odda our referee as John Salgado and Hugh McKenna get us started inside the mecca let's go Salgado with the blue gloves McKenna with the red gloves and here we go Salgado the southpaw and the kennel with the Pushkin theme we're gonna see a lot tonight his nerves how do they control it these guys are early in their careers fighting at Madison Square Garden big lights tonight the fighter who's relaxed the guy who has the event second professional fight for you McKenna fight in his backyard you know so much focused gym he goes on Bellator 180 in the pay-per-view but this is special as well for these two young men the reason is every fight is an audition when you're making your way up every fight is an audition you opposed to remember you you want to get back here again let's see who really engages first here no McKenna is the one so far taking the center trying to keep Salgado on the outside bit so I got a good job of sticking and moving he's not staying in one place they're trying to cut off the teacher you slip there by both oh man all right handle Jimmy like speak and we can remember now put that hands to the ground ain't gonna save you a lot of controversy around that recently kena try to establish and clinch here good job done so far a couple of Eve's land this is the part of McKenna's strategy always kept Soldado against the fence this is a position he's wanted back against it good clinch throwing knees taking with the legs and Salgado both men trying to deliver from this position into the D team that doesn't have his hips activated take him down right into side control looking mistake [Applause] hips on activated guillotines not going to help you just make something for the guy to take you down nice mount not a good spot right here for John Salgado he's hanging on to the head that's a bad idea wants to free up and start moving you're not gonna get to the guy from their heads free as well can I hear you slow it down take the energy out of your opponent make them struggle knowing they're not gonna get out I want to go to crazy right when you get a dominant position trying to posture up and throw down some ground and pound top first Salgado to control McKenna from this position really tough the problem is right now he's just hanging on with his arms wants to be mobile has to move use the hip escape Janice a really heavy Ginny yep bad vision that's what you don't want to hang on you want to be moving as much as you possibly can and I'm telling you being under there full mount if you don't win that big shot Matt it's fatiguing being under that takes all of your energy big elbow McKenna very good control after the takedown yeah no submission attempts yet not trying to rush anything he's content to stay on top of Salgado take his energy whale and those short shots a minute 30 left it's a lot of time right Scot Salgado pinned up against the cage now it's going Kimura turn to straight on go take a shot trying to Fisheries you really got to commit his hips now going back to the Kimura but in order to really feel sad he has to hop over in the side control just like that when you try and really crank it he's in good position it is all over kill McKenna with the finish that's what you talked about with patients you don't go crazy you let him struggle you let him wear themselves out then you go for it good maturity for only a second fight Danberg Liana said screaming if you wanted to stop or tap I'm right here and there was the tap two bad options you can scrap that's not winning excellent Mora that's an excellent point here's our black card premium spikes from replay the fold 93 through from that's edgy to the court let's start with the takedown Jimmy yeah beginning of the end here went to the guillotine didn't have his hips behind it easy takedown and what I liked not just the mount transition but the patient's get the slam he doesn't immediately go to mountain he takes his time and once he had mount took his time again Kimura no way he was getting out of this Dan we're glad all over it you see the tap great stuff by humor Kenna look at this step over nice and high doesn't let Salgado pull him back in the half guard stays right inside controlling the referee you knew it I knew it it was just a matter of time screamer tap either way this fights about to be over and there's the tap and a victory for human tena now something human is going member for a long time I fought at MSG and I won it's great feeling first round submission victory or you McKenna to make it official here is why Percy Williams hey gentlemen inside the Bellator cage the tap comes by way of a camera official time four minutes six seconds into round number one the winner by submission official time 406 around number one congratulations q McKenna till the tape brought to you by Dave & Buster's the only place to eat drink play and watch sports this one went viral Sergio de Silva trying to fool the scale only putting one foot on didn't help him miss weight by seven pounds that could be a big difference in the fight [Music] Tom Mike will see