INTRODUCING IN THE CORNER AT 6'7", WEIGHING IN 170 POUNDS EVEN, HIS RECORD STANDS AT 1-1, FIGHTING OUT OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, BY WAY OF CENTERVIEW MISSOURI, TREVOR "SCARECROW" GOODY! AND ACROSS THE CAGE OF HIS ADVERSARY FIGHTS OUT OF THE RED CORNER. 6'1", 6.8 POUNDS AS A PROFESSIONAL. TWO VICTORIES, JUST ONE DEFEAT. FIGHTING OUT OF CALIFORNIA, INTRODUCING GODFREY GRACIE! WHEN THE BELL RINGS, THE REFEREE IN CHARGE, MIKE BELTRAN. >> ARE REFEREE, HE SAW THE TALE OF THE TAPE, WEIGHING IN OFFICIALLY 168.8. HIS OPPONENT, TREVOR GOODY. FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE POUNDS. HERE WE GO, TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. IN THE RED GLOVES, GOODY IN THE BLUE GLOVES. 6-0 AMATEUR RECORD FOR TREVOR GOODY. BELLATOR DEBUT FOR GOODY, HIS THIRD PROFESSIONAL SITE. >> IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE IN THIS SITUATIONS, WITH GOODY, THAT'S A PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE THE DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT. >> Referee: NO TALKING, PLEASE. THANK YOU. STAND UP, WALK AROUND. >> YOU SEE THE KNEE SHOT BY GOODY, RESPONDS WITH A KNEE BUT DEFINITELY DOESN'T GET HIGH ENOUGH. COMING BACK PRETTY FAST. >> GOOD TO SEE THAT TREVOR IS FINE AS THE FIRST ROUND CONTINUES. GOOD MOVE FROM GRACIE. HE USES HIS FOOTWORK INSIDE, THAT'S HOW YOU SET UP YOUR HANDS. GOOD LEFT JAB, JUST NEEDS TO BELIEVE IN THE TRAINING, BELIEVE IN HIS ABILITY TO USE THAT JAB. HE DID POINT OUT, AND WE DID FIGURE OUT THAT THIS IS THE TALLEST OPPONENT HE HAS FOUGHT, ESPECIALLY AS A PROFESSIONAL. BUT HE'S GOING TO TRY TO USE THAT AGAINST TREVOR GOODY. HOW CAN HE USE THAT AGAINST TREVOR? >> I WOULD LIKE HIM TO TAKE IT AWAY. WHAT YOU DO IS PRESSURE TREVOR TO TAKE AWAY THAT DEFENSE AND TAKE AWAY THE HEIGHT AND REACH. GET INSIDE THAT BOOTH, I LIKE WHAT HE'S DOING. HE JUMPED IN, JUMPED OUT, LANDED SOME SHOTS BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL AS YOU BACK STRAIGHT OUT IF YOUR CHIN UP, CAN BE COUNTERED. >> PUNCHING IN AND STAYING IN FOR GRACIE, HE DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, EITHER. RECEIVED HIS BLACK BELT FROM HIS FATHER IN OCTOBER 2019. SAID AND I QUOTE, ALL GRACIES HAVE BEEN ON THE MAT SINCE DAY ONE. MIGHT ALTER THAT YOU MAY BE CRAWL. >> HE'S BEEN DOING THAT A VERY LONG TIME. RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT HE'S GOT THE UNDERHAND, BUT LOOK AT THAT HEAD PLACEMENT. HAVING A VERY HARD TIME, BASED UPON HIM PUTTING HIS CHIN OR HIS HEAD ON HIS CHIN. HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. >> NICE JOB VIA GRACIE, JUST PAST THE MIDWAY POINT OF ROUND 1. THE END ZONE IN HIS CORNER. TAKE A LOOK AT TREVOR GOODY'S HEAD, NOW HE IS THE ONE USING THAT AS A THIRD ARM. HE'S THE ONE TELLING YOU, I'VE GOT TO GET MYSELF DOWN AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL BASED UPON HIS HEIGHT. >> Referee: STOP, TURN! >> 1 FOR 1. >> Referee: BOTH OF YOU GUYS, PICK HIM UP, WILL YOU? FIGHT! >> AS I'VE ALWAYS SAID, BIG JOHN, HE'S ALMOST AS PUNCHY AS YOU ARE DURING YOUR REFEREE DAYS. "ALMOST" BEING THE KEYWORD. >> WONDER WHERE HE LEARNED IT FROM. >> EXACTLY. AND A GOOD MAN TOO. A SLIP ON THAT KICK. >> PUNCHING TO GET IT IN, THERE IS NO NEXT STEP. GIVE HIM THAT. NICE KICK LANDING AND BODY POSITION THERE BUT THERE WAS NO NEXT STEP. SPEAK IT EVERY TIME HE GETS TO THIS POSITION LIKE WE ARE SEEINT POSITION, DRIVES INTO GOODY. D.C. TREVOR GOODY CHANGING HIS POSITION ON THE CAGE. THIS GUY UNDERSTANDS HOW TO USE THAT LENGTH FOR LEVERAGE AND STRENGTH. 30 SECONDS. NOW LESS ON THE CLOCK. WE HEARD THE CLICK. TEN SECONDS, WE APOLOGIZE, OR GRAPHIC WAS OFF. ROUND 1 IS IN THE BOOKS. ONCE AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS. THEY ARE HANDLING ALL OF OUR COVID-19 TESTING AND SCREENING. FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO HartfordHealth Care.org. ALL OF US HERE AT BELLATOR MMA THANK YOU. A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERIENCE IN HIS CORNER. >> JUST A LITTLE. TALKING ABOUT GUYS WHO'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THEY WERE VERY YOUNG THEMSELVES. NOW SEEING THEM IN THE CORNER OF GRACIE IS NICE TO SEE. CHAD HOIST, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING. >> YOU CAN JUST FEEL THE PASSION THAT THEY HAVE. >> DIFFERENT SPECTRUM IN THEIR EMOTIONS WHEN YOU LOOK AT UNCLE AND FATHER. HE IS THAT SILENT FINISHER AND UNCLE, THAT BIG SMILE ALL THE TIME. THEY BOTH LIKE TO SEE HIM COME WITH THE SAME RESULT, AND THAT WOULD BE WHEN NUMBER THREE. ROUND 2, GRACIE, GOODY MAKING HIS BELLATOR DEBUT IN THE BLUE GLOVES. SWING AND A MISS. GOT TO GET PAST THE POINT OF TREVOR GOODY. NEED TO GO UP. WE CAN GO TO THE BODY, BIG ATTACK, JOSH. THAT HURT HIM. DID A NICE JOB TO COUNTER IT. >> DID A GOOD JOB OF STAYING OUTSIDE OF THAT POSITION, DOING A LOT OF DAMAGE WITH THE KNEES. >> ONE OF THE THINGS GOODY HAD SUCCESS WITH HIS HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GUIDE TO ESTABLISH THE UNDERHOOK. ALWAYS GOT THE LEFT ARM ON OVERHOOK. GOT TO FIND A WAY TO STOP GOODY'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE POSITION. >> LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW TO GET THE POSITION BACK. ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS TAKE THE LEFT ARM AND BRING HIM BACK TO HIS FARM. THEN ELEVATED AS HIGH AS HE CAN. TO THINK SOME OF MY FRIENDS WOULD SAY THEY ARE VERY TOP-NOTCH. THE HIGHER THE UNDERHOOK THE MORE YOU'RE WINNING. YOU ARE WINNING THAT POSITION, THE DOMINATING POSITION BY KEEPING THAT FINGER UP. >> HE IS SPORTING A MULLET THAT WOULD MAKE PILE -- AND HE'S GOT THE GIRLS, TOO >> MAKING IT A FIGHT IN ROUND 2. >> HE'S GOT THE UNDERHOOK NOW. HE CAN TURN AGAINST THE FENCE. >> LOST IT, 6 INCHES TALLER, YOU TALKED ABOUT IT. HOW DOES IT AFFECT HIM? >> FOR GRACIE, ADVANTAGE FOR HIM BECAUSE ALL HE HAS TO DO IS PUT HIS FOREHEAD UNDERNEATH GOODY'S CHIN SO HE CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN BELOW. BUT THE PROBLEM IS HE IS BACK TO DEFENSE. IN HIS TURN TO GOODY, WHERE HE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON AND BEEN ABLE TO HOLD HIM THERE WHEREAS GOODY IS HAVING TO LOWER THE LEVEL TO GET UNDERNEATH HIS CHIN. THAT'S A DISADVANTAGE. NOW YOU A TAKING AWAY YOUR HEIGHT ADVANTAGE. SO I GUESS BOTH PEOPLE HAVE ADVANTAGES IN THIS POSITION, BUT FOR GOODY, IT'S NOT HIM PUTTING THE POINT UNDER THE CHIN. >> UNDER TWO IN ROUND 2. THE ELBOW FROM GOODY. >> LAST FIGHT, AUGUST LAST YEAR, WE SHOWED YOU PRIOR TO THE START. THE CORNER OF GOODY'S THING DOES NOT LIKE THOSE NEEDS. >> THERE IT IS, NICELY DONE. ONCE HE WAS ABLE TO TURN UP AT THE BACK TO THE FENCE. >> STRAIGHT DOUBLE TAKE, NOW AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD BRING YOUR HEAD EITHER TO THE OTHER SIDE OR DRIVE HIM TOWARDS HIS LEFT SIDE SO HE ENDS UP ON THE CANVAS. >> WHAT HE SHOULD DO IS START PITCHING HIS KNEES AROUND THAT. START WALKING HIS LEGS TO THE FENCE, WHICH WILL TAKE HIS BACK OFF OF THE FENCE AND LAY HIM FLAT. WE WANT TO TRY TO DO IS KEEP YOUR OPPONENTS BACK FLAT ON THE CANVAS THE WHOLE TIME. THERE WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO TURN TO THEIR SIDE TO COMBAT ANY TYPE OF OFFENSE. >> GOOD SHOTS TO THE BODY FROM GRACIE. TREVOR GOODY TRYING TO DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS HE TALKED ABOUT. HE'S TRYING TO CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE FENCE TO HIS ADVANTAGE. >> IT'S GOOD BALANCE RIGHT NOW. >> THE TEMPO IS NOT ENOUGH. HE NEEDS TO CREATE SOME DAMAGE. MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE HE'S AT RISK. HE NEEDS TO SHOW THE JUDGES THAT HE'S AT RISK. >> I AGREE WITH YOU. >> THANK YOU, JOHN. >> ROUND 2 IN THE BOOKS! TONIGHT AT 9:30 EASTERN, THE PPR WORLD FINALS GET UNDERWAY FROM JERRY ROAD! IT'S THE BEST WRITERS IN THE BUSINESS ALL LOOKING TO COME HOME WITH THE HARDWARE, ONLY ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. THAT COMES YOUR WAY AFTER WE COMPLETE THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX. PITBULL FOR SYMBOL RIGHTS. >> SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> ANYONE WHO GETS IN THE BACK OF A BALL, I'VE DONE IT, THEY ARE NUTS AND I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. >> THEY LIFTED HIS MULLET TO PUT ICE UNDERNEATH IT ON HIS NECK. THAT'S GREAT. >> THE MULLET WILL KEEP THE ICE FROM SLIDING OFF. SCORECARDS, GUYS. YOU HAVE AT 1-1? >> NO, RIGHT NOW I HAVE TREVOR UP 2-0. >> THIRD AND FINAL ROUND! >> NICE LEFT HOOK. >> HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN HIS STRIKE. HE'S LANDING CLEAN AND SMOTHERING THE SHOTS. HE COULD HAVE THROWN A THREE. EASIER CHANCE TO TAKE DOWN. >> HE HAS THE ABILITY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT HE DID BEFORE. DROP DOWN, DRIVE THAT RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE ARM, GET HIMSELF THERE POSITION TO GET THE DOUBLE-LEG TAKEDOWN AGAIN. HE CANNOT STAY WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE CAGE. >> TREVOR GOODY DID SAY EARLIER IN THE WEEK THAT HE EXPECTED THE WIN BY ELBOW KNOCKOUT. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT HE HAS THROWN A COUPLE ELBOWS. >> HE LANDED THEM VERY CLEAN AS WELL. THOSE NEEDS, THAT POSITION, CONNOR SHOULD NOT BE IN. THAT WAS A NICE LITTLE UPPERCUT INSIDE. >> ONE OF TREVOR'S TRAINING PARTNERS, A WORLD CHAMPION. >> THAT LEFT HAND IS HURT MANY TIMES. >> WITH CONNOR, YOU CAN TELL THAT THE STAMINA IS MAKING HIM MORE TIRED BECAUSE HE'S GETTING ANXIOUS. I WOULDN'T SAY NERVOUS, WHEN YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE IN A POSITION, THE ADRENALINE DUMP HAPPENS. YOU LAND WHEN COME YOU GET TO THE CLINCH, NOTHING HAPPENS, YOU WILL ADD ANOTHER SHOT. THERE'S A LOT MORE PRESSURE INVOLVED. >> REALLY GOOD CLINCH WORK FROM TREVOR GOODY. >> HE'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL. I KNOW IT'S NOT EXCITING TO WATCH SOMEONE FIGHT THIS WAY BUT WHEN YOU CAN DELIVER THOSE NICE LITTLE KNEES TO THE INSIDE, EVERY NOW AND THEN BRING THE ELBOWS ACROSS, THIS IS A GOOD WAY FREE TO WIN THE FIGHT. HE'S GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET HIS BACK OFF THE CAGE. THE OTHER THING IS, GOODY IS PUTTING HIS HEAD DOWN ON HIS CHEST, START TRYING TO ATTACK THAT. PHYSICALLY, THE STRENGTH I WOULD GIVE TO HIM, YOU'VE JUST GOT TO BE CAREFUL HOW MUCH YOU UTILIZE IT. HE STARTED TO GET A LITTLE TIRED. >> THREE ELBOWS. MAKE IT FOUR. THROWING IN SUCCESSION BY GOODY. A LOT OF TIMES, WHEN YOU LOOKING AT THAT, IT'S ABOUT DESIRE. YOUR DESIRE TO NOT SETTLE FOR THE POSITION. RIGHT NOW, GOODY IS SHOWN, YOU KNOW WHAT, I HAVE THE DESIRE TO NOT SETTLE. IF YOU TURN ME, I'M GOING TO WORK UNTIL I TURN YOU BACK. >> 1:45 REMAINS IN THIS FIGHT. IT IS ALL OVER! TREVOR GOODY FINISHES GRACIE! NASTY KNEE! >> WOW! WHEN YOU'RE AS TALL AS GOODY, LOOK AT THAT. HE STARTED TO DROP LEVELS. THAT KNEE TOUCHED THAT CHAIN. IN TROUBLE FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD. YOU COULD SEE THAT TRAUMATIC SHOCK BALANCE THROUGH. FOLLOW SET UP, WATCH SPEED