ABOUT HER TRAINING PARTNER, HER BOYFRIEND SEAN RUSH, SAID SHE'S TRULY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND REPRESENT HER HOME STATE OF HAWAII. RUIZ MADE HER DEBUT ON LONG ISLAND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT 115. SHE IS UP TO 125 LOOKING FOR HER FIRST BELLATOR WIN. >> SHE'S GOING TO A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE WITH REACH. SHE'S VERY PHYSICALLY STRONG. SHE IS AGGRESSIVE. WHEN SHE WANTS TO TURN SOMEONE LIKE SUGGESTED, SHE'S SUCCESSFUL. >> GREAT JOB OF KEEPING HER HEAD ON A SWIVEL. I LIKE TO SEE HER PUT IT BACK IN THERE. >> JESSICA RUIZ WEIGHED IN AT 123.5. TALK ABOUT A STRAWWEIGHT IN HER DEBUT. JOSH, AS JOHN TALKED ABOUT, SUMIKO SHOULD BE THE BIG STRONGER FIGHTER. >> John: HAS CLINCH >> Josh: SHOULDTIRE HER OUT AS G ABOUT. >> John: MANY TIMES PEOPLE SEE THIS KIND OF FIGHT, THIS CLINCH GAME, THEY AREN'T DOING MUCH. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON AND EXHAUSTING TAKING BIG SHOT WITH THE KNEES, ALL OF IT HURTS, ALL OF IT ADDS UP. IT'S LIKE DEPOSITED MONEY IN THE BANK. >> John: WITH RUIZ BEING THE SMALLER FIGHTER, THIS IS A GOOD THING ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE FIGHT TAKING POWER AND SNAP OUT OF HER PUNCHES. >> 2 MINUTES LEFT, JUST. LET'S WORK! >> Mike: OUT OF THE CORNER OF JESSICA RUIZ, BORN OUT OF BROOKLYN. FIGHTING OUT OF BALDWIN, LONG ISLAND. >> Josh: THAT'S ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF NO CROWD, WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HEARING EVERYTHING THEY HAVE TO SAY. TELLING THEIR FIGHTERS SOMETIMES ALSO LISTENING TO YOU YELL. >> Mike: ONE GUY DOESN'T GENERALLY LIKE WHEN I SAY THAT. THERE WAS A MOMENT LAST WEEK WHERE PEOPLE ARE BATTLING ON THE CAGE AND THEY WERE BOTH LOWER IN THEIR GAS TANK. JOHN, THEY SAID IT WAS A TOUGH LOCK. >> John: IT HAPPENS. SUMIKO HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL POSITION. YOU SEE JESSICA NOT ABLE TO TRY TO GET OUT. SHE HAS NOT FIGURED OUT THAT WAY. >> Josh: JOHN, WE FIGURED OUT HEART OF THIS FIGHT, NOT DOING A GOOD JOB AT HEAD POSITION. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART WHEN YOU TRY TO KEEP SMALL PRESSED AGAINST THE FENCE. WE'VE SEEN IT REALLY GOOD, TOP-LEVEL GUYS, TOP-LEVEL ATHLETES WILL KEEP THEIR HEAD UNDERNEATH THE CHIN TO KEEP THEIR OPPONENT PRESSING THE FENCE. >> Mike: GETTING SOME SHORT SHOTS IN. LADY SAMURAI IN THE FINAL 30 SECONDS OF ROUND NUMBER 1. OUR FIRST PRELIMINARY MATCH UP HERE. JOSH THOMPSON, JOHN McCARTNEY. 13 SECONDS, A LOT OF TIME LEFT. THROWING DOWN HARD. IT IS ALL OVER! JUST LIKE THAT! YOU SAID IT, JOHN, YOU CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IN THE 15 SECONDS. >> John: ESPECIALLY IF YOU GO AFTER HER ELBOWS. A BEAUTIFUL JOB. LET ME HIT HER WITH THE HARDEST PART OF MY BODY RIGHT NOW. THAT'S MY ELBOW. BIG SHOTS THAT MADE REFEREE MIKE BELTRAN COME TO THE DECISION THAT HE NEEDED TO STOP THE FIGHT. BEAUTIFUL SWITCH BACK ON THE AND MOVES HIMSELF FROM THIS POSITION YOU CAN SEE POSTURES UP, YOU SEE RUIZ START TO TURN AND COVER. THAT IS NOT GOOD, INTELLIGENT DEFENSE AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS STOPPED. IT'S >> Josh: WHEN THE FIGHTER TURNS >> Josh: WHEN THE FIGHTER TURNS AWAY, THAT'S A GOOD STOPPAGE. THEY ARE TRYING TO SURVIVE AND WAIT FOR THE BELL. GREAT JOB BY THE REFEREE. >> Mike: WE'VE SAID, THERE IS NO BALLOT, NO TIMER IN THE MIND OF A REFEREE WHEN HE'S INSIDE THE CAGE. SEMI GOT IN ABOUT FOR THE STATE HAWAII SUMI GOT IN ABOUT FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII AND AT SOMETHING YOU CAN STILL HAVE DURING TOUGH TIMES LIKE THIS. IMPRESSIVE DEBUT IN BELLATOR AND AS A PROFESSIONAL 29-YEAR-OLD SUMIKO INABA. MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL. >> Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE, IT COMES TO AN END WITH ONE SECOND REMAINING IN THE ROUND, OFFICIALLY 4:59. ONE ROUND REMAINING, THE WINNER BY DECISION, SUMIKO "LADY SAMURAI" INABA. >> Mike: THE LADY SAMURAI FORMER JAPANESE HERITAGE, IT'S OFFICIAL. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET UP TO THE FIGHT DESK AND WE SAY HELLO TO JIM BROWN AND THE AMERICAN GANGSTER. >> CHAEL AND I ARE GOING TO BE UP HERE ALL NIGHT LONG. LET'S START WITH OUR MAIN EVENT STARTING TONIGHT. THERE WERE HUGE WAVES MADE WHEN BELLATOR SIGNED THE CORIANDER STIRRED. TONIGHT, HE TAKES ON MELVIN MANHOEF, A VETERAN IN COMBAT SPORTS. HE SAYS HE'S GOOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE FROM HIM TONIGHT? >> I THINK HE NEEDS TO BE EXPLOSIVE. THAT'S WHO HE IS. MELVIN MANHOEF OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER HAS BEATEN ANYBODY. HE IS NOT BUILT FOR ENDURANCE. THIS MAN IS BUILT FOR SPEED. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS AND GO HOME. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT COREY ANDERSON? HE HAS STRENGTH IN HIS HANDS BUT VERY GOOD WRESTLER. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE FROM HIM? >> THE BIGGEST QUESTION FOR ME ARE THE NERVES. I THINK THE ACCIDENT THOSE MATCH UP WELL WITH COREY ANDERSON. THIS IS A NEW KID IN CLASS. HE'LL BE WALKING OUT OF CLASS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT BY A CURTAIN JERKED WITH A NUMBER OF GREAT FIGHTERS THAT HE LOOKS UP TO TONIGHT. PRESSURE CAN MAKE GUYS FREEZE UP. >> A LOT OF TIME TO SIT BACK THERE AND WATCH THE OTHER FIGHTERS MAKE THE WALK TO THE CAGE. LET'S TALK ABOUT MANHOEF. YOU SAID THIS FIGHT ISN'T MAKING IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND. WE'VE SEEN HIM KNOCK OUT GUYS LIKE MARK HUNT. DO YOU THINK HE CAN KNOCK OUT COREY ANDERSON AND UNDER THE FIRST ROUND? >> HE CAN KNOCK COREY OUT. COREY DOESN'T COME ACROSS THE RING, CHANGE ELEVATION, AND USE THAT COLLEGIATE LIFETIME OF WRESTLER, COREY MIXES IT UP A LITTLE BIT. HE MAKES SURE HE HITS YOU A COUPLE OF TIMES. THEY OFFER THAT TO YOU BECAUSE OF MANHOEF IS GOING TO COME OUT AND COME OUT HARD AND FAST AND STRONG LIKE I THINK YOU WILL, IT'LL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH COREY. I'M NOT SUGGESTING, COREY, THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, I AM SUGGESTING IT'S GOING TO BE A QUICK FIGHT. VERY HARD FIGHT FOR MANHOEF. VERY SCARY FIGHT FOR ANDERSON. >> OUR FIGHT COMING UP ON CBS SPORTS. >> LIKE US ON THE BELLATOR FACEBOOK PAGE AND SEE EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS, UPDATES ON TWITTER AT @BELLATOR JOIN BELLA TOWARD JOINS BETWEEN NINE NATION TODAY. >> Mike: JEN AND CHAEL TALKED ABOUT OUR MAIN EVENT. WE WILL ALSO DO SO AT LENGTH TONIGHT. BUT ALSO ON THE CARD, TYRELL FORTUNE, SAID SOWMA, AUSTIN VANDERFORD COMING BACK. THIS WILL BECOME A JOHN, HIS FIRST FIGHT SINCE MAKING THE MOVE TO SOUTH FLORIDA, TO AMERICAN TOP TEAM FULL-TIME. >> IT'S A BIG THING AND PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. BUT WHEN YOU SWITCH CAMPS, DIFFERENT COACHES, DIFFERENT TRAINING PARTNERS, IT'S A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE. SOMETIMES THAT REALLY WORKS FOR GUYS AND ORCS IT WORKS AGAINST THEM. DOWN IN COCONUT CREEK, HE LOVES THE PEOPLE HE'S TRAINING WITH AND I THINK WE'LL SEE THE BEST FORTUNE OF VERSION OF HIM TONIGHT. >> Mike: HE GOT KNOCKED OUT BY TIM JOHNSON, THE UNFORTUNATE NO CONTEST. JOSH, HE NEEDS TO GET PAST THAT BUT HE HAS A HECK OF A TOUGH PASS IN DOING SO. >> Josh: HE NEEDS TO MENTALLY GET THROUGH THE FACT THAT HE'S GOT A LOSS AND HE HAS TO BREAK THROUGH THAT AND USE HIS WRESTLER TO SET UP HIS STAND UP. THE FIGHT I'M MOST INTERESTED IN IS DEREK ANDERSON, A KILLYS MOTA. THE SMALLER GUYS BRING THE ACTION. BIG TIME KNOWS THAT AND I'M READY FOR THIS. >> Mike: BOTH OF THESE MEN MOVING UP FROM 55 TO 170. THEY WILL GET US STARTED, 7:00 IN THE EAST, 4:00 IN THE WEST. YOU ARE LIKING THE LITTLE GUYS? BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLE NOW FOR PROFESSIONAL DEBUT FOR BOTH, JOE SUPINO AND JAYLON BATES. OUR TALE OF THE TIP, 23-YEAR-OLD BATES, BIG JOHN, AGAINST 26 YEAR OLD JOE SUPINO. >> John: MIKEY, YOU CAN SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THAT REACH. >> Mike: MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS! >> Announcer: JOINING US ON BELLATOR'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL, HERE AT WE CAN SOME ARENA IN THE "BELLATOR 251" PRELIMS, CALLED THE TO THE A BANTAMWEIGHT DIVISION SET FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. 5'5", WEIGHING IN AT 106 POUNDS EVEN. TONIGHT, HE MAKES HIS PROFESSIONAL DEBUT FIGHTING OUT OF STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, PRESENTING JOE SUPINO! ACROSS THE CAGE, FIGHTING OUT OF THE RED CORNER. AT 5'10", WEIGHING IN 134.8 POUNDS IN HIS PROFESSIONAL DEBUT, HE FIGHTS OUT OF PORTLAND, OREGON, INTRODUCING JAYLON BATES! IN CHARGE, YOUR REFEREE CARRIE TERRYHATLEY. >> Mike: TERRY HATLEY OUR REFEREE. PROFESSIONAL DEBUT FOR BOTH MEN. JAYLON BATES AND JOE SUPINO. BATES A PERFECT 9-0 AS AN AMATEUR. [BELL RINGING] 6-2 RECORD FOR SUPINO. TODAY'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENT IT BY GEICO. JAYLON BATES IN THE RED GLOVES. JOE SUPINO IN THE BLUE GLOVES. BANTAMWEIGHT FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. SUPINO A SOUTHPAW. BATES ALSO A SOUTHPAW BUT COMFORTABLE FIGHTING FROM EITHER STANDS. 