THOSE OF YOU WITH US STILL ON BBC IPLAYER, WE WILL INTERVIEW THE WINNER. HERE'S GARETH WITH MVP. >> MICHAEL VENOM PAGE, THE CROWD I THINK WANTED A FINISH FROM YOU TONIGHT. WE DIDN'T GET ONE. >> I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES, THE CANVAS TODAY WAS SO SLIPPERY. I HAD TO CHANGE MY WHOLE STYLE, THIS IS WHY IN THE FIRST ROUND I STOPPED BOUNCING. I COULDN'T KICK, EVERY TIME I TRIED IT I WAS GOING TO SLIP. SO IT WOULD'VE JUST DEFEATED THE WHOLE POINT, I HAD TO GO VERY BASIC. ROSS IS NOT LIKE YOU CAN PLAY WITH, I WENT TO PLAN Z AND DIVIDED TO FIGHT. >> IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING CHESS MATCH. >> IT ONLY WAS BECAUSE I COULDN'T MOVE. >> MICHAEL, YOU FOUGHT FIVE TIMES IN 2019, YOU GOT A VICTORY THIS YEAR. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO NEXT AND WHO DO YOU WANT TO FACE? >> EVERYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THAT, I ONLY WANT ONE PERSON. ONE PERSON HAS GIVEN ME A DEFEAT, WHEREVER YOU GO, MIDDLEWEIGHT, I'LL FIND YOU. HAVE YOU I'LL FIND YOU. THAT'S THE REMATCH I WANT. >> YOU ARE TALKING TO DOUGLAS LIMA WHO FIGHTS GEGARD MOUSASI IN TWO WEEKS' TIME, YOU'LL BE WATCHING FOR THE WINNER OF THAT. YOU MAY FIGHT LIMA IF HE HOLDS THE MIDDLEWEIGHT BELT. >> SOME PEOPLE ARE TALKING LIKE HE'S NOT GOING TO COME BACK ONTO WELTERWEIGHT, IF HE DOESN'T THAT MEANS I HAVE TO MOVE OUT. >> DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY? DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT DEFEAT YOU HAVE TO GET REVENGE? >> NO, I GOT A LOT MORE TO MY LIFE THAN JUST MMA. BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO MMA, THAT'S THE ONE FIGHT I WANT. >> YOUR FIGHTS ARE ALWAYS FANTASTIC AND FASCINATING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MICHAEL PAGE, CONGRATULATIONS. >> THE EIFFEL TOWER, IT IS NIGHTTIME IN PARIS AND THEY ARE JUST REELING AROUND THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE. A GREAT DAY, A GREAT NIGHT HIM A GREAT DATE FOR THE SPORT OF MMA INSIDE THE ACCOR ARENA AS WE CONTINUE HERE ON THE BELLATOR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WBC IPLAYER WITH SOME GREAT MATCHUPS INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. WHEN I SAY GREAT ONES, I AM NOT GETTING. DON'T FORGET, LATER ON WE HAVE THE FIGHT THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, THE ONE YOU SEE IN THE BACKGROUND. KONGO AND JOHNSON, THAT WILL BE A BATTLE THAT WILL BE A REMATCH THAT TIM JOHNSON WOULD LIKE TO GET A LITTLE REDEMPTION, THAT COMES YOUR WAY A LITTLE LATER AFTER A HANDFUL OF FIGHTS THAT BEGIN AT ONE: 45 IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. AS WE HAVE CLARK REPRESENTING SPG IRELAND. HIS OPPONENT IS THE SHOW. FIGHTING OUT OF PARIS, FRANCE. >> COMING TO THE CAGE FROM IRELAND, KIERAN CLARKE. AS WE GET SET FOR HEARING CLARKE, YOU SAID IT'S A VERY TOUGH ONE TO CALL. WE'LL GET INTO IT MORE WHEN JEAN N'DOYE MAKES HIS WAY FOR HIS BELLATOR DEBUT, HE HASN'T FOUGHT IN SEVEN YEARS. SPEAK TO HE'S FIGHTING A GUY WHO RIGHT NOW IS DOING REALLY WELL A PROFESSIONAL, HE'S 2-0, HE'S LOOKED OUTSTANDING. WHEN ALL THE WAY TO A UNANIMOUS DECISION VICTORY IN HIS SECOND FIGHT, HE IS FEELING GOOD ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING. WORKING OUT WITH REALLY GOOD GUYS, HE'S GOT TOUGH GUYS COME HE'S ALWAYS GOT TO GRIND AGAINST. WE KNOW WHAT CIARAN CLARKE HAS BEEN DOING, WE KNOW HE'S GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. THE REAL QUESTION IS, IS JEAN N'DOYE, HE HASN'T FOUGHT IN A LONG TIME AND I'M TELLING YOU, HE WAS A REALLY GOOD FIGHTER. I REMEMBER HIM BACK IN THE DAY AND I WATCHED HIM AGAIN, HE'S GOT THE TOOLS BUT ARE THOSE TOOLS STILL PRESENT? >> Mike: IRON SHARPENS IRON, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME. YOU TALK ABOUT SPG IRELAND, PROBABLY REPRESENTING IRELAND IT IS CIARAN CLARKE LOOKING TO MOVE TO 3-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. HE ALREADY IS 2-0 WITH BOTH OF HIS WINS IN DUBLIN, BOTH AS A BELLATOR FIGHTER. >> John: CIARAN CLARKE HAD AN EXTENSIVE, HE WANTED TO BE THE WORLD CHAMPION AMATEUR. HE WENT TO THAT TOURNAMENT TWICE, HE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. DID WELL IN IT, CAME TO THE FINALS, BUT NOW AS A PROFESSIONAL HE HAS REALLY HIT HIS STRIDE. HE IS FIGHTING SMART, HE'S FIGHTING WELL, HE IS PUTTING THE FIGHT WHERE HE WANTS. NOT OVEREXTENDING IT, HE'S TAKING HIS TIME, HE'S FIGHTING HIS PLACES. A BEAUTIFUL JOKE WE ARE SEEING RIGHT THERE, WHAT YOU ARE SEEING OUT OF HIM IS A GUY WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL IS REALLY LEARNING HOW TO BE THAT FIGHTER THAT GIVES GUYS TROUBLE NO MATTER WHERE THE FIGHT IS AT. 25-YEAR-OLD CIARAN CLARKE. AND NOW COMING TO THE CAGE FROM FRANCE, JEAN N'DOYE! >> Mike: BORN IN SENEGAL, FIGHTING OUT OF PARIS. HE MOVED TO FRANCE AT AROUND AGE FOUR OR FIVE, GREW UP IN THE 18TH DISTRICT OF PARIS. JEAN N'DOYE HAS BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN OF HIS EIGHT PROFESSIONAL VICTORIES, HIS LAST FIGHT 2,542 DAYS AGO, SIX YEARS, 11 MONTHS. >> John: LOOK AT THE GUY WHO STARTED HIS CAREER BACK IN 2008, 12 YEARS AGO. IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S AN OLD GUY COME HE'S NOT OLD. HE'S 33 YEARS OF AGE AND SO HE WAS YOUNG IN HIS CAREER, HE'S DOING GREAT, HIS ONLY LOSS WAS A SPLIT DECISION LOSS IN A FIGHT A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WON. SO HE COULD BE UNDEFEATED AT THIS MOMENT, JUST DECIDED YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM MMA AND NOW HE IS BACK. HE SAYS HE HAS BEEN TRAINING FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. THE SKILLS HE BRINGS NOW ARE BETTER THAN WHAT HE HAD IN THE PAST, WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. >> Mike: HE DID SAY HE HAD TO REBUILD EVERYTHING, BUT HE'S WELL SURROUNDED AND HE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE READY FOR A MIXED MARTIAL ARTS CONTEST. AND LIVING IN FRANCE SINCE A VERY YOUNG AGE, THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT FOR JEAN N'DOYE. OUR FIRST MATCH APPEAR ON THE BELLATOR YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AS WE CONTINUE OUR COVERAGE ON THE BBC IPLAYER. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT. CIARAN CLARKE UNBEATEN IN HIS YOUNG PROFESSIONAL CAREER, TO WIN TO REACH FOR PARIS, FRANCE, IS THE SHOW. HE HAS THE EXPERIENCE ADVANTAGE BUT AS JOHN AND I TALKED ABOUT, HE HAS NOT FOUGHT IN A VERY LONG TIME. WITH THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTIONS, HERE'S CRAIG STEPHEN. >> GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BONJOUR, AND A VERY WARM WELCOME TO OUR VIEWERS JOINING US AROUND THE WORLD ON BELLATOR'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND BBC IPLAYER. BELLATOR MMA CONTINUES WITH THE BONUS COVERAGE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE ACCOR ARENA HERE IN PARIS, FRANCE. SO THEY SAY IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING, AND BELLATOR MMA WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FRENCH BOXING FEDERATION AND FRENCH MMA FEDERATION FOR THE HONOR OF BEING THE FIRST MAJOR MMA EVENT RECOGNIZED IN FRANCE. AND THANK YOU TO THE MINISTER OF SPORTS FOR FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS SPORT LEGAL IN FRANCE. THIS IS THREE FIVE MINUTE ROUNDS IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. INTRODUCING FIRST IN THE BLUE CORNER, STANDING 5'8" AND WEIGHING IN AT 145 POUNDS. HIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD SO FAR PERFECT. 2-0. FROM IRELAND FIGHTING OUT OF DUBLIN, CIARAN CLARKE! AND STANDING ACROSS BELLATOR CAGE IN THE RED CORNER, AT 5'9" AND ALSO WEIGHING IN AT 145 POUNDS EVEN, HIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD EIGHT WINS, ONLY ONE DEFEAT. HE WAS BORN IN SENEGAL, HE FIGHTS OUT OF PARIS, FRANCE, HE IS -- AND WE ARE UNDERWAY. RED GLOVES FOR JOHN AND TOY. BLUE GLOVES FOR CIARAN CLARKE. A PURPLE BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU UNDER JOHN CAVANAUGH. >> IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR CLARKE TO DECIDE I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS FIGHT TO THE GROUND, RIGHT AWAY HE MAKES THAT DECISION. >> Mike: HIS BELLATOR DEBUT WAS A VICTORY BY REAR NAKED CHOKE, HE WENT THE DISTANCE IN HIS FIGHT BACK IN FEBRUARY AGAINST JAMIE FOLDING. ONE MIGHT BUY UNANIMOUS DECISION, LOOKING TO MAKE QUICK WORK OF HIS OPPONENT HERE. ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU'LL SEE OUT OF GUYS IN IRELAND, PEOPLE GET INTO THIS THING ABOUT WHO YOU ARE TRAINED BY. WHEN IT COMES TO JIU-JITSU, THE SUBMISSION GAME ON THE GROUND, BUT THE GUYS THAT ARE OUT OF SPG ON THE GROUND, A TON OF THEM ARE JUST SO PROFICIENT AT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL A FIGHTER, BRING HIM DOWN AND WORK TOWARD THAT SUBMISSION VICTORY. >> Mike: JAMES GALLAGHER WOULD BE A GREAT EXAMPLE. >> John: WHEN THE FIGHT HITS THE GROUND, NO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THAT GUY IS GOING TO SINK. >> Mike: N'DOYE DOING A NICE JOB GETTING BACK UP, JUST MISSED THAT NEED TO THE BODY. KIERAN CLARK'S BROTHER DARRELL, A FAMILY OF FIGHTERS. NICE HAD POSITION, UP AGAINST N'DOYE'S NECK AND JAW. TRYING TO RUN THE PIPE ON THAT SINGLE, IF YOU CAN GET HIS HANDS TOGETHER A NICE JOB OF TRANSITIONING, LOOKING FOR MORE THAN JUST TO SIT THERE AND HOLD ONTO THE LEG. YOU SEE N'DOYE TRYING TO CONTROL THAT ARM. THAT GROUP IS WHAT GOT THEM BACK UP, YOU SAW THAT WAS A NICE TAKEDOWN AND BECAUSE HE HAD THAT GROUP, HE WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM GET BACK TO HIS FEET. NICE JOB BY N'DOYE. A LOT OF PRESSURE HERE FROM CLARKE. THOSE ELBOWS INSIDE ARE A BIG PART OF MAKING SOMEONE NOT WANT TO COME BACK TO THIS POSITION, ANY TIME N'DOYE GETS A CHANCE TO HIT THAT SHOT, BIG ELBOW, HE NEEDS TO DO IT. RABBIT PUNCHES BY CLARKE VERY HEAVY, VERY PERSISTENT. ROUND NUMBER ONE. SPG IRELAND'S CIARAN CLARKE IN THE BLUE GLOVES, JEAN N'DOYE IN THE RED GLOVES. >> John: WE HAVE SEEN HE CAN DO THIS FOR THREE ROUNDS, EASILY. HE'S GOT A BIG GAS TANK, HE JUST KEEPS GRINDING. WHEN HE WAS ASSESSING HIS MOST RECENT VICTORY HE SAID HE WAS ABLE TO USE THE CARDIO THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO. AND BREAK HIS OPPONENT. >> John: A LITTLE MISTAKE BY N'DOYE, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE SAW BUT HE WENT TO PUNCH WITH THAT RIGHT HAND WHICH TOOK AWAY HIS POST AND ALLOWED CLARKE TO ACTUALLY LACE THAT ARM, GO TO A HANDCUFF ON ONE SIDE. NOW HE'S GOING TO BE IN POSITION WHERE EITHER CLARKE IS GOING TO TAKE HIS BACK OR HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO PUT HIS BACK DOWN TO THIS CANVAS. LITTLE TINY THINGS MAKE BIG DIFFERENCES IN THE FIGHT. >> Mike: BIG JOHN REFERRED TO THE EXTENSIVE AMATEUR CAREER OF CLARKE. HOW ABOUT 13 WINS, 11 SETBACKS? THAT IS A TON OF AMATEUR FIGHTS AS HE WORKS FROM THE TURF. >> John: IT IS A TON OF AMATEUR FIGHTS, WE SEE IT IN BOXING. IT'S SO KEY THAT A FIGHTER IS SMART ENOUGH TO SAY I'M GOING TO STAY IN THE AMATEURS, LET ME DO THE THINGS I NEED TO GET BETTER, LET ME EXPERIENCE, LET ME GO THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS SO WHEN I TURN PRO, I'M 0-0. >> Mike: YOU ARE JUST ON FIRE RIGHT NOW. >> John: I'VE PUT TOO MUCH SACRIFICE INTO THIS, I OWE IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE STUCK BY ME OVER THE YEARS, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD. THIS IS MY LIFE EVER SINCE THAT TIME AND IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER, AND A GOOD START FOR CLARKE. >> BACK IN 2013 WAS THE LAST TIME JEAN N'DOYE BATTLED INSIDE A CAGE, IN THE CAGE WARRIORS FIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW HE COMES OUT IN THE SECOND ROUND, IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT ALL THAT TIME OFF WAS A FRUSTRATING ROUND FOR HIM. HE HAD A GUY THAT WAS JUST ON HIM, YOU CAN'T LET THAT GET TO YOU. YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND DO THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL. >> Mike: ROUND 2. CLARKE COMES OUT SOUTHPAW, LOOKING FOR THE TAKEDOWN IMMEDIATELY AS HE DID IN ROUND 1. >> John: GOES TO THAT SINGLE LEG, HE SHOULD BE RAISING THAT HEAD UP INTO THE DRAW A LINE. TRYING TO RUN THE PIPE ON IT, TAKING BIG SHOTS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT N'DOYE WANTS TO DO, MAKE HIM PAY FOR COMING INSIDE AND TRYING TO GET THAT TAKEDOWN. CLARKE STILL TENACIOUS WITH IT, DOESN'T MATTER, I'M JUST GOING TO DO WHAT I DO. HE'S GOT THE LEG UP IN THE AIR, WITH THE POST OF THAT RIGHT ARM. THAT'S WHAT'S KEEPING N'DOYE IN POSITION RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE CLARKE TRYING TO REACH, HE WANTS THAT ARM. HE KNOWS IF I GET A HOLD OF THAT ARM I CAN BRING THEM STRAIGHT TO HIS BACK. TRYING TO WORK HIS WAY TO IT BY BREAKING DOWN JEAN N'DOYE, HE'S GOT IT. >> John: TRIED TO FEED THAT TO HIS RIGHT ARM. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. YOU'VE GOT A CHOICE. I DON'T WANT TO TURN MY BACK IN THIS POSITION, I END UP PUTTING MY BACK TO THE GROUND. I'M GOING TO TRY TO WORK, WORK MY WAY OUT OF THIS POSITION.>> : AS YOU SAID, CLARKE HAS EXCELLENT GAS TANK, HIS CARDIO HAS NEVER BEEN IN QUESTION ESPECIALLY PUT ON DISPLAY IN HIS LAST FIGHT BACK IN FEBRUARY IN DUBLIN. >> John: THAT'S EXACTLY IT, YOU LOOK AT ALL THE ENERGY AND ALL THE OUTPUT THAT HE HAD DID NOT FIGHT, BY THE END OF IT HE WAS STILL FRESH SO IT'S TELLING YOU HE CAN DO THIS ALL DAY LONG. CIARAN TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE'S BEEN ON THE BIG STAGE AND SO FAR HE'S BEEN THE MAN IN THE DOMINANT POSITION AS WE APPROACH THE MIDWAY POINT OF 20 SECONDS AWAY. A ROUND NUMBER TWO THIS FEATHERWEIGHT MATCHUP. >> John: TAKING THE BACK, HE WENT TO THAT HANDCUFF. HOLD THAT ARM BACK AND NOW REACH HIS LEG OVER THE TOP, NOW HE'S IN POSITION. YOU SEE N'DOYE TRYING TO GET HIS KNEE INSIDE SO HE CAN GET BACK TO THE HALF GUARD. EVERYTHING YOU SEE GOING ON HERE, THIS IS JUST A CHESS GAME. BOTH GUYS JUST PUTTING LITTLE PIECES OUT AND PUTTING A PAWN OUT, SEEING IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. TRYING TO PUSH IT AND GET OFFENSIVE COME OF THE OTHER GUY FIGHTING BACK. GOOD DEFENSE BY N'DOYE DOING THE RIGHT THING TO STAY SAFE BUT THIS IS JUST HUMAN CHESS, PHYSICAL CHESS WITH THEIR BODIES. YOU HEAR JOHN CAVANAUGH SAYING GREAT JOB WITH THE BOTTOM HAND, ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT LEFT LEG OF N'DOYE, YOU SEE THAT CLARKE IS RAISING IT UP OFF THE GROUND WHICH MAKES IT SO HE CANNOT GET UP. LITTLE TINY THINGS THAT ARE BEING DONE BY BOTH GUYS, CLARKE JUST BEING SO SYSTEMATIC AND WHAT HE'S DOING. GETTING TO GOOD POSITIONS, A BUTTERFLY GUARD NOW BY N'DOYE. CIARAN CLARKE IS VERY PATIENT. >> John: THAT COMES FROM -- ABSOLUTELY, IT COMES FROM ALL OF THAT AMATEUR EXPERIENCE. YES, HE'S ONLY TO HAVE HIS EAR AS A PROFESSIONAL BUT HE'S GOT ALL THOSE FLIGHTS HE'S LEARNED HOW TO BE PATIENT. IT IS INVALUABLE. 24 AMATEUR FIGHTS. LOOKING TO MOVE TO 3-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. N'DOYE HAS BEEN IN DEFENSIVE MODE THIS ENTIRE FIGHT. >> John: HERE HE GOES, TRYING TO WORK HIS WAY, HE'S GOT BASICALLY WHAT WE CALL A QUARTER GUARD. NOW BACK TO THE HALF. I'D LIKE TO SEE CLARKE OPEN UP A LITTLE BIT MORE, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GIVE A LITTLE SPACE. THAT SPACE CAN EQUAL ESCAPE BUT YOU HAVE TO GO FOR IT IN TIMES. >> Mike: THIRD AND FINAL ROUND, N'DOYE IN THE RED GLOVES, CLARKE IN THE BLUE GLOVES. I CAN SCORE THIS ONE, JOHN. 10-9, CIARAN CLARKE. >> John: WHAT I JUST THOUGHT OF HIM WAS ONE OF THE THINGS IF I WAS IN HIS CORNER I WOULD'VE TALKED ABOUT, YOU NEED TO -- YOU KNOW HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOU SO LET'S SET HIM UP, JOB, LOOK FOR THAT UPPERCUT AND LOOK FOR A KNEE INSIDE AS HE MAKES THAT EDGE. YOU SAW HIM TRY FOR THAT UPPERCUT, RIGHT NOW CLARKE BRINGING HIM RIGHT BACK TO WHERE HE'S HAD HIM THIS ENTIRE FIGHT COME UP AGAINST THE CAGE WORKING FOR THE TAKEDOWN. >> Mike: WHY DO I FEEL THAT IF JOSH WERE WITH US RIGHT NOW HE WOULD TRY TO COUNTER MY SCORE? BE TO JUST BECAUSE HE'S JOSH THOMPSON. >> Mike: WE LOVE YOU, JOSH. NOTHING BUT LOVE, BROTHER. HAD OUR FOUR FIGHTS ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK, ALSO ON SPEED 23. WHICH IS CONTINUING HERE, WE'VE MOVED TO THE BELLATOR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND STILL TO COME, CHEICK KONGO'S BIGGEST MOMENT OF HIS FIGHTING CAREER, A BATTLE FINALLY IN HIS HOMETOWN OF PARIS, FRANCE. >> John: N'DOYE LIVING ON THAT WIZARD, KEEPING THEM ALIVE RIGHT NOW IN THIS POSITION. YOU SEE CLARKE TRY TO PUSH THEM OVER, LITTLE FOOT SWEEPS, NOW HE'S GOT TO TRIANGLE THE BODY. THIS IS THE WORST POSITION WE'VE SEEN N'DOYE IN