that one you know but thank God the Bell was there but he's got his back right now this is a great position for him he needs to keep that pressure on Daniel right now I'm trying to jump in lunge in rather than press in and that's how Patricio is able to catch him he's lunging he's not impressive see what happens when a warrior like me gets back in there Gloria punches there by Patricio Pitbull well defended though well covered by Daniel Strauss good right beautiful right hand best punch of this round first place more show voting from Patricio Pitbull and that's really out of character it is I think he has a planet he's not against too many showboats he's trying to draw Strauss into either counter right or get that takedown that he likes to get at the end of the round me from Patricio Pitbull do you see the balance he threw the fly knee and then landed on his feet incredible balance by the Brazilian closing seconds of this fight Strauss looking for a suplex and he gets it the Bell the end of a very entertaining fight all for the winner by unanimous decision now the season for Bellator featherweight Tournament champion foreign [Applause] with straight punches [Music] oh the live Pope both of whom felt it it's hard call by John McCarthy yeah Strauss immediately going over and apologize he felt that small abrasion up on the head it's in case the databrasion would turn into a

show me your scorecard 10-9 Daniel Strauss aggressive Landing good shots like I said Pitbull hasn't yet adjusted to this kind of fight I don't think he expected this yes do you think Daniel Strauss is going to slow down you have not seen him fight before Carson recognized that as low he said are you good both Fighters agreed to keep going slow kick again from Pitbull another shot called by mccarson that's two in a row weren't bad weren't egregious but two in a row kicked him right in the cup I don't know what he's complaining about another shot to the cup and again top call by John McCarthy and here come the booze loudly get over there backing up does not change the fact you can't hit him in the garage did I say your turn this is big looking for the up kick explodes forward good sprawl from pinball man great scramble by pitbull pitbull also has a great Guillotine Jiu Jitsu genius back to their feet nice throw by Dennis Strauss roll from the body lock for Strauss and Pitbull right back up

mess upstairs [Applause] when he hit here the foot hit him in the groin okay [Applause] the knee hit clean the foot hit him in the groin that's one that looks illegal but the cup sticks on it's easy to hit with a knee or Shin so Patricio Pitbull who soughty and won that fight has to reset Brazilian the native Portuguese speaker speaks very limited English John McCarthy trying to explain in

over the top over and over again people just can't see them coming these guys still have a lot of respect needs it to win the fight he needed to clear his head and survive now he needs you to hold on to the time just have to ask yourself as the Luck run out now he's not a great Fighter the third time in a row he's needed a desperation comeback to win a fight Daniel Strauss has looked more and more comfortable the evolution of Daniel Strauss has been on display first fight to second fight to third fight with pitbull what do you have to do to pimple he keeps coming forward it's not the kind of guy who's gonna get frustrated winning by decision he's not going to go well he said I was going to finish him and I didn't no decision is just fine he wants the belt it will still fit oh shaking out that left hand it's not a good sign he's been throwing it so much Pitbull has a forehead like a stone when he surprised me you've hurt his hands nice right hand Tuesday he's pulling that left hand back when he throws it it's so tough when you're giving away all that height it has been Daniel strauss's night it has been Daniel strauss's fight but Pitfall somehow is still in it as we go to round five are you listening to me are you listening to me are you listening to me are you listening to what I'm telling you that is what Patricio Pitbull is hearing that's what he's being told that's what he's being asked [Applause] he is going for the back is Dead gonna give him the back again I do not believe what I am seeing is it possible it could happen again is it possible that Patricio Pitbull has another miracle comeback in him this would not be in my mind a comeback this would be an epic collapse for Daniel Strauss if he lost this fight can he last the two minutes and exercise the Demons

time [Music] I want to see as if Daniel Strauss throws the left hand with confidence he said it was about a month he finally cracked someone in training with it and he said It felt great brains your versatility we're seeing a much more patient pit bull he's waiting for the one big shot a little bit like how he fought Ben Henderson his Camp was different he said that anyway he's had it was a recovery Camp he said listen I'm not I'm not stupid I'm not 19 years old anymore I know it I can't go three or four times a day he was coming off that freak injury that cost him the Ben Henderson fight this is how he fought Ben Hazard for him to come inside throwing big punches Ben never got his offense going he gained a lot of confidence from that fight that was a win for Ben Henderson but Patricio felt that was the flu away well solid kick from Patricio and you got to watch is he going to be gun shy about throwing that kick I mean that was a brutal injury Shave Club get your fresh blade shave at dollarshaveclub.com today 10-9 Pitbull but it's more accurate with the right hand than Daniel S I thought Pitbull more effective he has a great Guillotine you see Daniel strauss's hand