9-0, FOUR SUBMISSIONS, THREE KNOCKOUTS AS AN AMATEUR 423 YEAR OLD BATES FOR 23-YEAR-OLD JAYLON BATES. >> John: NOT A GUY WHO ONLY GOES AFTER TAKEDOWNS. SUPINO IS THE GUY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TO GET A TAKE THEM WITH HIS WRESTLER BACKGROUND. JAYLON IS GOOD EVERYWHERE. I KNOW IT'S HIS PRO DEBUT BUT HE'S LOCKING IT UP. >> Josh: HE'S GOT TO GET THAT -- SORRY, FROM THE ANGLE ON OUT IT'S HARD TO SEE. HE'S GOT TO GET THE ANGLE ACROSS SUPINO'S BODY SO HE DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT BLOCKING, DEFENDING, ROLLING THROUGH. >> John: HE'S THINKING ABOUT ROLLING FORWARD BUT THE DEFENSE IS NOT GOING TO WORK AND HE'S TRYING TO PULL IT TO SEE IF HE CAN ROLL IT BACKWARDS. >> Mike: ONE OF THE THINGS JAYLON SAID BRIEFLY IS HIS GREATEST STRENGTH IS HIS ABILITY TO ADAPT WHILE MOVING TO AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION FOR HIS OPPONENT, FIGURING THINGS OUT, SOLVING THE PUZZLE WHICH IS WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW, GET HIMSELF INTO THE BEST POSITION TO FINISH HIS FIGHT QUICKLY. >> John: HE DID SOMETHING YOUNG FIGHTERS DON'T DO, LOOKING FOR THE FINISH BUT REALIZES IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK, LET ME GET TO THE BETTER POSITION, GETS TO THE BETTER POSITION AND START TO HAVE A CHANCE AT HITTING SUPINO WITH STRIKES NOW. THIS IS REALLY GOOD WORK BY A YOUNG FIGHTER. IT'S >> Mike: A YOUNG FIGHTER ON THE BIG STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A PROFESSIONAL. >> Josh: JOHN HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD HERE. AS A YOUNG FIGHTER YOU TEND TO THINK YOU HAVE THE SUBMISSION AND OTHER FIGHTERS AND ATHLETES, THEY WILL FIGHT TO THE BITTER END TO STOP YOU FROM CEMENTING THEM. IN THE GYM, IT'S KIND OF TIGHT. I WILL JUST TAP. YOU ARE USED TO BEING IN THAT COUNTABLE POSITION. REALIZE HE WASN'T GOING TO GET IT. JUST TRYING TO BE MATURE, BE REAL WITH YOURSELF HONESTLY. >> Mike: GOOD GROUND AND POUND RIGHT HERE, GOOD ELBOWS. TRYING TO BREAK DOWN SUPINO. >> John: EVERYTHING JAYLON BATES IS DOING RIGHT NOW IS BEAUTIFUL. >> Josh: JOHN, YOU CAN TELL BATES HAS A LITTLE BIT OF WRESTLING PEDIGREE. HE'S REACHING ON THE FAR SET ANGLE AND DOING A VERY GOOD JOB CONTROLLING HIS HIP POSITION. >> John: YOU CAN TELL HE'S GOT A HEAVY PRESSURE BECAUSE HE HAS WORKED HARD TO BASE HIMSELF OUT AND HE'S BROUGHT DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE WHEN HE'S GETTING BROUGHT DOWN HE'S COMING DOWN HARD SO THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE. >> Mike: 23-YEAR-OLD AGAINST 26-YEAR-OLD. CAN HE LOCK SOMETHING INSIDE EARLY? >> Josh: WHAT SUPINO IS DOING REALLY WELL IS HE KEEPING THE WRIST CONTROL. EVEN THOUGH BATES HAS THE WRIST CONTROL, HE HAS IN UNDER THE ARMPITS AND CONTROLLING REALLY WELL. >> John: OUTSTANDING JOB. IF YOU NOTICE WHAT JAYLON BATES IS DOING ON SUPINO'S LEG, KEPT THEM LOCKED IN ON POSITION ON SUPINO. EVERYTHING HE'S DOING RIGHT NOW, AND SUPINO IS DOING WELL AND DEFENDING, JAYLON BATES IS JUST A STEP AHEAD. >> Josh: JOHN, IT DOESN'T COME DOWN TO THE STEP AHEAD. WHAT IT IS IS HE'S PREDICTING WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO AND BECAUSE SUPINO IS USING MUSCLE TO EXPLODE OUT OF ONE POSITION, NOT THINKING TWO OR THREE, BATES IS ABLE TO BEAT HIM EVERY TIME. >> Josh: BORN AND RAISED IN STATEN ISLAND. WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND SUPPORTERS HE HAS BACK HOME. IN FULL CONTROL OF THE FIRST FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES OF THIS FIGHT. NICE JOB, NICE BY SUPINO. >> John: FINALLY NICE TO GET IN THE TOP POSITION. LET'S SEE WHAT HE CAN DO TO GET IN THE TOP LEFT. >> Josh: NICE KNEE, YOUR FIGHTER WITH NO WIND AND THAT WAS A GREAT JOB. [BELL RINGING] >> THERE YOU GO, MAN. GOOD JOB. >> Mike: CATCH UP ON PAST FIGHTS 24/7 ON OUR TV CHANNEL, AVAILABLE NOW ON YOUR AVAILABLE DEVICES. LOOK FOR US IN THE SPORTS CATEGORY. IMPRESSIVE FIRST ROUND FOR THAT YOUNG MAN. LET'S LISTEN INTO THE CORNER. >> ONE, TWO. CONTROL HIS BACK AND CONTROL HIS WRIST. >> Josh: VERY SOUND ADVICE FROM JAYLON BATES CORNER. >> John: THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, JOSH. NOTICE THE LEFT LEG OF JAYLON BATES. HE'S CONTROLLING THE RIGHT LEG WHERE YOU SEE SUPINO TRYING TO SWING UNDER TO GET HIMSELF BACK UP. HE CAN'T BASED ON WHAT BATES WAS DOING. SLICK MANEUVER. >> Mike: START OUT ROUND NUMBER 2, PROFESSIONAL DEBUT FOR BOTH FIGHTERS AND THEY ARE DOING SO RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. BATES COMES OUT IN ROUND 2, SOUTHPAW. NOW SWITCHES. JAYLON BATES SAYS HE'S BEEN FIGHTING SINCE HE WAS FOUR OR FIVE YEARS OLD. >> KEEP THAT RIGHT ELBOW TIGHT. >> John: THIS IS THE EXACT GAME SUPINO WANTS TO BE. RIGHT HERE, PUSHING BATES AGAINST THE CAGE. THIS IS WHERE YOU DOES HIS WORK. THIS IS WHERE HE WORKS TOWARDS THE TAKEDOWN AND THE GROUND AND POUND. WE WILL SEE IF HE CAN GAIN THAT GROUND AND POUND AGAINST BATES. >> Josh: IT'S VERY CLEAR WHAT HIS CORNERS ARE ASKING HIM TO DO. >> LET'S GO, JOEY. WRIST CONTROL. >> Mike: REPRESENTING DANTE RIVERA BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU OUT OF STATEN ISLAND. WHEN I FIRST WAS WORKING ON THE BIO OF JAYLON BATES TALKING ABOUT THE BANTAMWEIGHT FIGHT AND I SAW 5'10", I WENT I MAKES SENSE NOW. >> John: GOING TO GET THIS TAKEDOWN. NICE JOB, HANDS TOGETHER. >> Josh: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MISTAKE HE JUST DID THOUGH. TAKEN DOWN AND HE SETTLED IN FOR A SECOND. AS SOON AS YOUR BACK HITS OR BUTT HITS, YOU HAVE TO POST UP ON YOUR HANDS AND ESCAPE. THAT'S THE EASIEST TIME TO GET BACK UP TO YOUR FEET AND SET AN AMOUNT OF OFFENSE. THE PERSON STARTS WALKING UP YOUR BODY WHICH WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW, JAYLON BATES IS ABLE TO GET UP TO HIS BODY AND IN A GOOD HALF-COURT POSITION, ABLE TO DO SOME WORK NOW. NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SEE. >> Mike: IT'S THE OLD ADAGE, JOSH, WE TALKED ABOUT FOR DECADES. HARD TO TAKE DOWN, HARDER TO KEEP DOWN WITH CERTAIN FIGHTERS. >> Josh: THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS, ALL THE YEARS I WAS FIGHTING, I NEVER WANTED TO SETTLE ON MY BOTTOM. ONCE YOU SETTLE IT SO MUCH HARDER TO GET FROM THE BOTTOM. I'VE TRAINED WITH SOME OF THE BEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD, THEY HOLD THAT ONCE THEY TAKE YOU DOWN YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE TO COME BACK UP. THEY ARE ON TOP PUTTING THEIR REAR WAIT ON YOU? IT'S NOT EASY TO GET UP FROM THE BOTTOM. >> Mike: THE BEST OF THE BEST KNOW HOW TO STAY VERY HEAVY ON THE KNEE ON BELLY. 2 MINUTES ON THE CLOCK COME AROUND NUMBER TWO. JAYLON BATES IN TOP POSITION ON JOE SUPINO. >> Josh: YOU CAN HEAR SUPINO'S CORNER TELL THEM TO RUN UP THE FENCE SO HE CAN ROLL THEM AROUND AND GET THE DOUBLE LEG OR AT LEAST GET A DIFFERENT POSITION FROM HERE WHERE HE'S NOT CARING ALL OF BATES' WEIGHT. >> John: YOU ACTUALLY SEE BATES WITH KNEE ON BELLY AND IS ACTUALLY JUMPING ON THE BELLY AS A STRIKE. >> Mike: FOUR SUBMISSIONS, THREE KNOCKOUTS, 9-0 AMATEUR RECORD. SUPINO EIGHT AMATEUR FIGHTS. BOTH MEN MAKING THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEBUT. >> Josh: GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT GUILLOTINE, JOHN. THERE HE IS, SEEKING IT THROUGH, PULLING THE OTHER HAND THROUGH RIGHT NOW APPEARED THE LEG OVER THE BACK SO HE CAN'T DO A FORWARD FLIP AND RUN THROUGH. >> John: YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE'S DOING IS HE CAN'T GET HIS HAND OVER THE GRAB INTO THE WRIST OR GET INTO AN S GRIP OR HOWEVER HE WANTS TO GET IT. HE'S PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE STILL, YOU SEE SUPINO STUCK. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL REVERSAL BY BATES. >> Josh: THE BENEFITS OF BEING LONG, JOHN. >> John: YOU TALK ABOUT THE RIGHT AUDIO BODY FRAME FOR MMA, THAT'SA GRET OF MMA AND ESPECIALLY FOR THIS WEIGHT CLASS. >> Mike: FINAL SECONDS OF ROUND 2. [BELL RINGING] >> Referee: STOP. >> Mike: BELLATOR IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH THE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS AT HARTFORD HEALTH CARE FOR ALL OF OUR COVID-19 TESTING AND SCREENING. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO HartfordHealth Care.org. >> John: YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THE DYNAMICS. LOOK AT THE JUMP KNEE, TRYING FOR THE TAKEDOWN, YOU SEE HIM WATCHING, JUMPED UP, THE KNEE DOES CONNECT. HIT SOME FLUSH IN THE CHEST AREA AND EVERYTHING BUT IF YOU GET THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FLUTTER WHICH TELLS YOU THAT HE GOT TOUCHED. >> Josh: THAT'S CONFIDENCE ON YOUR SKILL. IF I GET TAKEN DOWN, I DON'T CARE IF I GET THERE, I'LL DO WHATEVER I WANT. >> NICE GROUND, MAN. NICE GROUND. >> Mike: SAFE TO SAY IF SUPINO IS GOING TO WALK AWAY WITH HIS ARM RAISED, HE'S GOT TO FINISH HIS OPPONENT IN THE FINAL 5 MINUTES. [BELL RINGING] RED GLOVES FOR BATES, BLUE GLOVES FOR SUPINO. >> John: IS VERY CLEAR THAT HE'S GOING THE FIRST FEW ROUNDS. SEE WHAT HE CAN DO TO TRY TO GET THAT VICTORY. >> Mike: JOSH, YOU BROUGHT UP A GREAT POINT AND, JOHN, YOU'VE GONE TO IT AT LENGTH. EVERYBODY THINKS YOU ARE LONGER SO YOU HAVE A HUGE STAND-UP ADVANTAGE. HAVING THAT KIND OF LENGTH ALSO MAKES YOU MUCH MORE DANGEROUS AGAINST THE SHORT GUY ON THE GROUND AS WELL. >> Josh: LOOK AT GUYS LIKE MVP. MAYBE HE'S NOT KNOWN FOR HIS GRAPPLING BUT IT'S HARD TO PULL PEOPLE DOWN, ALLOW THE BODY TO COVER WHEN YOU ARE ON TOP AND THEY ARE ABLE TO KNEE SHIELD YOU AWAY, CREATE SPACE, GET BACK TO THEIR FEET. IF THEY DO KICK YOU BACK, THEY ARE KICKING YOU BACK A FOOT AND A HALF BACK. A NORMAL PERSON -- I SHOULDN'T SAY NORMAL PERSON, BUT A PERSON WHO IS NOT AS TALL, IT'S HARD TO CONTROL THAT BODY LENGTH. >> John: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GRAPPLING ASPECT OF MMA, BEING CLOSE TO SOMEONE, THE CLOSE CONTACT, THAT'S CONTROL. WHEN YOU GET SEPARATION IS WHEN YOU ESCAPE IT AND WHEN GUYS ARE LONG, IT'S THE EXTRA COUPLE OF INCHES THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO KEEP IN A "BELLATOR 251" THREE SHIELD SITUATION. THE SPACE THEY CREATE GIVES HIM ENOUGH SPACE TO GET THEMSELVES OUT. >> Josh: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TOP. SOMEONE SHORTER IN STATURE GOES TO KICK THEM BACK AND A PERSON TAKES A STEP BACK AND PUNCH YOU FROM THE STANDING POSITION BECAUSE THEY HAVE LONG ARMS, THAT'S SO FRUSTRATING. I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. >> Mike: JOHN, YOU SAID STRAIGHT UP TO ME THAT 23 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY STRONG AND FAST, BUT A SMART, YOUNG FIGHTER IS JAYLON BATES. IT'S ON DISPLAY RIGHT NOW. >> John: EVERYTHING I THOUGHT WHEN I WATCHED HIM BEFORE, HE HAS PROVEN IN THIS FIGHT. HE IS GOOD EVERYWHERE. HE IS DYNAMIC IN SOME OF HIS APPROACHES IN BEING OFFENSIVE AND HE IS SMART WITH A YOUNG FIGHTER, SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT THE CASE. AND HE SHOWED ME HE'S GOT THE FIGHTER MENTALITY. >> Mike: TAKING NOTHING AWAY FROM THE GAME GAMESMANSHIP OF JOESUPINO. >> John: STAYING WITH THE GUY, PUTTING HIM IN A LOT A LOT OF BAD SITUATIONS. >> Josh: WATCH THAT SIDE CHOKE. >> Mike: EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FINISHER AS AN AMATEUR. THREE KOs, FOUR SUBMISSIONS, OVER 3 MINUTES DOWN ON THE CLOCK OF THIS FIGHT. >> John: LOOKING AT THE ANACONDA, LOOKING AT THE GUILLOTINE AND DECIDES JUST WANT TO GET BACK ON POSITION AT TOP. VERY GOOD WORK BY A YOUNG FIGHTER WHEN I TALK ABOUT HE PUT THESE KNEE IN THE HOLE, HE PUT THE KNEE IN BETWEEN THE ELBOW AND THIGH. THAT'S JUST GOOD CONTROL. SEEING HIM DO GOOD AGAIN, THE HIP CONTROL HERE, FIGHTING WITH THE HIPS VERY WELL. PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND TO CONTROL SOMEONE WHO IS THAT SWEATY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP MOVING IN THE WHOLE FIGHT. HE HAS BEEN TRYING BUT HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO ESCAPE. >> GET YOUR GLOVE BACK. FIGHT THOSE GROUPS, FIGHT THOSE GRAPES FIGHTS THOSE GRIPS, FIGHT THOSE GRIPS. >> Josh: WE HAVEN'T HEARD SUPINO'S CORNER AT ALL. >> Mike: WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A NEW YORK COMMENT ABOUT THAT, BUT... [LAUGHS] >> BACK TO THE CAGE. >> DON'T LET THEM COME UP. >> Mike: IT'S NOT A BAD THING. >> John: A FULL WORK AGAIN BY JAYLON BATES. ALL THOSE ELBOWS ARE LEGAL, THEY ARE