Williams presented by number right Bellator MMA from the garden now presents three five-minute rounds of 138 pounds introducing the blue corner first at five foot seven weighing in 137 point six pounds his professional record stands at six and originally from Rio de Janeiro Brazil now fighting Halep Queens New York presenting satchel the cereal across the page 10% cutting out of the red corner at five foot eight weighing in 133 point six pounds as a professional impressive with non victories just two defeats from Levittown PA presenting Matt racer show whistle in charge of the action your referee Big John McCarthy meet John McCarthy our referee for this match jump between Sergio de Silva and Matt Rizzo there we go here we go fight clock brought to you by Miller Lite the original light beer Cheers it's Miller time case to me might be two guys who have a lot of faith in their ground games Matt Rizzo nine wins seven by submission Sergio de Silva the product of Nova young trains with the former bantamweight champion Marco Scalf all he has a lot of confidence in his jiu-jitsu as well blue gloves for two Silva red gloves for razor sharp Matt Rizzo result those nine wins seven by submission is Jimmy talked about six victories just a couple of submissions for the savage thirty one-year-old Sergio de Silva there's a giveaway whenever you have USA Wrestling tattooed anywhere on your body don't have the takedown quick easy giveaway that's even easier than the years and years computer could be judo it could be a lot of things there you go thank you just like this what I do for you but this is gonna welcome there's that pressure game the rests are coming in usually can't that the takedown his pudding physical pressure on the Silva who tends to start out quickly but tends to fade later on in fights that's been his weakness so far in Bellator really trying to force it around early this how those things were from our vantage point from we're seeing it it's hard to decide who's using the most energy and he's putting a lot of weight on this over putting him against the fence he's a wrestler he's used to that kind of position now he's disabled pushing back with everything he's got or is he hanging back letting Rizzo burn up more gas hard to see from here he's definitely winning around yet the aggressive you do know one thing this is a grueling way to fund it inside chip can't get it here one of the corners say nice and calm nice and long exactly they know how much gas you can burn in these positions finally has good double egghead position trying to get it up let's see that under hook that's with preventing the takedown nice under hook by de Silva and a couple little now once you say the head - that was a BJ Penn special against the sense you always find that under Houdini the bigger guys would always save them maybe Jake back up keep them there [Music] it's the lid on the car seat said it's good therefore it's good therefore it's good John tells you to go to sleep turn off the TV and go to sleep you turn off the TV and you go to sleep when he says license and registration you give your license registration he did that for over two decades still got that voice punches to the midsection thrown by Matt Rizzo you're right Jimmy it's hard to tell which guy is gaining momentum or not or position or not when that can forth yeah when the [ __ ] Ang's go wrong for a bar that's a marco Scoville specialty he's putting weight on that left leg and he's out the back I was in a good right position here no hooks it almost has what we call crab ride and wrestling now one hook in trying to get the other he's not we're just where de Silva want it to be [Music] next Rama could escape by Sergio to Silva just under a minute on the clock carrying the first round Rizal wanting nothing to do with the strike and still persistent with the takedown as they watched the front choke the silverware the good squab would take down the fence I hear his corner saying got attacked from there I think he's behind in the round Rizzo has been the aggressor so far Cole wants anaconda not in a good position to get it though the Darce choke from that angle 20 seconds Hynek gave it up get around the guard I think he's gonna have time especially with that fence in the way the Silva gonna in this round on top [Applause] right here against the fence putting pressure on look like the cup shot to me I don't want to get yelled John but John was right on top it's a lot closer than we are and here's where this little got in so much trouble one hook in when I was a good job by Rizzo bailing out of that position not getting pulled over the top good fighter knows when it's done close first round Jimmy who did you give it to I give it 10 9 Matt Rizzo he was the aggressor a little bit more that's why he has it on my scorecard [Music] you go around to read clubs for wizzle's in gloves for DaSilva and they meet in the center of the cage immediately bacillus courtesan stay behind the jab these are feelers a little bit more he's rushing in too much the double leg position he's