HERE, WATCH REAL FAST. OH, BIG SHOT BY GOODY. NEVER ABLE TO TRULY DEFEND HIMSELF AT THAT POINT. NEVER ABLE TO GET HIMSELF BACK. BIG WIN BY TREVOR GOODY. THAT IS WHERE A 6'7", 6'1" MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. BRINGING THAT KNEE UP A LITTLE BIT. >> ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT 6'1" DROPS ITSELF A LITTLE BIT. >> THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT YOU SAW HIM BACK UP AND TRY TO TAKE A SHOT TO GET TO THE BODY LOCK THEN HE WAS ABLE TO TIME HIM AT THE RIGHT TIME KNOWING THAT IT WAS GOING TO COME TO TAKE DOWN THROUGH THE KNEE, RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, NICELY DONE. >> Brian: WHAT A BELLATOR DEBUT FOR THE SCARECROW! FINISHING GRACIE IN ROUND 3. MICHAEL C WILLIAMS TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN COME INSIDE, 3 MINUTES, 28 SECONDS COME AROUND NUMBER THREE, THE WINNER BY TKO, TREVOR SCARECROW GOODY! >> 1-0 INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE WITH A THIRD ROUND FINISH, HIS FIRST CAREER WIN BY KNOCKOUT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET IT UP TO THE FIGHT DESK. LETS HE LEFT THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT. >> THANKS, HELLO TO YOU TOO. WE'VE GOT AN INCREDIBLE LINEUP TONIGHT. OUR FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX RETURNS TONIGHT. SO MUCH HEADING INTO THIS TOURNAMENT AND NOW IT'S BACK. >> WE'VE GOT TWO GRAND PRIX MATCHES, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LAND, UNDEFEATED FIGHTERS AND DID I MENTION AARON PICO WILL BE HERE? I'VE GOT TO SAY, WE ARE LOADED TONIGHT. >> WE ARE LOADED TONIGHT. IT WAS EIGHT MONTHS TO THE DAY WE PAUSED THE TOURNAMENT SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE HEADING INTO TONIGHT. OF COURSE A.J. McKEE, ALREADY ADVANCING, TONIGHT, WE HAVE THE TWO FIGHTS AND, THE QUARTERFINAL TONIGHT, OF COURSE THE REMATCH, AND THEN THE CHAMP, PATRIZIO PITBULL IS TAKING ON HIM. NOT ONLY DOES THE WINNER ADVANCE AND IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX BUT THEY WILL ALSO BE CLOSER TO WINNING THAT MILLION DOLLARS AND BY THE WAY, THEY ALSO WILL BE GOING HOME WITH A BELT TONIGHT. LET'S TALK THE NUMBERS HERE BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT PATRIZIO, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING. LET'S FLASH BACK TO THE SELECTION SHOW. HE CAN CHOOSE WHO HE WANTS TO FIGHT TONIGHT. >> BY THE WAY, IN CASE ANY NEW FANS THINK HE CHOSE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, THAT IS NOT THE WAY PEOPLE'S MIND WORKS. EITHER WAY, HE ASKED FOR THIS FIGHT. YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S GOING TO CREATE SOME BAD BLOOD. NO SURPRISE THAT TENSION HAS BOILED OVER. >> TALKING ABOUT BAD BLOOD. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TRASH TALK BETWEEN THE GEMS AND THEIR COUNTRIES. I THINK THERE'S SOME EXTRA EMOTIONS GOING INTO TONIGHT AND THAT PROBABLY -- IS THAT A PROBLEM GOING INTO SUCH A BIG FIGHT TONIGHT? >> I MUST TELL YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM. THIS IS NOTHING THAT PEOPLE HAS EVER DONE BEFORE AND I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THE WHEELS GOT OFF THE BUS BUT IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MOTION AND ADDED PRESSURE I THINK IT'S REAL BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING UNIQUE. >> INTERESTING. WE WILL SEE IF THAT PLAYS A FACTOR IN THE CAGE TONIGHT. MAIN EVENT COMING UP LATER TONIGHT. ON THE CBS SPORTS NETWORK. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE CONTINUE ONCE AGAIN, IT'S A FIGHT AT 170 POUNDS. PAT IS BACK, WHAT A BATTLE IN SEPTEMBER. HE FOUGHT ON THREE DAYS NOTICE, WENT THE DISTANCE WITH DANIEL MADRID. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE, 27-YEAR-OLD ROMAN PER ALDO AGAINST PAT, THE NINJA GRACIE. IT LIKES TO STAY ON THE INSIDE, WE WILL SEE IF CASEY CAN GET INSIDE AND TAKE HIM DOWN. >> MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> Announcer: JOIN US AT CBSSports.com, WE WELCOME YOU TO MOHEGAN SUN ARENA AS THE PRELIMS MOVE ON WITH THE WELTERWEIGHT ONCE AGAIN. THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. IN THE BLUE CORNER, WEIGHING IN AT 170.8 POUNDS. HIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD, SIX WINS, THREE LOSSES, FIGHTING OUT OF SPRINGFIELD, PRESENTING PAT "THE GORILLA NINJA" CASEY! ACROSS THE CAGE COME OUT OF THE RED CORNER AT 6'1", AS A PROFESSIONAL, HE IS UNDEFEATED 3-0 BY WAY OF KEY WEST. HE FIGHTS OUT OF FLORIDA, ROME AND ALDO! IN CHARGE, YOUR REFEREE. >> ARE REFEREE. SITE NUMBER TWO AMONGST OUR PRELIMS. FARALDO, PERFECT 3-0, HIS LAST FIGHTS HAVE BEEN AT 185. WE ARE UNDERWAY. TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. FARALDO IN THE RED, CASEY IN THE BLUE GLOVES. CASEY WITH KING MO IN HIS CORNER. EARLIER WE WERE REHEARSING, WHAT THE ROUTINE WOULD BE PRETTY FIGHT, THIS BEING HIS BELLATOR DEBUT. >> FOOTWORK IS GOOD, HE GOES AFTER ONE, TWO, THREE PUNCH COMBINATIONS. FARALDO FROM, AS MANY OF US NOW, THE SOUTHERNMOST POINT OF THE UNITED STATES, KEY WEST. WORKING UP THE STREET. >> WE'VE SEEN PAT CASEY MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE KNOW THAT HE IS SUPER STRONG, VERY AGGRESSIVE IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF ROUNDS AND A LOT OF STRENGTH. IF YOU GET THIS TAKEDOWN HE CAN DO DAMAGE ON THE GROUND. THAT WAS A NICE JOB TO STAY UP. >> CASEY'S TEAMMATE, LOST TO KYLE A FEW WEEKS BACK. SET TO FIGHT ON THE MAIN TARGET, BATTLE OF TWO MEN THAT ARE A COMBINED 35-0. I CORRECT MYSELF. PARDON ME, IT WAS A VICTORY OVER KYLE. CASEY, TOOK THE FIGHT IN SEPTEMBER ON THREE DAYS NOTICE. CLOSE TO A CAMP FOR THIS ONE IN BACK TO 170. NICE KICK, YOU WILL SEE HIM SWITCHING THAT STANDS BACK. ALL THESE FIGHTS, IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER WHO IT WAS. >> VERY TRUE. >> AND I REMEMBER A CRUTCH. >> CASEY BEING THE SMALLER FIGHTER COME IN THE MIDDLE, HE'S ALREADY THROWN IT A COUPLE TIMES. >> HE KNOWS THAT CASEY WANTS TO TAKE HIM DOWN. >> THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE FLASHY, THOUGH. BUT WHAT YOU WILL NOTICE FROM CASEY IS HE WILL DIP HIS HEAD STRAIGHT DOWN AND THROW PUNCHES AS HE COMES IN. COMING STRAIGHT IN. THE KICK RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE WAS GOING TO LAND. FARALDO NEEDS TO KEEP THE LEFT JAB, STIFFEN OUT. CASEY COMING DOWN, ALL THOSE BIG BRUSHES INSIDE. >> THAT DOES TURN THE SHOULDER AND DEFEND. TRYING TO COUNTER, THE DISADVANTAGE IN THE REACH EVEN AGAINST OPPONENTS AT 170. >> YOU CAN SEE THAT COUNTER, THE LEFT-HAND. >> A NICE LITTLE BODY SHOT, TO THE OUTSIDE. >> GOOD WORK IN THE CLINCH. >> GOOD KNEE, THE OVERHAND RIGHT AS WELL. VERY EXPLOSIVE WITH THE STAND UP GAME, THE 27-YEAR-OLD FARALDO. >> REALLY GOOD FOOTWORK, LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. THE DISTANCE. LIKING TO SLIDE HIS FEET IN AND OUT, KEEPING HIS EYES ON THE PRIZE, WHICH IS CASEY'S CHIN. AS THE PIECES SETTLE DOWN, THOSE WILL START TO LAND AS THE NIGHT GOES ON. >> CASEY SAID I'VE BEEN FIGHTING SINCE BACK IN SEPTEMBER. COULD PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL AGAINST GOOD COMPETITION. EVEN UNDER LESS THAN IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES. >> NOT HAD THAT FIGHT AGAINST DANIEL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT ROMAN FARALDO AND DANIEL MADRID, THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR. SIMILAR IN SIZE AND STYLE AND WHAT THEY DO. >> FINAL SECONDS OF ROUND 1. CATCH UP ON THE FIGHTS, 24/7 ON OUR PLUTO TV CHANNEL AVAILABLE NOW ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICES. LOOK FOR US IN THE SPORTS CATEGORY. >> RIGHT NOW, SECOND ROUND. >> THE FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX FEATURED LATER TONIGHT LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. TITLE ON THE LINE, PIT BULL AND THEN IT IS SANCHEZ TOO. THE FIRST FIGHT, A SPLIT DECISION WIN JUST OVER FOUR YEARS AGO FOR DANIEL. NEXT WEEK, IT IS DARIAN CALDWELL AND A.J. McKEE AND A SEMIFINAL MATCH. ROUND 2. CASEY IN THE BLUE. CASEY GOT CLIPPED, IF YOU WILL, ABOUT TWO SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. ALMOST SEEMED LIKE HE WAS DONE IN THE FIRST, MENTALLY, AND FARALDO SAID NO, NOT YET, I HAVEN'T HEARD THE BELL. >> SOMETIMES WHAT WILL HAPPEN, THEY RELAX WHEN THEY HEAR THAT CLACK A CLACK OF THE 10-SECOND BELL. VERY ILL-ADVISED AND I'VE SEEN FIGHTERS WITH TEN SECONDS LEFT TURN THEIR BACK AND WALK AWAY FROM THEIR OPPONENT. ONE ACTUALLY RAN UP, I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. IT'S ILL-ADVISED. YOU'VE GOT ALWAYS BE PREPARED AND READY TO FIGHT NO MATTER WHAT, EVEN WHEN THE BELL GOES. STILL KEEP YOUR DEFENSE UP. >> THE FIRST 5 MINUTES. VERY INSISTED, THE ORTHODOX, WANTS TO SEE THAT JAB, POSITIONALLY GOTTEN CASEY OFF BALANCE WHERE HE CAN BE ATTACKED. >> JUST PHENOMENAL. ONE THING, HE WAS FAMOUS FOR DOING THAT. AS HE WOULD LAND HE WOULD TAKE LITTLE STEPS TO THE OUTSIDE, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS SEEN. >> THE RIGHT EYE OF GRACIE. THERE WERE SOME NICE SHOTS OFF OF FARALDO PEER TO THINK THAT IS WHERE THEIR HEADS CAME TOGETHER. HE KEEPS TOUCHING THAT SAME SPOT ABOUT TWO SECONDS AGO. BIG SHOT BY CASEY. >> YOU CAN SEE HIM, LOOK AT HIS LEGS, THERE IT IS, THIS COULD DO IT! >> IT IS ALL OVER! JUST LIKE THAT! THE EXPLOSIVENESS OF ROMAN FARALDO! HE SENSED THAT HE WAS RUNNING LOW ON FUEL AND HE FINISHES THE FIGHT BRILLIANTLY. SYSTEMATICALLY BROKEN DOWN AND EARNS HIMSELF A HIGHLIGHT REEL FINISH. >> YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, TAKE A LOOK, THE SHOT RIGHT THERE, THE LEFT, RIGHT. LOOK AT HIS LEGS, LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DOING, TRYING TO CONTROL HIS BODY BECAUSE HE IS HURT. THEN HE SAYS I SEE THAT YOU'RE HURT, LET ME FINISH THIS OFF. HE KNOWS CASEY LIKES TO DROP HIS HEAD DOWN. ENOUGH TO REALLY HURT AND ALREADY HURT FIGHTER. SPEAK ABOUT THE KEY TO THAT WAS HE LANDED IT RIGHT BEHIND THE KNEE AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE, BOOM, RIGHT BEHIND THE EAR, SORRY. >> GOT IT. >> JUST BEAUTIFUL POSITIONING. LISTEN TO IT AT HIGH SPEED. BEAUTIFUL JOB, GREAT TIMING OF A TAKEDOWN. HE SAID IT TWICE NOW. >> DON'T GO TO ME, JOHN. LEAVE ME ALONE. >> 4-0, ALL FOUR PROFESSIONAL WINDS BY KNOCKOUT. TWO IN THE FIRST, TWO IN THE SECOND. LET'S GET INTO THE VOICE. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INSIDE, IT COMES TO AN END AT 2 MINUTES, ROUND NUMBER TWO, THE WINNER BY KNOCKOUT STILL, UNDEFEATED ROMAN FARALDO! >> OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE INSIDE HIS DEBUT, A KNOCKOUT FINISH COMES AT EXACTLY IN THE MIDWAY POINT ON THIS FIGHT. BACK UP. >> THANKS, HERE IS A LOOK AT OUR FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX. WE WILL CLOSE OUT THE QUARTERFINALS WITH TWO FIGHTERS ADVANCING TO THE SEMIS. COMING UP ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, WE'VE GOT A REMATCH, IMMANUEL SANCHEZ THERE, WE WILL SEE WHO IS GOING TO BE MOVING ON TO FACE THE CHAMP ROUND TONIGHT. THE LAST TIME THEY FACED EACH OTHER IT WAS BACK IN 2016. A VERY CLOSE FIGHT. IMMANUEL SANCHEZ LOST OF A SPLIT DECISION LOST. HE'S COMING FOR REDEMPTION. HE CALLED OUT AND SAID I WANT TO FIGHT YOU, HOW DOES HE GET IT DONE TONIGHT? SPEAK AT THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT? IF I WAS TO TELL YOU THAT SANCHEZ WAS COMING DOWN STRONG I WOULD BE CORRECT. THIS ONE IS SCHEDULED FOR FIVE ROUNDS. I APOLOGIZE -- WHY SANCHEZ SAYS IT IS NOT GETTING OUT OF THE FIRST, LET'S SAY IT DOES. THAT FAVORS HIM. HE WAS LOOKING A LITTLE BETTER TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIRST CONTEST. >> IT'S A LOT OF EXTRA TIME TO GET IT DONE ALTHOUGH HE IS A ONE-AND-DONE BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT DANIEL, BECAUSE HE HAS FELT THAT PRESSURE ALREADY THAT HE IS KNOWN FOR SO HOW DOES HE COMBAT THAT TONIGHT BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY? >> HE KEPT HIM AT BAY. HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF KEEPING HIM AT THE END OF HIS PUNCHES. THAT IS AN EXPRESSION FIGHT GUYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT, BUT HE UNDERSTOOD RANGE VERY WELL. IN ALL FAIRNESS, I WAS ON THE OUTSIDE, HE KEPT ME GUESSING. I WAS SEEING THINGS I HADN'T SEEN BEFORE. IF HE IS IMPROVING IN THE GYM, IF HE HAS IMPROVED, WE DON'T FULLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. >> HE'S CONFIDENT HAVING ONE MIKE THE FIRST ONE. HE CAUGHT UP WITH HER OWN JOSH THOMPSON YESTERDAY. >> THIS IS A REMATCH. HE SAYS YOU'RE THE SAME FIGHTER, WOULD YOU SAY TO THAT? >> HE CAN SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS. I FEEL THAT I'M AWAY DIFFERENT FIGHTER, AND EVEN I AM A DIFFERENT FIGHTER THAN SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN THEY CANCELED THE FIRST FIGHT. I SEE INVOLVED EVERY DAY AND FROM FIGHT TO FIGHT. I WILL SHOWCASE THIS THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE THAT I'M A DIFFERENT FIGHTER. >> THAT TOUGH, MEXICAN STYLE OF FIGHTING, THE PRESSURE. HOW DO YOU COMBAT SOMEONE LIKE THAT? >> I WORKED A LOT TO GET AROUND MOVEMENT AND GET MY STYLE GOING TO MATTER WHAT MY OPPONENTS ARE DOING. I GOT A LOT OF GREAT GUYS COMING IN, PUTTING PRESSURE ON ME AND WE FIND A WAY AROUND AND WE PICK THE HOLES AND TAKE THEM DOWN. >> ASSUMING YOU WIN THIS FIGHT, YOU'LL BE FIGHTING FOR THE TITLE NEXT. DO YOU CARE WHO YOU FIGHT? >> TAKE A ONE FIGHT AT A TIME AND ON FOCUSING ON SANCHEZ. PEDRO IS NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED, AND I KNOW HOW GOOD OF A MIX PIT BULL IS, SO I HAVE NO PREFERENCE TO WHOEVER IS NEXT. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE PITBULL A THIRD TIME, DEFINITELY. >> GIVE ME A PREDICTION FOR YOUR FIGHT. >> I WILL HURT HIM, I WILL HURT HIM IN EACH AND EVERY ROUND. AND I'M LOOKING FOR FINISH NO MATTER WHERE, STANDING ON THE GROUND. >> GOOD LUCK. >> SHOULD BE A SPECTACULAR MATCH APPEARED FIRST FIGHT LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. A BATTLE OF UNBEATENS. STERLING AND THEN OUR FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT, THE FINAL MATCHUP OF THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX. SPEAKING OF FEATHERWEIGHT'S, LUCAS, ANDREW SALAS. SKYWALKER, 3-0. ALL OF HIS WINS IN BELLATOR. >> IF WE SEE LUCAS BRENNAN WE ARE LOOKING FOR SUBMISSIONS BECAUSE HE IS OUTSTANDING ON THE GROUND. HE HAS BEEN ROLLING SINCE HE WAS A CHILD WITH HIS DAD. LOOK AT THIS, EVERY TIME HE GOES IN THERE HE IS LOOKING TO FINISH HIS OPPONENT. THAT MAKES HIM A DANGEROUS FIGHTER ONCE THE FIGHT HITS THE GROUND, JOSH. >> SECOND BELLATOR FIGHT, HE LAST FOUGHT ON THE CAMPUS OF PENN STATE UNIVERSITY. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE, WITH HIS FEATHERWEIGHT MATCH UP, HE DID MISS WEIGHT AT 148 POUNDS. THE 20-YEAR-OLD WILL HAVE A 3-INCH REACH ADVANTAGE. HERE'S MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> FROM MOHEGAN SUN ARENA, WE WELCOME ALL THOSE JOINING US FROM BELLATOR'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL AS BELLATOR 252 PRELIMS CONTINUE NOW WITH FEATHERWEIGHT'S SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS.

TONIGHT FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. THE SOUTHPAW, LUCAS BRENNAN IN THE RED. ANDREW SALAS BACK IN THE BELLATOR CAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THAT SPLIT DECISION, AT 145. >> NICE JOB, GET THE PASSING GUARD, PUTS THE KNEE ACROSS THE THIGH, HE'S GOT THE BODY STYLE THAT ALLOWS HIM A DIFFERENT POSITION. >> TRYING TO EXPLODE OUT OF IT. BREAKING APART, NOT WANTING TO LOSE THE TOP POSITION, SO LET GO OF IT. WHAT MAKES LUCAS BRENNAN DANGEROUS ON THE GROUND, FROM ONE FINISHER TO THE NEXT, YOU BELIEVE HE'S GOING ONE THING, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. HE DEFEATED A 21-YEAR-OLD, A 30-YEAR-OLD, FIGHTING A 33-YEAR-OLD IN ANDREW SALAS. >> I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE, YOUNG GUYS AND OLD GUYS. JUST A BEAUTIFUL GROUNDWORK HERE. LOOK AT THE PRESSURE AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE FROM ONE POSITION TO THE NEXT IN THE LAND BEAUTIFUL SHOTS, ELBOWS. >> WE SAW THAT, THE LAST SITE. THERE WILL BE SOME BIG DAMAGE TO THE ELBOWS, THE STRIKE ZONE. 21 WINS, 19 BY SUBMISSION. >> JUST CRAZY TO THINK HOW OLD HE IS. >> HIS YOUNGER BROTHER TYLER, CHAMPION, U.S. WRESTLING NATIONAL CHAMPION AND BROWN BELT IN JIU-JITSU. >> WANTS TO LOCK UP AN INVERTED TRIANGLE, WHICH HE IS DOING. >> GOING TO PULL THE ARM ACROSS THE BODY. ATTACK OVER THE SHOULDER. >> CONTROLLING THE LEG, IN A BAD POSITION IN THE THIRD QUARTER, PROJECTING THAT ARM. THE LOOK THAT HE IS GOING. SO TALENTED AT JUST 20 YEARS OLD. TRYING TO USE HIS ARM, NOW THERE'S A RELEASE. >> WHO WENT BACK TO THE TOP, DOMINANT POSITION, I'M SURE YOU CAN TEACH IT SO THAT YOU CANNOT TEACH HIM, THEY'VE GOT TO BE WILLING TO DO IT. >> NOW BACK TO SIDE CONTROL, JUST BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE SUPERIOR GROUND GAME CAN DO TO YOU. >> I LIKE THE WAY YOU SAID THAT. >> HE IS PASSING THE GUARD. ANYTIME HE WANTS. SWITCH OF POSITION, SHOULDER PRESSURE NOW, SHRUGS INTO STRIKES. VERY IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW. >> THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING FIGHT HE COULD POSSIBLY FIGHT. TRAINING FOR FIGHTING SOMEBODY WHO JUST MOVED SO MUCH WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE EXPLOSIVE MOVES TO GET OUT FROM THE BOTTOM AND THERE ALREADY THERE, IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. >> GET OUT OF ONE DANGEROUS POSITION AND YOU FIND YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY IN ANOTHER. OUTSTANDING FIRST 5 MINUTES FOR LUCAS BRENNAN. TOMORROW NIGHT, 7:00 EASTERN ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, IT IS AN IN-STATE CONFERENCE MATCH UP AS FAU BATTLES FIU IN MIAMI. CATCH IT ALL ON THE 24-HOUR HOME OF CBS SPORTS. >> HERE COMES LUCAS BRENNAN WITH THE TRANSITION TO THE TAKEOUT, WHAT YOU SEE AS FAR AS HIM GETTING THE SIDE CONTROL RIGHT AWAY. WORKING HARD TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE STARTS MOVING OUT OF POSITION. KNEE FROM THE GROD, AND HERE WITH AN INVERTED TRIANGLE, ALL OF THIS WAS JUST AN OUTSTANDING DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT THIS MAN CAN DO ON THE GROUND. AT HIS AGE, I HATE IT. [LAUGHTER] >> SO WITH THAT DOMINANT PERFORMANCE, MULTIPLE TIMES, HOW DO YOU SCORE AROUND ONE? >> 1-8. >> YOU CAN DEFINITELY GET TAKEN DOWN TO EASILY. >> IN JOSH, IT WAS A COUPLE OF INSIDE LEG KICKS THAT LUCAS UTILIZED AROUND NUMBER ONE. >> FIGHTING LUCAS. IT'S DOMINIC >> A LOT OF PRESSURE, BUT HE'S DOING THE SAME THING, THE COACH IS SAYING THE SAME THING. ELEVATE AND LIFT, TURN BEING DOMINIC SO HE CAN AVOID BEING SUCKED INTO THAT GUARD. >> RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON HIM. IT CAN TURN THAT WAY QUICKLY. >> GOT TO BE CAREFUL, THE FULL GUARD. >> HE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS CORNER. >> I CAN TELL YOU GUYS THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO FIGHT HIS FATHER. NEVER HAPPENED, NEVER CAME TO FRUITION BUT IT WAS ONE OF THOSE, HIS FATHER IS REALLY GOING ON THE GROUND. THE WAY LUCAS LISTENED TO HIS FATHER IS PHENOMENAL. NOW LUCAS ATTACKING ON HIS OWN, TURNING OFF OF THE DEFENSIVE. >> EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. >> GAVE UP THE MOUNT, DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THE POSITION. NEXT LEVEL STOP FROM A 20-YEAR-OLD! >> SO NICE SEEING A GUY WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MOVE BEFORE IT'S HAPPENING, THIS IS LIKE PLAYING WITH IT. HE TAKES HIMSELF AND PUTS HIMSELF IN A POSITION WHERE HE CAN BE SAFE, CONTROLLED THE POSITION. AS YOU SAY, IT'S NEXT LEVEL, IT'S OUTSTANDING. >> HE CAN DO THAT AS WELL. MAKE SURE THAT HE CAN'T EXPLODE OFF THE LONG FENCE TO GET OUT. HE'S DOING THE JOB THOUGH, DROPPING THAT ELBOW AND THE WRIST, WRIST CONTROL ON THE ZONE, POSTURE UP TO ATTACK. >> 102 ON THE CLOCK IN AROUND NUMBER TWO. YOU JUST HEARD HIS DAD SAY MOVE OFF THE FENCE. >> STABLE GRIP AND ACTUALLY PICKS HIM UP AND SWINGS HIM AROUND. >> MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE FACT THAT HE IS LISTENING TO HIS FATHER. >> EVERY DAUGHTER AND SON SHOULD ACTUALLY DO SO. MANY AS I CAN ATTEST TO DON'T ALWAYS DO EXACTLY THAT. >> GOOD POSITION. NICE, HEAVY SHOTS. GOING TO BE VERY HEAVY. >> SAME POSITION, BACK-AND-FORTH, ELBOWS AND BIG STRIKEOUTS. >> HE UNDERSTANDS, HE'S TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. TWO STEPS AHEAD OF HIM. >> IN THE LEFT, FINISHED VERY LATE WITHIN ROUND 2 AND IN THIS ONE. A LOT OF THE FRUSTRATION. WE ARE MOVING IN THE GUY IS ALREADY THERE. AND AS YOU GET MORE FRUSTRATED, YOU GET MORE TIRED. YOU FINALLY CONCEDE, OKAY, I'M JUST GOING TO STAY HERE AND HE LAYS DOWN BIG ELBOWS AND BIG DAMAGE. >> MVP EMPOWERS COMBAT VETERANS AND FORMER PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES BY CONNECTING THEM AFTER THE UNIFORM COMES OFF, PROVIDING THEM WITH A NEW WAY TO ASSIST TRANSITION, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SHOW THEM THEY ARE NEVER ALONE. TO ALL OUR COMBAT VETS, MVP HAS YOUR BACK. DONATE OR JOIN. AND A PERFECT TIME TO TALK ABOUT MVP OF THE WEEK, WHERE WE HONOR OUR GREAT VETERANS. >> GOING TO THROW BOMBS RIGHT NOW, HE HAS TO. >> I LOVE THAT. WE'VE GOT TO CALL A LOT OF COMPLAINTS, HE IS A CLASS ACT. THIRD AND FINAL ROUND. LUCAS BRENNAN, THE SOUTHPAW IN THE RED GLOVES. ANDREW SALAS IN THE BLUE GLOVES. THAT'S WHAT HE TALKED ABOUT, GOING TO COME OUT SWINGING. >> WHAT I LIKE TO DO IN THE CORNER OF LUCAS AND HIS FATHER, LUCAS WAS ACTUALLY TALKING BACK TO HIS DAD, NOTICED THIS, NOTICE THAT. >> LOOK AT WHERE HIS EYES ARE AT. HE IS INTO THIS, INTO EVERY LITTLE MOMENT OF IT THIS IS VERY GOOD FOR A YOUNG FIGHTER. THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME IN THE THIRD ROUND. VERY GOOD FOR HIM RIGHT NOW. LEADING THIS TIME IN THE CAGE. >> HE'S GOT HIS FINGERS LOCKED, HE'S GOING TO STEP TO THAT RIGHT SIDE IN HIS HANDS ARE LOCKED. >> GET HIS HIPS INTO HIM AND MOVE AWAY AS WELL, SO HE CAN GET DEEPER ON THE