swings into it that makes it hard to deal with it hard to see [Applause] [Music] Mousasi admitting that Machida was just better than him when they met five years ago Machida with masazi said that it was following machito too much was it which is exactly what Machida wanted now Mousasi not making an excuses but what's coming up a long way off going into their first place because he had an ACL injury one of the things you just saw that first kick by Leo no what you saw a guard doing is he's trying to sweep the leg past him it's almost like the matador sweeps the bull past it if he's able to do that he's going to put Leo to a position where he cannot attack and you're gonna see gay guards blasting him on the right handle bleep kick attempt by Mousasi Machida the only fighter in UFC history to earn to knockout victories stemming from a front kick to the face last fight in the Octagon II vanquished Vitor Belfort and of course he also beat the legendary Randy Couture sending Couture into retirement so Mousasi has to be cognizant to the fact that Machino he can pick from many defaults that he can patina he has definitely with sassy getting lagina's attention here in the opening round 26 on the South Seas 45 winds of [Music] Mousasi I'm sure there's a few chanting from the cheetah as well to the most accomplished fighters in all of MMA see mechina without nice hip babysit turn twitching his hip combination bible shot is exactly what Gegard needs to do every time there is movement towards closing with that distance Gegard needs to unload on him Machida black belt in BJJ and shotokan karate it's a family affair for the machito's the cheetahs ground game is outstanding but he hasn't won by submission 2007 is a distinct difference in the ground games of lyoto machida and Gegard Mousasi what is the biggest difference John the pressure that Gegard create [Music] making the a while to renew acquaintances here in the opening round they went five rounds the last time five years ago but only three rounds to get it done here tonight they are not allowing bill to the booth as far as that distance we ought to see trying to create a distance collective breath gave guard immediately shuffling his feet straight into him putting the pressure back while [Applause] the head kick left by Musashi oh and a shotgun down the pike by machito coming up on the final minute of the first round the known kicked by new shot see anytime you see the autumn ochita coming fairly on day guard you know gay guard is not doing what he needs to do to win this fight he has got to continue to maintain that at least even pressure is not forward movement Mousasi training out of the Burt cops gym in the Netherlands Machida representing the cheetah karate black house horse black house he trains mythical exit former UFC heavyweight champion pumping silver journalist and that michelle preserve us who is quite the flamboyant fighter but as we close out the opening round we will head to round number not a lot to digest in that opening round john how did you score it not a lot but if you're gonna look at who landed the better strikes throughout the cheetah had his moments gay guard had his but remember that one shot that push the cheetah across the cage tonight yes it's gonna be a sauce with that round mix on the fly station you my new cording walk friends that fight odds I appreciate the the tweets from the name Vegard Mousasi a -3 40 favorite against world of potatoes at plus 270 as cyborg will get set to challenge julia bud for the Bellator MMA

memory cyborg would like to step into the boxing ring against break delimiter [Applause] all right gentlemen second round good fight rest by health help the BAL the round to the owner Machida the red gloves Gegard Mousasi in the blue gloves i smoothly by Gegard to cut that movement of Machida off take not only the step to the side but also a little bit of a step forward the cheetah is so hard to deal with because he's rolling into attacking him because he wants to counter he looks open but then he creates that little bit of space it makes you miss and then immediately loses and touches you of the shop by Mousasi [Music] neither wants to lead the dance John why did his death hit both of them are afraid of the counter of the others Leona's trying to set little traps giving in movements would look at they hit and twitch that'll give little movies like I'm going to do something because he's wanting Gegard to think that that attack is coming so he throws so Liana could get come out with his counter talk about the kicking strategy of Mousasi in the way he is so trying to attack the lead leg of a southpaw there's what I'm talking about with that nice little Matt adoring of the leg to bring the right hand strikes moving in with a give bugs plunge after quickly try to create that keeping that pressure on the cheetah what do you think I'll flip kicks oh my god to me we allow people to punch and kick people to their head the head is the most precious thing we have I can deal with an oblique kick any time talking hit me to the head don't kick through the head I'll be a great fighter under three minutes left in the middle frame and the fuse yet to be lit in this middleweight main event inside leg kick by Mousasi when Machida switches to the southpaw you should see Musashi now attack him that right kick to the body for example four five Mousasi that he threw he's past the midpoint of the round and the fight just like Machida just threw that left kick to the body of the saucy sassy needs to start utilizing that right kick to the chin his body in that southpaw position now Machida has 11 knockouts