COMING IN AT AN ANGLE. >> Mike: A LOT OF THEM ON THE SHOULDER BLADE AREA LIKE THAT. >> John: THAT'S A SWING ELBOW, TOTALLY LEGAL. BEAUTIFUL JOB BY JAYLON BATES TRYING TO MAKE THE MOVE, MAKE NO MISTAKES. >> Mike: 30 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. DOMINANT PERFORMANCE BY JAYLON BATES. PROFESSIONAL DEBUT FOR BOTH MEN. >> Josh: I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM REALLY GO FOR A SUBMISSION. HE'S GOT THE FIGHT IN THE BAG BUT HE'S ALSO ON THE BACK. GO IN AND ATTACK AND WRITE WHEN I SAY THAT, LOOK AT THIS. >> Mike: TEN SECONDS. [BELL RINGING] >> John: THERE WAS SOMETHING HE SAID... BE WHEN I COULDN'T GET IT. MORE WAS SAID. THEY ARE STILL JAWING BACK AND FORTH. >> Mike: "I'M STILL JUST GETTING WARMED UP." >> John: THIS IS GOING BACK TO THAT KNEE, BLOCKED BY THE BODY. LOOK AT ALL THE TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS FIGHT FROM JAYLON BATES. NICE JOB, BRINGS IT DOWN. THIS IS THE THIRD ROUND AND IN A CONTROLLED POSITION FROM ANYWHERE HE WANTED. LANDED STRIKES, GOOD STRIKES TO THE BODY, TRIED TO GO FOR THE SUBMISSION. YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT JAYLON BATES HERE, AND JOE SUPINO PROVED HE WAS A GOOD FIGHTER BECAUSE HE WAS DEFENDING AGAINST A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TECHNIQUES BY JAYLON BATES. BUT VERY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE OVER ALL BY A FIGHTER SHOWING THAT HE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE TO DEAL WITH IN THE FUTURE. >> Josh: I AGREE. >> Mike: JUDGES RENDERING THEIR DECISION. BATES-SUPINO GOING THE DISTANCE IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEBUT. STILL CHATTING. ALL RIGHT. THE DECISION IS END. HERE IS THE VOICE, MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GOING THE DISTANCE WITH YOUR THREE JUDGES AT RINGSIDE. YOUR FIRST, SCORES 8:30-25. JUDGES DAVE TIRRELL AND MIKE MURTHA, ALL HAVE IT FOR THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, JAYLON BATES! >> Mike: THAT WAS PRETTY UNANIMOUS. >> John: THAT WAS A 10-8 ROUND. HE DOMINATED THAT, DOMINATED POSITION. DID SOME DAMAGE WITH SOME OF THE STRIKES. VERY AGGRESSIVE. >> Mike: JOE SUPINO A GAMER. JAYLON BATES A YOUNG TALENT AND THE YOUNG FIGHTER TO KEEP AN EYE ON. ALL RIGHT, LET'S CHECK IN WITH JEN. >> JAYLON BATES MAKING IT A REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND PERFORMANCE.TWO OTHER FIGHTERS R BELLATOR DEBUT ON THE MAIN CARD. TALKED ABOUT COREY ANDERSON EARLIER, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SAID SOWMA. WE SAW HIM WEEKS AGO WINNING THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE HERE IN TITAN FC. HE'S VERY CONFIDENT COMING IN. WHAT DOES HE NEED TO BRING TO THE CAGE? >> HE'S A LITTLE BIT SHORT AS A HEAVYWEIGHT. THE FIRST THING A WRESTLER MUST DO, JENN, GET UNDERNEATH. TAKING ON SOMEONE SHORTER, THEY NATURALLY HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. >> HE'S THAT HYBRID GUY. NOT THE MONSTER YOU ARE SEEING, INTERESTING TO SEE HOW TYRELL DEALS WITH THAT SIZE. TALKED TO FORTUNE, SAID I'M COMING IN, I WANT TO RIGHT THE SHIP. EIGHT STRAIGHT WINS, KNOCKED OUT BY TIM JOHNSON. HE WANTS TO RIGHT THE SHIP. HE SAYS HE WANTS TO WORK ON HIS STAND UP TONIGHT, CHAEL. PUT YOUR COACH HAT ON, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? >> THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY KIND OF SENSE. YOU WANT TO WORK ON THINGS THAT'S YOUR DEFICIT OR WEAKNESS, DO THAT IN THE PRACTICE ROOM. EXCUSE ME! YOU DO NOT DO THAT LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. YOU'VE GOT TO MIX THINGS UP. MMA IS NOT A CULMINATION OF BOXING AND WRESTLING, IT'S BOXING AND WRESTLING AT THE SAME TIME. HE'LL PLANT YOUR FEET WITH THE HOPE TO TAKE ONE IN THE FACE? WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT? >> NO MATTER WHERE THE FIGHT GOES HE FEELS CONFIDENT BEING IN CONTROL. THAT'S OUR CO-MAIN EVENT ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. >> Mike: CHAEL WAS VERY SERIOUS WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT. VERY EMOTIONAL. ALI ZEBIAN ON IS SET TO FIGHT FR THE SECOND TIME. PIANKHI ZIMMERMAN A BIT OLDER, A BIT TALLER, AND A BIT LONGER. >> John: NOT JUST A BIT LONGER. >> Mike: HERE IS MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: LIVE FROM MOHEGAN SEE AN ARENA, THOSE JOINING US ON CBSSports.com AS WE GET SET FOR LIGHTWEIGHTS, FOR THREE SPACE MY FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS.

AS PROFESSIONAL, FOUR WINS, TWO LOSSES. FIGHTING OUT OF MASSACHUSETTS, INTRODUCING ALI ZEBIAN. >> Mike: TERRY HATLEY OUR REFEREE. ZEBIAN JUST BOUGHT 35 DAYS AGO IN LFA, HIS THIRD FIGHT OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. HIS OPPONENT MAKING HIS DELLA BELLATOR DEBUT. [BELL RINGING] HERE WE GO! TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. ZEBIAN IN THE RED GLOVES, ZIMMERMAN IN THE BLUE GLOVES. BORN IN CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY. PIANKHI ZIMMERMAN FIGHTING OUT OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND. >> Josh: YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THE REACH BEING A DISADVANTAGE FOR ZEBIAN. >> FOLLOW IT UP! >> John: HE NEEDS TO CLOSE THIS DISTANCE, GET INSIDE THE RING. YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT. DEAL THE FACT YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL. >> Josh: MORE THAN THAT, JOHN. WHEN YOU ARE THE SMALLER GUY WITH THE SMALLER REACH ADVANTAGE, YOU'VE GOT TO GET INSIDE THE POCKET RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU SAW HIM CLINCH THE HEAD AND GET MORE PUNCHES. >> Mike: FOUGHT HERE FEBRUARY THE 15TH OF 2019. LOST A SPLIT DECISION AT 145. SECOND APPEARANCE HERE IN BELLATOR AND THIS ONE AT 155 AGAINST THE NEWCOMER. FIVE PROFESSIONAL WINS, SEVEN AS AN AMATEUR. 12 COMBINED WINS FOR THE NAPPY NINJA AND HE HAS FINISHED ALL OF THEM. >> Josh: [LAUGHS] "NAPPY NINJA"... YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE IT. >> Mike: HE'S THE HAPPY NINJA, I GUESS. >> Josh: I HATED MY NICKNAME AND IT FOLLOWED ME THROUGHOUT THE WAY. >> Mike: IT FITS YOU WELL. >> Josh: JUST SO YOU KNOW, AT HOME, IT'S "THE PUNK." >> Mike: JOHN IS OVER THERE SMILING... >> John: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. ZEBIAN IS ALLOWING THE AKI TO CONTROL THE RING TOO MUCH. USING HIS FEET INSIDE. THE BOXING HE WAS DOING THAT ONE MOMENT? GREAT. BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THOSE LITTLE MOVEMENTS. GET INSIDE. >> Mike: WHEN HE DID DIRTY BOX, HE WAS THROWING. NICE TAKEDOWN. >> John: YOU TAKE AWAY ALL THE LEG, THAT REACH ADVANTAGE? IT'S GONE. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WHEN YOU ARE IN A FIGHT WITH SOMEONE LIKE PIANKHI. >> Josh: HE'S ABLE TO MAKE SPACE A LITTLE BIT EASIER. AS LONG AS HE KEEPS HIS GUARD LOCKED HERE, IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO MAKE THAT. >> Mike: WITH THE PANDEMIC, ZIMMERMAN SENT HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME JUST TRAINING BY HIMSELF, TRAINING A COUPLE OF GUYS WHERE HE GENERALLY LIKES TO TRAVEL AROUND. HE SPENT SOME TIME OVER THE YEARS IN MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN WITH TEAM RUFUS AND TEAM RUFOUSSPORT. LOOKING FOR HIS FIRST BELLATOR WIN. >> John: I NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY A GUY IS LOOKING FOR HIS HEAD, KEEPING HIM IN PLACE WITH THE GUARD OPEN. START TO GET YOURSELF INTO A POSITION WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO INVERT THE POSITION OR GET YOURSELF BACK UP. IT'S LIKE WHAT JOHN WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. IF YOUR BACK HITS THE GROUND, YOU HAVE TO BE LOOKING TOWARDS A SUBMISSION. IF IT'S NOT THERE, GO TOWARDS THE REVERSAL OR GETTING MY FEET BACK UNDERNEATH SO I CAN STAND UP AND GET IT. THAT'S WHERE IT IS RIGHT THERE. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE ON THAT. >> Josh: BEAUTIFUL JOB ON THE TAKEDOWN. THE RIGHT ARM WAS DEEP INTO HIS BUTTON AND IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR HIM TO GET HIS HIPS IN AND LIFT HIGH AND GET THE TAKEDOWN. MIXES A LOT OF ENERGY OUT, THOUGH. IF YOU DON'T GET THEM DOWN YOU ARE WORKING DOUBLE TIME. >> Mike: ALI ZEBIAN HAD SUCCESS AS A TECHNICAL WRESTLER. WE HAVE SEEN HIM PUT THEIR SKILLS ON DISPLAY TWICE WITH SOME GOOD TAKEDOWNS HERE IN ROUND 1. ROUND 1 IN THE BOOKS. [BELL RINGING] TONIGHT, FOLLOWING OR MAIN EVENT, IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL TIME AS THE WYOMING COWBOYS TRAVEL TO FORT COLLINS TO BATTLE COLORADO STATE. YOU CAN CATCH IT ALL ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. OUR MAIN CARD COMES YOUR WAY ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. 7:00 EAST, 4:00 WEST. >> EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING WHEN YOU ARE ON THE GROUND... >> John: ZEBIAN SHOOTING WITH THE TAKEDOWN. ALMOST A TACKLE, BUT IT'S EFFECTIVE. ONCE HE GETS THE MOMENTUM GOING IN THAT DIRECTION. >> Josh: JOHN, THE REASON IT WAS EFFECTIVE AS IT WAS ON THE OPEN AREA. SAME THING WHERE HE ACTUALLY REACHED AROUND AND GOT DEEP ON THE BACKSIDE AND ABLE TO GET THE LIFT ON THE SLIDER. >> Mike: FOURTH STRAIGHT LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT BASICALLY SINCE HIS LAST APPEARANCE IN BELLATOR, SIX WINS AS AN AMATEUR. SIX KNOCKOUTS, THREE OF HIS FOUR PROFESSIONAL WINS HAVE COME BY KNOCKOUTS. RED GLOVES FOR ZEBIAN, BLUE GLOVES FOR ZIMMERMAN. >> Josh: JOHN, LET ME ASK YOU THIS, FOR THOSE WATCHING AT HOME HOW DO YOU SCORE THAT ROUND GIVEN THAT WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING HAPPENING IN THE ROUND? >> John: YOU CAN SAY THAT MOST SIGNIFICANT, BOTH TAKEDOWNS WERE GOOD. THE FIRST ONE WAS A DRIVING TAKEDOWN, GETS HIM INTO THE BACK WITH IT. SECOND ONE YOU LOOK AT THE HIGH CLUTCH, ELEVATING HIM, BRINGING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH SOME FORCE. THAT'LL SCORE MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE DID. IT WAS THE EFFECT OF THE SECOND TAKEDOWN. >> Josh: ZIMMERMAN WAS ABLE TO LAND THE HARDER SHOTS THROUGHOUT THE ROUND. THE DOUBLE LEG GETS IT, GO BACK TO THE SCORING THOUGH, JOHN. HOW DO YOU SCORE THAT? ZIMMERMAN DID LAND THE HARDER SHOTS. HE WAS BLEEDING ONTO ZEBIAN'S CHEST THROUGHOUT THE ROUND. >> John: I WANT YOU TO THINK WHAT TOOK PLACE MORE IN THE FIGHT? STRIKING AND GRAPPLING THE CRITERION TO LOOK AT. OBVIOUSLY THE STRIKING TOOK MORE, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT GAINS THE MOST BECAUSE WHAT DID THE GRAPPLING DUE IN THE FIGHT? NOT A LOT. I ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE SLAM FROM THE SECOND TAKEDOWN IS MORE LIKE A STRIKE. OBVIOUSLY ZIMMERMAN GOT THE JUDGE'S SCORES WHO LANDED MORE EFFECTIVE FIGHTS WHICH TOOK PLACE MORE IN THE ROUND. THE MOST EFFECTIVE THING IS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. >> Mike: EFFECTIVE STRIKE LINK, GRAPPLING, AND CAGE CONTROL. RIGHT, BIG JOHN? >> John: HE'S GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH SWINGING THAT FOOT UP. YOU CAN GO, UP KICK, DO ALL THINGS HE WANTS TO DO. >> Josh: NICE KNEE BY ZIMMERMAN. >> Mike: ZEBIAN'S CORNER TELLING HIM THAT THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO REST. NO REST HERE. GET AFTER IT, GET THE TAKEDOWN. YOU CAN REST ON TOP. >> John: THE REAL QUESTION IS WHEN YOU SEE ALI ZEBIAN TAKE HIM DOWN, HE IS CONTROLLING ZIMMERMAN ON THE GROUND. HE'S NOT INFLICTING DAMAGE. >> Josh: ZIMMERMAN HAS ACTED WITH HIS STRIKES AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT HIS STRIKES, I ALWAYS GO WITH TAKE THEM WHAT THEY ARE HITTING WITH. IF IT'S THAT ARM, JUST THAT WRIST. IT'S A LOW-LEVEL IRRITATION. YOU WANT TO BREAK ALL OF THESE STRIKES DOWN. >> John: HE'S GOT TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THAT KIMURA. >> Mike: ZIMMERMAN WITH A B.A. IN MULTIMEDIA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT. >> Josh: YOU CAN SEE HE HAS MORE DAMAGE ON HIS FACE THAN ZEBIAN'S FACE. WHO IS WINNING THIS ROUND, JOHN? LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT. >> John: EVERY TIME ZEBIAN TAKES ZIMMERMAN DOWN, IT IS ZIMMERMAN TAKING DOWN THE SHOTS. HE'S THE ONE DOING MORE DAMAGE ON THE GROUND EVEN THOUGH ALI IS IN TOP POSITION. RIGHT NOW, ALI IS THE ONE STALLING BECAUSE HIS ARM IS STUCK IN A KIMURA GRIP AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. NOW HE'S STARTING TO STRIKE. >> Mike: STARTING TO CONTROL THE POSTURE FROM THE BOTTOM. ZIMMERMAN IN BLUE, ZEBIAN IN THE RED GLOVES. ONE MINUTE ON THE CLOCK, ROUND NUMBER 2. >> John: ALI HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ZIMMERMAN. HIS HIPS ARE GIVING ALI PROBLEMS. CAUSING HIM TO BE PUT IN POSSIBLE SUBMISSION POSITIONS. >> Josh: IT'S NOT AS MUCH CONTROL OF THE HIPS IS THAT ZIMMERMAN IS GOOD WITH THAT INSIGHT HOOK. WHEN HE'S ABLE TO PUT THE FOOT ON THE HIP AND TO COME BACK, IT CAN CREATE A SCRAMBLE. HE IS ABLE TO A SCRAMBLE. HE'S MAKING ZIMMERMAN WORK TWICE AS HARD. >> John: ZEBIAN WAS ABLE TO LAND SOME GOOD SHOTS THERE. HE'S WORKING HARD TO, AND SO IS ZEBIAN TRYING TO KEEP HIM IN THE SAME POSITION. THIS IS A LOT OF ENERGY OUT THERE. >> Mike: TEN SECONDS, AROUND THE TWO. >> Mike: TEN SECONDS, ROUND 2. [BELL RINGING] >> GOOD JOB. >> Mike: TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:00 EASTERN, DIVE INTO CBS SPORTS NETWORK AS SOME OF THE BEST SWIMMERS TEAM UP AND HIT THE WATER IN BUDAPEST. IT'S THE "INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING LEAGUE" ON THE 24-HOUR HOME OF CBS SPORTS. NO DAMAGE ON THE FACE OF OLLIE'S IMMUNE ALIZEBIAN. HE HAS NOT BEEN STOPPED IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. >> John: ALI ZEBIAN IS LOOKING LIKE ME TAKING A COVID TEST. >> Josh: HAD TO PUSH IN. KICKS IN BACK. ALLOWS HIM TO RUSH BACK IN, TALKING ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THE FIGHTERS IN THE HUGE DIFFERENCE. >> Mike: WHAT ALI ZEBIAN HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF IS LOOKING AT A STAND UP BATTLE AGAINST A GUY WHO HAS GOT A LOT OF REACH ADVANTAGE. [BELL RINGING] HE HAS DONE THAT WITH HIS WRESTLING. THIRD ROUND. ANOTHER ONE CONNECTS. HE'S GOT HEAVY HANDS AND HE LIKES TO THROW, JOHN. >> John: IS IT HIS HANDS THAT SETS UP AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOT TO DO. >> Josh: IT WHERE THE TAKEDOWNS IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS INSTEAD OF IN THE THIRD. HE IS TRYING TO PICK AND CHOOSE HIS SHOTS, HE KNOWS THE TAKEDOWN IS AVAILABLE. >> John: IT WAS A NICE UPTICK. >> Mike: ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE LONG LEGS. EVERY TIME ALI ZEBIAN HAS LOOKED AT A TAKEDOWN, HE HAS DELIVERED. NONE HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY PIANKHI ZIMMERMAN. TRYING TO WORK IN THOSE LONG LEGS. >> John: HE'S GOOD ABOUT KEEPING HIS HIPS FORWARD IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. AS LONG AS PIANKHI ZIMMERMAN IS, YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL ON HOW TO APPROACH A FIGHTER ON HIS BACK. >> Josh: HE NEEDS TO CONTROL ACTION LEVEL WITH HIS HANDS SO ANYTIME HE GOES TO KICK HIM BACK, HE CAN DIVE BY HIMSELF. RIGHT NOW HE'S GOING IN WITH HIS HIPS AND POSTURE UP WHICH IS SMART BUT HE NEEDS TO START WORRYING ABOUT CONTROLLING THE LEGS AS WELL. THAT WILL HELP HIM PASS GUARD WITH A DOMINANT POSITION FROM THE TOP. >> Mike: JOHN, WHO WAS MORE EFFECTIVE IN THE SECOND ROUND? >> John: I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE ALI ZEBIAN THE ROUND BASED ON THE EXPLOSIVENESS OF HIS TAKEDOWNS AND GETTING IN THE TOP POSITION OVER ALL. I THINK THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ROUND HERE. >> Mike: 1-1 IF THE JUDGES ARE THINKING THE SAME WAY AS JOHN. JUST AT ABOUT THE MIDWAY POINT OF THIS THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. ZEBIAN GETS INSIDE, HE WILL THROW BUNCH OF PUNCHES. >> Josh: ZIMMERMAN A LITTLE BIT MORE HESITANT IN THIS ROUND THEN HE WAS IN THE SECOND AND FIRST. >> John: HE SHOULD JUST BE UTILIZING THAT JAB, STICKING, HITTING, JUST BEING PUT OUT THERE TO STOP. >> Josh: I THINK ZIMMERMAN NEEDS TO UTILIZE THAT PUSH BECAUSE THE LEVEL HAS CHANGED RIGHT INTO THAT PUSH KICK. NEED TO START TAKING OUT OF IT. THE LENGTH OF THE KNEE, YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS A GOOD WRESTLER, NOT SAYING IT'S A WASTE, BUT ENDS UP BEING IN GOOD POSITION HERE. >> Mike: HE GOES AFTER HIS TAKEDOWNS, KNOCKING ONE IN RIGHT AWAY. STAYED ON IT AND PUT HIS OPPONENT ON HIS BACK. >> Josh: WE TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME, JOHN AND I, GUYS ARE SO GOOD AT STOPPING THE INITIAL TAKEDOWN. AND NOW IS THE SECOND AND THIRD TAKEDOWN THEY NEED TO START WORKING ON. IF YOU DON'T COME INTO MMA WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF WRESTLING, TALKING ABOUT THE CHANGEUPS AND CHANGING TWO, THREE, FOUR TOGETHER, OBVIOUSLY YOUR CHANGES AT A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IS VERY MINUTE. I'VE GOT TO PAT JOHN ON THE BACK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. YOU GOT IT RIGHT THERE. >> Mike: THERE WAS A KICK THAT JUST MISSED EARLIER FROM PIANKHI PIANKHI, THE RIGHT LEG NEARLY MET THE CHAIN OF ALI ZEBIAN, BUT ALI CLOSES IT AND TURNS IT INTO A WRESTLING MATCH. >> Josh: "NO REST," DO YOU HEAR HIS CORNER CALLING? THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO REST. NOW HE'S TIRED. HE MADE SPACE, CAME BACK IN. NICELY DONE. >> Mike: HE'S GOT TO BE 70% ON HIS TAKEDOWNS. THE FINAL SECONDS OF THIS FIGHT. [BELL RINGING] THEY GO THE DISTANCE. IT IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES. ALI ZEBIAN AND PIANKHI ZIMMERMAN. >> I'M READY TO BANG ANY TIME, BELLATOR. LET ME KNOW. >> John: IF ALI ZEBIAN WINS THIS FIGHT, IT'S BASED RIGHT HERE. GOING TO THE TAKEDOWN, THE TAKEDOWN WAS THERE FOR HIM THE ENTIRE FIGHT. HE WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH IT, ABLE TO PUT ZIMMERMAN ON HIS BACK BUT HE DID TAKE SOME DAMAGE WHEN HE WAS DOWN THERE AT TIMES, BUT HE ALWAYS WENT RIGHT BACK TO IT. ELEVATED ZIMMERMAN MANY TIMES. ALWAYS PUT HIM ON HIS BACK. I DO THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE. >> Josh: JOHN, YOU HEARD HIM SAY THAT HE ONLY TOOK FINAL WEEKS' NOTICE BEARD THAT EXCHANGE IS WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE MORE OF IF HE SECURED THE ROUND. LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT, HE WAS SCARED OF GETTING TIRED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD PERFORMANCE BY ZEBIAN. >> Mike: FOUGHT 35 DAYS AGO IN THE LFA. THIRD FIGHT OF 2020 AND HOPEFUL HE HAS EARNED HIS FIRST WIN INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. IT'S IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES NOW. BUT JUDGES HAVE RENDERED THEIR DECISION. HERE IS MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: WE WILL GO TO YOUR THREE JUDGE YOURS. YOUR FIRST SCORES INTO 29-28. WHILE JUDGES MIKE MURTHA, DOUG CROSBY BOTH SEE IT THE SAME 30-27. ALL HAVE IT. FOR THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, ALI ZEBIAN! >> Mike: ALI ZEBIAN BY UNANIMOUS DECISION ON A WEEK'S NOTICE. >> FINALLY! >> Mike: "FINALLY"... A WIN INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. HAS A LOT OF ENERGY LEFT. BACK UP TO JENN. >> LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, WE'VE GOT THE NIGHT KICKING OFF WITH THESE GUYS RIGHT HERE. DEREK ANDERSON TAKING ON NEWCOMER KILLYS MOTA. BOTH OF THESE GUYS STARTED AT LIGHT WEIGHT, SPENT THEIR CAREER FIGHTING IT LIGHTWEIGHT. TONIGHT THEY ARE MOVING UP TO 170. CHAEL, WE TALKED TO DEREK ANDERSON ABOUT MOVING UP. SAID I FEEL GREAT AT 178. YOU SAW HIM AT THE WEIGH-INS. >> IT REJUVENATES THEM AND FRESHENS THEIR MIND. BEING IN THE SCALE YOUR VERY FIRST FIGHT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEAT THE SCALE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR OPPONENT TONIGHT. >> ANDERSON DOESN'T FIGHT OFTEN BUT WHEN HE DOES HE'S A GUY WHO GETS INTO THOSE SLUGFESTS. PROBABLY NOT THE SMARTEST APPROACH BUT CERTAINLY EXCITING. IS THAT THE BEST GAME PLAN TONIGHT AGAINST MOTA, A SLUGFEST? >> GOOD FOR YOU FOR SAYING THAT, WE ARE HERE TO HAVE FUN. TURNS A MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FIGHT INTO A STRAIGHT UP BRAWL. IT IS NOT AS IF HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING ON HIS FEET. IS IT A LITTLE RECKLESS? SURE. IS IT AWESOME? OF COURSE! >> MOTA COME A VERY, FOUR SUBMISSIONS TO HIS CREDIT, ALSO SHOWCASED HIS STAND-UP DISPLAY IN HIS LANCED DOWN LIKE LAST FIGHT WITH HIS LEG KICKS. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM TAKE THIS FIGHT? >> I DON'T THINK THE DEFENSE IS SLIPPING OR GETTING OUT OF THE WAY. I THINK HIS POWER IS A LITTLE BIT MORE. I MUST SHARE WITH YOU THAT IT'S NOT A POPULAR OPINION BUT IT IS MINE. >> HOPE IT MAKES FOR AN EXCITING FIGHT TONIGHT. LET'S GET BACK TO THE FIGHT ACTION. >> THAT'S THE FIRST FIGHT ON OUR MAIN CARD. FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE NOW, JESSIE MERELY RIGHT BACK IN THE CAGE PEERED THE BLACK BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU AGAINST JANAY HARDING. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE, 145. FIVE PROFESSIONAL WINS FOR HARDING, FIVE PROFESSIONAL WINS FOR JESSY MIELE AGAINST THE FORMER CHAMPION JULIA BUD. >> John: ALL THAT'S GOING TO DO IS MAKE HER BETTER AND THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID TONIGHT. >> Mike: IT'S TIME TO GET IT GOING. HERE IS MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: THE PRETTY LIMBS ROLL ON. IN THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS INTRODUCING OUT OF THE BLUE CORNER AT 5'8" WEIGHING IN AT 145.7 POUNDS, PROFESSIONAL RECORD FIVE WINS, FOUR LOSSES.