SINGLE. THERE HE GOES RIGHT THERE, HE CAN EITHER SIT ON HIS BUTT OR REENTER IN A DOUBLE. >> 20 YEARS OLD, AN AMATEUR, 3-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. THREE PROFESSIONAL WINDS HERE IN BELLATOR. HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL WIN AND IT'S IN THE WORLD STAR CASINO AND RESORT. THE SAME VENUE WHERE HIS FATHER HAD HIS LAST TWO PROFESSIONAL SITES. YOU SAW IT RIGHT THERE, LUCAS TRIED TO BRING HIM BACK SIDE WITH THE PRESSURE. UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY WHERE HE'S GOING TO GO. >> HE'S TRYING TO COOL HIM OFF SO HE CAN RE-ENTER ON THE LEG FOR A DOUBLE LIFT. >> I LIKE THIS TOO. GOT TO THE BAG, NOW HE IS IN A TOUGH, DOMINANT POSITION. >> A LOT OF TIME TO WORK. MOVING AWAY FROM THAT FENCE SO HE CAN'T START WALKING, WALK ALL THE WAY UP. SO HIS DISMOUNT AGAIN, USING HIS FIGHT IQ. I DON'T NEED TO BEGIN THIS POSITION, DOMINATE THIS POSITION. >> ALL THE WAY UP, ALL THE WAY TO YOUR FEET. >> LUCAS DID SAY DREAM FIGHT AND ANDREW SALAS WAS A SELF-PROCLAIMED WRESTLER, GRAPPLER AND HOPING HE COULD PROVE HE IS A WRESTLER AGAINST LUCAS BRENNAN, WHO HAS REALLY NEUTRALIZED ANY OFFENSE OTHER THAN THE ONE ATTEMPT, WHICH AS YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT, REALLY WASN'T TOO DANGEROUS FOR SKYWALKER OF ANDREW SALAS. >> NICE ELBOW THERE, JOHN. >> HE'S DOING A LOT OF THINGS, HE'S GOT HIS FOREARM PRESSURE AGAINST THE NECK ALL THE TIME. HE'S JUST UNCOMFORTABLE. HIS HEAD OFF TO THE SIDE, THEN AS HE IS MOVING HE CAN'T MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO STAY WITH IT. BEAUTIFUL JOB. >> HE HAD THE KNEE CROSSED IN THE POSITION, JUST KEEPS THAT TOP LEG PRESSED OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE TO THE OPPONENT IS ACTUALLY FACING AWAY FROM HIM. >> PULLED HIM AWAY FROM THE FENCE. A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS GOING ON HERE. GETTING A LITTLE PRESSURE RELEASE, WHICH IS GOING TO MAKE ANDREW START MOVING. WAITING FOR THAT MOVEMENT. >> SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE IN POSITION YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE. YOU LET THEM MOVE BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU GET TO A DOMINANT POSITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. >> REPRESENTING RIGHT THERE, CAN HE GET IT AT THE END OF THIS FIGHT? GOOD FIGHTS COMING OUT OF HIS CORNER AS WELL. LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO GO THE DISTANCE. GOOD PERFORMANCE BY LUCAS BRENNAN TO THE VERY END. GOING THE FULL 15, IT'S NOT A BAD THING WHEN YOU'RE 24 YEARS OLD. >> IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO THE FULL 15 IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO BEYOND THE SIDE BRENNAN WAS ON BECAUSE IF YOU WENT THE FULL 15 BEING ANDREW SALAS, YOU PROVE HOW TOUGH YOU ARE AND HE TOOK A LOT OF SHOTS, TOOK A LOT OF JUST PUNISHMENT HERE. LOOK AT THE SHOTS, PUSHING OFF, THE FULL GUARD, CAN'T DO IT. WITH THE KNEE INSIDE, CLOSING UP, A LOT OF PRESSURE. THIS IS THE END OF THE FIGHT, BIG SHOTS. YOU SEE ANDREW SALAS STEP UP. A NICE LITTLE STEP UP. JUST GIVE ME ONE. >> IF I COULD MAKE ONE CRITIQUE ABOUT LUCAS, THIS WILL COME WITH JUST MORE TIME. JUST NEEDS TO SIT ON HIS GRIND A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WELL AS ON THE FEET BUT HE COULD'VE POTENTIALLY GOTTEN HIM OUT THERE EARLIER IN THE FIGHT HAD HE FOCUSED MORE ON JUST LAYING IN THE HEAVY, HEAVY SHOTS. BUT HONESTLY, AT 20 YEARS OLD, I'M REALLY SPLIT WITH YOU, MAN. >> WE ARE GOING TO CRITIQUE THAT PERFORMANCE! SECOND BELLATOR FIGHT AND 84 DAYS FOR LUCAS BRENNAN, WHO IS SUCH A MOVE TO 4-0 ALL INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. >> 11TH PROFESSIONAL FIGHT FOR ANDREW SALAS. HIS GAME, WITH BRENNAN. SKILLS ARE AHEAD OF HIS YEARS AT THIS POINT. HERE IS MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR THE DECISION, YOUR FIRST, DAVID REALLY SCORES AT 30-27 WHILE JUDGES BELL AND PEABODY SAY IT'S 30-26. ALL HAVE IT, THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION AND STILL UNDEFEATED, LUCAS SKYWALKER BRENNAN! >> 30-27, 30-26, 30-26. 4-0 FOR LUCAS BRENNAN! >> THE LONGEST WIN STREAK IN BELLATOR CONTINUES! >> PUTS HIS 16-0 RECORD ON THE LINE AGAINST GARY AND CALDWELL.

I KNOW YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. >> HOW OFTEN CAN WE GUARANTEE OUR AUDIENCE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING NEW. ONE OF THESE BOYS IS GOING TO GET BEAT TONIGHT, ONE OF THEM IS STUCK. THE PLANET, SPRAWL AND BRAWL. HE WANTS TO KEEP HIM ON HIS FEET. I CAN GET HIM DOWN TWICE, TWO TAKEDOWNS, STEAL THIS FIGHT, I THINK HE IS RIGHT. DOING IT AS A WHOLE ANOTHER STORY. >> HE'S 21-0, THE BEST ACTIVE RECORD. 19 WINS BY SUBMISSION OR KNOCKOUT, 13 AND THE FIRST ROUND, WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEAR THAT? >> HE IS NOT A GUY THAT JUST COMES ON IN THE FIRST ROUND AND HAS TO FINISH. IF THIS FIGHT GOES ALL NIGHT LONG, HE WILL BE THERE. HE'S TRAINING WITH MY TEAMMATE, SO I GIVE A LOT OF UPDATES, HE'S JUST AS DEDICATED TO HIS TRAINING AS HE IS IN THE CAGE BEHIND US. >> HE'S GOING TO BE THE TOUGHEST TEST FOR HIM IN HIS CAREER. HE TALKED ABOUT WHEN HE FOCUSED ON THE CAMP, HE SAID HE THOUGHT HE WAS TIRED SO HE THINKS HIS PACE AND PRESSURE IS GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE-MAKER IN THIS FIGHT, DO YOU AGREE? >> FOUR CHANCES TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. SOMEHOW THEY GIVE YOU A FIFTH CHANCE BUT HE WON ALL FIVE. THE POINT I'M MAKING IS I DO NOT SEE HIM AS A GUY WHO BACKS DOWN. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE CAN BE BROKEN DUE TO CARDIO. I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM IN HIS FIGHT. >> I SOLD THEM SHORT, 34-0 COMBINED, THEY ARE 35 -- >> NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE. IMPOSSIBLE MATH, WE WILL NEVER KNOW. >> HE'S ONLY MADE IT SIX TIMES TO THE THIRD ROUND IN HIS CAREER, SO, THE EXTRA CARDIO THAT HE THINKS IS GOING TO PAY OFF, THAT WILL BE INTERESTING TO THINK IF THAT PAYS OFF OR NOT. >> WINS THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS, GOES TO THE THIRD. >> I LOVE IT. LET'S GET BACK. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE BATTLE. TWO TREMENDOUS FIGHTERS, AND BY THE WAY, THEY ARE FROM RIVAL CAMPS. AMERICAN TOP TEAM. SET NOW FOR A PHANTOM WEIGHT CONFRONTATION. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE. JUST THOUGHT THREE MONTHS AGO, DARNELL LUGO. A PERFECT 4-0. LUGO, ONE OF THOSE WINS INSIDE BELLATOR. HIS OPPONENT, SKYLER SUE TOTH, SET TO MAKE HIS BELLATOR DEBUT. HE IS THE YOUNGER OF THE TWO FIGHTERS. MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> THE PRELIMS GO TO THE PHANTOM WEIGHT DIVISION FEATURING TWO UNDEFEATED FIGHTERS, SET FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. INTRODUCING THE BLUE CORNER, 5'10", 135.4 POUNDS, UNDEFEATED PROFESSIONAL RECORD STANDS AT 4-0, HE FIGHTS OUT OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, SKYLER! AND HIS ADVERSARY FIGHTING OUT OF THE RED CORNER, WEIGHING 135 POUNDS EVEN, AS A PROFESSIONAL HE IS UNDEFEATED AS WELL AT 4-0. HE FIGHTS OUT OF PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, BY WAY OF CONNECTICUT, DARNELL LUGO! THE REFEREE IN CHARGE ONCE AGAIN, BRIAN MINER. >> BRIAN MINER KEEPING BUSY IN OUR PRELIMINARY MATCHUPS. TWO MEN WITH PERFECT 4-0 RECORDS. SITE SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. >> READY? YOU READY? >> HERE WE GO! TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. IN THE RED GLOVES, SUE TOE IN THE BLUE GLOVES. HE FOUGHT JUST OVER THREE MONTHS AGO, WAS IN ANOTHER ORGANIZATION. HE WON IN HIS BELLATOR DEBUT LAST YEAR RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA, A UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN. SIX AMATEUR MMA FIGHTS, ALSO EIGHT. >> ONE OF THE MEN IN HIS CORNER TONIGHT, ALSO FROM WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT. >> HERE IS MIKE KIMBALL, WHO IS ON THE LEFT. NICE CATCH AND A KICK THERE. OUTSTANDING YOUNG FIGHTERS. 4-0 RECORDS. THE DIFFERENCE IS SKYLER WANTS TO KEEP THIS COME HE'S GOING TO WANT TO TAKE IT TO ROUTE. THAT IS WHERE HIS ADVANTAGE LIES. >> BOUNCED STRAIGHT UP ON THAT ONE. WAS UNABLE TO TAKE DOWN, THE FIRST ONE IS ALWAYS THE HARDEST BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THOSE DEAL BREAKERS. YOUR MENTALITY CHANGES. IF YOU CAN STOP THE TAKE DOWN YOUR OPPONENT STARTS TO THINK OH, NO. THAT GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE AS WELL. THE TAKEDOWNS, SOON WILL BE ABLE TO POP BACK UP. >> THREE PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS, VICTORIOUS IN ALL THREE OF THOSE. >> KEEP IT TOGETHER. >> MIKE KIMBALL, VERY VOCAL IN THE CORNER. >> REDIRECT IT! >> VERY VOCAL YOUNG MAN. >> I BELIEVE HE IS TIED FOR THE FASTEST LOCKOUT IN BELLATOR HISTORY. 76 SECONDS. >> THOSE OF THE ONES YOU LEAVE THE CAGE GOING WHY DID I EVEN TRAINED FOR THIS? >> LOOK AT ALL THIS WORK RIGHT HERE, JUST STAYING ON SKYLER SUE TOE LIKE HE IS VELCRO. THIS IS NOT ONLY FRUSTRATING, IT'S ALSO EXHAUSTING. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK, HE'S POPPED RIGHT UP SO THE JUDGES ARE GOING TO SAY ALL RIGHT, THERE WAS A POSITIONAL CHANGE. >> IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAT HE GOES BACK TO THE FENCE AND RIGHT NOW HE IS ON THE DEFENSE. >> BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT HE IS THE ONE USING THE MOST ENERGY HERE TO TAKE HIS TEAM DOWN, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE IS DEFENDING HE'S GOT THE CAGE TO LEAN ON. HE'S JUST TRYING TO PULL THE MIDDLEWEIGHT, THEY EXPEND A LOT OF ENERGY. >> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. >> HE DOES HIT THE GROUND AND THEN WORKING HARD TO GET UP. >> HE USUALLY FIGHTS AT 145, HE SAYS I EXPECT TO BE THE BIGGER AND STRONGER FIGHTER IN THE CAGE. I WANT TO PRESSURE HIM AND EVENTUALLY FORCED HIM INTO A MISTAKE. >> HE IS TALL AND BIG FOR 130 POUNDS. >> WHEN YOU SEE THE CONFIDENCE, I KNOW YOUR ARMS ARE TIRED, I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO STAND SO LET ME PRESSURE YOU AND SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE A MISTAKE. >> NICE JOB. ONE OF MY FAVORITE TAKEDOWNS, DOUBLE LEG TO THE OUTSIDE DRILL. >> ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT, THE FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX WILL CONTINUE, IT WILL BE SEMIFINAL NUMBER ONE. DARIAN CALDWELL FACES OFF 16-0 A.J. McKEE. WE WILL MOVE ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP, ONE STEP CLOSER TO A $1 MILLION PAYDAY. FIND OUT NEXT THURSDAY, 7:00 IN THE EAST, 4:00 IN THE WEST RIGHT HERE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. WE WILL KNOW WHAT HER OTHER SEMIFINAL MATCH UP WILL BE BY THE END OF TONIGHT. TWO QUARTERFINALS FOR YOU LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. REMATCH BETWEEN SANCHEZ, A TITLE FIGHT BETWEEN PITBULL. 7:00 IN THE EAST, 4:00 IN THE WEST. ROUND 2. 