THIS FIGHT, AS FAR AS THERE'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT HE CAN DO OFFENSIVELY. HE'S A STOCK, HE HAS TO FIGURE OUT I NEED TO TURN WITHIN THIS, HE'S GOT THE FOOT IN THE RIGHT POSITION. BUT HE NEEDS TO TRY TO TURN HIS BODY INSIDE OF THIS RIGHT NOW. TRY TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE LEFT FOOT OF CLARKE, LOOKING TO SYSTEMATICALLY BREAK ON HIS OPPONENTS. THOSE BODY SHOTS ARE STARTING TO DO JUST THAT. >> John: HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP THAT FROM OCCURRING, BUT KEEPING IT FROM OCCURRING HE'S GETTING HIT WITH SHOTS AND NOT TAKING CARE OF THE BODY TRIANGLE THAT'S GOT HIM STUCK RIGHT NOW. >> Mike: AS YOU LOOK AT THE KNEES OF CIARAN CLARKE, YOU CAN TELL THIS DUDE IS A GRAPPLER. SPEAK TO THE STRAWBERRIES, THEY DO OCCUR. >> Mike: NICE JOB TRANSITIONING, SOME PEOPLE WOULD GO WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT BUT HE FEELS LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT, UNCOMFORTABLE IN EITHER THAT OR THIS HALF GUARD. HE'S DONE SO WELL THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT FROM THAT HALF GUARD POSITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO HIM RIGHT NOW. TRY TO BREAK YOU DOWN MORE AND GET BACK TO THAT POSITION. BIG RIGHT HAND. >> Mike: PROFESSIONAL SINCE 2008, JEAN N'DOYE HAS TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ALL CIARAN CLARKE. >> John: HE'S TAKING CHANCES, TRYING TO GET OUT FROM CLARKE, IT'S JUST THAT CLARKE IS ABLE TO TAKE HIS BACK AND NOW HE'S IN ANOTHER BAD POSITION. CAN HE GET THE FINISH HERE? GOT THE BODY LOCKED. LOOKING TO BREAK THEM DOWN, GET THE CHOKE. >> John: TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT CANNOT TAKE EFFECT. BIT OF A FACE CRANK NOW. THAT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD. IT'S A MATTER OF PUTTING UP WITH PAIN. TOTAL DOMINATION FOR KIERAN CLARK. >> John: IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES IT HARD IN MMA, WHEN SOMEONE TAKES THEIR HAND AND PUTS HER HAND ON THE ARM AGAINST THAT SLEEVE AREA OF THE GLOVE, IT MAKES IT SO IT'S E A STOPPER, IT'S HARD TO GET YOUR HAND FREE. SEE N'DOYE'S MOUTHPIECES OUT NOW. HE'S ABLE TO TURN POSITION, HE IS IN THE GUARD. CLARKE GOING FOR AN ARMED GUARD COME OUT, N'DOYE LOOKING FOR THE CHOKE. TEN SECONDS, COULD HE GET IT? >> Mike: IT'S NOT THERE. GOOD EFFORT LATE EFFORT LATE. >> John: ABSOLUTELY GOT A LOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE END. >> Mike: IT WAS THE MOUTHPIECE THAT WAS GETTING IN THE WAY YOU'D SPEAK YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN. AFTER SEVEN YEARS AWAY FROM MMA, JEAN N'DOYE WAS IN BAD POSITIONS FOR 14.5 MINUTES. BUT HE SHOWED HE STILL GOT THAT COMPETITIVE SPIRIT. >> John: HE HAS HEART, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. SOME OF THESE WERE BAD POSITIONS, BUT HE GOES FROM THIS POSITION CONTROLLING THAT ARM TO KEEP THAT JOKE FROM OCCURRING. MOUTHPIECE OUT NOW, THEN HE TURNS. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE HIM TRY TO DO IN THAT FIRST TIME YOU SAW CLARKE GET THE BODY TRIANGLE. HE GETS IT BACK, NOW HE'S IN GUARD. YOU SEE CLARKE MOVING POSITION, NOW GOING OUT, GOES FOR THE CHOKE. A NECK CRANK CHOKE SITUATION BUT NEVER HAD THE POSITION TO MAKE AN EFFECT. THE 25-YEAR-OLD IRISHMAN WILL MOVE TO 3-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL. OUT OF COUNTY LOWE'S IRELAND GOING THE DISTANCE ONCE AGAIN AND A STRONG TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, SHOWS THAT HE PUTS IN THE WORK AND STAYS IN GREAT SHA. HIS CARDIO WAS OUTSTANDING. SPEAK TO IT SO IMPRESSIVE WHEN A GUY GOES INTO THE CAGE AND JUST IMPLEMENTS HIS GAME. DOESN'T TRY TO DO ANYTHING THAT IS OUTSIDE THE NORM FOR HIM, BIG CHANCES, BE SMART, GO AFTER THE WIN YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET IT. >> Mike: JUDGES RENDERING THEIR DECISION. IT IS IN, AND WE WILL GET IT FROM DUDE MIKE ONCE AGAIN TO CRAIG STEPHEN. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE WE GO TO OUR JUDGES. 30-26, BOTH JUDGES 30-27. ALL THREE JUDGES FOR THE WINTER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, FROM IRELAND CIARAN CLARKE! >> Mike: CIARAN CLARKE BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, ALL THREE OF THOSE WINS AS I MENTIONED HAVE COME INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE, WASN'T ABLE TO FINISH. THERE IS HIS COACH JOHN CAVANAUGH, AND. >> WHAT DID IT MEAN TONIGHT TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAINST JEAN N'DOYE IN FRONT OF A CROWD FINALLY? >> I'M VERY CHUFFED TO GET A WIN, SO HAPPY TO BE FIGHTING AT BELLATOR. THESE ARE SAD TIMES, THANKS SO MUCH EVERYBODY FOR WATCHING. >> YOUR YOUNG MAN MAKING YOUR WAY IN THE SPORT. LIKE YOU SAY, THE GROWTH OF THE SPORT IN EUROPE MUST BE LIGHTING A FIRE UNDER YOU. >> BIG TIME FROM 100%. I'M READY FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE, I WILL FIGHT ANYBODY YOU PUT IN FRONT OF ME. >> WHO DO YOU FANCY NEXT? >> I CAN'T SAY NO, THAT'S MY PROBLEM. >> TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TO THE MAX CROWD ENJOYING THE GROUND GAME. >> MY FRIEND TOOK TWO WEEKS OFF WORK TO COME OVER, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR COMING OUT. I'M SO HAPPY TO BE FIGHTING HERE. THANKS VERY MUCH, PARIS. >> CIARAN CLARKE, MANY CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU GUYS! >> NICELY DONE, AND COACHED BY JOHN CAVANAUGH. >> John: MAYBE WHEN HE'S IN PARIS, HE IS JEAN. >> Mike: MERCI BEAUCOUP. CLARKE IS 3-0, APPRECIATIVE OF ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BATTLE HERE IN BELLATOR, AND HE DOES SO IMPRESSIVELY. LET'S GET IT TO GARETH DAVIES AND BELLATOR ZONE LEAH McCOURT, 3-0 IN HER BELLATOR CAREER. WELCOME BACK, A HISTORIC NIGHT IN PARIS. IT'S BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SO FAR, A CELEBRATION OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE CAPITAL OF FRANCE. THE ONE AND ONLY MS. LEAH McCOURT, BELLATOR FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHTER. WE'VE SEEN SOME TERRIFIC ACTION SO FAR TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU, AT SOME GREAT FIRST-TIME FINISHES AND THAT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE BY CIARAN. >> WE SAW A TERRIFIC FIGHT TONIGHT, A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF FIGHT BETWEEN MICHAEL VENOM PAGE AND ROSS EASTON. MICHAEL "VENOM" PAGE COMPLAINING TO ME AFTERWARDS HE DIDN'T LIKE THE CANVAS, BUT ROSS HOUSTON LOOKED VERY VERY DEFENSIVELY MINDED AND VERY CLEVER IN THIS FIGHT. HE STRETCHED MICHAEL PAGE TONIGHT. >> ROSS -- >> CARREON, LEAH. >> WE SAW A DIFFERENT KIND OF GAME FROM MICHAEL VENOM PAGE TONIGHT. IT WAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF FIGHT FOR HIM. THE POINT BEING, HE'S STILL WINNING AND STILL AFTER DOUGLAS LIMA. COMING UP NEXT, WE HAVE ANOTHER FRENCH WINTER SO FAR BUT WE ARE GUARANTEED A FRENCH WINTER. HERE WE GO. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE TWO GO FRENCH FIGHTERS COMING TO THE CAGE. PLEASE WELCOME FIRST FROM PARIS, LUCIE BERTAUD. LUCIE BERTAUD. BORN AND RAISED IN PARIS. HER NICKNAME "FIREBALL." EVERY MEMBER OF SBG IRELAND IS NOW GOING TO PICK ON THE COACH, IT'S MY FAULT. LUCIE BERTAUD, THIS GIRL CAN BOX. I AM TELLING YOU, THIS LADY IS GOOD WITH HER HANDS. SHE'S FAST, SHE MOVES WELL, SHE HAS VERY FLUID MOVEMENT, SHE CONTROLS DISTANCE WELL, SHE DOES WHAT WE THOUGHT. IT'S THE QUESTION OF HAS HER GROUND GAME COME UP TO THE LEVEL OF HER STAND-UP GAME? FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ON A FIGHTER WHO IS FRENCH THAT HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH A 10-4 RECORD. LUCY A MEMBER OF THE 2012 FRENCH OLYMPIC BOXING SQUAD, HAS TRAINED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, SHE'S GOOD FRIENDS WITH VALERIE WHO IS COMING OFF A GREAT VICTORY. SHE TRIED AMERICAN FOOTBALL AFTER HER CAREER AS A BOXER, ON THE FIRST FEMALE TEAM IN FRANCE AS A LINEBACKER AND RUNNING BACK. SHE'S A MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST HERE TODAY. AND NOW MAGUY BERCHEL. SO YOU'VE GOT THE YOUNG LADY NICKNAME FIREBALL BECAUSE OF HER EXPLOSIVE TEMPER AGAINST FRANCIS TOP RANKED FEMALE FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHTER. THE FOUR-TIME FRENCH CHAMPION MAGUY BERCHEL. >> John: MAGUY BERCHEL HAS BEEN IN THE MMA GAME FOR A WHILE, I'VE WATCHED HER FIGHT ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. SHE IS TOUGH, SHE DOES NOT GIVE IN TO ANY SUBMISSIONS. SHE WILL FIGHT HER WAY OUT OF ANYTHING. THIS LADY BRINGS A WELL-ROUNDED GAME. HER STAND-UP IS GOOD, HER GROUND IS GOOD, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE EXCEPTIONAL IN EITHER AREA TO BE THE BETTER FIGHTER. SHE IS THE BEST FRENCH FEMALE FIGHTER THAT WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR. SHE SAID AFTER 15 FIGHTS, I FINALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE IN ONE OF THE MAJOR ORGANIZATIONS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD, THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR YEARS. I WANT TO PROVE I'M STILL A HUGE FACTOR IN THIS MMA GAME. ALL MY FANS KNOW WHAT SACRIFICES I HAVE MADE, THEY KNOW WHO I AM. THEY MAKE ME HAPPY, AND I WANT TO THANK THEM. LOVE TO THANK THEM WITH A BIG VICTORY. >> John: I THINK SHE'S GOING TO GET THAT BIG VICTORY, SHE NEEDS TO PUT AWAY THE EGO BECAUSE SHE DOES LIKE TO PUT LUCIE ON THE CANVAS WHERE YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. FLYWEIGHT MATCHUP. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS BATTLE BETWEEN TWO NATIVES OF FRANCE. MAGUY BERCHEL FOUR YEARS YOUNGER THAN HER OPPONENT, THE OUTSTANDING BOXER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. AND ONCE AGAIN WITH THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION, CRAIG STEPHEN. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE WE CONTINUE WITH BELLATOR MMA BONUS COVERAGE FROM THE HERO SERIES, THIS IS THREE FIVE MINUTE ROUNDS IN THE FLYWEIGHT DIVISION. INTRODUCING FIRST IN THE BLUE CORNER, AT 5'6" AND WEIGHING IN AT 125.8 POUNDS, HER PROFESSIONAL RECORD TWO WINS, TWO DEFEATS. FIGHTING AT PARIS, FRANCE, LUCIE "FIREBALL" BERTAUD. AND ACROSS THE BELLATOR CAGE IN THE RED CORNER, STANDING 5'5" AND 125.4 POUNDS. HER PROFESSIONAL RECORD TEN WINS, FOR DEFEATS AND ONE DRAW WITH SIX WINS INSIDE THE SCHEDULE DISTANCE. FIGHTING OUT OF FRANCE, MONTE BEER IN THE MAGUY BERCHEL. AND OUR REFEREE TODD ANDERSON. >> Mike: THE FEMALES BATTLING AT FLYWEIGHT. LUCIE BERTAUD AND MAGUY BERCHEL. HERE WE GO! QUICKLY COMING TO THE CENTER OF THE CAGE, MAGUY BERCHEL IN THE RED GLOVES. LONG RIGHT HAND FROM LUCIE BERTAUD IN THE BLUE. >> John: I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT BERTAUD COMES OUT, SHE GOES FOR THE TAKEDOWN, GETS IT AND NOW HAS BERTAUD ON HER BACK. THAT'S THE THING ABOUT MMA, YOU HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO. IT'S ARE YOU GOING TO BE THAT COMPLETE FIGHTER? MOST OF THE TIME I SEE LUCIE BERTAUD SHE IS A STAND UP FIGHTER BUT RIGHT AWAY, SHE GOES FOR THE TAKEDOWN AGAINST SOMEONE I THOUGHT HAD AN ADVANTAGE. >> Mike: SHE'S HAPPY TO STAY THERE. >> John: DOING SOME DAMAGE. BIG SHOTS. MICHELLE HAS THOSE HANDS ARE ON THE BODY. BOTH WOMEN HONORED TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE TO FIGHT HERE IN PARIS. LUCIE GOT THE WALK FIRST. YOU THINK ABOUT HOW COOL IT WOULD BE TO SAY I AM THE FIRST FEMALE TO GET A WIN AND MMA IN THE CITY OF PARIS. KIND OF COOL. >> Mike: VERY MUCH SO. NICE JOB BY LUCIE BERTAUD. DOUBLE UNDERS HERE, WE WILL SEE WHAT SHE CAN DO WITH IT. LET HER HANDS GO AND YOU SEE BERCHEL DIG FOR THAT UNDERHOOK, NOW BACK TO 50/50 POSITION. THIS IS THE TYPE OF FIGHT THAT MAGUY BERCHEL WANTS. THIS IS THE TYPE OF FIGHT THAT ACTUALLY BENEFITS BECKY MICHELLE THAT IT MAGUY BERCHEL, SHE HAS NOT GROUND GAME. SHE'S FEELING CONFIDENT THAT IF SHE GETS THE FIGHT TO THE GROUND, SHE'S GOING TO DO WELL THERE. SHE HAS TO KNOW SOMETHING THAT SHE FEELS GOOD ABOUT, FACING SOMEONE THAT HAS THAT MUCH EXPERIENCE AND HAS FOUGHT SO WELL ON THE GROUND BEFORE. >> John: SHE WENT OLD-SCHOOL. >> Mike: BACK TO MARCO. KING OF THE STREETS. BRINGING OUT THE FOOT STOPS AND EVERYONE WENT WHAT IS THAT? SPEAK TO THAT'S CALLED MY OPPONENTS FOOT IS CRUSHED, THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE BOXERS TO OVERCOME OUT OF FRANCE AGAINST FRANCIS TOP RANKED FEMALE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS IT'S AT FLYWEIGHT. >> Mike: LOOK AT THESE KNEES BY BERCHEL, SHE SHOWING I AM A MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, I WILL USE EVERY TOOL AVAILABLE. >> Mike: SHE HAS SPENT A TON OF TIME, A TON OF TIME AT AMERICAN TOP TEAM. WASN'T ABLE TO DO IT FOR THIS FIGHT WITH OBVIOUSLY THE PANDEMIC, BUT YOU TRAIN IN AMERICAN TOP TEAM, YOU'RE GOING TO TRAIN YOUR ENTIRE SKILL SET. >> John: TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE LADIES THAT ARE FIGHTING AT AMERICAN TOP TEAM. PEOPLE LIKE AMANDA NUNES, VALERIE, THERE'S JUST A TON OF TALENT IN THE FEMALE DIVISION FIGHTING OUT OF ATT. >> Mike: VALERIE LORETTA COMING OFF A WIN. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT LUCIE WENT OVER THERE TO TRAIN. BOTH WOMEN SHOWING THEIR STRENGTH HERE. BATTLING FOR POSITION. BACK AND FORTH ON THE FENCE HERE. YOU SEE BERCHEL ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET THESE TAKEDOWNS, I'M NOT SEEING BERCHEL DO THE SAME THING. SHE'S NEVER BEEN REALLY SEARCHING, NOW SHE'S SEARCHING FOR THE TAKEDOWN. FINAL 15 SECONDS OF ROUND 1. SHARP ELBOW. >> Mike: VERY NICE ELBOW OVER THE TOP. >> John: PUSHED AWAY, USE THAT MOMENTUM AGAINST HER OPPONENT. SNAPPED IT PRETTY STRONGLY. ♪ ♪ >> Mike: THAT WAS THE ELBOW RIGHT AT THE END OF THE ROUND, YOU SAW BERCHEL LAND ON BERTAUD, OVERALL THE BETTER STRIKING THROUGHOUT THE ROUND WAS PROBABLY BERTAUD BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THE JUDGES AND WHAT THEY SEE LAST, THEY ARE GOING TO HEAR THAT ELBOW, THEY ARE GOING TO SEE IT AND IT MIGHT REGISTER THAT WE HAD A LOT OF GRAPPLING IN THE CLINCH POSITION, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF STRIKING. THAT'S A REALLY CLOSE ROUND. THE BATTLE CONTINUES, ROUND 2. BERCHEL IN THE RED GLOVES, BERTAUD IN THE BLUE GLOVES. A GOOD COUNTER WITH THE RIGHT HAND. >> John: EXACTLY RIGHT, THAT WAS WELL DONE. THIS IS WHERE I THOUGHT THAT BERTAUD HAD THE ADVANTAGE, AND NOT STAND UP. SHE IS THE ONE THAT ONCE THIS FIGHT ON THE GROUND. NORMALLY WHEN A FIGHTER IS DOING SOMETHING AND BEING SUCCESSFUL THEY LIKE TO STICK WITH IT, SHE HAS A GAME PLAN AND SHE'S GOING RIGHT BACK TO HER GAME PLAN. >> Mike: LUCIE HAS STAYED BUSY IN ALL FORMS AND FASHION, USED TO BE A JOURNALIST WHEN SHE WAS ON THE NATIONAL TEAM OF BOXING, SHE SAID NO MEDIA REALLY PROMOTED FEMALE BOXING SO SHE DECIDED TO STUDY JOURNALISM IN ORDER TO BECOME THE CAMERA AND PROMOTE FIGHTERS LIKE YOURSELF. GOT A SPOT IN ONE OF THE TOP COLLEGES IN FRANCE. >> John: CAN'T GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT, DO IT YOURSELF. THAT WAS A REALLY NICE JOB WHEN SHE HIT THE GROUND, YOU SAW HER WHOLE BERCHEL'S HIPS AWAY FROM THE CAGE SO SHE COULDN'T USE THAT CAGE TO GET HERSELF BACK UP. >> Mike: SHE SAID SHE HAS DREAMED OF FIGHTING HERE INSIDE THE ACCOR ARENA HER ENTIRE LIFE, COMPARED IT TO A LOT OF THE GREAT BOXING MATCHES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA IN LAS VEGAS. ONCE AGAIN YOU SAW BERCHEL GOING TOWARDS THAT CAGE, AND BERTAUD PUSHES AWAY FROM IT, GETS MORE TO THE CENTER OF THE CAGE. BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE WEIGHT IT USED TO BE, HE WANTED TO DRIVE YOUR OPPONENT INTO THE CAGE, NOW MOST FIGHTERS ARE GOING TO PUSH AWAY FROM THE CAGE AND DO THEIR WORK TOWARD THE MIDDLE SO THEIR OPPONENTS CANNOT USE IT TO GET K UP. SHE DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST, NOT A BOXER, ESPECIALLY AS WE LOOK AT HER CONTINUING EVOLUTION ON THE GROUND. >> Mike: YOU CAN TELL SHE HAS WORKED ON HER GROUND GAME, SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S DOING. SHE'S GOT A GOOD BASE. SEE HOW HER LEGS ARE, AND HOW SHE IS ABLE TO CONTROL WITH THAT SHOULDER PRESSURE AND LAND THAT LEFT HAND. NICE MOVE, OUTSTANDING RIGHT AT THE MIDWAY POINT OF THIS FIGHT. NOW SHE'S GOT HER FEET UNDER THE HIPS OF BERCHEL, GOING BACK TO THE GRAPEVINE. LOOKING TOWARDS GRABBING THE ARM, SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING TOWARDS AN AMERICANA. BEING VERY HEAVY WITH HER HIPS. THAT GRAPEVINE, PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON BERCHEL, TRYING TO GET RID OF THE GRAPEVINE. IT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT, IT'S AFFECTING HER BREATHING. >> Mike: COULDN'T GET HER, ONCE AND TWICE. SPEAK TO WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT FIND, IS DIFFICULT TO USE, GET SOMEBODY UP AND OVER. YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THAT GRAPEVINE. YOU SEE HOW WITH THE RIGHT LEG IT'S THERE, SHE STARTING TO LAND GOOD SHOTS. 