in two submission wins but likes to espouse the karate mentality in that point fighting job well he's always in the position of I want you to think there's an opening I want you to think we could attack two minutes left in the second and they're trying to get behind trying to light these fighters up here at the Forum in Los Angeles and now Mousasi again there's the kick by Machida tell Frank Shamrock that bats are shattered by coach Liu yuan Jose California and there's his goodness to hit involve a minute and a half left to the second [Music] people have told me that I have commitment issues John I believe that the cheetah and the Shafi might have the same problem what look this is here's the difference you just watched it his last fight the other cheetah fight' shells on a guy shell Sodom has always got a zit God that comes forward pressure fighter and that's why you earned a lot of big fights absolutely but it also earned him a need to the chin and sent him into retirement but John the fighting losses broadcast game and that's what happens wouldn't fight Leona he blows you into wanting to come after all so Gegard is trying to be technically sound when he's coming forward there's no cheating with the left of Machida sassy and the final 25 seconds let's see if they start to bring the fight to each other counter right half body shot see Sasha's taking his eyes off the sheet at times and that's not a good thing you're gonna took that hit my eyes got to be on my time the third and final round coming up here from the born in LA [Applause] she was hoppin on the panel ecologist animal so the tolerance efficient sauropod or didn't we okay that looks familiar John that's that's Andrew Simon gave me an opportunity to call New Japan Pro Wrestling can't wait the Wednesday but here we go third and final round of this fight I totally as we got on the over the cheek [Music] settle the score Kendall sucks the avenge the loss on Machida make it two straight against the dream I read in who other cases rounds going to take the fight they both have to open up inside I got a go for this nice movement the [ __ ] awful partner offense has been hermetically sealed there's a body kick in the county wide stance he's got that knee to the rear that is making this awesome not throw that left hand cuz he's pretty good on the thrones he's out of range for me I got a groove too much with my feet get that thing that procedure some kick to the body of maybe Yugi he's younger than it'll stop him talk with the sauces book and kick to that ankle area stepping on his work when he stepped around his foot that's worth because it might says you try to retreat now you get elongated out here the shots gonna put you down now it's the mechina chance that Rosen born here in Los Angeles just a chess match both guys wanting to draw dogs looking to that opportunity just an erythema isn't there a timer in some chess matches you gotta make a move on some game yes sassy continues to deliver the oblique kick but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the cheetah but really I think the Frog is that Mousasi has taken most of his kicks out of the equation here is nothing behind this like a stand-up boxer lever kick there bride down swinging wildly touched it Sassie comes with the right which other says okay let's go let's go it takes two to tango he's gotta bring it and the cheetah okay yes he's attacked beside the head bobbing around those shots have left in the fight what can Musashi do to maximize the top position working from the Coast Guard in the treetops keep his hands his hands towards the bicep2 shortage of Machida for the h-space posture and start to do damage with big shots 60 seconds of our car main events middleweight rematch between lorna Machida Gegard Mousasi sassy halts seven wins over further UFC Strikeforce of Bellator champions [Music] final 30 seconds we were trying to possibly suitable the piece [Applause] Mousasi has been [Applause] trying to control another go [Applause] Mousasi helping to his feet they embrace but it will be up to the three judges chosen by the California State Athletic Commission to render their decision as to who will win this rematch how do you have it after three rounds on your unofficial scorecard I hadn't tried it even going to the last in the year that was very close to the stand-up it goes to the ground Lyoto is the one that actually landed more as far as volumen shots and that guillotine attempt at the end is fairly tight that's the that's the most telling part of the round I'm going with lyoto machida just action the fight here's Mahaska going after these the hands that left hand and then a right on top leg kick that puts him down that's off outs you see Machida going right back from Musashi trying to land shots wasn't able to land anything off of it because Machida with this kick up high boom that landed solid he ends up going down from it but that kick did land and from this position he sees Machida opening up with some strikes going out to the guillotine choke it's the closest thing that had the possibility of ending this fight but the fight ends after three rounds and so we await the judge's verdict [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let's find out it was going to be popping a bottle of la semaine doo-wop here is Michael C Williams with the official decision ladies dumpin put the decision will go to your judges scorecards your first judge

sequences you got hit with a head kick but he was off-balance you ended up on top and how tight was that guillotine attack he didn't hit me with the kick guillotine ones talked about nothing that I