got it again de Silva once nothing to do was stand up tonight all he's done is throw maybe one or two strikes to get that set up for the takedown and this is a lot earlier than he got the takedown in the last round that over four minutes to work that's a long time Rizzo staying active with that butterfly looking to triangle rule of thumb wrist control means triangle elbow control means armbar and he immediately went to control that risk de Silva doing exactly what his corner said come up big come out early explode knowing that as you said Jimmy they may have lost round one Rizzo using that butterfly guard feed on the hips not going through closed guard with that guard the Silva trying to advance yeah I like what the Silva's doing with the pressure though always worrying about that sweet very active with the lids very active with the butterfly garden balanced so far by the Silva yeah making it very difficult on Matt Rizzo what that does someone has butterflier feed on the hips hard to put physical pressure on them it's almost like being on top of an exercise ball kind of floating I'm not really putting all your pressure where you want without pressure without stability it's hard to get your grounding for the ride on Sergio de Silva can get that laid over his face and got it so but being smart Pope pulls that shoulder out still in danger of a triangle if Rizzo can change his hips around still an armbar position though half way that right arm is kind of in kind of out so there's one has triangle and armbar options so we've got square up pull that shoulder out left it behind again he's gotten the top control if you will and it's actually Rizzo who's doing a great job from the bottom now there's my Poppa set up there he can turn and really angle his hips away from the cage don't forget to keep up with Bellator across all social media platforms join the conversation on Facebook Twitter and Instagram add a hashtag Bellator MMA and snapchat at Bellator Nation v-bar right there if he leans back and steps over and see how Rizzo saw triangle these legs barely awkward top position right now for the Silva don't grab it back go and grab it mat talking about don't grab the fence inverted he'll look right there again active from the bottom razor-sharp Rizal now trying to pop back to his feet put some pressure on to Silva Rizzo ended round one on top and now he's got the mount now the back little poachy nice settles down to full mount just like our first fight ninety-two time left over honey Silva couldn't advance Rizzo does got the back looking to finish Danny did it went to the power half nelson kind of opened him up body triangles nest to get out of and he's got it on the good side Sylva right now in survival mode trying to protect razors going for it on the chin [Applause] like to chew it to shove up pointing that finger and Big John saying I'm okay right now I'm okay if you can continue to punish him on top twenty seconds now Jim see how he kept the body lock and kept that same lock into mouth that's a hard thing to do rizo spent a ton of time big shots on the bottom in the second round but finishes with a strong performance this is how the round ended where you don't want to be their opponent on your back DeSilva defending the rear naked choke was able to keep it above the chin but ate some punches was in a bad position last couple minutes of that round in a very close round up into that point he gave up bad position and Rizzo never let him off the hook great transitions from back mount to full mount good stuff so far from that ago every night Jimmy Rizzo up two rounds tonight I have a lecture on sand on both ten on ten nine it is third and final round there's that takedown attempt immediately it's always a bad sign a guy with the wrestling background gets the takedown without that second and third effort without that that burst of gas he needed to use two three times me going get it typed down he's got a lot of energy left for his ground and count for his top control we always want to make him work and get that second effort in if you get taken down got to make it work for it that was too easy when you say too easy I think about white men can't jump yeah the two is outstanding as though phil davison Ryan Bader they talked about that it was like aw I got the teeth down but you know Noah's gives that second whatever my high level Russell does that's a big difference between you don't eat elite level and guys who just starting out elite double guy will shoot you three times never let you off the hook a guy like Josh Costra exactly yeah that NCAA titles you shoot two three times yes by the transition that you see DaSilva doesn't have the energy we had in round one right now behind in the scrambles good pressure by Rizzo Silva needs to push the piece big time here three and a half remains in this fight [Music] you're kind of like a crucifix and a spoof on strap and a leg you don't see that very often is the one who has to explode remember on my scorecards to the nun absolutely everyone this is where your