4-0 AGAINST 4-0. BLUE GLOVES, MAKING HIS BELLATOR DEBUT. >> HE'S LOOKING TO TRAP YOU WITH THE BIG SHOT, HERE WE GO! >> GOOD SHOT, GOOD SHOT! >> EASY, EASY ANSWER THAT! YEP, YEP, YEP. >> SKYLER AT AGE 24, WHICH IS HOW OLD HE IS RIGHT NOW. DECIDED TO QUIT HIS FULL-TIME OFFICE JOB. NOW 31 YEARS OLD, STILL PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY. NICE DUCK UNDER. HE DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF MAKING YOU BELIEVE HE IS WITHIN DISTANCE, THEN TRYING TO LAND THOSE SHOTS, JUST KEEPS TWISTING. HAS SUCCESS AT THE END OF THE FIRST ROUND WITH THE OUTSIDE TRIP. HE WILL HAVE MORE SUCCESS, GO AWAY FROM THE BENCH, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEFEND AS WELL. >> DRAG THEM OUT, PUT IT ON HIS HEAD. >> GOT TO BE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY HE JUST BOUNCED RIGHT BACK UP. HE'S NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR THAT POSITION. >> FIGHTERS WILL SOMETIMES DEFEND THE TAKE, IN A REALLY CRAPPY POSITION. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FLOW WITH IT. >> THERE WAS A DOCUMENTARY CALLED THAT. BUT THESE GUYS ARE IN AN OUTSTANDING DIVISION. >> THE THING IS, THIS IS WHERE HE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO GO. THIS IS SOMETHING, SURE, MAYBE HE IS PREPARED, HE CAN'T GROW THEM AHEAD OF RUSSELL BUT IT'S EXHAUSTING WHEN YOU ARE NOT REALLY SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO WRESTLE IN POSITION. >> BOTH FIGHTERS. THE LITTLE THINGS YOU SEE IN HERE, HE GETS HIS HEAD JUST A LITTLE BIT LOW, TRYING TO LAND SHOTS THAT HEARD HIM. BRINGS IT BACK UP. BOTH GUYS FIGHTING SMART. TRYING TO CUT OFF THE CAGE. HE TALKS OFTEN ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE CALLS HIMSELF A DEFENSIVE FIGHTER. >> THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THROUGH THE PUNCH OUT, PUNCH OUT THE OTHER, NICELY DONE. >> HE SAID, I SPENT A LOT OF TIME BREAKING IT DOWN, WORKING IN THE TRAINING CAMPS AND I SEE WHAT WORKS EFFECTIVELY AGAINST MY OPPONENT. I CAN DO IT AT HOME AND I CAN DO IT WITH COMPOSURE. >> SKYLER MAKING HIS BELLATOR DEBUT AT 34 YEARS OLD. >> IF YOU GUYS ARE AT HOME AND YOU CAN HEAR THE CHORUS CHATTERING, BACK AND FORTH. LET HIM GET TIRED. HE'S JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE. IF HE CAN'T GET THE TAKE DOWN, HE'S GOING TO GET TIRED. THAT IS A BIG PART OF WORKING BACK AND FORTH. >> SHOT FIGHTERS WERE AT BellatorShot.com. GET 10% OFF WITH PROMO CODE "CHAMPION." OUR FEATHERWEIGHT AND LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION, WHO HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME MEN, WILL FIGHT LATER TONIGHT ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. >> THERE IS THAT A SWITCH, BEAUTIFUL LEFT HAND. DOES A REALLY NICE JOB WHEN YOU SEE HIM. A LITTLE BIT OF POP TO IT, WASN'T ABLE TO BRING THAT HAND ACROSS, SWITCH IT OVER BUT STILL LANDED, BUT OVERALL, ALREADY ONCE BEEN HAPPENING. I HAVE HIM UP 2-0 IN THIS, EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEEN FIGHTING AND FIGHTING WELL, ANOTHER FIGHT IN THIS ROUND. >> DID THAT TAKEDOWN AND HIM THAT FIRST ROUND? IN MY OPINION, HE'S GOT BOTH. THAT JUST PUT A STAPLE ON IT IN THE FIRST ROUND. ROUND 3! I KNOW ONE THING, HE IS DEFINITELY TRYING TO CONTINUE THE PRESSURE FROM THIS STAND-UP POSITION THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT. YOU HEAR HIS CORNER LIKING WHAT HE JUST THREW. >> THE ONE THING HE'S BEEN ABLE TO LAND SUCCESSFULLY HAS BEEN NO CAKES TO THAT LEAD LEG. SOMETIMES HE SWITCHES IT FROM THAT RIGHT LEG, BUT WITH HIS HAND HE HAS NOT BEEN NEARLY SUCCESSFUL. >> WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HE PUTS THE PRESSURE BUT HE'S AFRAID TO GET TAKEN DOWN. >> THERE IT IS. >> REALLY ENJOYING THE BANTER. THEY ARE TALKING TO THE FIGHTERS AS WELL. BOTH CORNERS ARE TALKING TO SAY NO, NO, THAT DIDN'T LAND. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET INTO THE JUDGE'S HEADS. >> THE RIGHT HAND, KEEPS ON LANDING. TAKE A LOOK AT THAT LEFT LEG. IT LOOKS LIKE A CANOPY. >> 3 MINUTES, ROUND 3. EVEN THOUGH JOHN SAID IT WAS TWO ZEROS, A LITTLE CONCERNED SOMETIMES BECAUSE HE STILL HAS TO TAKE DOWN MORE TIME. NOTHING IS REALLY BEING DONE. IT COULD GO EITHER WAY. >> YOU'RE RIGHT, IT COULD GO EITHER WAY. WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING RIGHT NOW, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN HIM LANDING THE CLEANER, CRISPER SHOTS. SPEAK OF THE SHOULDER ROLES, HE KEEPS HIS CHIN TALK TO HIS SR WHEN HE DOES IT. A LOT OF FIGHTERS DON'T DO THAT. THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH, IT'S NOT ENOUGH. YOU HAVE TO MAKE COMES AT THE OTHER SIDE, BECAUSE UNLIKE INBOX AND COME ALL HAVE TO DO IS THROW THE HOOK BEHIND YOU AND MOVE TH. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN COME. >> TO YOUR POINT, WE SAW A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT EARLIER. ONE MINUTE ON THE CLOCK, FINAL ROUND. >> SETTING UP THE THIRD ROUND, THAT WHOLE TIME, WHY WEREN'T YOU STANDING? HE IS COMING FORWARD, TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THAT. FIGHTS PROFESSIONAL, HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF COURAGE. THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE IN THE HANDS, THEY GO THE DISTANCE! >> LOOK AT THAT NICE LEFT-HAND, RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW LINE. THAT'S WHAT KNOCKS HIS MOUTHPIECE OUT. AT THIS POINT, HE'S A LITTLE TIRED. MOUTH OPEN, TRYING TO GET SOME AIR. CLEAN RIGHT SHOT. THIS WAS NICE BUT IT LANDED UNDER THE BODY ON THE ARM, KIND OF. LOOK AT THAT LEFT HAND, RIGHT ON THE JAW LINE. EVERY TIME THEY HAVE THESE EXCHANGES HE SAW HIM COMING OUT THE BETTER MAN. >> I CONCUR. >> I LOVE THOSE BOXERS. >> I'M LIKING THE GEAR THAT HE IS SPORTING NOW. HE'S LOOKING ALL CLEAN AND HE IS READY. I DON'T KNOW. WE WILL SEE IN THE SEMIFINALS IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX, ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT. >> JUDGES HAVE RENDERED THEIR DECISIONS HERE. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HAVING GONE THE DISTANCE, YOUR FIRST FIGHTER SCORES AT 29-28. JUDGES CROSBY AND MICHAEL BELL BOTH SEE THE SAME, 30-27. ALL HAVE IT FOR THE WINTER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, DARNELL LUGO! >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY. >> 2-0 IN HIS BELLATOR CAREER, 5-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL NATIVE OF THE BRONX, THE VICTORY, JORNEL LUGO! SPEAK OF THIS IS WE ARE, A.J. McKEE AND DARIAN CALDWELL HAVE ADVANCED TO THE FINAL ROUND. THE OTHER WILL BE SET AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, THE WINNER OF IT ALL WILL EARN HIMSELF A $1 MILLION PAYDAY. THE FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX COME ALIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK. UP NEXT, A BATTLE AT 155. MANNY MURO IS LOOKING TO REMAIN UNBEATEN AS A BELLATOR FIGHTER, AS IS DEVON POWELL, THE BLACK BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU. >> DEVON POWELL, LOOK AT THIS, LOCKS IT IN, A LOT OF PRESSURE, JUST AN OUTSTANDING, WE KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO. THAT MAN CAN DO THE SAME AND THEN YOU'VE GOT MANNY MURRELL GOING AGAINST, PUTTING IT ON IN THE END. GETS THE DECISION VICTORY, A BIG WIN. >> OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT, 11 PROFESSIONAL WINS FOR MANNY DAVY DEVON. >> THREE AND A HALF INCHES BUT THAT IS A SUBMISSION. WE WILL SEE IF THE USES THAT. >> HERE IS A FUN ONE, MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> ALL MMA'S PRELIMS HERE AT 252, AND THE LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION SET FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS, AT 6'1" WEIGHING IN AT 155.2 POUNDS, THIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD, TEN WINS, FOUR LOSSES FROM MAINE, PRESENTING DEVON! AND ACROSS THE CAGE, HIS ADVERSARY, AT 5'10", WEIGHING IN AT 155 AND ONE HALF POUNDS, 11 VICTORIES, SIX LOSSES, FIGHTING OUT OF OKLAHOMA, MANY OF THE ALVARO! AND THE REFEREE ONCE AGAIN, MIKE MINOR. >> ONCE AGAIN, OUR REFEREE. MANNY AND DEVON POWELL. FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK IS PRESENTED BY GEICO. THE DRAGON IS IN THE RED GLOVES, DEVON POWELL IN THE BLUE GLOVES. HIS FINISHED BACK AT BELLATOR, 232, RIGHT HERE, OUT COLD AT THE END OF THAT SECOND ROUND. NICE SWITCH UP WITH MANNY MURO GOING TO THE BODY, THAT LEFT HOOK. >> MANNY FOUGHT THROUGH SOME EARLY SUBMISSION ATTEMPTS. ENDED UP WINNING BY SPLIT DECISION. SAID HE LEARNED THAT NIGHT HE BELONGS WITH THE BEST. >> HE WANTS TO BE EXACTLY WHERE HE IS AT RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE FIGHT HE WANTS TO BE IN. KEEPING HIM BACK NEAR THE FENCE, CONTROLLING POSITION, A GUY WHO GETS HIS FIGHT TO THE GROUND, I'M TELLING YOU, OUTSTANDING. AN EXCELLENT BLACK BELT BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU. >> J MANSFIELD, HIS BLACK BELT COACH. HE MENTIONED, WITH THE PANDEMIC, SAID HE WAS NOT ABLE TO TRAIN FROM THIS ONE, BUT SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRAINING WITH JOE OVER THE YEARS. VERY SMART, YOU KNOW THIS. KNOCKING DOWN AND I'M JUST GOING TO GET BACK UP. A LOT OF MOVEMENT EARLY FROM MANNY MURO. >> IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THE MOVEMENT, THE CHANGE OF DIRECTION HELPS A LOT IN KEEPING YOUR OPPONENT HAVE A STATIONARY TARGET. >> MANNY FIGHTING OUT OF JACKSON, SET TO ENTER THE BELLATOR CAGE. IT STILL HERE AMONGST THE PRELIMINARY FIGHTS. >> LANDED THAT MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY IN THIS ROUND. BRING IN THE FIGHT, NICE SHOTS DOWN LOW, THE BODY COMING UP TALL. >> I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY, I LIKE HOW HE'S MIXING IT UP FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIGHT, GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD, THE LEG KICKS, NICELY DONE BY MANNY. >> MANNY IS LOOKING AS SHARP AS I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM. >> LOOKING VERY LIGHT ON HIS FEET TONIGHT. TONIGHT. >> LOOKING GREAT, YOU SEE THOSE COMBINATIONS, EVERYTHING WORKING FOR HIM, DEVIN IS WORKING HARD TOO BUT MANNY IS LEADING THE FIGHT AS FAR AS FEEDING THE DANCE. HE IS MAKING IT WERE HE WANTS TO GO. SPEAK OF THE DANCE WHEN YOU ARE FEELING YOURSELF. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, HE'S FEELING GOOD. YOU CAN SEE THE POP IN HIS STEP AND IN HIS PUNCHES AS WELL, MIXING IT UP VERY WELL. >> I'M A BETTER FIGHTER BECAUSE THE BIG OPPORTUNITY FORCES ME TO LEVEL UP AND THAT MEANS EVERY DAY IN TRAINING. SO FAR, YOU CAN SEE A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE FROM THE DRAGON. >> CIRCLING HIS BACK OFF OF THE FENCE, SAW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING, MOVING HIM TOWARDS THAT, NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN. CIRCLES AROUND. >> WILL OPEN THE FIGHTER LOOKS AT THE REFEREE AND SAYS, AM I OKAY? >> [LAUGHS] >> PROBABLY ASKING HIM IF HE HAD A CUT. >> NORMALLY WE, 75% OF THE TIME, IT'S DURING A DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUE, TRYING TO SEPARATE THE DISTANCE. >> THE FIGHT CONTINUES. RED GLOVES FOR MANNY MURO AND POWELL IN THE BLUE GLOVES. >> IT HARD TO LAND WHEN SOMEONE IS THAT MUCH TALLER THAN YOU. >> LOOKING BUT HE STAYED WITH IT. TO THE RIGHT AND STAYED WITH IT. >> HE DIDN'T SAY ALL RIGHT, DIDN'T WORK, HE SAID I WILL KEEP PUTTING PRESSURE ON CUMBERLAND A RIGHT HAND, SWING AND A MISS FOLLOWED BY A KICK. PERSISTENT IN THE FIRST FIVE INNINGS. >> SOME BIG DEEP BREATHS. TWO MORE JUST LIKE THAT. >> THEN HE'S GOING TO TRY TO COUNTER YOU, GO FIRST AND GO AGAIN. ON THAT NOTE, THAT'S GOOD. GO FIRST, HE'S GOING TO TRY TO COUNTER YOU. JUST MAKE SURE YOU MOVE AND GO AGAIN. TWO IN A ROW. AS SOON AS YOU FEEL REACT. >> TRULY ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. JACKSON, GIBSON, AN OUTSTANDING STRIKING COACH AND MANNY, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, PROUDLY REPRESENTING HIS TRIBE IN OKLAHOMA WITH A GREAT FIRST 5 MINUTES. BRANDON TRAINED EXTENSIVELY WITH MANNY. WORKS A LOT WITH THE PADS. >> THEY HAVE REALLY BUILT AN INCREDIBLE BOND. >> I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF MANNY'S FIGHTS AND I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM LOOK BETTER IN THE FIGHTS. DEVIN POWELL IS THE REAL DEAL. HE CAN FIGHT EVERYWHERE. MANNY MURO IS ABSOLUTELY DICTATING THE PACE AND HOW THIS FIGHT HAS BEEN SO FAR. >> FATHER OF THREE GIRLS, ONE JUST THREE MONTHS OLD. HE POINTED OUT HE'S BEEN TRAINING MOST OF THE TIME, HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS NEWBORN DAUGHTER WHO WAS NAMED AFTER HIS SISTER, WHO IS CURRENTLY IN REMISSION AFTER BATTLING BRAIN CANCER, SO OUR CONSTANT PRAYERS TO MANNY'S SISTER, SHILOH RAIN. >> HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO PULL ONE OF HIS TRICKS OUT AND GO WITH THE SPINNING BACK ELBOW AND HE GOT TAGGED FOR IT, SO KIND OF JUST STICK WITH WHAT HE'S GOT RIGHT NOW. HE'S BEEN DOING SO GOOD. GOOD PRESSURE AGAINST THE CAGE. DECIDES WHEN HE WANTS TO SEPARATE AND GO BACK TO WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING. >> I AGREE WITH YOU. FIGHTERS ARE FEELING COMFORTABLE, THEY START DOING THINGS THAT ARE VERY ILL-ADVISED AND THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS. >> CHANGING LEVELS, THE JAB TO THE BODY CONNECTING. NICE COMBINATION. NICE TURN BY DEVIN POWELL THERE. HE'S LANDED THUS FAR. >> NICE KNEE INSIDE. REALLY DECIDED TO DRAG THIS FIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND. DECIDING, I WILL BE ON MY BACK. HE GETS THE IDEA, I'M NOT WINNING THIS STAND UP BATTLE SO I NEED TO CHANGE THIS FIGHT. PROBABLY NOT A BAD IDEA. >> ALL THAT WORK IN THE FIRST ROUND, STARTS TO GET TIRED. DIPPING HIS HEAD A LITTLE BIT MORE, MAKES IT EASIER. THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATION WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES, GUYS ARE WORKING THEIR WAY TO THE FENCE TO GET THEMSELVES BACK TO THE FEET. DEVIN WANTS TO BE ON THE GROUND, SO MANNY WANTS TO KEEP HIS HEAD PUSHED INTO THE CAGE. >> CAREFUL OF THAT TRIANGLE, THOUGH! >> STRIKES TO THE BOTTOM BY POWELL. >> ANY TIME YOU HAVE A GOOD GRAPPLING GAME AS WELL AS LONG LEGS, IS GOT TO BE CAREFUL OF THAT TRIANGLE GAME. GETTING THAT LEG UP AROUND THE HEAD. YOU HEAR HIM TELL HIM, GET YOUR ARM OUT OF THERE, GET YOUR ARM OUT OF THERE. PLAYING WITH FIRE, BACK OUT. >> YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE, THEY CAN GO BACK AND FORTH, GET ONE STEP BEHIND AND IF YOU DO WITH SOMEONE LIKE DEVIN POWELL, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S OFF. >> WE'VE GOT TO REMEMBER, TALK ABOUT SWEAT SOMETIMES MAKES IT HARDER FOR GUYS TO GET SUBMITTED. ALSO MAKES IT EASIER TO SLIP INTO A SUBMISSION AS WELL. >> ABLE TO GET INTO HALF GUARD. BACK TO THE FULL ROUND, ROUND NUMBER TWO. PUSHING HIS HEAD INTO THE CAGE, WHICH WE USED TO SEE A LOT EARLY IN MMA. DRIVING HIS HEAD INTO THE CAGE, NOW GUYS DON'T DO IT BECAUSE GUYS ARE GOING TO USE IT TO GET UP AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET UP. HE WANTS TO BE DONE. >> ONE OF THE DEFENSIVE POSITIONS HERE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MURO POSTURES UP AND PUTS HIS FORWARD DOMINIC FOR HEAD ABOVE, THE TRIANGLES, HE ACTUALLY PULLS HIS KNEE OUT AND SHOOTS THE TRIANGLE RATHER THAN BRING IT UP OVER THE HEAD. >> 7:00 IN THE EAST, 4:00 IN THE WEST. QUARTERFINAL ACTION AND A BATTLE BETWEEN TWO MEN WITH COMBINED RECORDS OF 35-0. >> LET'S GET AFTER THEM IN THE THIRD, GET AFTER THEM AND DO IT, DON'T WASTE A LOT OF TIME. THIRD ROUNDS. SHOW IT TO ME. >> IN THE CORNER, KIND OF. THAT'S AWESOME. HOW ARE YOU DOING? >> IT MUST BE INSPIRATION. >> IT IS, INDEED. WE TOLD YOU THEY WERE TIGHT! THAT'S AWESOME! WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. 5 MINUTES REMAIN! BOTH MEN UNBEATEN INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. >> NICE UPPERCUT BY MURO THERE. THE LEFT HAND UP TOP, BEAUTIFUL RIGHT THERE. >> MORE OF THAT, THAT'S WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE THE WHOLE TIME, THE REST OF THIS FIGHT NEEDS TO BE IN THAT POSITION. >> HARD WORK WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOMEONE. DO COMBINATIONS LIKE THAT AND FINISH IT OFF WITH THE KICK. CAKES BEHIND THE HANDS, THAT IS WHAT HE WAS DOING. >> GOT TO BE CAREFUL DIPPING HIS HEAD STRAIGHT DOWN. RIGHT OF THE MIDDLE WITH THAT KNEE. >> SAW AN EXAMPLE OF THAT EARLIER. ESPECIALLY AGAINST A TALLER OPPONENT. >> CAREFUL OF THAT KNEE-BAR, LEG LOCK POSITION. >> NICE WRIST CONTROL. EVERYTHING HE'S DOING YOU HAVE TO BE IMPRESSED WITH. HARD TO ROLL ANOTHER DIRECTION. TAKING AWAY THE OFFENSE OF WHERE YOU CANNOT CHECK. WHERE THE PRESSURE IS PUT ON YOU IT IS HARD TO MOUNT A GOOD OFFENSE. >> YOU AND I A COUPLE OF FIGHTS BACK HAD A LITTLE FUN COMPARING JACKSON AND JOHN CAVANAUGH BUT THE THING YOU CAN HEAR IS CALMNESS AND PERFECT INSTRUCTIONS, CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT. >> THERE IS NO DOUBT, UNDERSTANDING YOU IS A FIGHTER, DO YOU NEED INSTRUCTIONS? DO YOU NEED CHEERLEADING? MOST OF THE TIME, GUYS AREN'T GOING TO NEED CHEERLEADING AND THE GOOD INSTRUCTION AND CALM VOICE, YOU CAN HEAR IT IT'S JUST LIKE HAVING ANOTHER SET OF EYES. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, THERE YOU GO. >> THEY ARE A HALF STEP AHEAD IN THEIR INSTRUCTION. >> WHEN UNDERSTATING HOW CALM AND COMPOSED HE IS, IF YOUR COACH THAT'S ALWAYS YELLING AT YOUR FIGHTER, WHEN SOMETHING IS URGENT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, THEN YOU CAN'T YELL ANY LOUDER, THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF IT. I'M ALWAYS YELLING AT 11 I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT AND I NEED TO GET OUT OF THAT POSITION SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOUR COACHES TO BE CALM AND COMPOSED AND WHEN THEY YELL AT YOU, THIS IS NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE AND FOCUS ON THAT. >> TRYING TO CHANGE THE ANGLE. MANNY HAS GOT GREAT PRESSURE, GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO. JACKSON SAID WATCH THE KNEES, THAT WAS THAT HALF A MOVE AHEAD. MOVING TO EARLY. >> TRYING WITH THE GRIP BUT IT'S HARD TO GO ANYWHERE BASED UPON WHERE HE IS AT. HERE JACKSON TALKING ABOUT PRESSURE, A LOT OF THE PRESSURE HE'S TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, IN THE FOREHEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREHEAD AREA. >> NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S HARD TO MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR TOES IN THE FENCE, ATTACK FAST, AND BY THE WAY, THAT'S ILLEGAL. YOU SEE POWELL TRYING TO GET HIS LEGS UP OVER THE HEAD AND HE'S NOT ABLE TO BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO WITH THAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. >> THEY GO THE DISTANCE! GREAT JOB DONE BY MANNY MURO. DEVIN POWELL, MURO OF THE FULL 15 MINUTES. >> YOU SEE HIM GIVING THAT LITTLE SCREAM AT THE END. WHAT THAT IS, THAT'S A MATTER OF HE KNEW HOW DANGEROUS POWELL WAS AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE JESTED TO HIM HIM IN THIS CAGE. THAT'S A GUIDE THAT IS FEELING GOOD RIGHT NOW. >> OKLAHOMA! HARD WORK! >> LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS MANNY MURO DID IN THIS FIGHT, RIGHT HAND, LEFT-HAND CARE, THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WATCH THAT RIGHT HAND LAND. NICE LITTLE MOVEMENT, LANDED, MOVE MYSELF OUT IN ON THE GROUND. THEY DIDN'T DO BIG MOVEMENTS. EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT, EVERYTHING WAS WELL CONTAINED. MOVED HIS ARMS INSIDE, NOT GETTING EXTENDED. VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE BY MANNY. >> 15TH PRO FIGHT TONIGHT. HE HAS STILL NEVER BEEN FINISHED. ALTHOUGH, IT WAS HIS OPPONENT WHO WAS THE DOMINANT FIGHTER IN THIS ONE. >> I AM WONDERING RIGHT NOW, I HAVE SEEN A PAIR OF BLUE GLOVES DEVIN POWELL PUT DOWN. NORMALLY, THAT'S AN INDICATOR THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, I MIGHT CALL THIS A CAREER. DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> TAKE A LOOK, LOOK AT THE EMOTION. >> I AGREE. HERE'S MICHAEL C WILLIAMS WITH THE OFFICIAL DECISION. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS WE SAY CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU IN A GREAT CAREER FOR DEVIN POWELL, THE DECISION WILL GO TO THE JUDGES' SCORECARDS. THE FIRST JUDGE SCORES 8:30-27. 29-28. 30-27. THE WIN BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, MANNY "THE DRAGON" MURO! >> CONGRATULATIONS TO MANNY MURO. I'M GLAD I MENTIONED IT. 15 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS, BROKEN NOSES, BROKEN EYE SOCKET, TORN KNEE. A FIGHT IN ARGENTINA WHERE HE WAS REALLY BANGED UP AND HE THOUGHT THROUGH IT ALL, FOUGHT LIKE A WARRIOR. WE THANK DEVIN FELL FOR THE GREAT MIXED MARTIAL ARTS CAREER. >> DEVIN POWELL. EMOTIONAL, TO SAY THE LEAST. ABOUT EXIT AND IN THE MAIN CAGE FOR THE FINAL TIME AS A PROFESSIONAL. >> LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT BUT I DO THINK FINISHING THE ROUND UP ON TOP IS GOING TO HELP. SANCHEZ IS NOT SOMEBODY TO TAKE HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS. I FELT ON THE FIRST CONTEST HE COULD'VE CLOSED OUT THOSE ROUNDS A LITTLE STRONGER. IT'S VERY RARE THAT YOU SEE A GUY, A TOP CONTENDER, WHO KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND A LOT OF TIMES IT'S BECAUSE THE SUPPORT THAT YOU LOVE BECOMES A JOB. I DON'T SEE THAT WITH SANCHEZ. I SEE SOMEBODY WHO IS HUNGRY, WHOSE CONDITIONING HAS BECOME A WEAPON. I'VE SEEN HIM PUT A FACE ON GUYS AND COME BACK BEHIND BECAUSE HE HAS GOT HARD AND SKILLS. HE'S VERY CREATIVE. SANCHEZ, THAT IS THE FOCUS. >> THE REMATCH OF EMMANUEL SANCHEZ IS GOING TO BE A MUST WATCH AND THAT IS THE FIRST SIDE OF THE NIGHT" WE'VE GOT OUR MAIN EVENT, WE WILL TAKE ON A DRINKER VALUE COMING YOUR WAY ON CBS SPORTS, 7:00 EASTERN/4:00 PACIFIC. WHEN THEY FIRST MEET EACH OTHER, YOU'VE HAD MANY REMATCHES IN YOUR CAREER, SO WHAT'S IT LIKE GOING INTO A BIG FIGHT AGAINST A GUY YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN? >> THE MASK IS OFF. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ALLURE, ONE THING WE USUALLY SEE IS A MUCH FASTER START. WE DON'T SEE GUYS THAT ARE HESITANT. I THINK THERE IS A MAJOR ADVANTAGE TO THAT, PARTICULARLY FOR THE FANS. WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THIS FIGHT RIGHT WHEN THE REFEREE SAYS GO. >> THEY BOTH SAY THEY ARE DIFFERENT. THEY SAY THEY IMPROVE BUT THEY DON'T THINK THE OTHER ONE HAS CHANGED MUCH SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHICH ONE IS RIGHT TONIGHT. >> THEY ARE 50% RIGHT. THEY'VE BOTH GOTTEN A LOT BETTER. I DO THINK HE SURPRISED US ALL A LITTLE BIT, PARTICULARLY SANCHEZ. NOBODY KNEW HE WAS QUITE AS GOOD AS HE WAS. NOW THAT SANCHEZ DOES, A DIFFERENT GAME PLAN. CALLING FOR A FIRST ROUND FINISH. IN ALL FAIRNESS, THEY ARE DIFFERENT FIGHTERS AND WE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT MATCH. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST FIGHT OF THE NIGHT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SET FOR A STRAWWEIGHT BATTLE. CARRIE MELENDEZ AND EMILY KING, BOTH UNBEATEN IN THEIR BELLATOR CAREERS. TALE OF THE TAPE, CARRIE MELENDEZ, 4-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL, 36 YEARS OLD, 2 INCHES TALLER, WEIGHING IN AT 116.2.

