301 later tonight at 9 Eastern 6 Pacific on Showtime as MOA comes forward missing with his first offensive foray as he goes downstairs with a c kick lead it's really important for KES M to continue that pressure because you want to put mamadov on his back foot mov on his back foot is not near as aggressive with his wrestling and he doesn't throw shots in the same fashion he needs to be coming forward to be really offensive sharp jab to the midsection better counter upstairs by moo with the right hand as they clinch the double collar Tie by mov as mov putting the pressure on him now but mov very aggressive along the fence yeah there was a moment where you saw their heads actually come together it was the top of moda's head and I believe the jaw of Islam yeah that was a clean Clash of heads actually unfortunately for myid off it was his jaw mov utilizing that wizard to get back to his feet there short knee strikes by Mota pummeling against the fence as mov looking for dominant position a way to change the position well I'm watching a lot of Kes Moto fights here mil we we grown to know that physically is very strong he's hard to move he's got a really good grappling game his wrestling is strong and since he's been at at he's really come along with his conditioning which was sometimes in question as far as he would have to back off and take a breath now he just continues to push yeah two great camps represented as you mentioned Moda at at mov also working with AKA and San Jose and of course fight School and his native dagistan as we are just well we've reached the Midway point of the opening round and trying to find every inch of opportunity finally mov able to break reset but on his back foot backing up to the fence again the pressure from MOA but there's a right cross from Mame that's nice but this is exactly what Moda wants to do is do not let him feel comfortable and have him start coming forward he's either going to have to stand his ground or he's going to be going backwards and that is a great game plan by Moto three minutes have elapsed here in the opening round and M up goes to the body left hook mov now trying to get on track there's a longrange jab to the midsection made life long wrestler and oh nice right hand left hook combination by mov that was a nice lead uppercut that's something you see in MMA a lot more than you see in a boxing match because of the fact that you're figting that there's a shot coming and they start to lower their hands although Marcos maana used it to Great affection against Adrien Broner setting up the jab the left hook knockdown under a minute left in the first round Mota and mov jockeying for position a war of ATT portion here just grinding away against the vence and mov looking for the the trip Tak down the outside trip and if he gets into the campus that's really where he's most comfortable and in his that is where he feels very comfortable and in the top position he's super heavy got a lot of pressure but he's going to have a he's going to find it very difficult to bring Mota down with the normal takedowns that he's comfortable with you see him with this over under lock and he's normally able to get a trip in here pull the pressure get someone off of their feet it has not worked once against m [Music] this is now the second of three rounds at a contract weight of 160 lbs and OT finds his way in with the combination yeah that definitely got my made off's attention that was a clean right hand [Music] lead left hook by motan again the left hook to the body but mov able to angle off jab from [Music] M really nice job by Moto carrying off a lot of those shots and doing a good job of trying to to defend here and beautiful butterfly hooks looking for that elevator sweep right at the Tak down by mava mov now is moda not making it easy for him from his back he's making him work and he's he's making mid off actually have to sit back with his hips so his hips don't get light but as we have talked about this is where Mama made Mama made Mama made off mid off is is definitely his most comfortable top pressure one of his strengths but this is if you're in the motor camp this is what you want to see in terms of how he's trying to defend not accepting this position and doing his best to try to stay off his back which he's doing he he actually allowed mid off to pass into side control now he's giving up his back to try to get himself to the cage to stand up and he is able to stand up but it is mov with back control takes him back to the mat and this is a dagani special anytime I can you want to stand up I'll let you get up and I'll return you to the Matt honorary citizen is Matt return absolutely they like to get into World they get the Tak down they call it flying dagani a yeah always a turbulent ride flight and of course the Dagan handcuffs of course risk control they they've really uh obviously done a tremendous job and it all begins with Habib nurov who retired with the father win his father but in terms of the the fighters who look up but absolutely Abdul manov the patriarch and both guys really working hard at Tak down time but even when getting the takedown like my off was able to get he wasn't able to do anything with it there was no damage at all in the ground only time abib Naga mov retired at 29-0 of course Main Event later tonight Yos slav amof 27-0 defends the Welterweight Title against Jason Jackson yeah and you think about what it takes and you know we were talking earlier Fedor minkle had one fight against T siosa kosaka that he wasn't a loss because it was and then the no contest with the headbut with noera he could have been 31 and exactly with those two no contest before he ran into fabrio verum but in any event just over a minute and a half left here in the second and it continues to be I I continue to use the word adris John because they are just stuck against defense just trying for every small inch trying to find a way to impose their will and skill and and I know it looks like oh you know they're just holding on each other there's so much energy being used right here this is grueling for both guys a lot of strength energy everything being employed and referee Jason Herzog used a little energy saying come on guys y oh just right there but not and this is what happened this is the new EV M because you know it used to be you were as good a wrestler as we'll say m off is you're able to get those takedowns on it's not easy to get a takeown in MMA anymore you have really got to be Superior in that area or work incredibly hard to get that two for four in the Tak down Department thus far tonight from mov M 0 for one 30 seconds left in the middle stanza and mov opening up briefly allowing himself to get away from the fence and just missing the spinning back fist was K Motas he's looking for something dramatic right hand by mov but Moda used it to time the crashing of the space the crushing of distance John again putting mov on the fence and he got double unders you see mov trying to dig that underhook in there close round hope that there is that sense of urgency and they let it all hang out here in the final 5 minutes of this contract weight fight at 160 lb Islam mov in the red gloves looking to bounce back from A Loss to Sydney Outlaw while KES Mota he's on a three-fight winning streak coming off a victory over Kenneth cross at Bellator 294 back in April via second round rear naked choke M looking to put together some combinations is in that position where he wants to throw those combinations but he doesn't want to overextend and allow mid off to get into that clinch body lock position that he likes so much izing lateral motion anticipation of the Counterattack from Mota minute has already elapsed here in the third spinning back this just grazing the beard of [Music] they're attacking the lead leg but single shots only John yeah both guys are being very hesitant in making a mistake Moda needs to just think about he's going to throw his hands straight down the pipe straight shots are going to get there and they're going to go in the direction that R wants to come at him the beautiful take down by Islam mov using moda's momentum and belly to belly suplex almost take down there by m yes gani utilizing his wrestling background and under three minutes now left here in the final frame [Applause] [Music] halfway mark of the final round mov now looking to continue to control MOA but Mota doing a great job off his back throughout the fight and not allowing mid off to get comfortable in his [Music] [Applause] office you're looking at M looking for a deep half here trying to get the hips of M off just a little bit light unable to get there final two minutes of this bout made off three for five in the takeown department leads and Strikes in this final round seven to three right now very close in the Striking department and it could come down to what transpires here in the next minute and 40 seconds mov has 10 submission wins he now has Moda on his back looking for moa's close [Music] guard but for Moda time of slipping away because as you stay on your back here if you're not throwing up submissions and putting him on the defense defensive everyone's going to look at that he's the offensive fighter short strikes from made off to continue to keep distracted minute left in the fight see when you're seeing Moto with that closed guard like that that's telling you that he's staying there he's not going to be going anywhere he's