opponent doesn't have to work as hard as you do nice transition to get on top took the risk and it paid off side control away from the cage I want to push mark with his legs pulling away just a half step ahead of the silver let's see if the silver can get some hooks toe he's got one we're gonna get that second hook in we've got one end to that left one in so the time dependent doesn't work let's it go to transition to body triangle had both hooks in first the body triangle long-legged guys like that yeah Phil Davis is a guy Oh freak body triangle 101 bill BtoB back in bed rest he's an honor student yeah it's crazy these ones guys photograph a lot template don't let every told you back in that room you can do that as a yes hi I'm triangle trouble things trying to fight it [ __ ] he's holding on to his ear using the defense talking on the phone is the way to get that pressure but we let it go shots to the body how much we're gonna commit to it good job transitioning thanks Lloyd done Matt razor-sharp Rizzo you know what I like seeing I like seeing you guys in great position as the scorecards and says you know what I'm going for the finish I'm not just stand on top I'm seeing if I can finish this fight I like seeing that neon fighter [Music] cuz I think he could have stayed in that position until the clock gone out with a win by decision that wasn't good enough take a look at our black card premium spikes drum replay the bull 93 proved wrong that's edgy to the core now all of this is bad for Sergio vasila his arm is trapped full mount the other arm is attempts his neck in arm triangle position and look at the pressure over his own this has become really popular recently they don't go all the way over to side controls kind of a half mount where they can really crank on that sucker and that's what he got beautiful job great pressure the symbol held out as long as he could but nothing he could do against that kind of pressure in that position great stuff by matt Rizzo eighth career win by submission for Pennsylvania's Matt Rizzo and he does it inside Madison Square Garden to make it official here is Michael C Williams ladies and gentlemen inside the Bellator cage the tap comes by way

five-minute rounds in the blue corner standing at 511 weighing in at 155 point 8 pounds a professional record of 2 wins and 1 loss fighting out of the Bronx Jerome don't make mega ad in the red corner standing at 5:00 Friday weighing in at 157 point four pounds a professional record of one and one fighting out of cells in New York Anthony G Akina and your referee for tonight is Rob Hinds have a great fight I'm going to get out of here right now we spare no expense here inside the Mecca no expense [Music] alright gentlemen here we go first round you ready here we go Jerome Mikkel blue gloves Anthony T akima in the red gloves southpaw gia Tina upstate exploded I have to drag him down again that's dangerous because your opponent can do that take your back pressure early now you don't have to wonder what the strategy is that right doubling like that yeah treasure early pressure from the start high pace a lot a lot of level changes that's what Phil Davis says we're gonna see you later tonight and the title fight in the light heavyweight division this ring about Phil is he doesn't have that straight-ahead kind of style his wrestling is very unorthodox and striking styles unorthodox his body is an orthodox hard to see his tough coming doesn't come at you just straight for the double leg it's not easy to fight the white power no that's his bill yeah really persistent when the start of this fight is Mikkel there's distance again promise Jason guy who wants to back you stay off the fence I have to keep that footwork going cuz they can push you right into the fence they want that clinch they want that game with no space I already care Mikal switching up his stance towards the kid that was solid so Mikkel very comfortable switching his stance up you see it here early in the fight Mikkel still guys back against the fence I were there I would angle Frank out make this a center fight make the grappler take that shot in the open mat not when you're against the fence pressure Akina looking to close the gap thought we'd see more takedowns from after that first double leg I thought well that's his game he's gonna want to push mid get to the fence and do that over and over again he's been content to strike the last couple minutes Oh big right hand and again Tina's trying to answer back he didn't go into a defensive mode he kept slugging Wow love seeing that mifflin over the top but you fire with fired up and then return by Tina mani swinging looking to end it right here right now Tina doing the smart thing getting chest to chest doesn't want to give that right hand range Tina the first time he was hurting I'm gonna answer back yeah that's a good punch of that last time you let you know what didn't go back to my wrestling to clear my head a little bit yep Mikkel applying the pressure now thrown to me jeah Tina watch for that overhand right again