TWO PRELIMS LEFT. THIS ONE, KING AND MELENDEZ. SET TO FIGHT JOHN TO. FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. RED GLOVES FOR MELENDEZ, BLUE GLOVES FOR EMILEE KING. BOTH WOMEN TRAINED BY THEIR HUSBANDS. >> SHE POPPED HER HEAD BACK LIKE A PEZ DISPENSER. KING NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL, MELENDEZ, SHE IS A VERY SLIGHT LADY AS FAR AS HER SIZE BUT SHE'S GOT BIG POWER IN THAT RIGHT HAND. >> I'VE SEEN HER FIGHTS AND SHE WAS 23, 24. I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, SOME OF THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN, EVER. SHE'S VERY TECHNICAL, VERY COMPOSED. THE WAY SHE FIGHTS RIGHT NOW, SHE'S REALLY GOOD. >> BACK IN 2006 WHEN THEY FIRST MET, GILBERT ENDED THE NIGHT WITH A BLACK EYE. TALKING EARLIER, 4-0, THOUGHT ON THE SAME CARD, HUSBAND AND WIFE IN 230. >> A WORLD CHAMPION BOXER. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET AVA TO THE GROUND FAIRLY QUICKLY. SHE NEEDS TO DO THE SAME THING WITH HER OPPONENT. >> THAT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE. SPEAK ABOUT THE RAINS THAT KERI CARRIE IS ABLE TO CONTROL. SHE HAS SEEN ALL THIS WITH HER HUSBAND. THE STYLE THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED TOGETHER. YOU CAN SEE ALREADY, SHE IS CALM AND COMPOSED AND VERY ACTIVE WITH HER RIGHT HAND. >> SHE I VERY GOOD WITH PRESSURE AND GETS PRESSURED BY LESLIE SMITH ALL THE TIME. TALK ABOUT SOMEONE WHO CAN BRING PRESSURE IN TRAINING. ANYONE WHO COMES AFTER KERI IS RELAXED. SHE IS JUST COMPOSED AND DOES HER THING. SHE IS HERE AND IN HER CORNER FOR THIS MATCHUP. FAMILY AFFAIR IN KNOXVILLE. TURNER, HER HEAD COACH. HER STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH. GOOD MEAT, GOOD MEAT OF THE BODY. SPEAK OF THE TRANSITION THERE. NICE JOB BY KERI. >> EMILY KNOWS THAT SHE'S GOT TO GET THE FIGHTER TO THE GROUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE HER TRY TO DO. SHE IS LOOKING ALL DIFFERENT WAYS. NICE SHOT. DOWN TO ONE AND IT'S GOING TO BE OVER. TRY TO LOCK IT IN, FINISH IT UP RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. >> BEAUTIFUL JOB BY KERI MELENDEZ. >> DON'T LET GO! >> IT IS OVER! FIRST ROUND SUBMISSION VICTORY! KERI MELENDEZ IS NOW 5-0 WITH ALL OF HER WINDS HERE IN BELLATOR! ♪ ♪ THE BODY SHOT, EMILEE KING, THAT WAS TRULY THE BEGINNING OF THE END. >> YOU COULD SEE THE BODY SHOTS RIDING EMILEE. DID IT EARLIER, NICE RIGHT HAND THERE. JUST IS A SNIPER ON SOME OF THESE SHOTS. THE BEAUTIFUL RIGHT HAND. LOOK AT THE SHOT TO THE BODY AND LOOK AT THE REACTION. AT HER ELBOWS IN TIGHT AND HERE COMES THE KNEE INSIDE, RIGHT TO THE STERNUM. THAT PUTS HER IN POSITION. SHE IS HURT RIGHT NOW. EVEN WITHOUT THE RIDER CHOKE. THAT WAS JUST THE COUP DE GRACE. >> ALL THREE OF KERI'S FINISHES HAVE COME IN ROUND NUMBER ONE. BOTH OF HER SUBMISSIONS. >> KERI'S FACE, HIGH LEVEL OF STAND-UP COMPETITION. SEEN HER FIGHTS AND SHE WAS 25 YEARS OLD AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THE LEVEL SHE WAS COMING OUT, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT AWAY, THERE WAS NO EFFORT PUT UP BY KERI MELENDEZ. SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS THROWING. NICE JOB I MELENDEZ. >> A LOT OF STRIKING EXPERIENCE. 2-0 IN THE BELLATOR KICK BOXING RING. 5-0 IN THE BELLATOR CAGE. MICHAEL C WILLIAMS WILL MAKE IT OFFICIAL. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE END COMES OFFICIALLY 3 MINUTES, TWO SECONDS AND ROUND NUMBER ONE. ATTACK BY WAY OF A REAR NAKED CHOKE, WIN OR BY SUBMISSION STILL UNDEFEATED, KERI TAYLOR MELENDEZ! >> BIG SMILE ON THE FACE OF KERI TAYLOR MELENDEZ. TWO CLASS ACTS. EMILEE KING AND KERI TAYLOR MELENDEZ. KERI NOW 5-0, AS I MENTIONED. THREE FINISHES ALL IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES. >> THAT IS OUR MAIN EVENT! LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, PATRIZIO PITBULL AND PEDRO COULD BUY YOU. ALSO EMMANUEL SANCHEZ MEETING AGAIN. YESTERDAY BEFORE THE WEIGH-INS, JOSH CAUGHT UP WITH THE CHAMP. >> YOU HAD YOUR CHOICE TO PICK ANYONE IN THE TOURNAMENT AND YOU CHOSE PEDRO. WHY? [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] >> HE WAS IN THE MONTH I WANTED, WHICH WAS MARCH. I JUST COME OFF A REALLY TOUGH CAMP AND I NEEDED THAT TIME, AND SO HE WAS THE ONE. DARIAN WAS 0-2 AGAINST RICHIE, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO FIGHT HIM. >> PEDRO COMING FROM VERY VOCAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT IS IT ABOUT GUYS THAT HAVE TO TALK TRASH LIKE MICHAEL CHANDLER THAT MOTIVATES YOU TO FIGHT? [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] >> Translator: EVERYONE TALKS CRAP BUT NOW THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT AND WE'VE GOT TO STAY ENGAGED. >> YOU ARE 30-4, THE CHAMP CHAMP. A WIN IN THE TOURNAMENT, DOES THIS PUT YOU IN THE G.O.A.T. CONVERSATION? [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] >> Translator: I'M GOING TO FIGHT AND DO WHAT I DO BEST. >> GIVE ME A PREDICTION OF YOUR FIGHT. >> I'M GOING TO WIN. >> I UNDERSTOOD THAT. [LAUGHTER] GOOD LUCK TO YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> BRAZIL AGAINST PORTUGAL IN OUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING. MY PORTUGUESE IS NOT THAT GREAT BUT MUCH LIKE JOSH I DID UNDERSTAND THAT FINAL ANSWER. >> ALL RIGHT, OUR LAST PRELIMINARY MATCHUP. ALSO AT 145 POUNDS, AARON PICO SET TO BATTLE JOHN DE JESUS. >> MAKING HIS WAY TO THE CAGE NOW, JOHN DE JESUS! >> HIS NICKNAME, COMING FROM HIS DOMINICAN ROOTS. 13 PROFESSIONAL VICTORIES. BORN IN BROOKLYN, MOVED TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AT AGE 5, TO FLORIDA AT AGE 8. SEE IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A SLUGFEST OR A CHESS MATCH. DE JESUS FINE WITH EITHER ONE. >> HE TOOK ON A GUY THAT HAD ONE LOSS IN SEVEN FIGHTS. HE JUST PUT ON A STAND UP CLINIC. EVERY SHOT YOU COULD THINK OF. VERY FANTASTIC, HE LOOKED FANTASTIC. >> JONATHAN DE JESUS. >> THAT FIGHT WAS JUST TWO MONTHS, 23 DAYS AGO. AS JOHN MENTIONED, DE JESUS, 1-0. THE KING FOR A BIG VICTORY AS HE IS SET TO BATTLE AARON PICO. >> AARON PICO! >> AARON PICO, SO MUCH HEIGHT AS HE TURNED PROFESSIONAL IN THE SPORT OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. SETBACKS ONCE, TWICE, A THIRD TIME BUT IN THE LONG RUN HERE, HE STILL BELIEVES, AS DO MANY OF HIS COACHES, TRAINERS AND FRIENDS, THAT GREATNESS LIES AHEAD AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF GREATNESS. >> HE FOUND A HOME, HE FOUND PEOPLE THAT COULD GUIDE HIM AND LEAVE HIM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. HE GOT AWAY FROM EVERYTHING HE'S KNOWN AND MOVED OUT TO NEW MEXICO AND HE'S THERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, WITH JACKSON. ALL THE TALENTED GUYS ARE THERE. I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, HE LOOKED THE BEST HE'S EVER LOOKED IN HIS LAST FIGHT AND HE'S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER FROM HERE ON OUT. >> AARON PICO AND JOHN DE JESUS. OUR FINAL PRELIMINARY MATCHUP AND IT SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE. >> THIS WAS AARON PICO, WITH VERY DYNAMIC. HE JUST TRANSITIONED BEAUTIFULLY. DECIDES I DON'T HAVE TO KNOCK EVERYBODY OUT AND THAT'S WHAT HE HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE OF HIM. TAKE A LOOK AT DE JESUS. EXPLOSIVE, BIG TIME SHOTS AGAINST A VERY TOUGH FIGHTER WE HAVE SEEN DOMINATE OTHER OPPONENTS, A BEAUTIFUL WIN BY JOHN DE JESUS. >> TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT, 24-YEAR-OLD AARON PICO, 30-YEAR-OLD JOHN DE JESUS. >> DE JESUS IS GOING TO HAVE TO USE EVERY BIT OF THAT DISTANCE, KEEPING PICO AT BAY. >> HERE IS MICHAEL C WILLIAMS. >> TONIGHT HERE AT BELLATOR 252, WE CONCLUDE THE PRELIMS NOW WITH THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS AND THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. INTRODUCING FIRST, OUT OF THE BLUE CORNER, AT 5'10", 145 POUNDS EVEN, 13 WINS, EIGHT LOSSES, FIGHTING OUT OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, BY WAY OF HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA, JOHN "PLATANO" DE JESUS! AND ACROSS THE CAGE, HIS ADVERSARY OUT OF THE RED CORNER, AT 5.8, WING AND 145.6 POUNDS. AS A PROFESSIONAL HE STANDS WITH SIX VICTORIES, THREE DEFEATS. FROM WHEN YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA, HE FIGHTS OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO! INTRODUCING, PICO! AND THE REFEREE IN CHARGE, KEVIN McDONALD. >> KEVIN McDONALD, A REFEREE. FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT, AARON PICO! JOHN DE JESUS! FIGHT SCHEDULE, THREE FIVE-MINUTE ROUNDS. HERE WE GO! TONIGHT'S FIGHT CLOCK PRESENTED BY GEICO. PICO IN THE RED, DE JESUS IN THE BLUE GLOVES. AARON PICO COMING OUT OF HIS FIRST CAREER WIN BY SUBMISSION. DE JESUS, JUST ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO COMING OFF A VICTORY OVER A MAN WHO HAD A RECORD OF 16-1. RIGHT THERE IS THE DIFFERENCE. AARON PICO, THAT WAS THE PAST AND THE PRESENCE. THAT WAS USING HIS STAND UP TO BRING HIM CLOSE ENOUGH TO TAKE DOWN. >> WHILE HE WAS THROWING, WE KNEW HE COULD BOX, WE KNEW HE COULD WRESTLE. THE TWO THINGS TOGETHER. TOOK A NICE NEED TO THE STOMACH. AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS THROWING HIS PUNCHES, STILL DEEP ON THE TAKEDOWN. THEY ARE GOING DOWN. IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S THE BEST I THINK PROBABLY IN THIS SPORT RIGHT NOW. >> LOOK AT HIM, HE IS STILL SO YOUNG. WHAT HE CAME FROM, THIS IS A GUY WHO WAS ONE MATCH AWAY FROM GAMES. IN THE OLYMPICS, GOT TO WIN 2 OUT OF 3. A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE HE WON. DIDN'T GET WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET. LOST THE 2 OUT OF 3. AN OLYMPIC WRESTLER OR AN ALTERNATE. HE HAS BEEN IN SOME PORT OF COMBAT BASICALLY HIS ENTIRE LIFE. TALKED ABOUT THE STORY OF AARON PICO MANY TIMES. THE FACT THAT HE HAS STEPPED