and glory goes through poland from what i'm hearing the octagon they'll be fighting is a little bit smaller than this this definitely is to the advantage of the fighter who is the power pointer which yannick is so we're ready for you know whatever [Applause] [Applause] today we're gonna do just you know multivine's ride for the training for today cardio look how beautiful is here no people again no politics yes now i just got in uh to vegas flight was easy slept the whole way from auckland to l.a pretty much slept the whole way from late to vegas so i'm about to go sleep the whole way to

to the bridge we got it oh okay we can drink some before the fight like costco oh i can't sleep i can't sleep oh no that should be right i know the drunken fist another drunken fist yes now you can only do something wrong brevis perfect speed is okay power is good and still i've got you know couple days to catch the peak great this is a little bit unexpected it wasn't like when we planned this uh many years ago the double chain thing wasn't there but you know like it's a challenge like that that's why we're doing this [Music] this is a true challenge for all the purists to take note [Music] i will come back to our rooms play some games watch some movies who knows maybe someday my photo will be here [Music] still got something to do taking the atmosphere in the cage filling everything i'm in the mode right now i'm in the zone wow it all comes down to this the final five minutes to determine the ufc champion yeah that moment for me was one of the greatest moments of my life just that moment not the fight that moment right there was one of the greatest moments of my life this was one of those ones at the time my most satisfying fight based on the the street he was talking before the fight and i sat his bum ass down like you can't doesn't get any more bulk than this man 57 127 people strong have a chip on his shoulder i like this chip on my shoulder i like i like feeling this way i like feeling like the young izzy the the kid that was picked on the kid that wanted to save you i'll show you you know i've said it many times john's our toughest opponent uh it's our biggest challenge so far uh both literally and figuratively just did my um training sessions got some some light work some light work in and yeah feeling gravy baby we out here representing the land like we always do like soldiers going off to war in my gym you know you can lose sparring no problem but if you lose in pinpog too many times so you will [Applause] yes because i focus about the fight that's why i'm ready for everything fight on the ground i'm ready for decision no we're going to the press conference so as you know something different not all the time in the you know sportswear sometimes i need to change clothes what's up everybody thanks for coming today we appreciate it who's got the first question it's clear you have jon jones's attention you know you've teased moves to heavyweight as well i mean there's all these huge opportunities so at that point would it would another middleweight title defense even interest you or does it become about chasing you know the biggest opportunities available yeah i look i peek ahead and just see what the lay of the land is and how i can change history again obviously he's a fantastic striker but he's moving up quite a bit he's going to be a lot smaller than you um do you see him as a knockout threat i mean are you concerned that he could ko you or do you feel like maybe the size is more of a factor than he's acknowledging he is really good striker so i have to be you know watch for everything because also he can knock me out israel you've talked about in the past your big walkouts there for the occasion the big sold out stadium in australia that had a big walk out no fans little more subdued you're going for champ champ status should we expect a big walk out this saturday no i'm just doing what i do yeah just walk out to knockouts [Music] wake up like a sleeper agent and i go to work visualization is the most one of the most powerful weapons or tools you have at your arsenal and a lot of people fail to use that [Music] now half hour maybe 40 minutes of sacrifice and then just just fun and pleasure cherry on the top of the cake fight everything jan juahovich the official weight for the last style bender isanya your championship main event is official destiny is defined as a predetermined course yet for a select few it's to transcend we're about to kick it up a notch like i just want to show off who else am i going to fight a middleweight so i got to go get that belt next a polish powerhouse we're gonna be sad after this fight it's gonna be a pleasure for me to beat someone who never loses las vegas nevada yangroujovic was equal parts calm cool and collected on route to winning the ufc heavyweight light heavyweight title last year against that man the last style bender new zealand's israel out of giving you so much classics the bratavares fight it's bronzing oh knock down sonia this is perfect for the storyline [Music] i was excited because you know when they send me a message with this case you know big name well hope it just touches you he touches you and you just see the difference i don't care what he is planning but i destroy his plan this is just going to prove to people that muscles don't win fights [Music] and adriana sanya possesses a plus skills in every part of mixed martial arts he must clearly be aware that there's a technical gap between them you see adasanya came in about four and a half pounds below the championship limit time the last style bender alessandra protect yourself at all times follow my instructions you're going to keep it clean touch gloves and let's do it understands the dangers and challenges in front of him tonight as bohovich lands to that lead leg of arasana arasana said he expected bolhovich to grapple early that has not happened as yet he didn't want to lose any speed and he didn't want to lose any endurance he didn't want his body to feel different that's just fainting draw something out there [Music] is doing a good job of checking these kicks the hovage is not planted when he's throwing these shots because he's eating all these faints yep oh look at that oh there's the clinch body shot and then a left hand up top you cannot make any mistakes with this guy oh my goodness see that look at him trying to slide out oh yeah that's that's right on the cup let's go you ready to go okay fight flurry from behold he's always dangerous right here you see izzy throw the inside leg kick he'll hold his right hand lands on the chin numbers unofficially 43-32 hovich in terms of these significant strikes landed oh and that's what he has to do oh there you got to be close to edison in