locked and loaded there it is once again keeping pressure on him keeping him against the fence if you respect that overhead right he's not showing that fear in there he goes he gets the payoff ball gets it against the fence but since that first double leg he hasn't found success with his wrestling and keep pressure control distance Bubba hasn't got metal down before again final minute of round number one MacEwan the blue gloves gia tina in the red box stance which again I talked about earlier Jimmy yep and kick butt check the sport Tina's been the pressure guy he's been the aggressive good punches [Applause] big takedown wait Jimmy these guys came to fight they did in different ways we saw that early class double leg excellent job by G Akina but the striking especially the right hand of Mikkel has been on point he's hurt gia Tina more than once that's putting money in the bank going after the legs and the right hand that's what staggered G Akina set up a lot of great punches but credit Jeep Tina's heart his aggression he fired back and got back in this fight and ended against offense right where he wanted to be but he is yet to find an answer for that right hand or the uppercut of Mikkel has to worry about that round number two he can't get hit like this throughout the fight expect to win I'll be stopping let's go helping put it set for the start around - would you give around 1 - 10 9 Mikkel I'll tell you why the the criteria effective striking and effective grappling have equal weight I thought he strike - he's a little more effective chiquinha grapple lot was enclosed by a conical take down below looking to finish it right here cards about to be meaningless another big right hand that's why I gave me one one the ability to hunt guillotine right on cue Gina is tough he'd go really as he keeps scrambling Mikkel fighting out of the Bronx inside the mecha looking for that right hand again gia Tina's trying to mix it up throw some kicks but look at the fundamental changes he's not making that left hand still floating low he's really vulnerable on that side that's why that right hand keeps keeps landing whenever I see guy get hit by something I think doesn't make the fundamental changes necessary to avoid that gia Tina he has not he's been in the fight he's always pushed before that's great and he hasn't kept that chin down and up and up and Mikkel deftly utilizing his reach of s one thing to have it Jimmy we've talked about it before it's another thing that I use it the way he's using this doesn't push forward when he strikes he keeps it rained and he'd left gia keen to come to him that's what you do when you have a range event what we haven't talked about them before but we have separated by toss looking one guy about exactly [Laughter] separately we have both talking yes we have nice left and right pressure and tick-tock desperately needed by G Gina now what do you have to do is desperately keep him down cannot just let him back to his feet make this a striking match again he's gotten take damage before you ask him to settle and really use top position in half guards ground impound [Applause] nice and done I was a nice shot this is the ground pound of a guy who does not want this back on the feet staying very busy really active calling for the north-south joke he's got side control shots from this production airtime can he get it it's very very tight even not a pressure back to it this basic submission in jujitsu that it still works he's out good defense thus far by Mikkel but he's mounted see that matt has the arm trapped it's a very dangerous mouth it really lets you go crazy aid for the exposed arm or to step up and ground in town you have either choice and a nice job by gia Tina Jimmy he got locked a couple of times and he got it to his world and it's trying to finish it right here and this isn't a guy who's holding on yes trying hard to finish this fight absolutely you don't want to start the next round stand back let's get out of here if I can keep it hosters our body had quick tip from nipple to need this one is up for grabs this last minute as only live on the feet Chiquita schooled him on the ground in the breadbasket I'll take everything I know G akina's corner scene he's tired he's tired in Poland another takedown right in the side control 20 seconds on the clock here in round 2 very active on macho the SI take this to add our strip by exactly way get the arm back not going to finish in time [Music] [Applause] we're gonna stuff on the feet Mikal landing that right hand right to the chin when you see that in slow motion it's amazing G Akina was able to get back into this fight but as soon as he hits the ground he's active he's scrambling he's trying to get back in it and he got his reward later and around with his own top game and there it was side control full mount aggressive went for more than one submission great ground in town I think he did enough on the ground to earn this round back and considering how it started that's saying a lot third and final round five minutes remain Mikkel