tonight's fight clock presented by geico vander ford in the red gloves to jesus second fight at 185 for vinicius de jesus very nice there's that chain wrestling we had talked about he had talked about as well we've got submission attempt though we have talked he's got a real problem because of the fence josh he can't just push his way out no but all he's got to do is counterbalance it by pushing his foot josh was saying earlier during our preliminary fight the mixed martial artists in the world present days are so good that you just can't shoot and be successful you've got to utilize chain wrestling right but we just saw that so austin shot in didn't get the first initial take down when he switched and went to the outside he went deep in the butt and was able to turn the corner nice job by austin had a very nice job by dejesus by the way either has vanderbilt austin wanted to give a shout out to his family and the milkshake and to a congratulations coach who just retired after many years and he wanted to send some love that way as well it's two big overhand rights in a row landed by which is what brought him to the state of oregon was his collegiate wrestler midway point round one gotta start checking those john it's gonna be a long fight if you don't get on that check that is a fast kick that thing is coming out real quick and as this fight goes on you just tend to slow down and the speed tends to slow down you leave your guard open we're already seeing him start to slow down as he goes right now john good jab in that big right hand just missed a moment ago but it is the jab that has been instead it's getting him his distance that jab has been connecting there's that big overhand right again he is vicious there you go that's fine now inside control hands off the map keep working from the bottom your elbows are fine short elbows corner doing a very nice job at telling him about getting out of that butterfly guard there's a lot of things that can happen rory smith used to utilize that butterfly guard to be very good in his defense and a lot of times you have to be very careful with it you feel much better where he's at in a full guard even though it's open now this is where austin bandeford lives you just made me feel as old as you are that's because you are i am well you guys remember tk kusaka he used to use that all the time that was where he lived basically off of that position that's where maurice smith got here tk could kick a little bit so could maurice 30 seconds on the clock in just a moment here round one trying to break down the brazilian bad boy i want to see austin posture up give a little bit he's got to clear those feet off the hips first before he postures as you saw right there he's rolling his hip trying to drop that leg off the best way to sit up in ground up in this position while your opponent's back is to the fences put your forehead against the fence it takes away a lot of the submissions as well as keeps them there and locked in so i met you big john december 1990s good job man good job easy up right here on the 24-hour home of cbs sports red gloves for vander ford blue very nice job with the left hand followed by the right right into the takedown by vanderford well between rounds austin's corner told me that jab is landing every single time you throw it so let's just keep sticking that jab and sure enough he threw three in a row right there all three of them john yeah even though austin threw less punches he had more success at a 50-51 the guys he's going to train now the american top team is he kind of watches for a few days he goes i don't like the way that guy works i like his work ethic i think i'm going to be one of his coaches king mo has selected austin as one of his students like austin said he just one day showed up and started watching all my sparring sessions and the next you know hey i gotta have this guy in my corner king mo is i mean to use this word politely he's kind of a nerd what i mean by a nerd is that he's very into this sport he sits at home and watches tape and watch these guys fight you're seeing just the domination right now in that top position you're seeing austin has been able to trap the right hand of venesius de jesus behind him and that's why you see vanessa is bringing his left arm over trying to land elbows his right arm is trapped he cannot defend with it and right now austin's just trying to figure out a way to get his left arm free so he can just use it as a jacket he did land a couple of heavy hammer fists yes you know when we talk about austin vanderford with chael obviously he always talks about how strong austin vanderbilt is as strong as pretty much anybody that child's ever wrestled with worked out with trained with well this is one of the things that austin really likes is that he likes the arm triangle choke you can see he was trying to set it up it didn't work for him but he has got a pressure everyone's pressure is different everyone squeezes a little differently all of a sudden you will train with someone that and they put a squeeze on you or they put a pressure on you this guy is strong that's awesome [Music] austin has not fought in nearly a year his last [Music] austin manafort doing a lot of good work here going to the body going to the head big elbow across those slashing elbows are so hard to stop because they happen fast you don't really see it in time if you're not with your arms already up that's going to make impact if we're doing just good solid ground and power work a lot of times when you have somebody people look at ground upon they don't think there's a technique to it there is an absolute skill set on the ground of being able to do damage here austin goes back to that arm triangle tried to set it up again but that leg being trapped keeps him from being able to slide across 30 seconds now he's got that arm triangle set if he gets that leg off it's putting a lot of pressure down that is tight right now vanessa is trying to work his way through it again [Music] big finish in round two for the gentlemen nine and oh austin vanderford red gloves for vanderford blue gloves for dejesus third round five minutes remain there's that jab again setting up the takedown by using that jab austin has done a very good job of making this his fight mike he's come out he's utilizing his stand up to bring him into the world that he is so good at that is this ground and pound and working towards the submission that he has come close he came close in the end of that second round he's finished five of his last six fights everyone needs to remember that he's been he's been in charles summons uh grappling tournament against guys like jake shields and other top black belts so there's nothing that this is going to do that he hasn't already seen just a matter of getting caught in exchange is when you're throwing punches and strikes it sometimes gets you in trouble well and that's how he has stayed busy since his last fight in the bellator cage in tel aviv three times he competed in chael's event so he stayed active and thus looks very good here so far with 3 45 on the clock third and final round of this middleweight match that was a slicing elbow across and again it happened so fast you cannot stop completed that submission at the end of round two it would have been the first time vinicius has been stopped another one right there john [Music] once again limitations of traffic overwhelming the brazilian bad boy bloodying them up looking to finish his fight that far side underhook is really what's keeping his back flat to the ground and that overhead chest pressure so he's got that chest pressure over to jesus's body that's easier for her to keep him down almost tried to make that transition right there at the very end beside you again that was a nice move by dejesus underneath because he had gotten his arm trapped he goes right back to that one of my favorite to try to hit in fights because there's it's risk reward if i lose the position i can always go back to a top position if i lose a position sometimes i can take your back from that position plus there's also different ways to hit the choke from that side not just the side choke there's other different types of neck cranks you can also hit when they start to try to roll away [Music] third straight fight at 185 for vanderford [Laughter] swings him off of the cage puts his back all the way onto the canvas slicing elbows you're seeing exactly what chael someone talked about though the physical strength of holding his guys down in chelsea training with austin several times and he said very clearly he is physically just super strong inducted into the alaska state hall of fame for his wrestling i wanted to give a shout out to his high school coach john linderman is a tough guy that's why he's never been stopped john that's it there is no give up don't let him mount the back 20 seconds yes indeed they go the distance give a ton of credit to vinicius to jesus as austin vanderford will move to a perfect ten and oh we will make it official coming up next [Music] hey john you said it and it was the right thing to say austin painted the picture with his power boy he did he when he got finally got himself under control and his fight started using that jab that left hand and then the big overhand right started hurting vinicius utilizing his wrestling putting vinicius de jesus in positions where he was just a defensive fighter for most of the fight after the the first half of the first round michael c williams with the official decision ladies and gentlemen having gone the distance will go to your three judges at cage side your first brian miner scores it 30 to 26. while judges david peabody and jacob montalvo both the same 30-27 i'll have it for the winter pie unanimous decision still undefeated the gentleman austin bender boy still has not been stopped