doing that oh double leg oh nice knee there by beholdbitch stop the guard to prevent some of that good combination of madisonian hovich chooses to clinch making these clinch strikes count look at that beautiful and now that hovers lead leg starting to show some real damage oh nice jab by beholding that one landed clean both of them did heavy one of the more significant strikes landed bob hovich there here's the clinch again but the issue with that is that izzy does such a great job of making you miss and then making you pay here's beholves just touches him with that i mean no damage there there's a counter left by bojovich that was on the job eugene behrman said to adasanya who needs a big right hand that these are the rounds in which you got to showcase your superiority oh look at that oh beautiful beautiful double leg by yamahovich felt like if he could stay heavy on top of adasanja he could change the complexion of this fight well this is huge this is absolutely huge and there's a perfect example of it right there as izzy went to reach up for the head yan was able to use that leg that he's holding in between his two legs good shots to the body and those hurt oh there's a good elbow could conceivably be 2-2 as we hit our fifth and final round keep your hands up and make sure you use the left job double up on the job gets into the hips of that asani leaned over but it's so big and powerful that he just ran right into him and then ground and pound like right there nice defensive movement by arasanya oh he gets done and i'm securing this round yes no unnecessary risk this is the end of the round yeah for three more minutes you got a guy moving up at 20-0 and he did not bat an eye they go the full 25 minutes and now here's the takedown and this was huge absolutely huge and still the undisputed ufc how are you doing what did you feel like when during the fight instead of doing wines i was doing lines just so i can stay up and then bruce buffer just had me one of these so i probably should have one of these is this a one-off that's not a one-off i definitely will be back but um yeah like i said dare to be great i'm going back down to 185 and i'm gonna roll that [ __ ] with my iron black fist what if anything was different in this fight than you thought it would be i think that he gonna be a little bit faster but he don't hit so hard but he was a little bit slower but hit harder this is something what i don't expect glover to share is right now the number one contender do you think that that will be your next fight i think so and i think he deserved for that and i would like to fight against glover next you were the true champion before this you're the true champion now congratulations sir dana i want to ask you about the main event maybe not quite the the barn burner that everybody was hoping for but ended up being kind of a technical battle what did you think about the way the fight played out and of course how the scores played out they got to stop giving this this this 10 8 shit's out of control right now so hopefully we can get this fixed and they're going to screw up a lot of fights there they're they're handing out 10 8s like that there was no 10-8 in that fight glover was the backup do you view glover as the number one contender right now yeah yeah yeah glover is 100 do you feel size was a factor in the main event do i feel size was a factor size is always a factor when you move up a weight class in this sport if you look at and think about what you personally and everyone else thought of israel out of sanya going into this fight yan fought a great fight against him who in this room thinks that that fight was four to one anybody tell me if you do no yeah not one person in here people who watch fights every [ __ ] weekend think that that was four to one it's a big problem right now with judging that needs to be fixed you mentioned in the past that you saw someone like max holloway go up a division and he looked too small for him and he didn't want to see it again do you feel similar to israel or could he work his way back up put on some pounds and then maybe go to 205 in the future i think israel should should focus on on middleweight right now get back in there and you know keep doing what he does in the middleweight division israel of of course losses are not something you have to deal with very often so just talk to us right now about just kind of the emotion as you kind of let everything process on his way of getting cut from the company comes back and then dominates you know becomes a light heavyweight champion and it hands this guy a future legend his first loss yeah if i was going to lose to anyone i'm glad i lost to him the later rounds as you said were kind of clear in scoring with the takedowns i think some of the earlier rounds maybe not as much i mean what did you guys ended up only getting one round the third what did you guys think about the scoring as it was playing out he just held on and just you know snuck some shots in to try and keep it busy enough that the referee doesn't stand it up and that's a veteran move because he's a veteran in this game do you see a career path for yourself right now i mean is it hey let's just go dominate 185 and show we can do do you still like hey i want to still entertain maybe a move back to 205 at some point i mean what's what's the plan oh that's it you just got to take him down and then that [ __ ] you got him alright cool bet but i'll remind them again why i'm the king at 185. you also had the feud with john right the personal thing and i know you wanted to fight john now that john is a heavyweight and you've been in there with a light heavyweight is that out of the picture now or do you still feel like never say never but right now like i said i'm going back down to 185 and getting my work done but yeah [ __ ] that [ __ ] anyway but now we we go back to the drawing board and it's kind of fun like i look forward to like this is the dip in my story you know what i mean this is the bit where you know the valley if you will and then i rise up again like the phoenix that i am john congratulations on a a big win for you and your career what's uh what's emotions like right now after being the underdog yet again and handing this guy is his first loss i think now i gonna have respect from everybody nobody you know and in the next fight i will not gonna be underdog anymore i think so but i don't care anyway i can could be can you compare this to winning the title what the feeling is like defending it versus winning it now he's got 20 and one so he's gonna remember me to the end of his life the first one would defeat him in mma it tastes much better you know amazing amazing but go to poland you know great feeling amazing amazing one more time