90 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK. ROUND NUMBER TWO, THREE ROUND FIGHT. GREAT POSITION HERE FOR LUCIE BERTAUD, BOTH WOMEN MAKING THEIR BELLATOR DEBUT HERE IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY OF FRANCE. BERTAUD JUST ALLOWING HER TO FLOAT UNDERNEATH, TRYING TO MOVE HER FEET, CAN'T GET IT DONE. BERTAUD JUST HOLDING ON NICE AND EASY, GOING FOR THAT KEY LOCKED, SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE ARM IN THE RIGHT POSITION. THAT'S SOMETHING SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE FOR, THIS IS A NICE ARM WORK. BERCHEL TRYING TO WORK HER WAY OUT OF IT. AND SHE'S SAFE, AT LEAST FOR NOW. 20 SECONDS. NICE TAKEDOWN BY BERTAUD. GOOD ROUND TO FOR LUCIE BERTAUD. THIS IS THAT TAKEDOWN, LUCIE BERTAUD TAKING HER TO THE GROUND. THERE WAS SOME GOOD STAND UP IN THE BEGINNING, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET A HOLD, TAKES HER DOWN AND DID REALLY NICE GROUND WORK. SWITCHING POSITIONS, SHE GOES FOR THIS ARM BAR HERE, SHE ACTUALLY HAS IT IN POSITION AT ONE POINT BUT SAW THE SLIP. SHE DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF THAT HAND, SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL HER ELBOW OUT, LAND A COUPLE OF GOOD HAMMER FISTS FROM THIS POSITION, YOU SAW LUCIE BERTAUD TURN IT BACK AND TRIED TO GET INTO TOP POSITION. 5 MINUTES REMAIN. RED GLOVES FOR BERCHEL, BLUE GLOVES FOR BERTAUD. ROUND 1, MAGGIE PURCELL MAY HAVE CAPTURED RIGHT AT THE END WITH THAT ELBOW. ROUND TO A GREAT ROUND FOR LUCIE BERTAUD. >> John: RIGHT NOW I PERSONALLY HAVE BERTAUD UP, SHE'S GOT GOOD STAND UP SKILLS. SHE CONTROLS THE DISTANCE, MOVES HER FEET SLIDER SELF, HAS GOOD POWER ON HER SHOTS. >> Mike: DUCKED UNDER NICELY. ALL THOSE YEARS OF WORKING HER HANDS IN A VERY HIGH LEVEL, AT AN OLYMPIC LEVEL. BEAUTIFUL LEAD LEFT UPPERCUT. >> John: I'M SURE THAT BERCHEL IS LIKE THIS IS NOT THE GIRL THAT I HAVE SEEN FIVE BEFORE, SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO STAY ON HER FEET AND I FIGURED IF I GOT IN THOSE SITUATIONS I WOULD BE THE BETTER FIGHTER. RIGHT NOW, BERTAUD HAS SHOWN THAT SHE'S NOT COMPLETE X MARTIAL ARTIST. SHE HAS FOUGHT WELL IN EVERY POSITION. LUCIE BERTAUD HAD A SHOW IN FRANCE CALLED FACE OF A FACE, THE GOAL WAS TO MAKE PEOPLE DISCOVER A NEW MARTIAL ART EACH AND EVERY MONTH. AND SHE DECIDED FOR THE LAST EPISODE TWO DEDICATED TO MMA AND PUT YOURSELF IN A REAL COMPETITION. THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS HERE IN FRANCE FOR THESE TWO YOUNG LADIES. >> John: YOU JUST SAW THAT POSITION SHE WAS UTILIZING SO WELL, TURNING BERCHEL'S HEAD INTO A POSITION WHERE SHE'S WEAK, SWEEP THE LAKE OUT, GETS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND AND NOW BACK IN POSITION. WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT SEE LUCIE BERTAUD LIGHT UP HER OPPONENT WITH SUPERIOR STRIKING, BUT SHE HAS DOMINATED HER OPPONENT WITH SOME SERIOUS GRAPPLING. >> John: SHE HAS DEFINITELY DOMINATED GRAPPLING, SHE'S LANDED SOME REALLY GOOD STRIKES ON HER FEET BUT SHE HAS SHOWED I KNOW WHERE I WANT TO BE, I'LL TAKE IT WHERE I WANT AND WHEN I DO, I WILL DO DAMAGE FROM THERE. THAT'S WHAT SHE'S DONE SO FAR. YOU HAVE THE CAGE HERE, IT CAN ALLOW BERCHEL TO USE IT TO TRY TO BUCK HER OFF, YOU NEED TO BE COGNIZANT OF WHERE YOU WERE AT. ROLL OFF, SIDE CONTROL, RIGHT NOW SHE'S SHOWING I CAN MAINTAIN THE POSITION AND I CAN STILL PUNCH. >> John: I'M GUESSING IF YOU DEFEAT FRANCE AS RANKED FEMALE FLYWEIGHT FIGHTER, YOU BECOME FRANCE'S TOP RANKED FEMALE FIGHTER. >> Mike: YOU ARE JUST A STONE GENIUS. SPEAK TO YOU IN ON THAT DECADES. BACK TO GRAPEVINE, SPACE 530 5:0 BERTAUD NEEDS TO GAIN POSTURE. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE GRAPEVINE, POSTURE UP AND BRING DOWN POWER. ELBOWS ARE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE THING YOU CAN LAND WHEN IT COMES TO THE AMOUNT POSITION. YOU HAVE ALL YOUR WEIGHT ON TOP, THE GRAVITY HELPS AND MAKES IT DEVASTATING. AND YOUR OPPONENT HAS NOWHERE TO GO. AND THEIR HEAD IS WHERE? IT'S ON THE CAMPUS, THERE IS NO CUSHION. SHE KEEPS LOOKING TOWARD THE AMERICANA BUT DOESN'T SET IT UP, SHE HAS TO FIGURE OUT, CONTROL THE HEAD WITH HER ARM AND MAKE IT WORK. HOPEFULLY SHE DOESN'T GO BACK TO IT THE SAME WAY SHE DID IN THE SECOND ROUND, WHICH IS HOW YOU SAW BERCHEL GET TO THE TOP POSITION. >> Mike: P FULL MOUNT AND ADDING IN THE GRAPEVINE AS YOU TALKED ABOUT, JUST SIMPLY OUTSTANDING TECHNIQUE. BIG SHOTS. LUCIE BERTAUD 20 SECONDS AWAY FROM BECOMING THE FIRST FEMALE TO WIN A PROFESSIONAL MMA FIGHT IN A BIG ORGANIZATION IN HER HOME COUNTRY. A TRUE DREAM COME TRUE. THEY GO THE DISTANCE! NOT QUITE THE FIGHT YOU EXPECTED TO SEE BUT A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE FOR FIREBALL. >> John: NOT THE FIGHT I EXPECTED IS ALL, BUT I WAS INSPECTING HER TO KEEP THIS FIGHT ON HER FEET AS MUCH AS SHE COULD. THAT WAS WHERE HER STRENGTH WAS AT. SHE PROVED ME WRONG. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THIS, A BEAUTIFUL RIGHT HAND, SHE HAS GOT REALLY GOOD TO STAND UP, BUT SHE ALSO DECIDES WHEN SHE TAKES TO THE GROUND. SHE'S GOT GOOD SHOTS AND GOOD BASIC POSITIONING, WHICH KEEPS HER OPPONENT DOWN. YOU SAW BERCHEL DOING ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET OUT, SHE WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET OUT IN THE THIRD ROUND. JUST BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE BY LUCIE BERTAUD. MAYBE IT'S THAT SBG TRAINING. >> Mike: JOHN CAVANAUGH. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE STATES AS YOU'VE DONE IN THE PAST, MAKING HER WAY OVER TO IRELAND DO SBG AND WORKING WITH CAVANAUGH IS GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME IMMENSELY, SHE PUT IT ON DISPLAY FOR THE WORLD FOR 15 MINUTES. THE OFFICIAL DECISION IS IN, AND ONCE AGAIN WE GIVE IT TO CRAIG STEPHEN. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FIGHT GOES THE DISTANCE INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. WE GO TO OUR JUDGES CAGE SIDE. JUDGE DOUG CROSBY 29-28, BOTH JUDGES 30-26, ALL IN FAVOR OF THE WINTER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION FROM PARIS, FRANCE, LUCIE OPEN BERTAUD. >> FIREWALL BECOMES THE FIRST, WHAT A GREAT MOMENT FOR THE 35-YEAR-OLD FORMER MEMBER OF THE FRENCH OLYMPIC BOXING SQUAD. THE VICTOR SET TO VISIT WITH GARETH. >> LUCIE BERTAUD, MANY, MANY CONGRATULATIONS. >> IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS PANDEMIC. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TRY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BE HERE, TO HAVE COACHED, WAS IT SO HARD TO BE HERE AND TO WE DID ALL THOSE THINGS, NOW YOU ARE HERE, YOU DESERVE THIS FREAKING WIN. [SPEAKING FRENCH] [SPEAKING FRENCH] [SPEAKING FRENCH] >> A BRIEF SUMMARY FOR OUR VIEWERS, YOU LOVE EVERYONE, YOU LOVE THE FRENCH PUBLIC, YOU LOVE BELLATOR, YOU LOVE SCOTT COKER, YOU LOVE EVERYBODY THAT CAMPAIGNS FOR MMA TO BE ABLE TO COME TO FRANCE. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF OBSTACLES AT THE MOMENT, WE ARE ALTOGETHER. [SPEAKING FRENCH] >> MANY CONGRATULATIONS LUCIE BERTAUD! >> I LOVE YOU! >> Mike: WHAT A GREAT YOUNG LADY, AND A MONUMENTAL MOMENT IN HER COMBAT CAREER. LUCIE BERTAUD BECOMES THE FIRST, FIREBALL WITH THE WIN OVER MAGUYBERCHEL INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE. LET'S CHECK BACK IN WITH GARETH AND LEAH. >> IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT WRONG OF ME NOT TO SPEAK FRENCH, WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE WE GOT A FRENCH WINNER IN FRANCE FINALLY. LUCIE BERTAUD, THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT MMA EVENT AND LUCIUS THE FIRST FRENCH WINNER. >> SUCH A STRONG PERFORMANCE, SHE'S FOUGHT TAYLOR, SO MUCH OF THESE AMATEUR RANKS AND SHE CAME OUT AND DOMINATED AND GOT IT DONE ON THE GROUND, SHE WAS STRONG, NEARLY DOMINATED EVERY ROUND. >> SHE WAS A VERY ELITE LEVEL AS A BOXER, SIX YEARS AGO AT THE AGE OF 29 SHE GOES TO THE WORLD AMATEUR MMA CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PITS HER WITS. NOW GOT GROUND GAME. SHE WASN'T SHY ABOUT SCRAPING THE BODIES ON THE CANVAS TONIGHT. >> NO, SHE WAS EXPLOSIVE. SHE WAS QUICK TO GET THE TAKEDOWN AS WELL, SHE WAS GETTING THOSE TAKEDOWNS TO DOMINATE ON THE GROUND. >> YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S A VERY, VERY EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR HER TONIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THAT. SHE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THEY SAID SHE COULDN'T BOX, SHE MADE IT. THEY SAID SHE COULDN'T BE A JOURNALIST, SHE'S A COMBAT SPORTS PRESENTER LIKE YOU ARE! AND THE OTHER THING NOW IS SHE'S A MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST WHO BECOMES THE FIRST FRENCH WINNER IN A MAJOR EVENT IN PARIS. HOW FAR CAN SHE GO AT THAT AGE IN THE FLYWEIGHT DIVISION? >> SHE LOOKED REALLY GOOD TONIGHT, I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED. THE FLYWEIGHT DIVISION IS STACKED BUT SHE'S GOT THE SKILLS, SHE'S GOT THE EXPERIENCE AND SHE SHOWED TONIGHT SHE HAS GROUND GAME AS WELL. SHE WAS REALLY DOMINANT IN THAT FIGHT. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE A FEATHERWEIGHT CONTEST WITH DOMINIQUE WOODING AND FABACARY DIATTA. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FIGHT OF THE NIGHT IN MY VIEW, LET'S GO. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, COMING TO THE CAGE FROM FRANCE, FABACARY DIATTA! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ JUST A FEW DAYS SHY OF HIS 24TH BIRTHDAY. FABACARY DIATTA, 8-0 AS A PROFESSIONAL MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ASKED. IT SET TO BATTLE INSIDE THE BELLATOR CAGE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME HERE IN FRANCE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. >> John: HE'S A GOOD ATHLETE, HE LOVES TO PICK UP HIS OPPONENT AND SLAMMED THEM TO THE GROUND. THAT IS ONE OF HIS TRADEMARKS IN ALL OF HIS FIGHTS, HE WILL GET INSIDE, GET HIS HANDS LOCKED AND WHEN HE DOES, HE ELEVATES AND HE BRINGS YOU DOWN WITH VELOCITY. HE'S FUN TO WATCH, HE COUNTER FIGHTS WELCOME HE GOT HARD LEG KICKS COME HE'S KIND OF LIKE MATT HUGHES IN THE WAY HE GOES T THINGS. HE WILL EITHER PUT YOU ON HIS SHOULDER, OR HE'LL GET THAT BODY LOCK AND SWING YOUR LEGS TO THE SIDE AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO FOR IT. >> Mike: MY POWER AND WRESTLING, HE SAID, ARE HIS ADVANTAGES IN THIS FIGHT AGAINST DOMINIQUE WOODING. A COMBINED 17-0 AS AN AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL, HE WOULD LOVE TO REMAIN PERFECT WITH A WIN OVER THE BLACK PANTHER. >> AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, COMING TO THE CAGE FROM ENGLAND, DOMINIQUE WOODING! ♪ ♪ 24-YEAR-OLD DOMINIQUE WOODING BEGAN HIS CAREER AT FLYWEIGHT, HIS FIRST FOUR PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS AT 125. HE'S BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH FROM 1:30 FIVE TO 145 SINCE THAT POINT. HIS BELLATOR DEBUT WAS AT 145, HIS FIGHT AT 35, HE'S BACK AT 45 HERE IN FRANCE. >> John: I HONESTLY THINK HE NEEDS TO STAY AT 45, THIS COMES INTO THE EFFECTIVE, WHAT DOES THAT WEIGHT CUT DUE TO YOU AND YOUR PERFORMANCE AND YOU CAN SEE WHEN HE'S IN THAT DIVISION HE TENDS TO BURN HIMSELF OUT A LITTLE BIT AND IF IT GOES LONG, HE LOSES SOME ENERGY. HE IS A VERY GOOD OVERALL FIGHTER, HE'S AN EXPLOSIVE ATHLETE WITH EXPLOSIVE POWER. AND HIS GROUND GAME HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE YEARS. HE IS THE FULL PACKAGE, HE'S FUN TO WATCH. >> Mike: HE SET A HAPPY FIGHTER IS A DANGEROUS FIGHTER, AND I'M REALLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN MY TRAINING AND MY LIFE OUTSIDE OF TRAINING. HE WILL BE THRILLED IF HE'S ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH A VICTORY WHICH WOULD BE HIS SECOND AS A BELLATOR FIGHTER. "THE BLACK PANTHER" WOODING. OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT. JOHN TALKED ABOUT THE RECORDS, 6-3 FOR WOODING, A PERFECT 8-0 FOR DIATTA. WOODING WILL HAVE A 2-INCH REACH ADVANTAGE, ONCE AGAIN WITH THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTIONS, CRAIG STEVENS. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FROM THE ACCOR ARENA AND PARIS, FRANCE, BELLATOR MMA CONTINUES WITH BONUS COVERAGE AND THIS IS THREE FIVE MINUTE ROUNDS IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. INTRODUCING FIRST IN THE BLUE CORNER, AT 5'9" AND WEIGHING IN AT 146 POUNDS, HIS RECORD SO FAR PERFECT. 8-0, FINDING OUT OF FRANCE, FABACARY DIATTA! IN THE RED CORNER, STANDING 5'9" AND WEIGHING IN AT 144.8 POUNDS, HIS PROFESSIONAL RECORD SIX WINS, THREE DEFEATS WITH ALL SIX WINS COMING BY KO. FIGHTING OUT OF LONDON, ENGLAND, HE IS THE BLACK PANTHER, DOMINIQUE WOODING! REFEREE FOR THIS ONE, MR. DANNENBERG LIOTTA. >> Mike: SIX PROFESSIONAL WINS BY KNOCKOUT, THREE CAME IN THE FIRST ROUND, TO GO IN THE SECOND, ONE IN THE THIRD. DOMINIQUE WOODING AND FABACARY DIATTA. HERE WE GO! RED GLOVES FOR WOODING, AND DIATTA IN THE BLUE GLOVES. NICE KICK. >> Mike: BEAUTIFUL KICK, THAT KICK RIGHT THERE HAS BEEN A DIFFERENCE MAKER IN OUR SPORT. IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T CATCH, IT'S TOO LOW TO CATCH. AND THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT OF HEAT, AND IT CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO FEEL YOUR FOOT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR FOOTWORK IS GONE. I DO HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR STYLE, IT'S A DEVASTATING KICK. >> Mike: A GOOD MATCHUP BETWEEN TWO EXPLOSIVE ATHLETES. WOODING A NATURAL SOUTHPAW WILL SWITCH HIS STANCE, AS MANY OF OUR FIGHTERS WILL DO SO. ORTHODOX STANDS FOR DIATTA. THERE'S THE SWITCH. WORKING IN THE CLINCH. THAT'S A GOOD CLINCH. >> John: VERY GOOD CLINCH, YOU SAW HOW HE IS ABLE TO CONTROL AND MOVE THE BODY WHERE HE WANTS. DOMINIQUE WOODING IS GOOD, MAN. I TOLD YOU, IS A 145, THIS IS HIS WEIGHT CLASS. HE IS STRONG HERE, HE'S STILL BIG AND HE'S SO FLUID AND SO EXPLOSIVE. JUST A BEAUTIFUL JOB RIGHT THERE. SNAPPING DIATTA HIS HEAD BACK. YOU SEE A LITTLE TRAP, NICE SNAPPING JOB BY DIATTA. >> Mike: WOODING GREW UP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LONDON IN EDMONTON, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ALBERTA, CANADA, VERSION. AGGRESSIVE WITH HIS HANDS EARLY, HE AND FABACARY DIATTA. LOCATE AGAIN. >> John: HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THAT WHEN HE CAN, YOU CAN SEE HE PUTS A LOT OF WEIGHT ON THAT FRONT LEG AT TIMES. AND WHEN THAT THING IS SET, AND YOU HIT THAT CALF, IT'S GOING TO DO DAMAGE. LIKE THE WAY DIATTA OPENED UP THERE, STARTING TO LOOK LIKE HE'S A LITTLE MORE RELAXED. HE WAS LOOKING A LITTLE TIGHT, THAT COULD BE A TIME HERE IN PARIS FIGHTING IN FRONT OF HIS COUNTRYMEN BUT HE'S STARTING TO LOOSEN UP A LITTLE BIT, ALL THE NERVES ARE GONE NOW, NOW IT'S JUST BUSINESS. >> Mike: HE SAID I'M A PASSIONATE FIGHTER WHO LOVES THE FEELING OF ADRENALINE BEFORE THE FIGHT. I LIKE TO LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES TO SURPASS MYSELF AND BECOME BETTER EVERY SINGLE GAME. THIS WOULD, WITHOUT A DOUBT IF HE PULLS IT OFF, BE THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. AND AS I MENTIONED, HE'S BEEN PERFECT THUS FAR. >> John: NO DOUBT THIS WOULD BE THE BIGGEST WIN, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THEY HAVE BOTH FOUGHT AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO WOODING, HE'S FOUGHT HIGHER LEVEL COMPETITION IN BIG ORGANIZATIONS LIKE BAMMA. IN BELLATOR, DIATTA HAS SOME LEVELS TO STEP UP BUT HE'S DOING WELL RIGHT NOW. 90 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK, ROUND NUMBER ONE. RED GLOVES ARE DOMINIQUE WOODING, BLUE GLOVES FOR FABACARY DIATTA. NICE EXCHANGE BY DIATTA, STOP THAT SHOOT AND LEAVES HIM WITH SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT ON THAT EXIT. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT. OVER THE TOP. HE'S GONE LOW WITH THAT KICK A COUPLE OF TIMES, THAT ONE MORE TOWARDS THE BODY. >> John: YOU CAN TELL A COUPLE OF TIMES DIATTA HAS GROWN THAT JOB ABOUT TWO TIMES HE'S DROPPED IT DOWN. HE DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME BUT HE HAS DONE IT AND I THINK WOODING HASN'T SEEN IT AND IS WAITING ON IT. GOOD WORK FROM DIATTA. GOING FOR THAT TAKEDOWN. NICE KNEES INSIDE. GOOD FIRST 5 MINUTES, IN THIS FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT. GOOD, CLEAN ROUND FOR BOTH FIGHTERS. THERE IS THAT NICE KICK, THAT LOW KICK. YOU CAN SEE TAKES IT RIGHT OFF HIS FEET, JUST SWEEPING HIS LEG OUT. NICE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOTH GUYS IN THAT FIRST ROUND. I'M GONNA HAVE YOU PUT YOUR COACHES CAP ON, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO WOODING? >> John: I WOULD JUST SAY YOU NEED TO UTILIZE THAT JOB AND LOW CATCH KICK MORE. WHEN HE STARTS TO GET FLAT-FOOTED AND PUTTING WEIGHT ON THAT FRONT FOOT, I WANT YOU TO ATTACK THAT LEG LIKE YOU WERE AT TIMES IN THE FIRST ROUND. IF I'M DIATTA'S CODE, YOU NEED TO BRING THAT FOOT OUTSIDE OF HIS LEAD FOOT AND THAT RIGHT HAND STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, THAT'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE CROSSING THAT SPACE WHEN YOU DECIDE TO CRUSH IT, GO. DON'T HESITATE, DON'T HOLD BACK. >> Mike: YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED ME TO TRANSITION FROM ONE QUARTER TO THE OTHER. >> John: I GOT TO TELL YOU, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WATCHING DIATTA BEFORE, I THOUGHT HE'S REALLY GOOD, HE'S A YOUNG KID, 23 YEARS OLD. THAT'S A YOUNG MAN. HE'S REALLY A GOOD FIGHTER, HE'S GOT A LOT GOING FOR HIM. OBVIOUSLY HE'S GOING TO JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER, AND IMPROVE. IT SOMEDAY YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS GUY FIGHTING FOR WORLD TITLES. >> Mike: HE WON A CHAMPIONSHIP IN HIS HOME ORGANIZATION ALREADY, HE HAS BEEN AT THAT LEVEL WHERE HE FELT BECAUSE AT CERTAIN POINTS IN YOUR LIFE, A CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT IS A CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT, OBVIOUSLY. SO HE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP, THE 100% FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, NOW HE WANTS TO BE A FACTOR ON THE BIG STAGE OF THE BELLATOR STAGE. PERFECT 17-0. ZERO BETWEEN HIS AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS. >> John: THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DISTANCE -- NICE BODY SHOT -- WHEN YOU CLOSE OUT SPACE, DON'T JUST STAY INSIDE AND NOT THROW. START THROWING YOUR HANDS. MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. >> Mike: AND THROW COMBINATIONS. >> John: YEP. ALL SIX OF WOODING'S PROFESSIONAL WINS BY KNOCKOUT. >> John: HE HAS CLEAN SHOTS ON DIATTA. DIATTA HAS NOT BLINKED. NICE JOB OF STOPPING THE TAKEDOWN THERE. THAT WAS A CLOSE FIRST 5 MINUTES, WHO WOULD YOU GIVE THE EDGE TO? >> John: YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO WOODING, HE LANDED THE CLEANER, CRISPER SHOTS. HE HAD THOSE CALF IT'S THAT TOOK HIM OFF HIS FEET. WOODING GOT THE FIRST ROUND. RIGHT NOW DIATTA IS DOING WELL. MIDWAY POINT OF THIS FIGHT. RED GLOVES WOODING, BLUE GLOVES DIATTA. OUR COVERAGE CONTINUING ON THE BELLATOR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND BBC IPLAYER. AND CHEICK KONGO ABOUT TO ENJOY THE BIGGEST MOMENT AS HIS MMA CAREER, STILL TO COME IN THE REMATCH WITH TIM JOHNSON. FINDING ITS MARK. NICE LITTLE COMBINATION BY DIATTA, PRESSURE, HE NEEDS TO KEEP THAT PRESSURE ON HIM. THAT PRESSURE MAKES IT TO WHERE HE CAN'T BREATHE. NICE KNEE. YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU GO, THAT WAS SO GOOD! WOODING HAS THE ABILITY TO GET THIS TAKEDOWN. HE'S GOT HIS HANDS, THERE YOU GO. ONCE THE HANDS ARE CLOSED, IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF WHY IS HE WAITING? FOR WOODING, FIVE OF HIS EIGHT AMATEUR WINDS WERE ALSO BY KNOCKOUT. DIATTA TRYING TO PUT WEIGHT DOWN ON THAT HAD, IT'S HARD TO PICK UP WHEN YOUR HEAD IS BURIED, YOU NEED TO SWING OUT. DOING GOOD THINGS TO TRY TO STOP THE TAKEDOWN OF WOODING HERE. NICE JOB. WOODING STARTING TO LOOK LIKE HE'S GETTING A LITTLE BIT TIRED. STARTING TO BREED OUT OF HIS MOUTH, YOU CAN SEE HIS MOUTH OPEN. TRYING TO TAKE A BIG GULP OF AIR. >> Mike: THAT'S NOT PRESSURE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT DIATTA HAS PLACED UPON THEM, ESPECIALLY HERE IN ROUND 2. >> John: I NEED YOU TO CONTINUE THIS PRESSURE, I NEED YOU TO MAKE HIM WORK, MAKE HIM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE LIKE HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT SPACE TO GRAB THAT MOMENTARY BREATH OF AIR. YOU JUST WATCHED HOW HE JUST BROUGHT THAT KICK OUT. >> Mike: NICELY DONE. >> John: AND NOTICE COME OUT RIGHT AWAY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING SPACE. THAT WAS NOT GOOD. HE WAS A DOWN FIGHTER WHEN THAT ME, THAT WAS A MISTAKE. A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS. >> Mike: JOHN, YOU'VE DONE SO MANY FIGHTS. IT'S SPLIT SECONDS. >> John: IT IS, YOU GET USED TO THE POSITIONS AND KNOWING WHEN YOU CAN. LOOK WHERE HE'S AT, THE KNEE ON THE GROUND, THEN HE COMES UP AND WHEN THAT KNEE IS ON THE GROUND, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF BOTH HANDS ARE HIGH ABOVE HIS HEAD, IT IS A GROUNDED FIGHTER, YOU CANNOT KNEE OR KICK HIM TO THE FACE OR HEAD. THIS RIGHT HERE, I'M TELLING YOU STRAIGHT OUT, I DON'T BLAME WOODING AT ALL. IT'S NOT BECAUSE HE WAS HURT BY THE KNEE, YOU CAN SEE THE REACTION OF HIM WHEN HE LOOKED OVER AT REFEREE. LIKE A WHAT IS THAT? BUT WHAT HE IS GETTING IS EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS, HE'S GETTING AIR IN HIS LUNGS, HIS HEART RATE IS COMING DOWN, HE'S GETTING REFRESHED. IT TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU WANT. >> Mike: HE GOT HIMSELF OUT OF A BAD POSITION. A LOT OF PEOPLE GET CONFUSED AND EVEN FIGHTERS GET CONFUSED SOMETIMES ABOUT THE GROUND POSITION, IF YOUR FEET ARE ON THE GROUND, YES, THAT HAND GOES DOWN AND THAT MAKES YOU GROUNDED. BUT IF YOUR KNEE IS ON THE GROUND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF EVERYTHING ELSE IS UP IN THE AIR, WITH ONE KNEE ON THE GROUND YOU ARE A GROUNDED FIGHTER AND THAT MEANS THAT YOU CANNOT BE ATTACKED WITH KNEES OR KICKS TO THE FACE OR HEAD. GOOD ROUND FOR DIATTA. >> Mike: BIG TIME. WE GOT OURSELVES A BATTLE WITH . FRANCE 8-0 FABACARY DIATTA WOODING. RED GLOVES FOR BLACK PANTHER, FRANCIS DIATTA AND THE BLUE. AND IT'S 1-1. >> Mike: I THINK THE GUY WHO TAKES THIS ROUND, IF IT ENDS UP GOING THE DISTANCE IS GOING TO GET THIS FIGHT. RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME DIATTA IS A FRESHER FIGHTER. JUST MESSING WITH THAT JOB. NICE TAKEDOWN, WAY TO CHANGE LEVELS. IT BRINGS HIM TO HIS BACK, NOT A BAD GAME PLAN WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHAT WAS OCCURRING ON THE FEET. WOODING'S LOSSES HAVE BEEN A UNANIMOUS DECISION, A SPLIT DECISION AND HE WAS SUBMITTED IN THE THIRD ROUND OF A FIGHT, A REAR NAKED CHOKE LOSS BACK IN 2017. WE HAVE A VERY CLOSE FIGHT WITH 3 MINUTES REMAINING. >> Mike: THAT WAS A REALLY NICE TAKEDOWN FOR WOODING. ONCE THE FIGHT HIT THE GROUND, THE OFFENSE STOPPED AND HE WASN'T ABLE TO DO A LOT. JUDGES AREN'T GOING TO GIVE THE TAKEDOWN THAT MUCH CREDIT. HE WASN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO PROGRESS THE POSITION AND DO DAMAGE IN THE FIGHT. LIKE YOU ARE SEEING FROM DIATTA WHO IS REALLY OPENING UP. >> Mike: BIG TIME, HAD THE SHOULDER STRIKE. I LOVE THE WAY HE TURNS THOSE HIPS OVER WHEN HE THROWS THE KNEES. THIS KID IS TALENTED! >> John: HE IS GOOD, AND HE'S BEING ENERGIZED BY THIS CROWD OF HIS COUNTRYMEN WHO HE IS BEING ABLE TO PERFORM IN FRONT OF FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> Mike: AND WE'VE SEEN HIS CONFIDENCE GROW MINUTE-BY-MINUTE IN THIS FIGHT. >> John: YOU CAN TELL WHEN HE FIRST CAME IN IN THE FIRST ROUND HE WAS TIGHT, YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM, HE'S 23 AND FIGHTING IN FRONT OF HIS COUNTRYMEN. THERE'S A LOT OF WEIGHT ON HIS SHOULDERS, HE'S WANTING TO DO WELL. NOW HE'S JUST FIGHTING THE WAY THAT HE KNOWS HOW. HOW HE'S BEEN TRAINED, HE'S RELAXED, HE'S FEELING GOOD. RIGHT NOW, IT'S ANYONE'S FIGHT. >> Mike: SEE IF HE SETS UP A KICK HERE. WATCH THE BACK FOOT OF FABACARY DIATTA. KEEP AN EYE ON HOW HIS STANCE GOES. INSIDE KICK FROM HIS OPPONENT. UNDER TWO. YOU TOLD ME THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FUN FIGHT, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT. >> Mike: KNOWING HOW WOODING WAS, I THOUGHT WHEN I WAS WATCHING IT I WAS LIKE HE CAN FIGHT, HE'S TOUGH, HE'S STRONG, HE REMINDED ME A LOT OF A GUY LIKE MATT HUGHES BUT HE WAS BETTER IN THE STAND UP BECAUSE HE LIKED STANDING. MATT WAS ALWAYS A GUY WHO WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE YOU DOWN AND CRUSH YOU. >> John: MATT ALWAYS WANTED THAT KNOCKOUT. HE WANTED THAT HIGHLIGHT REEL KNOCKOUT AND HE ONCE TOLD ME WHEN HE WOULD SEE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TAKEDOWN, IT WAS LIKE A BIG TURKEY LEG ON THANKSGIVING. YOU COULDN'T AVOID IT. HE WAS PRETTY GOOD AT IT. YOU SEE RIGHT NOW DIATTA TRYING TO GET THAT ARM AWAY SO HE CAN FORCE WOODING DOWN TO HIS BACK. THE ELBOW STILL ON THE GROUND, WOODING GIVES HIS BACK. NEEDS TO GET THAT HOOK IN, DOES NOT DO IT SO YOU CAN SEE HIM PICK IT UP. DIATTA HAS THOSE HANDS TOGETHER, YOU GO. >> Mike: EXCELLENT. 