BY WAY OF THE GOLD COAST, SHE FIGHTS OUT OF SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, JANAY "HOLLOW-POINT" HARDING! AND OUR REVERIE, TODD ANDERSON. >> Mike: TODD ANDERSON OUR REFEREE FOR THIS FIGHT. BORN IN NEW ZEALAND, TRAINS IN AUSTRALIA. JESSY MIELE [BELL RINGING] THE WOMEN MEET AT THE CENTER OF THE CAGE IMMEDIATELY. THE RED GLOVES FOR HARDING, BLUE GLOVES FOR MIELE. THAT FIGHT WAS BACK ON AUGUST 21ST. WENT THE DISTANCE WITH THE FORMER CHAMPION. >> John: EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEE FROM JANAY HARDING. NEEDS TO MAINTAIN HERSELF IN THE CENTER OF THE CAGE. SHE HAS GOT REALLY GOOD TECHNICAL STAND UP FIGHTING. MIELE HAS THE ADVANTAGE BY FAR IN THIS ROUND. >> Mike: SHUT OUT TO ONE OF OUR COACHES BACK IN AUSTRALIA, OUR BODY THE KICK OF ROCK AND RUMBLE, ELVIS I'VE ALREADY HEARD MIELE'S CORNER SAY LEVEL CHANGES, KEEP HER GUESSING. >> John: THAT WAS A CLEAN RIGHT HAND LANDED RIGHT THERE. >> Mike: VERY CLEAN STRIKING. A CLEAN RIGHT HAND, VERY SHARP, VERY TECHNICALLY SOUND. YOU SEE THE HAND COME RIGHT BACK TO THE CHIN. >> John: WE'VE SEEN HER HURT OTHER WOMEN. BASED ON A CUT, BUT IT WAS A STRIKING THAT CAUSE THE CUT. JUST PUT ONE ON THE CHIN OF HER OPPONENT. >> NICE INSIDE ELBOW. THAT ELBOW WILL WORK MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY. >> TRYING TO PUT THE PUNCH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. NICE TRANSITION FOR HER. >> EVERY FIGHTER, EVERY BODY IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN AFFECTED THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, JANAY TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE WAS FORTUNATE IN AUSTRALIA THAT AFTER THE FIRST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS, THINGS GOT BACK TO A BIT MORE NORMAL FOR HER AS FAR AS PREPARING FOR A FIGHT. YOU WILL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT HERE AGAINST A VERY TOUGH OPPONENT IN JESSY MIELE. LAST FOUR FIGHTS FOR JESSY HAVE GONE INTO THE FOURTH ROUND. NEVER QUESTION THE DURABILITY OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT,'S JESSIE IMMEDIATELY JESSYMIELE. >> John: LOOKS LIKE JESSY MIELE MIGHT HAVE ONE ON THE HAIRLINE. NICE FRAMING JOB BY JANAY HARDING BUT STAYING IN THE CLINCH WITH JESSY, BRINGING THE FIGHT TO THE CENTER OF THE CAGE. >> Josh: I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT BIG OF A RISK, HAD HER BACK GOT PUT TO THE FENCE I WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED IN THAT SITUATION. >> Mike: FOUR OVER FIVE PROFESSIONAL WINS BY KNOCKOUT DOES JESSY MIELE DOING A NICE JOB TYING HER UP AND NEUTRALIZING HER. >> Josh: I SPOKE TOO SOON! >> John: VERY GOOD JOB GETTING HER BACK TO HER FEET, THOUGH. IF THIS GOES TO THE POINT WHERE YOU SEE HER SHOULDER BLADES STAYING IN THAT POSITION, IT IS NOT THE PLACE WHERE SHE IS GOING TO WIN THIS FIGHT AGAINST JESSY. >> Mike: COMING OFF A TOUGH BATTLE WITH AMANDA BELL. WELL DONE BY JANAY HARDING. ROUND 1. >> THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL ELBOW. BASICALLY SAYING, JOHN, YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH ME ENOUGH, I'M GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN AND PROVE IT TO YOU. WE WILL SEE IF SHE CAN HANG HERE WAS SOMEONE AS GOOD AS JESSY IS ON THE GROUND. >> Josh: SHE IS FIGURE OUT SHE'S NOT AS PHYSICALLY STRONG AS HER AND THAT SHE CAN DOMINATE HER FROM THE TOP POSITION. >> John: NO DOUBT THAT WHEN YOU BRING STRIKING TO THE REACTION, IT'LL QUICKLY MAKE YOU A LIGHT BELT. >> Mike: JANAY HARDING A SHUTTLE CON SHOTOKAN KARATE BLACK BELT. [BELL RINGING] GOOD FIRST ROUND. BELLATOR FANS, GEAR UP IN THE SAME APPAREL THE FIGHTERS WHERE AT BellatorShop.com. PURCHASE NOW AND GET 10% OFF WITH PROMO CODE "CHAMPION." SO THAT CUT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UNDER THE RIGHT EYE OF HARDING. >> John: THAT WAS A CLEAN LEFT HAND. BEAUTIFUL UPPERCUT BY JESSY MIELE BUT YOU LOOK, HERE SHE GOES. JANAY HARDING TAKES HER DOWN. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE TOP POSITION. WE HAVE SEEN JANAY AT THE GROUND WITH OTHER LADIES AND IT HAS BEEN HER UNDOING. >> Josh: JOHN, THAT STRAIGHT LEFT? WATCH THE CLASH OF HEADS. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE I SAW THAT REALLY QUICK IN THE EXCHANGE. THAT'S WHERE THE CLASH WAS. THE GLOVE HIT THE I COMPARED TO ABOVE THE EYE. >> Mike: JANAY HARDING AFTER HER FIGHT WITH AMANDA BELL SAID SHE'S WORKED ON HER WRESTLING ENDURANCE. SHE HAD TO BE PUSHED HARD IN THAT FIGHT IN THE GRAPPLING AND WRESTLING BY AMANDA BELL AND IT HAD AN IMPACT ON THE GAS TANK. NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN. JESSY MIELE GOING THE DISTANCE WITH JULIA BUD AND JESSY MIELE MORE CONFIDENCE IN HERSELF. SHE BELIEVES SHE HAS TURNED A CORNER IN HER SKILL SET. TECHNICALLY SEES SHE SAID JULIAOUTGAINED HER AT N YOU GO THE DISTANCE, SHE DID A GOOD JOB. >> Josh: JOHN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE PANDEMIC AND GOLD HE BROUGHT IT UP AS WELL WITH JANAY HARDING. A LOT OF THOSE FIGHTERS DURING THAT TIME OFF, IT GAVE THEM THE ITCH AGAIN, THERE ARE THINGS I WANT TO WORK ON, THEY ARE SENDING HOME SCHEMING IN THEIR MIND LIKE WHAT DO I NEED TO GET BETTER AT? I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU THAT JANAY HARDING LOOKS INCREDIBLE. THE HIP TOSSES, THE GROUND AND POUND, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE'VE SEEN FROM HER BEFORE. HAD A LITTLE BIT IN SMALL DOSES BUT LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIGHTER IN THIS FIGHT. >> John: SHE'S DONE A LOT OF GOOD WORK WHERE WE'VE SEEN HER HAVE SOME PROBLEMS BEFORE. I THINK JUST BASIC MISTAKES, SHE HASN'T MADE THOSE SAME MISTAKES. SHE LANDED THAT INSIDE ELBOW, A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HER GAME WHEN SHE'S BEEN IN THIS CLINCH. >> Mike: HER HEAD COACH, NOW IT IS JESSY MIELE GRABBING ONTO THE NECK OF HER OPPONENT. NICELY DONE BY JESSY MIELE. CAN LOCK IT IN. >> Josh: THIS GOES BACK TO THE LENGTH AND REACH. TRYING TO GET IT OVER, BUT GOT THE LEGS TO PUT THIS OUT BY A LARGER BASE. >> John: JANAY HARDING PRESSING IN ON JESSY MIELE AND THAT'S CREATING A GOOD DEFENSE RIGHT NOW. SHE'S SITTING THERE PUTTING PRESSURE ON HER. HER HEAD IS STUCK, BUT SHE IS NOT IN DANGER. >> Josh: I CAN'T TELL YOU, CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE, HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IS. >> John: IT'S NOT. >> Mike: CRANKING ON THAT NECK FROM AN AWKWARD POSITION. >> Josh: YELLING AT HER TO PUT HER IN THE BUTTERFLY HOOK AND SWEEP FROM THAT POSITION. IF YOU DON'T GET IT, YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON TOP. SHE NEEDS TO SWEEP HER TO THE SAME SIDE. IT'LL BE HARDER TO GET HER ON THE BACKSIDE. >> Mike: ALMOST OUT. SHE GOT IT. >> Josh: THAT'S WHERE SHE GOT OUT. JESSY MIELE, THE BLACK BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU. JOHN, YOU CAN HEAR THOSE SHOTS. THOSE ARE VERY HARD GROUND AND POUND SHOTS. A BIG PORTION OF WHAT SHE'S WORKED ON IN HER TIME OFF. YOU CAN HEAR THE CORNER VERY WELL. SHE'S STARTING TO THROW DOWN THE DAMAGE ON JESSIE NEELY. >> John: DON'T MAKE HER GO DOWN, MAKE HER PAY. >> Josh: IF I CAN GIVE ONE CRITIQUE OF JANAY HARDING, SHE HAS THAT TAE KWON DO KICK WHERE SHE DOESN'T TURN HER HIP AND THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF POWER BEHIND IT SO PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO CATCH IT JUST LIKE SHE DID WITH JESSIE NEELY. >> John: SEE HER USING HER HEAD, POSITIONING IT UNDER THE JAW LINE, PUSHING HER HEAD TO THE SIDE. SHE'S DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK IN THE CLINCH WERE BEFORE SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. >> Mike: A GREAT DISPLAY OF MMA. AND THAT WASN'T BAD AT ALL. [BELL RINGING] THE CORNER OF JESSIE NEELY. >> KNEE-DEEP, FASTER. YOU ARE HESITATING AND SECOND-GUESSING YOURSELF. YOU HAVE TO -- YOU ARE GETTING ALL THE POSITIONS, BUT YOU ARE NOT GETTING THEM, ALL RIGHT? FOR ALL THE MARBLES, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT? GO OUT AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. YOU'VE GOT THIS, ALL RIGHT? YOU GOT TO FOCUS AND GRAPPLE! SMALL STEPS, SHE COULDN'T TAKE IT DOWN. NOTHING. LET'S GO! COACH VERY ANIMATED IN THE CORNER. GOT OURSELVES A CLOSE FIGHT. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. HARDING IN THE RED GLOVES, MIELE IN THE BLUE GLOVES. HARDING, LAST FALL, NOVEMBER 8TH OF LAST YEAR, THAT FIGHT AGAINST AMANDA BELL THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. >> John: I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE CORNER AS FAR AS THE CUT PERSON. DOES A VERY GOOD JOB OF STOPPING THAT CUT, KEEPING IT UNDER CONTROL, NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO. DEFINITELY HELP THE FIGHTER GET TO ANOTHER ROUND. >> Mike: I WONDER WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CUT. >> Josh: SAID, LOOK, YOU'RE GETTING TO ALL THE POSITIONS, YOU'RE JUST NOT GETTING THE TECHNIQUE. YOU JUST HAVE TO F-BOMB CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SKILLS. LOOKING FOR THE ARM BAR AND FINISH THERE. >> Mike: A STRONG FIGHT FOR JESSY MIELE THAT'S GOING TO ROUND NUMBER 3. SHOTS TO THE BODY FROM THE TOP POSITION. >> John: YOU CAN HEAR THE CORNER TALKING ABOUT ATTACKED THE ARM. LOOKING FOR THE STRAIGHT ARM LOCK. >> Josh: ACTUALLY LIKE WHAT SHE WAS DOING, JOHN. SHE ATTACKED IT, ABLE TO USE HER STRENGTH TO PULL IT BACK AND SO SHE WAS TRYING TO SOFTEN UP BEFORE SHE ATTACKED AGAIN. FORTUNATELY JANAY HARDING ABLE TO SWEEP OVER. >> John: SHE STILL HAS GOT THE KIMURA GRIP. SHE'S GOT TO PULL IT OUT, ISOLATE IT. >> Josh: SHE IS ON THE WRONG SIDE. BUT THE FENCE IS IN HER WAY. WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FROM THIS POSITION IS POSSIBLY HOLDING IT WITH ONE ARM AND REALLY GRABBING HER RIGHT ANKLE AND PULLING IT FOR THE UMA PLATA TO CREATE SOME SORT OF SCRAMBLE TO GET BACK ON TOP. >> John: I'M GLAD SHE'S TRYING TO UTILIZE HER RIGHT LEG TO PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF JANAY HARDING SO SHE CAN GET IT OUT AND POSSIBLY PUT IT ON HER SHOULDER. >> Mike: HARDING WAS ABLE TO POSTURE UP A BIT. IT IS STILL RIGHT THERE TAKING SIDE AWAY FROM BOTH WOMEN UP AGAINST THE CAGE JUST PAST THE MIDWAY POINT, THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. >> Josh: THAT KIMURA, TRYING TO HIT THAT TRIANGLE. SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY THERE. DEEP. THAT'S GETTING DEEP, JOHN. >> John: SHE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE TO KEEP THAT LEFT ARM ON THE OUTSIDE. SHE'S TRYING TO PULL IT THERE. >> Josh: JANAY HARDING NEEDS TO GET HER HEAD AND LOOKED TO THE SKY. STEP UP WITH THE RIGHT LEG. SHE IS GOING TO THE WRONG SIDE RIGHT NOW, MAKING THAT TIGHTER. >> John: SHE NEEDS TO GET HER HEAD HIGH. RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO TRIANGLE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE HER ANKLES ARE CROSSED. THERE IS NO REAL PRESSURE. >> Mike: THERE IS CONTROL OF HER OPPONENT. TRANSITION TO THE ARM BAR, JOHN. >> Josh: SHE'S STEPPING OVER THE BODY. SHE NEEDS TO GET HER ARM OUT. THROWING SOME GOOD STRIKES TO THE BOTTOM AND NOW JANAY HARDING TRYING TO RETURN FIRE IN DOING SO. BOTH HOOKS ARE IN. >> Josh: THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE. >> Josh: SHE'S GOT TO BE CAREFUL CROSSING HER FEET. >> Mike: 40 SECONDS. >> John: I WOULD SAY TO GO PALM TO PALM. >> Mike: TRY TO BREAK HER DOWN. SHE'S ON THE RIGHT SIDE. >> Josh: WASN'T ABLE TO LOCK HER ARM PROPERLY. >> John: JANAY HARDING STARTING TO BRING THIS ROUTE BACK THOUGH IF SHE CAN GET THAT DEEP. >> Mike: I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, JOHN. THAT'S UNDER THE CHIN, JOHN. TEN SECONDS APPEARED THAT'S TIGHT. CAN SHE FINISH THIS FIGHT? [BELL RINGING] THEY GO THE DISTANCE! WHAT A WAY TO FINISH FOR JANAY HARDING. >> Josh: WOW. >> Mike: I KNOW MY BUDDY THE KING OF ROCK AND RUMBLE WAS THINKING, COME ON, GET IT! BOTH WOMEN LEFT AT ALL IN THE BELLATOR CAGE. THAT WAS A FUN FIGHT BACK AND FORTH. >> John: A COUPLE OF THESE ATTEMPTS AT THE REAR NAKED CHOKE. SOME OF THEM IN THE FIRST ONE WASN'T VERY GOOD. BUT THIS WAS THE LAST ONE AND THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ROUND RIGHT HERE, MIKE. THIS IS ON TIGHT AND IF THAT DOESN'T GO OFF, THAT FIGHT IS GOING TO BE OVER AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE REASON JANAY HARDING SHOULD BE WINNING THIS. >> Josh: ABLE TO GET UNDER THE CHIN RIGHT AWAY AND SHE FELL BACK TO THAT CHOKING SIDE WHICH IS WHAT GOT HER TO SET IT UP. NICELY DONE EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T GET THE FINISH. >> Mike: SEE THE EVOLUTION OF HER GAME, THAT IS FOR CERTAIN. JOHN, MOMENT OF TRUTH. HOW DO YOU SCORE IT? >> John: SHE WON THAT ROUND BASED ON THE END? JANAY HARDING SHOULD BE THE WINNER OF THIS FIGHT. >> Mike: ALL THREE ROUNDS, DO YOU HAVE A 29-28? >> John: TO BE HONEST, I DON'T REMEMBER. I KNOW I HAD JANAY HARDING WINNING THE SECOND AND THIRD AND THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW. >> Mike: MY NECK IS STILL SORE WATCHING JANAY HARDING'S NECK BEING CRANKED ON. THE JUDGES HAVE RENDERED THEIR DECISION ONCE AGAIN. THE VOICE MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR THE DECISION WE GO TO YOUR THREE JUDGES. ALL THREE, MICHAEL BELL, DOUG CROSBY, BRIAN MINOR SEE IT EXACTLY THE SAME 30-27. ALL HAVE THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, JANAY "HOLLOW-POINT" HARDING! >> Mike: I TELL YOU WHAT, JESSY MIELE IS A GAMER. >> John: NO DOUBT. >> Mike: SHE'S ONE TOUGH FIGHTER.

HOW WILL THE EXTRA 15 POUNDS TRANSLATE IN THE CAGE TONIGHT? >> I THINK IT'S A GREAT MOVE. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO MOVE DOWN TO WELTERWEIGHT, 10 POUNDS ABOVE AND HE'S A BIG GUY, VERY LEAN, VERY STRONG. I DON'T THINK HE HAS TO PUT THAT STRESS ON HIS BODY. I THINK IT'S TOO LATE. QUICK BACK STORY TO WHY HE'S DOING THIS, HE SWITCHES JAMES, HE NOW TRAINS WE WILL BOTH WIN A TITLE. >> CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT.

HE SHOT FROM TOO FAR OUT. WHEN YOU FIGHT LONGER GUYS THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO REACT. WE HAVE TO GET INSIDE THAT DISTANCE BUT DIDN'T SET IT UP WITH REACTION. >> Mike: ALEX WRESTLED IN NORTHWESTERN. LIVES IN MADISON, WISCONSIN. PROBABLY WILL TAKE SOME LITTLE HEAT OFF OF THAT ONE. >> John: JUST TOOK SOME HEAT WITH THAT RIGHT HAND. >> Mike: WELL PLAYED, JOHN. NICE JAB. >> Josh: THERE IS JUST NOT A LOT OF WASTED MOVEMENT. NICE, STIFF JABS, HE'S BURYING PUNCHES NICE AND SMOOTHLY AND AS TIME AND GETS OUT, HE'LL START PARRYING AND COUNTERING. >> John: HE SETTING HIMSELF UP, SLIDING IN, EXITING OUT. >> Mike: NOT ONLY DID HE STOP THE TAKEDOWN, HE SNUCK IN A LITTLE BIT OF A NEED TO THE MIDSECTION TO HIS OPPONENT IN DOING SO. SPEED THROUGH THE LEGS ARE STARTING TO BE A REAL PROBLEM >> John: THE LEGS ARE STARTING TO BE A REAL PROBLEM. GOT TO BE CAREFUL REACHING OUT WITH HIS HANDS, HIS HANDS WIDE OPEN. THAT OPEN FIST? THE TIME IT WAS CLOSED. >> Mike: THE ONLY LOSS OF JULIUS ANGLICKAS HIS PERSONAL DOLL MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER WAS HIS SECOND FIGHT WAY BACK IN 2016 AND HIS BELLATOR WIN WAS AA FIGHTER WHO WAS 11-0, JORDAN YOUNG, AND JULIUS WAS HAPPY WITH HOW HE WAS ABLE TO CRUSH JORDAN YOUNG IN THE FIGHT. >> John: YOU SAW HIM DO TO JORDAN YOUNG WHAT HE'S DOING TONIGHT WITH POLIZZI. EVERYTHING IS A STRAIGHT SHOT. DOESN'T WINNING SHOTS FROM THE SIDE. VERY STRAIGHT, DOWN, LINEAR SHOTS RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE AND HE'S CONNECTING. >> Josh: NICE KNEE. NICELY DONE. LIKE JOHN WAS TALKING ABOUT, GOLDIE, ANGLICKAS IS KNOWING THE STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND. BUT YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING AT HOME, THERE IS NO WASTED MOVEMENT. HE'S NOT WASTING HIS HANDS BEFORE HE THROWS THEM. HE'S NOT FLINCHING BEFORE HE GOES. HE'S TURNING THE HIP AND HIS ELBOW COMING FROM THE HIP AS HE TURNS HIS BODY. IF I THROW A GOLF BALL RIGHT TO YOUR FACE, YOU CAN TELL HOW FAST IT'S COMING. BUT IF I SWING A BASEBALL BAT AT YOUR HEAD YOU CAN SEE IT POTENTIALLY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ANGLICKAS. THAT'S HIS FIRST LOOPING SHOT OF THE FIGHT. >> Mike: THAT'S OKAY! >> Josh: HE'S HAVING SO MUCH SUCCESS WITH THAT JAB AND RIGHT HAND. >> Mike: SO YOU SNEAK IN A HOOK ONCE IN A WHILE. >> John: THAT WAS A NICE TAKEDOWN. HE WAS DEEP ON THAT. LET'S SEE IF POLIZZI CAN MAKE THIS STICK. >> Mike: MIKE CLEVENGER ONE OF THE NEW TRAINING PARTNERS OF POLIZZI. ALL