BACK, LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND SAID I NEED TO IMPROVE MYSELF IS MOST IMPRESSIVE. THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE! AARON PICO KNOWS, CLAPS HIS HANDS TOGETHER, PULLS HIM AWAY AND TURNS THEM AWAY FROM THE CAGE. JUST BEAUTIFUL TECHNIQUE AND YOU CAN SEE THE FIGHT IQ JUST GETS HIGHER AND HIGHER. HONESTLY, HIS PRESSURE IS JUST, HE'S GONE TO THE NEXT LEVEL, ALL THE GOOD FIGHTERS, ALL THE GREAT FIGHTERS COME OUT OF THERE. >> BEEN IN ALBUQUERQUE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW. LOVES HIS WAY TO GET AWAY FROM FIGHTING, WHICH IS TRULY HIS OTHER PASSION AND HE IS PRETTY GOOD AT IT. >> MOVE ON AND JUST A YEAR AND A HALF. YOU NORMALLY TAKE A FIGHTER, SO WHAT I'VE SEEN OUT OF HIM RIGHT NOW, A BIG BOXER, WE ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A GREAT WRESTLER. FOR HIM TO PUT IT ALTOGETHER AND JUST JUST A YEAR AND A HALF, SHOWN THAT HE IS OPEN-MINDED AND ON A FABULOUS JOB. I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME, I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM MAKING THESE TRANSITIONS. LIFTED HIM WITH A DOUBLE, PUT IT ON THE GROUND, JUST PHENOMENAL STUFF. >> THESE ELBOWS AND SHOTS, HE IS LANDING RIGHT NOW FOR DE JESUS. >> GOT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE HE HIT HIM WITH THE NICE ELBOW AS WELL. BE CAREFUL JUST LEANING IN. >> POWER HAS NEVER BEEN A QUESTION. MAN, YOU CAN HEAR THE HEAVINESS OF THOSE SHOTS. >> HE'S TURNING HIS HIPS OFF OF THAT, CAN POTENTIALLY PULL HIM AWAY FROM THE FENCE AS WELL. >> AARON PICO'S WIN AGAINST HATLEY JR. WAS RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA BACK ON JULY 24TH. 30 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. AGAIN, PUNCHING HIS WAY IN THE BEGINNING. HIS HANDS CLASPED TOGETHER. JUST A BIG DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE ARE SEEING. >> CLEAN BREAK, BACK TO YOUR CORNER. >> THE FEATHERWEIGHT GRAND PRIX IS BACK. TONIGHT, THE DEFENSE OF THE 145-POUND BELT, TAKING ON PEDRO IN THE OTHER FIGHTER REMATCH. AS WE MENTIONED, IT IS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ. THEY FIRST FOUGHT FOR TWO YEARS AGO. >> OUR MAIN CARD COMES TOP OF THE HOUR. >> BEHIND THE LINE, PLEASE. ROUND 2. >> ROUND 2! RED GLOVES FROM PICO, BLUE GLOVES FOR DE JESUS. HOW DO YOU SCORE ROUND 1? >> THAT'S EASY. EASILY WINNING THE FIRST ROUND. THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU GIVE IT TO HIM? I HOPE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO. AN EASY WIN. >> THAT WAS MY REAL QUESTION. BUT YOU KNEW THAT. >> UP THE MIDDLE, UP THE MIDDLE. >> YOU INTERVIEWED JACKSON OUT THERE COME UP THE MIDDLE AS WELL. DE JESUS, EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE A JOB, INSIDE OUT KICK. NICE BODY SHOT IN TRANSITION, THERE YOU GO AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT THAT! THOSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS HE HAD TO SEE! I'M SO ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT HE IS ALL THIS! >> IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. YOU'RE GETTING HIT BY HEAVY SHOTS. NOW IN HIS LEGS THAT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST BECAUSE HE IS TAKING THAT TAKEOUT AND CRUSHING THE SPACE WITH HIS CRUNCHING INSTEAD OF LUNGING FROM A DISTANCE. >> BRANDON GIBSON, THEY HAVE A VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP. OUT OF THE CORNER AS WELL. SEE THE BODY SHOTS FROM PICO. HIS KNOCKOUT OF MORRISON, BACK AT BELLATOR 252 MOHEGAN SUN HUNDRED 99. THE FIRST TIME, BEEN KNOCKED OUT. PICO IS TIRED. 20 RIGHT NOW. NOT TRUE. BIG, HEAVY ELBOW. LONGEST FIGHT OF HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER, 8 MINUTES AND 55 SECONDS. CONDITIONING AND CARDIO, NEVER QUESTION WHEN IT COMES TO 1-2 IN ALBUQUERQUE. RN, AARONNN P PO ON THE KNEE. NICE OVERHAND, RIGHT TO THE BODY. HEAVY ONCE AGAIN FROM PICO. HE HAS NEVER BEEN FINISHED BY KNOCKOUT OR TKO. >> THE OTHER THING, NOT AN EMOTIONAL FIGHTER ANYMORE. GOT INTO A SLUGFEST WITH THEM AND GOT CAUGHT. WE ARE NOT SEEING THAT RIGHTO NOW.... SS WEIGHGHGH G G GNG THE TAKEDOWN. A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIGHTER DEDENININI A A A A A A A A A A G IT WAS S HAT TIME HE S S S S MAKE T T TOVES TOONON.. AWAWAWAE NEED, , , ININ HAPPEPENED. THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. >> SO MUCH POWER BY PICO. DE JESUS CAN STAY, WE KNOW THAT. DYNAMIC STRIKER. I CANNOT BELIEVE HE IS STILL THERE. IT IS ALL OVER! AARON PICO! DID SOMEBODY SAY THAT HE POSSESSES SOME POWER? >> NO, I DID NOT. >> [LAUGHS] OH, MY GOD, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SHOT RIGHT HERE. DE JESUS, HE GETS JUST BENT OVER. ALMOST SCORPIONS HIM WHAT THAT SHOT. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. LANDS AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT HAND. DE JESUS, THAT WOULD'VE FLIPPED MOST PEOPLE OUT. AARON PICO JUST GOING AFTER HIM. WATCH THIS SHOT. ALMOST JUST TAKES HIS HEAD OFF. THAT IS AS IMPRESSIVE A PUNCH AND A RESPONSE AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO STAY CONSCIOUS. INCREDIBLE SHOT BY AARON PICO. >> ONCE MORE! ONCE MORE! ONCE MORE! THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT. >> WOW, AGAIN, THE SECOND TIME, OH, MAN! SEVEN WINS, SEVEN FINISHES FOR AARON PICO! SIX BY KNOCKOUT. >> DE JESUS, ONE TOUGH FIGHTER. THERE IS HIS GUY. JUST THROW IT. SKIES THE LIMIT LIMIT FOR AARON PICO. FIRST TIME THAT DE JESUS HAS BEEN FINISHED BY KNOCKOUT OR TKO. PICO DOING IT IN ROW NUMBER TWO, COMING OFF THAT SUBMISSION WIN. NOW IT'S THREE STRAIGHT FOR AARON PICO, THREE STRAIGHT FINISHES. AS I MENTIONED, HE HAS FINISHED ALL SEVEN OF HIS PROFESSIONAL WINS. MICHAEL C WILLIAMS TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INSIDE THE BELLATOR GAUGE, 4 MINUTES, 12 SECONDS, ROUND NUMBER TWO, THE WINNER BY KNOCKOUT, AARON PICO! >> LONGEST FIGHT OF AARON PICO'S CAREER BUT STILL THE SAME RESULT. A FINISH AND THAT ONE IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. AARON PICO WITH BIG JOHN. >> AARON PICO, THAT WAS AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OVERALL. WHEN YOU WERE ABLE TO TRANSITION WITH YOUR HANDS INTO THE TAKEDOWNS, TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING DIFFERENTLY NOW, WHAT YOU FEEL IN THIS CAGE. >> I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, IN THE CORNER, I SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN YELLING AT HIM. MY COACH IS BY HIMSELF, MAD-DOGGING HIM. I WALK BY, HE'S TRYING TO MAD DOG. I TRY TO APOLOGIZE, THAT IS NOT IN MY CHARACTER TO DO THAT, I HAD TO CONTROL IT BUT BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, IT'S JUST TIME, THREE COACHES IN MY CORNER, WHEN I FIRST WENT TO ALBUQUERQUE I WAS BROKEN, HONESTLY. I STARTED WITH THEM WHEN I WAS 4-3, TOOK SOME TOUGH LOSSES AND THEY REALLY REBUILT ME BECAUSE I WAS BROKEN. I DIDN'T REALLY TELL THEM, BUT I'M JUST CLICKING SO WELL, I NEED TIME IN THE CAGE, TIME IN MMA. ALL THE BOX AND COME ALL THE WRESTLING BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT, FIGHTING IS A DIFFERENT BEAST AND I HAD THREE AWAKENINGS AND I LEARNED FROM THEM AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU LOST BECAUSE I HAVE THE COACHES I HAVE NOW, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO SUFFER LOSSES TO ABSOLUTELY GROW. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LAST SHOT BECAUSE THAT GOT ME OUT OF MY SEAT. DID YOU KNOW IT WAS OVER AT THAT POINT? WERE YOU SURPRISED YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO CONTINUE ON? >> I DID SO MUCH FILM STUDY, PEOPLE THINK THAT I JUST SAY THAT BUT I WANT SO MUCH FILM. WE HEARD THE CORNER, ONE, FOUR, ONE, FOUR. SOUTH PAUL, IF YOU HEAR THEM SAY ONE, FOUR, JUST GET YOUR HEAD OFF CENTER LINE, WATCH HIM GO DOWN AND I GET SO PASSIONATE TALKING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE HE SAYS ONE, FOUR, ONE, FOUR, BOOM. BIG RIGHT HOOK. TO SEE IT HAPPEN TONIGHT, JUST SHOWS THE LOVE OF COACHING AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, I JUST THREW THE COMBINATION I WAS TAUGHT TO. >> IT'S NOT JUST THE COACHING, IT'S THE RESPONSE TO THE COACHING. YOU'RE DOING AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC, CONGRATULATIONS ON AN OUTSTANDING WIN. BACK TO YOU. >> MAY BE BROKEN BUT HE IS REBUILDING BETTER THAN EVER. FUN TO WATCH. 24-YEAR-OLD AARON PICO. THE TRUSTEE HAS, A SPECTACULAR FINISH. SEVENTH PROFESSIONAL WIN. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET A BACKUP TO JEN. >> THANKS, GOLDIE. I LOVE HIS RAW EMOTION THAT WE LOVE TO SEE FROM A YOUNG AARON PICO. SOMETHING I WANT TO GET IN THERE. HE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE HEARD THE OTHER GUY, THE 1-4, HE TALKED ABOUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE NOT HAVING FANS IN THE AUDIENCE AND WHAT IMPACT, THE KNOCKOUT, ABLE TO SET UP THAT SHOT. VERY INTERESTING. SEEING HOW IT WOULD AFFECT HIM. >> I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY SMART, NOT TO MENTION HE HAD HIS OPPONENT COMING AT HIM. ANYTIME YOU'RE GOING ON THE ATTACK, IT LESSENS YOUR DEFENSES. A LOT OF POWER IN THE RIGHT HAND. SPEAK OF THE GUYS TALKED ABOUT HIS FIGHT IQ. IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE HIS EVOLUTION. HE PAYS A LOT OF RESPECT TO COACH JACKSON AND WHAT HE HAS DONE. >> HE IS NOW PUTTING THEM TOGETHER, THE LAST CONTEST, FINALLY HE WASN'T JUST WRESTLING OR BOXING, IT'S A FLOW. YOU THROW THE PUNCH AS YOU PUT THINGS TOGETHER. HE IS LOOSENING UP A LITTLE BIT INTO HIS POINT THAT HE JUST NEEDS SOME TIME, IT'S VERY TRUE. HE WAS BROUGHT UP HERE WITH HUGE EXPECTATIONS AT A YOUNG AGE, DEBUTED ON PAY-PER-VIEW AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. A PRETTY HARD ROAD. >> WE LOVE THIS GUY, TALK ABOUT HIS WRESTLING PEDIGREE. HIS SIXTH KNOCKOUT INSIDE THE CAGE. IT'S REALLY FANTASTIC. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE MAIN CARD COMING UP AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. WE STARTED WITH THE 16 BEST FEATHERWEIGHT IN THE WORLD AND NOW WE ARE CLOSING OUT THE QUARTERFINAL ROUND. THE REMATCH OF EMMANUEL SANCHEZ, LOST THE DECISION OVER FOUR YEARS AGO. HE SAYS TONIGHT, IT WILL BE HIS HAND THAT WILL BE RAISED AND OF COURSE OR TWO OF BELLATOR'S UNBEATEN WELTERWEIGHT SPEAR THEY WILL PUT THEIR PERFECT RECORDS ON THE NIGHT. TAKING ON LOGAN STARLEY. THE MAIN EVENT, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE. PITBULL HAS ALREADY WON TWO FEATHERWEIGHT TOURNAMENTS. HE'S LOOKING TO ADD A THREE TO THAT AND IT'S GOING TO BE INSANE. FINAL THOUGHT AS WE HEAD INTO MAIN EVENT? >> WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING NEW, SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS GOT TO GO AND I KNOW THAT'S AN OLD ADAGE BUT IT'S A REASON IT HAS STUCK AROUND FOR GENERATIONS. WE FINISH THE NIGHT WITH A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. >> I LOVE A VERY HAPPY. THAT'S COMING UP YOUR WAY. LIFE, 7:00 P.M. EASTERN, 4:00 P.M. SPECIFIC ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK.