30 SECONDS. HUGE TAKEDOWN LATE IN THIS FIGHT. >> John: THERE IS NO GUILLOTINE HERE, IT COULD BE THE CHOKE BY DIATTA, IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT DAMAGE HE CAN DO BECAUSE HE'S TAKING THIS ROUND. BIG RIGHT HAND. AND ALMOST ONE MORE. WHAT A FIGHT! DIATTA AND WOODING PUTTING ON A SHOW FOR THE FANS INSIDE THE ACCOR ARENA. AND WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD COME ALIVE FROM PARIS, FRANCE. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE BUT I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE THE BIGGEST WIN OF FABACARY DIATTA'S CAREER, AND HE JUST SHOWED YOU KNOW WHAT, COMING FROM FRANCE, FRANCE HAS GOT SOME TOUGH FIGHTERS. >> Mike: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIGHTER IN THE BLUE GLOVES BOUNCING AROUND, THE FIGHTER IN THE RED GLOVES AND HIS REACTION, ONE WOULD AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OF PARTNER. SOME OF THE SHOTS IN HERE BY DIATTA, BIG KNEES INSIDE, THAT TOUCHED A LITTLE BIT, GOOD SHOT RIGHT THERE. THIS IS WHEN THEY OPENED UP. WHEN HE GOT HIS HANDS TOGETHER, YOU COULD TELL HOW PHYSICALLY STRONG FABACARY DIATTA IS. ABLE TO PICK HIM UP, DROP HIM DOWN, THESE EXCHANGES, THIS IS WHERE HE GETS HIS HANDS TOGETHER, SWEEPS THE LEGS OUT, DROP THAT DOWN, BEAUTIFUL TAKEDOWN BY DIATTA. SHOWED THE OVERALL SKILL SET THAT HE HAS. YOU CAN TELL THAT MR. WOODING KIND OF HAS AN IDEA OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO. >> Mike: JUDGES HAVE RENDERED THEIR DECISIONS. AND HERE ONCE AGAIN IS CRAIG STEPHEN. >> WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IN THE BELLATOR CAGE WE GO TO OUR THREE SCORING JUDGES. 29-28, BOTH DOUGLAS CROSBY 30-27, ALL FOR THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION FROM FRANCE FABACARY DIATTA. >> Mike: CONGRATULATIONS TO FABACARY DIATTA! JUST DAYS SHY OF HIS 24TH BIRTHDAY MOM MOVES TO 9-0 IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER. OUR WINNER WILL TALK TO GARETH. >> FABACARY DIATTA, MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. YOU SEEM TO BE ELATED. [SPEAKING FRENCH] >> FILE BUT KARI HAS A VERY BIG FAMILY, YOU ARE THINKING EVERYONE, THINKING EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN YOU TO THIS JOURNEY AU ARE ALSO THINKING DOMINIQUE FORA GREAT FIGHT. IT WAS A FANTASTIC MATCH UP OF STYLES, WASN'T IT? YOU SLOWLY TOOK OVER THE FIGHT. >> [SPEAKING FRENCH] >> WINNER HERE LOVES THE FACT THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT COMBAT, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PLEASURE OF IT. YOUR OWN BRILLIANT SPORTSMAN, YOU ARE THE FIRST FRENCHMAN TO WIN IN A MAJOR MMA EVENT IN FRANCE. THAT'S SOMETHING AS WELL. >> [SPEAKING FRENCH] >> FABACARY IS THINKING EVERYONE IN PARIS, STILL UNBEATEN 9-0, GO AND ENJOY IT! >> Mike: THAT IS A HAPPY YOUNG MAN, AND JUSTIFIABLY SO. FABACARY DIATTA, WINNER ON HIS HOME SOIL ON THIS MONUMENTAL DAY FOR MMA BY UNANIMOUS DECISION. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET IT BACK TO GARETH AND OUR OWN BELLATOR STAR LEAH McCOURT. >> WELL, WHEREVER FABACARY DIATTA IS IN PARIS TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO BE THERE. THAT'S GONNA BE ONE BIG PARTY. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN FEEL THE ELATION IN THAT CAGE RIGHT NOW. IT WAS A TERRIFIC PERFORMANCE. IN A STYLE MATCHUP THAT THEY BOTH WANT TO STAND AND TRADE, HE SLOWLY TOOK OVER THE FIGHT. >> YOU CAN TELL WHY FABACARY IS UNDEFEATED, IT WAS A REAL TOUGH LOSS FOR DOMINIQUE, HE WAS LANDING SOME SHOTS BUT FABACARY WAS ONE STEP AHEAD. LANDING SOME CLEAN SHOTS, SOME NICE AS WELL, SETTING UP SOME NICE STRIKES AND JUST ONE STEP AHEAD. >> IT WAS A LOVELY KNEE FROM FABACARY IN THE FIRST ROUND AS WELL. AND HE SLOWLY BEGAN TO SHOW HIS GAME AGAINST DOMINIQUE, WHO LOOKED LISTLESS AS THE FIGHT WENT ON. HE BEAT THE LIFE OUT OF HIM IN THAT SENSE, THAT KIND OF FIGHTING ENERGY OUT OF HIM IN THE CONTEST. WHAT A MOMENT TO BECOME THE FIRST FRENCHMAN TO WIN IN A MAJOR MMA EVENT IN FRANCE. >> HE WAS DOMINATING, STRIKING ON THE GROUND AND YOU COULD TELL HOW EMOTIONAL HE WAS TO GET A WIN TONIGHT IN FRANCE. >> ABSOLUTELY, WE'VE GOT A LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE COMING UP NEXT. A BRITISH FAVORITE, TERRY BRAZIER. FORMER SOLDIER AGAINST A BRILLIANT FRENCHMAN, FORMER BREAK DANCER YVES LANDU. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, COMING TO THE CAGE FROM FRANCE, YVES LANDU! ♪ ♪ >> Mike: YOU SAW HE HAD TO LET HIM DO HIS THING, YVES LANDU IS AN INCREDIBLE ATHLETE. HE'S A GOOD FIGHTER, VERY ATHLETIC LIKE I SAID. NOT REAL TECHNICAL AT TIMES BECAUSE HE GETS CRAZY IN THE FIGHT, BUT HE IS DEFINITELY A HANDFUL IN THE CAGE. THIS GUY LOVES THE SUBMISSION. IF YOU SEE HIM GRAB AN ARM, HE IS GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THAT HOME WITH HIM. >> YVES LANDU, NICKNAME YOU KNOW COMES FROM A TIME IN WHICH HE WAS A BREAK DANCER. THAT MIGHT BE SOME OF HIS ATHLETICISM. IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS, NOW YOU KNOW. >> John: HE IS ENJOYING HIMSELF THE WHOLE TIME, YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT SOMEONE IS JUST PASSIONATE, HAVING FUN WITH COMING OUT. THINK ABOUT HOW COOL IT WOULD BE WALKING DOWN THAT RAMP, PUTTING ON THE SHOW THAT HE IS NOW.

WORKS WITH OUR GOOD BUDDY DAN HARDY. >> John: TERRY BRAZIER IS A GOOD FIGHTER, HE IS GOOD EVERYWHERE. I THINK IT WAS MORE THE OUTSIDE THINGS WERE GOING UP, AS A FIGHTER SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE SELFISH, YOU HAVE TO BE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE AND THINGS NOT GOING WELL IN YOUR LIFE, TAKE THAT COMMITMENT OF TRAINING AND EVERYTHING AWAY, I THINK THAT STARTED TO AFFECT TERRY'S CAREER. NOW HE'S BACK ON TRACK AND HE'S HAPPY, AND IT SHOULD BE THIS PERFORMANCE TONIGHT THAT TELLS US IS TERRY BRAZIER BACK TO BEING THE GUY HE WAS BEFORE? >> Mike: A LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT, OUR TALE OF THE TAPE FOR THIS LAST PRELIMINARY MATCHUP.

WHEN HE'S FEELING GOOD HE'LL DO ALL KINDS OF CRAZY TECHNIQUES. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A SMART THING TO DO AGAINST TERRY BRAZIER. >> Mike: LEAVING THAT CHAIN OPEN, YOU SEE HE'S STARTING TO EXIT, WATCH AND SEE HIS CHIN STARTS TO COME UP, THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN. ALL IT TAKES IS BRAZIER TO TIME THAT MOMENT, LINDA SHOT, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG EFFECT. >> John: JUST MISSED THAT ONE. A SWING AND A MISS. >> Mike: YVES LANDU SAID YOU KNOW, THAT ALMOST HIT ME. A LITTLE SUPERMAN PUNCH SHORT. HE'S OUT. AND IT'S ALL OVER! JUST LIKE THAT! >> John: THAT'S THE EXPLOSIVENESS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!

THAT'S WHY HE'S UNSURE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW. TERRY BRAZIER WAS LEANING AND LOOKING FOR A POTENTIAL TAKEDOWN AS WELL, SO UNFORTUNATE TIMING FOR THE DOMINATOR AS YVES LANDU EARNS HIS VICTORY IN HIS BELLATOR DEBUT IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. LET'S WATCH IT AGAIN. >> John: THIS KNEE HITS RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, THE FOREHEAD RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN SEE LOOK AT BRAZIER'S BODY LANGUAGE, HE IS STIFF, HE IS DISCONNECTED RIGHT HERE. SEE HOW HIS ARM IS STIFF? NO ABILITY TO CONTROL HIS BODY, HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HAPPENED. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING SOMETIMES FIGHTERS WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU SEE THEM ARGUING AND COMPLAINING. IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT OCCURRED BECAUSE IT'S A MOMENT IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY WEREN'T THERE. >> Mike: HE HAD A TON OF FUN WALKING IN, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A TON OF FUN WALKING OUT.