THAT WORK. >> Josh: IT'S FRUSTRATING. >> John: IT'S COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING. >> Josh: TAKING ALL THE 1-2S AND THE GUY JUST GETS UP. >> Mike: BOTH MEN ENJOY VICTORIES IN THEIR BELLATOR DEBUTS. >> John: POLIZZI CANNOT CONTINUE ON THIS FIGHT WITH THE SHOTS HE'S TAKING, THE WAY HE'S TAKING THEM. HE'S GOT TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE ALL THESE PUNCHES ARE GOING TO HAVE A BIG EFFECT GOING INTO THE NEXT ROUND. [BELL RINGING] SPEAK A GOOD, BOYS. >> Mike: TOP OF THE HOUR, WE ARE LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK AS WE GET STARTED WITH DEREK ANDERSON AND KILLYS MOTA. CHAEL TALKED ABOUT AUSTIN VANDERFORD. HIS WIFE PAIGE VANZANT, AUSTIN TOLD US SHE LIKES SOUTH FLORIDA. HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE. TYRELL FORTUNE, SAID SOWMA, AND THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, FEATURES THE BELLATOR DEBUT OF COREY "OVERTIME" ANDERSON VERSUS MELVIN MANHOEF. >> John: TAKE A LOOK AT THE STRAIGHT SHOTS THAT ANGLICKAS THROWS. NICE 1-2S, POPPING THE HEAD OF THE EASY BACK. DOESN'T RUSH IN. NICE, CALM, SETS IT BACK UP. EVERYTHING THAT ANGLICKAS WAS DOING, VERY CALCULATED, NOT A LOT OF WASTED MOTION. NICE FIRST ROUND BY ANGLICKAS. >> Mike: PUSHING FORWARD VERY EARLY IN ROUND 2, JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE RANGE IN WHICH @BellatorMMA ANGLICKAS HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL. >> John: I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT HIS CORNER HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO. STAY OUT OF THE POCKET, STICK PUNCHES. >> Mike: ALEX POLIZZI WENT THE DISTANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER HIS LAST FIGHT. THAT WAS SINCE HIS AMATEUR CAREER AGAINST A FORMER CHAMPION AS JOHN SAID BEFORE, RAFAEL CABALLO. HE SAID HE BELT IN CONTROL AND HE SAID I IMPROVED IN EVERY FIGHT. LET'S GO! >> John: RIGHT NOW POLIZZI IS IN THE POSITION HE'S GOT TO FIGURE OUT HE'S GOT A GUY WHO HIS TECHNICALLY TEARING IT UP WITH JUST THE BASIC BOXING APPROACH BEAR HE'S NOT REALLY PICKING, HE'S WALKING DOWN AND HITTING THE 1-2. >> Josh: HAS TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE KNEES ARE THERE ALL DAY LONG. NICE LIFT. HAVE GOT TO BE CAREFUL DOING THOSE TYPE OF TAKEDOWNS. AS THE FIGHT GOES ON AND YOU ARE GETTING MORE TIRED AND GETTING HIT WITH BIG SHOTS. THAT METER STARTS GOING DOWN AND IT BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER AS WE SEE. >> Mike: THE KNEE RIGHT BACK UP. IF DONALD CERRONE TURNED INTO A POWER LIFTER, HE AND JULIUS COULD BE TWINS. DO YOU THINK? >> John: IT'S CLOSE... COWBOY HAS GOT AWAY BETTER BEARD. >> Mike: THAT IS TRUE. JOSH, SOMETHING YOU TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN HOME, POP RIGHT BACK UP. >> Josh: HE'S SETTLED IN WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE FENCE WITH ONE RIGHT LEG FREE, A THIRD LEG TO START LEANING AGAINST. PULLING NICELY WITH HIS HANDS. >> Josh: MAY BE SOMETHING WILL OPEN UP BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HE'S NOT HAVING A LOT OF SUCCESS GETTING INTO THAT TAKEDOWN. >> Mike: JULIUS IS STARTING WITH THE BODY AS WELL. >> John: NOW BACK TO THE BODY. NOTHING FANCY WITH HIS SYSTEM, VERY GOOD WITH WHAT HE DOES AND EVERYTHING IS SHARP, EVERYTHING IS TIGHT. >> Mike: I LIKE THE HUMBLENESS OF 29-YEAR-OLD JULIUS ANGLICKAS. WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS GREATEST STRENGTH IS, HE SAID, I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT. I TRY TO BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING, I THOUGHT I STARTED AS A GOOD WRESTLER, BUT I WAS FINISHING PEOPLE WITH STRIKES, PEOPLE SAID I WAS A STRIKER. NOW HE WORKS ON EVERYTHING HE BELIEVES DILIGENTLY. >> Josh: THE WAY THE FIGHT CONTINUES, HE CAN ONLY TAKE SO MANY SHOTS. THOSE SHOTS ARE STARTING TO ADD UP. HIS HEAD IS GETTING SNAPPED BACK IN THIS ROUND NOW. >> Mike: PERFECT 7-0, 1-0 ANE BELLATOR. AS WE MENTIONED, THESE GUYS ARE A COMBINED 15-1. >> Josh: IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GOOD OF SHAPE YOU ARE IN. IT JUST STARTS WEARING DOWN ON YOU AND YOUR BODY JUST CAN'T TAKE IT AND YOU JUST, YOUR MUSCLE FATIGUE STARTS TO SET IN. THOSE BIG KNEES RIGHT THERE. >> John: POLIZZI PROVING HE IS TOUGH, HE'S A DATE DOWN THAT GAME. CAN TAKE IT. >> Josh: RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO HE HASN'T SET UP HIS SHOTS AND I THINK THAT'S HAVING AN EFFECT ON HIM. >> John: IT'S A MATTER OF I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN SET IT UP THE RIGHT WAY. >> YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM DOWN AND MAKE IT UGLY. EVERY TIME HE KICKS, THROW THE RIGHT HAND. >> Mike: OUT OF ST. CHARLES MMA IN MISSOURI. 5 MINUTES REMAINING IN THIS LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT. JULIUS ANGLICKAS IS ALSO 7-0 IN HIS LAST SEVEN FIGHTS. >> Josh: YOU COULD PUT HIM ON A BOTTLE OF MR. CLEAN. [BELL RINGING] >> Mike: ALEX POLIZZI SAID, THE THING I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO, DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE PERFECT TECHNIQUE, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO AND NEED TO DO A LOT OF IT HERE INSIDE OF 4 MINUTES AND 40 SECONDS. >> GETTING THE SAME ADVICE EVERY CORNER SHOULD BE LETTING THEIR FIGHTER DOWN, IT'S THAT YOU ARE DOWN AND WE NEED TO KEEP A FINISH. YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS A DOGFIGHT. NO MORE THIS TOUCH TOUCH, SET THINGS UP. GO OUT AND MAKE YOUR DOGFIGHT. >> Josh: IT'S IN TIGHT... >> John: I WONDER IF HE HAS A GOOD ANGLE ON IT. BUT HE STILL STUCK. HE'S GOT HIS ARM BACK IN THERE. >> Mike: JOIN THE CONVERSATION ON ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS WITH #Bellator251. HIS HEAD IS UP. >> John: TRYING TO ROTATE THE ARM BAR NO MATTER WHAT HIS POSITION. TRY TO MAKE THE MOVEMENT THAT'S GOING TO CATCH ANGLICKAS IN POSITION WHERE HE IS A LITTLE BEHIND AND TRY TO GET IN POSITION. >> Mike: YOU SEE THE EFFECT OF SWEATY FIGHTERS IN THE THIRD ROUND. WHEN ALEX PUT HIS ARM AROUND JULIUS A SECOND AGO, HIS ARM SLID RIGHT OFF. >> Josh: DECIDED TO GO BACK TO HIS BASE OF YOU COULD FALL FROM THERE. HE'S GOT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THIS IS AN ARM BAR POSITION HERE IT IS HARDER TO GET BUT IT'S THE UPSIDE DOWN WITH TEN TRIANGLE, STARTING TO LOCK THAT IN. I THINK TOO MANY SHOTS, JOHN, POLIZZI IS TIRED. HE'S NOT SEEING THE TRANSITIONS HE NEEDS TO END UP GETTING THE FINISH. >> John: I LOOK ALEX POLIZZI AND, YOU ARE TOUGH, YOU ARE STILL TRYING IN THIS FIGHT. HAVEN'T GIVEN UP. TAKEN A LOT OF SHOTS. >> WHERE IS YOUR FOOT AT? VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE TONIGHT ON JULIAN AND GLICK US. JULIUS ANGLICKAS. >> John: STAYED TIGHT TO MAYBE HE CAN GET THIS TAKEDOWN, BUT HE STILL BEING SMART. >> Mike: BEING AT AROUND 205 ON THE SCALE, POLIZZI WEIGHING IN AT 203.6, BUT A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THIS MATCHUP. >> John: I CAN TELL YOU THAT ANGLICKAS IS NOWHERE NEAR 205 RIGHT NOW. >> Mike: HE'LL BE 212 IF HE WENT ON THE SCALE. >> John: HE TOOK A BIG BREATH OF AIR. YOU HEAR THE HEAVY BREATHING FROM BOTH SIDES? PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S EXHAUSTING TO CARRY SOMEONE ELSE'S WEIGHT. ALSO TRYING TO MOVE THEM SO YOU CAN GET TO A DOMINANT POSITION. WHEN YOU GET THERE, IT'S MY TURN TO GO. >> Josh: HE DOESN'T GET DAMAGED WITH A STRAIGHT 1-2. BEING CLOSE IS GOOD FOR THEM RIGHT NOW, POSSIBILITY WE CAN LAND A BIG STRIKE AND ALL IT TAKES IS ONE. >> Mike: RUNNING OUT OF TIME. THEY ARE GOING TO GO THE DISTANCE. SECOND STRAIGHT FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE WITH ALEX POLIZZI. JORDAN YOUNG WAS 11-0, 6-0 IN BELLATOR. TELLS YOU THEY'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF WRESTLING. NOT A GUY WE'D EVER WANT TO HAVE. >> Josh: YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY FIGHTERS ARE AFRAID OF YOU. >> Mike: INTO THE JUDGES ONCE AND 13 COMBINE AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS, THIS FIGHT WILL BE NUMBER TWO. THE OFFICIAL DECISION IS IN. HERE IS MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: THE THREE JUDGES AT CAGE SIDE I'LL SEE IF THE SAME, 30-27. MIKE MURTHA HAVE IT BY UNANIMOUS DECISION.