in the blue blocks ght now in the red gloves one round each according to my partner Jimmy Smith very tough which surprised me they're both flip to the eyes of the jump to G all over the board right the point is neither guy can feel like I got it in the bag I can write out this last fight but it's both guys have to fight hard woods they've been doing so far every mixed martial artist in the world knows it's never a good idea to leave it in the hands of the chess and if you don't have that figured out yet you haven't been in the sport long and there you go we have seen some bad ones you wanna absolutely kick right to the body you can see his reaction moving the back Tina's birthday more for standing on trying great our Gyo by Anthony jigs he's a really tenor space right sweetly never set a patient Pete Pete he's fighting like he did in the first minute that's good condition that's good pacing and he stayed pedal to the metal the entire second round and getting clipped away FINA that takes a lot of gas a lot of it got clipped big in the first round second round meet this statement we can escape by Mickey you get to take the yeah he takes almost that grabs of like oh I just got there you got a mood right now you'd have to move to get guard backs got scramble you can't let your opponents solidify the position and how that goes flat right you know and we've seen every time side control on the tape down immediately exactly do not fight to get that position so that's what you talked about Jimmy that the tactical air that Mickle's bacon is allowing chiquinha the position exactly you take down a big restaurant maitre d's back desk grab the decision right there looking for a good position she can't be very smart on top is going through the Americana the key lock over and over again why it's a safe position you don't have to get out of side control enough to commit a lot of body weight you don't get it you're still good very very safe position time the Pats the midway point of the third and final way Nicholas got a sellout what I mean by that is maybe turn your back maybe give up something big risk getting submitted and ordered down this petition cos t Akira a0 anyway talking about a north-south choke it's too high to chokes him there it's gonna angle out of it there you go girls always talking I started to get some higher belts no one that's done before you do they just know I'm not gonna get it the chances we see that transition he knows he doesn't have it and it's go for something better looking to finish his funny they're gonna Trump it it's all over he waited I'm waiting for you to say that's what it was and I saved it great stuff I did not do a Sean shirt it did Knox and it only happened once in my career and it only happened once in my career [Music] producer John Martin just said you'll see why folks that hand was up here's our black card premiums and spikes from replay the bold 93 proof rum

see Randy then that rope could tour that's where it was gone with the Gracie thing I I'm picking up what you put down legends he's one of them Cariah near correct [Music] all right sir ready sir let's go put my clock brought to you by Miller Lite the original light beer Cheers it's Miller time here go quick tick by Ryan Couture he is in red gloves I'm sorry with blue gloves the south wall one thing I'm curious about was going to tour last two times the belt okay vicious knockout lost country keep it bowl followed by a light quick submission loss to Gore Thiago Chi is he confident does he fight with depression still thinking about those finishing Ryan Couture was 11 years old when UFC one cook place my first fight was Randy Couture eating maurice smith to become to heavyweight champion our 7 ths rest of our fans are going what's HS my phone yeah blockbuster anybody nobody don't know we're talking about the tour looking to set the pace early nothing that low kick look he's measuring it some counter punches but Holly likes to use that reach doesn't and very unorthodox style drop the arms a lap moves it strange angles throws it strange angles so far as letting ride be the aggressor I remember asking Randy years ago when Ryan made his professional debut like I know it's probably tougher with your son in there than being on there yourself you see I'm his dad but he said he's okay he's got this yeah he put in the work and on the other side people don't understand if you're lying to if you Kron Gracie if you're from a legacy like that you're compared to that person you were entire life that's not an easy thing to train it's not easy thing to deal with can't just be okay or not just another guy at the gym amen even grace it a little bit remember that's been on his back his whole life go guys works when I was talking about sorry I kept pushing the skin so you can see the game plan for Couture's and pressure that seems to be the Couture game plan oh man father and son they love that physical pressure lock spear pulling up wear them down yeah that's how Randy became the Hall of Famers this right here grind on your opponent