WE ARE SET FOR OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR OUR LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT. BRYCE LOGAN IS BACK. FIVE YEARS LONGER THEN GEORGIA KARATE AND ONCEAGAIN, HERE IS MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: WE CLOSE DOWN "BELLATOR 251" PRELIMS WITH THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS IN THE LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION. AT 5'9" WEIGHING IN 155.2 POUNDS, PROFESSIONAL RECORD 12 WINS, FOUR LOSSES, BY WAY OF SOUTH DAKOTA, HE FIGHTS OUT OF SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, BRYCE LOGAN! ACROSS THE CAGE, ADVERSARY OUT OF THE RED CORNER AT 5'8", WEIGHING IN 155.8 POUNDS. AS A PROFESSIONAL, THE VETERAN BREAKS 39 WINS, 11 LOSSES, ONE DRAW. ORIGINALLY FROM MOSCOW, HE FIGHTS OUT OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, GEORGI "INSANE" KARAKHANYAN. THE REFEREE KERRY HATLEY. >> Mike: RF REFER THIS LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT. 43RD PROFESSIONAL FIGHT FOR GEORGI KARAKHANYAN. BRYCE LOGAN RETURNS TO THE BELLATOR CAGE. TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. KARAKHANYAN IN THE RED GLOVES, LOGAN AND THE BLUE GLOVES. BRYCE LOGAN WON THE VACANT LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE IN THE LFA. HE'S ON A THREE FIGHT WIN STREAK SINCE HIS LAST APPEARANCE IN THE BELLATOR CAGE. THRILLED TO BE BACK. BEEN TRAINING AT FIGHT READY. HE SAID YOU WILL SEE A MUCH DIFFERENT FIGHTER THAN THE ONE YOU SAW IN SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA BACK IN 2018. HE'S GOT A TOUGH ONE IN GEORGI KARAKHANYAN. >> Josh: HE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE GEORGI MOVE BACKWARDS. WHEN HE MOVES FORWARD COME HE'S VERY SUCCESSFUL. HAVING GEORGIA GO BACKWARD, THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. HE'S GOT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. >> Mike: BRYCE LOGAN LOVED THE MATCHUP OR HIS RETURN TO BELLATOR BECAUSE HE SAID THAT A TRUE FIGHTER WANTS TO BE TESTED AND A WIN OVER SOMEONE LIKE GEORGI KARAKHANYAN WOULD GIVE HIM INSTANT CREDIBILITY. COMING OFF A TOUGH SPLIT DECISION. >> Josh: THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE FIGHT. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY THAT WAS GOING TO BE SHOWN. >> John: HE'S ALWAYS KEEPING DISTANCE, DOING THINGS YOU THINK, I'M WINNING LANDING A COUPLE MORE SHOTS AND THAT ENDS UP GETTING AROUND. I THINK IT'S A FRUSTRATING FIGHT FOR GEORGI NUC GEORGI BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE IN THIS FIGHT. >> Mike: GREAT TRANSITION RIGHT TO THE BACK. OVER THE SHOULDER AND OVER THE ARMPIT. >> Mike: 15 PROFESSIONAL WINDS. >> Josh: SEE HOW IT'S EQUAL BUT NOT LOWER THAN LOGAN'S? HE HIKED HIS BODY, MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. I LIKE WHAT GEORGI DID IZZY START TO SLED, HE SLID DOWN IN THE BODY LOCK AROUND THE HIPS, STARTING TO PULL AWAY FROM THE FENCE. I LIKE TO SEE THAT AS WELL. A LITTLE FAR SIDE HOOK IS SNEAKY. >> Mike: SANTINO DIFRANCO AND CREW GETTING THE FIGHT READY, DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. >> Josh: NICE JOB EXITING THROUGH, BUT NEEDS TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT I NEED TO BACK GEORGI UP. BRYCE LOGAN NEEDS TO KEEP HIS LEFT HAND HIDE OF THE HEAD BECAUSE GEORGI'S HEAD KICK IS ON POINT AND IT'S REALLY FAST. >> Mike: HE FINISHED SIX OF HIS SEVE BELLA BELLATOR VICTORIES BY KNOCKOUT. KICKS ENTERED BY A TAKEDOWN BY KARAKHANYAN IF HE CAN COMPLETE IT. >> Josh: KARAKHANYAN JUST GRABBED THE LEGS TOGETHER. >> John: LOOKS ON FOR THAT SWITCH BUT IT'S NOT THERE. NOW HE'S GETTING IT. >> Josh: GEORGI STILL GOT HIS ARMS LOCKED. PULLING UP FOR THE SWITCH ON THE SET OUT. THIS IS LIKE A CHESS MATCH RIGHT NOW. >> John: IT IS. >> Josh: WHO CAN KEEP IT TOGETHER? HARD ELBOWS. THERE YOU GO. [BELL RINGING] >> Mike: ROUND 1 IN THE BOOKS. >> John: A GOOD ROUND OVER ALL BUT I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LEAN ON KARAKHANYAN. THE KICK UP HIGH, MADE A COUPLE OF GOOD ELBOWS ALSO. FINISHING UP WITH A COUPLE. >> Mike: WE ARE LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, THE BEST LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION IN THE SPORT IS ON DISPLAY. COREY "OVERTIME" ANDERSON MAKES HIS BELLATOR DEBUT WITH THE MAN THEY CALL NO MERCY, FOR GOOD REASON. MELVIN MANHOEF THE VETERAN WHO HAS THIS HABIT OF KNOCKING PEOPLE OUT. VICIOUS. BRYCE LOGAN TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW MENTALLY HE HAS GROWN AND HE BELIEVES IN HIMSELF, HE BELIEVES THAT HE CAN BE IN A CAGE AND HAVE SUCCESS AGAINST A VETERAN LIKE GEORGI KARAKHANYAN. ROUND NUMBER 2. COMING OUT AGGRESSIVELY, THE FLYING KNEE FROM LOGAN IN THE BLUE GLOVES. >> Josh: LIKE JOHN WAS SAYING IN THE FIRST ROUND, IF HE CAN GET HIS BACK TO THE FENCE HE'LL HAVE A LOT MORE SUCCESS. FIGHTS BETTER WHEN HE'S THE BULLY. >> John: HIS PROGRESSION OF OFTEN SLOWS DOWN WHEN HE'S STEPPING BACKWARDS. WHEN HE CAN HAVE SOMEONE LIMIT THEIR OWN ABILITIES JUST BY THAT MOVEMENT AND FORCE THEM INTO IT. >> Mike: 17TH BELLATOR FIGHT FOR GEORGI KARAKHANYAN WITH 21 CAREER VICTORIES. >> Josh: THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OUTPUT FOR SOLID SHOTS. HE NEEDS TO SET WHILE ON HIS FEET AND REALLY CONNECT WITH IT. HE WANTS TO THROW HARD TO COME HE THROWS HARD AND FAST. >> Mike: RETURNS TO MILLENIA MMA BACK IN 2019. GOT TO FIGURE THAT'S ENOUGH PUNCH. >> John: LOOK AT THE DIRECTION WHERE BRYCE'S WANTING TO GO. THAT IS A GOOD THING FOR BRYCE LOGAN. >> Mike: BRYCE TALKED ABOUT HIS CONFIDENCE LEVEL AND SAYS HE KNOWS HE'S GOT THE ABILITY TO COMPETE AGAINST THE HIGH LEVERAGE INSTEAD OF WONDERING IF HE HAS THE ABILITY. HE'S GOT A TOUGH ONE HERE IN HIS RETURN TO BELLATOR. THERE IS THAT KICK YOU ALLUDED TO EARLIER. COMES OUT WITH IT. >> Josh: HE'S GOT TO SET IT UP. GO LOW AND GO TO THE HEAD, HE'LL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL, I BELIEVE. LOGAN IS FAST, HE'S GOT THE QUICK TRIGGER ON THE STRAIGHT JAB. NICELY DONE. EVEN WHEN HE SWITCHES HIS STANCE, JOHN COME HE THROWS UP THE STRAIGHT LEFT. >> John: HE'S FIGHTING A LOT FROM THE SOUTHPAW STANCE. >> Josh: THE PROBLEM IS WHEN HE SOUTHPAW, HE'S JUST GOT ONE. WITH GUYS WHO UNCOMFORTABLE SWITCHING STANCES, I'D HAVE AS A COUPLE IS SET COMBINATIONS, WITH LOGAN HE CAN TELL THAT HE SWITCHES, YOU CAN THROW THE TWO, GOING 3-4. GOOD ROUND 2. >> Mike: HE'S LANDING THE CLEANER, HARDER SHOTS FOR SURE. >> Mike: MOSTLY HE NEEDED GUYS HIS SIZE TO TRAIN WITH. WHEN HE WANTS TO THROW IT, NICE SHOTS BY LOGAN. COMING OFF A VERY IMPORTANT WIN. >> John: GEORGI TAKING BIG SHOTS BUT HE WALKED THROUGH MANY OF THEM. MAKING LITTLE JUDGMENTS. >> Mike: 91 DAYS AGO, WAS RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE ARENA. >> John: VERY SLICK LITTLE TRIP BY GEORGI KARAKHANYAN. OUT ON THIS POSITION, GETTING HIS HEAD OUT HIGHER. >> Josh: HE NEEDS TO START HOOKING HIS HEAD OUT OF THE BODY WITH 18 SECONDS LEFT. TO SAY FIGHT READY, YOU THINK HENRY PSEUDO-BUT YOU SEE THE TEAM GROWING, AND IN MILLENIA MMA, THE MAIN STAGE FOR MANY YEARS. >> GO RIGHT AFTER HIM. SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE LEG KICK. KEEP WORKING. A LITTLE MORE OUTPUT. >> THAT'S A HECK OF A COACH. MOMENTS AWAY AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR, OUR MAIN CARD LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, OUR MAIN EVENT, MELVIN MANHOEF AND COREY ANDERSON. THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND OF THIS LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT. BIG JOHN, HOW DO YOU HAVE IT? >> WHOEVER WINS THIS ROUND GETS TO WIN THIS. I THINK HE GAVE HIM THE RIGHT ADVICE. YOU NEED TO GET IN HIS FACE, GO AFTER HIM, MAKE HIM PAY. >> Josh: JOHN, HE'S HAVING SUCCESS EVERY TIME HE THROWS. HE'S WAITING ON LOGAN TO GO FIRST. THAT WAS A GOOD LEG KICK, BELT IT. SWITCH STANCES AS WELL. IT ONLY TAKES WALL ONE, I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT. I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT. HE STRIKING, CIRCLING OUT USING HIS LATERAL MOVEMENT. >> Mike: 43RD PROFESSIONAL FIGHT. BRYCE LOGAN 12 CAREER VICTORIES, WANTS TO EARN HIS FIRST INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. >> Josh: JOHN, WHAT WE SAW IN THE FIRST ROUND FROM BRYCE LOGAN, THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE ARE BELLATOR, A CHANCE TO GET THIS WIN THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. YOU SEE THE OUTPUT AND SUCCESS HE'S BEEN HAVING IN ROUND 2. AS THE FIGHT GOES ON LONGER, LESS EXPERIENCED FIGHTERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE BIG SHOW START TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT IN THE SECOND AND THIRD ROUND. HERE'S WHAT WE ARE SEEING WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. >> Josh: THE NERVES WERE PART OF THAT PERFORMANCE AND HE WAS GIVING TOO MUCH BASED ON THE GEORGI NOT BEING AN OFFENSIVE GUY. THIS ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUTES AND HE HAS TIME AND HE GETS IT. BUT LOGAN HAS BEEN MAKING HIM PAY FOR ALL OF THIS. HE'S BEEN LANDING A LOT OF ELBOWS AND IF HE DOESN'T GET THE TAKEDOWN, ALL OF THIS WORK IS GOING TO GO TO THE TOP OF BRYCE LOGAN. >> Mike: BRYCE HAD TO LITERALLY GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, IF YOU WILL. HAD TO GO HUMBLE HIMSELF, REBUILD HIMSELF, GET SOME WINS OUTSIDE OF BELLATOR, THEY GET A CHANCE TO COME BACK TO BELLATOR. THEY SAID EARLIER WE DIDN'T EVEN FEEL REAL THAT WE WERE HERE, AND MAYBE THAT WAS A LITTLE HANGOVER IN THE FIRST ROUND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS A VERY REAL CLOSE FIGHT. >> John: YOU GO HALFWAY THROUGH THIS FIRST ROUND, YOU CAN SAY BRYCE LOGAN IS A LITTLE BIT AHEAD, BUT THIS IS ANYONE'S FIGHT. THIS IS WHAT HE WAS ASKING TO DO, GO AFTER HIM. >> Mike: SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SAY, KNOW WHAT? >> Josh: HERE'S THE THING, WHEN YOU START TO FEEL TIRED SOMETIMES AND I USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME, I WOULD SMILE ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M FIGHTING. IF I'M OUT THERE PRETENDING I'M HAVING FUN, MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M NOT GETTING TIRED. LIKE I ONLY GOT ONLY A MINUTE 20. THIS GUY CAN DO ANYTHING FOR A MINUTE 20. WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS PULL THEM AWAY FROM THE FENCE BECAUSE HE'S HAVING SUCCESS BUT HE'S LEANING AGAINST IT. ABLE TO PULL HIM AWAY. THERE YOU GO. NOW GET HIM FULLY AWAY SO WE CAN'T USE THIS AS A WAY TO GET BACK UP. >> Mike: A LITTLE BIT OF FRUSTRATION. >> Josh: THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP YOU RIGHT NOW. DID A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING BACK DOWN. >> John: STILL HAS HIS HANDS CLASPED. KEEP THOSE FEET UP. HE'S GOT THE FEET UP IN THE AIR. HE'S GOT TO TURN THE POSITION TO HELP THEM KEEP LOGAN ON THE GROUND. >> Josh: SEE HOW HE'S KEEPING HIM ON THE BACK OF THE FENCE? WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS TURN HIS BODY SO THE BODY CAN GO FLAT. HE'S BACK THERE FOR YOU. >> Mike: THIS MAY VERY WELL HAVE EARNED HIM THE WIN. >> Josh: FIGHT IQ. [BELL RINGING] >> Mike: THEY GO THE DISTANCE. SAID HE HAD TO LET IT GO ALL IN THE THIRD AND HE DID, JOHN. >> John: HE BRINGS THOSE LEGS TOGETHER AND PULLS IT UP, THE RIGHT KNEE ABLE TO GET HIMSELF BACK TO POSTING AND GETTING UP. HAD THE CHANCE TO OPEN UP WITH THE SHOTS, WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE TAKEDOWN. >> Mike: TO THE POINT HE WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE CAGE AND WAS RILED, PERFORMED WELL. THAT WASN'T ENOUGH IN THE JUDGE'S MIND FROM THAT POINT? >> Josh: THE FIRST ONE WAS CLOSE SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> Mike: COMING OFF A TOUGH SPLIT DECISION THAT DID NOT GO HIS WAY. WE WILL SEE WHAT THE JUDGE IS DUE WITH THIS ONE. THE SCORECARDS ARE BEING GATHERED. JUDGES RENDERING THEIR DECISION FOR KARAKHANYAN, OR WILL IT BE LOGAN? LET'S FIND OUT. MICHAEL C. WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR YOUR DECISION, IT'LL GO TO YOUR JUDGE SCORECARDS. CROSBY SCORES THEY FIGHT 29-28. HE SEES THE FIGHT FOR LOGAN. YOUR SECOND JUDGE, HE SEES IT FOR KARAKHANYAN. YOUR FINAL JUDGE SCORES A 29-28 FOR THE WINNER BY SPLIT DECISION, GEORGI "INSANE" KARAKHANYAN! >> Mike: SPLIT DECISION VICTORY FOR GEORGI KARAKHANYAN. AND BRYCE LOGAN SHOOK HIS HEAD OUT OF RESPECT FOR A GEORGI'S VICTORY. A GOOD BATTLE AND A GOOD WIN FOR THE VETERAN. WE ARE MOMENTS AWAY FROM GOING LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. WE HAVE A QUARTET OF GREAT BATTLES TO BE CONTESTED. INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE COME AND SEE YOU AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. >> FISTS WILL FLY.