dirty boxing right to the ribs definitely thinking body wearing goes ollie out you want to talk to foreign fighters anybody outside the United States and you say well what is about a letter to the fighters he made some some good man they all wrestle or just wrestlers everywhere every camp has high-level wrestlers it's hard to wait wrestling and to that point that's why all these combat humble guys that come over have so much success yeah I think so they battle on the fence here first he wants to fight a distance and couture doesn't want to let him steps into everything he throws pushes it off the jab pushes off the right hand and to get this on the against the fence both men have a good reach they fight long and lines for the great job of fighting wrong and following it up promise ghazali hazard lives down the way how the best cleats positions he really hasn't hasn't had an answer for this kind of attack best way to beat is with your feet circle enough and that's not against the fence when he attacks but [Music] fifth Bellator fight for rank for final 10-second surround number one row two [Applause] red gloves for Couture blue gloves for I'm Cazale if he could turn things up here in the second I'm sure he gave to tour round one dry did his nine because he's kind of fight of the big defense a lot of dirty boxing Holly tends to plant disputed positions like this he's not angling you've been circling and what do you know your backs against the fence when you face that superior grappling you gotta keep angling with him planting his feet you see that the tourists or those little boat chips yep chopped out that footrock-back Dan Henderson's as good as anybody with that the great thing usually follows it up with the h-bomb Chael Sonnen might use that tonight just bulrush van delayed to the fence get him in his brother position was gonna be dominant once again goes all you hanging on but no real counter offense no real strategy to get out of here bullying dog that's pretty rare see that too often that's got a lot of faith in your Gong him to pull guard on line couture that's last fight belching armbar from Gucci Yamaguchi but Butchie a fantastic grappler nobody went back in drilled that armbar

gotta love it everybody excited June 20 Heather Harvey Spooner said no more kicks she doesn't need to utilize kicks they said just use your and they've been at punching range most of this fight I hear with that advice you'll need to overextend yourself a gal that was a good kick Alice yoga has basically been willing to engage for a punching range he already has to figure it out I did you get their own Orthodox school denies and kicks a little bit more she started out throwing punches I think she learns her lesson with that one another good county by gauger it was a very close first five minutes Jamie how to score I gave it 10-9 Hardy cuz I thought she was a little more accurate with her punches landing some good overhand rights she just did a little bit more make no mistake the auger had her moments there that's true together we get an offensive sequence that really works for she's great in spurts which he has to put it together need to come back to that country good idea she was coming

Middletons fight that was a war as well on the losing end of that but the mash put everything into it the Bellator debut back in January whoa big swing in abysus did she just clipper cuz there's some blood on the cheek now she flipped it with that straight right you got me map to the overhead my future strategy is hitting with a different kind of right hand win the rights she tightens up a little bit possibly Agra will be able to see it Sparty the favorite here Madison Square Garden she boxed at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn she comes over just past the middle swing of this fight doesn't need more of those late kicks it's so willing to exchange punches with a party godwyn is far too busy to boxing she hasn't been involved in five minute rest true that is the difference but I'm telling you she's been training for five minutes for a long time she said I come from a long line of really tough women multi-antenna needs seven in the West we're live on pay-per-view two title fights including Michael Chandler and Brett British we haven't seen from Harbor is that level change double a single leg high crotch attack tall foundation for to get the clinch some punches trying to get

Rula promises that Heather Hart is done a good job of pushing younger back to the punches where that Clinton really be effective is it should get Heather Hardy against the fence limit her ability to get out really lay on those knees and so far that hasn't done [Music] second round of the book so much of this fight at boxing range and that has been great for Heather Hardy she's found a hand and opening for the overhand right over and over and over again third and final round parties corner said couldn't not draw don't get into a brawl with her daughter's corner Timmy said we got to treat this round like we need to finish Heather Harvey down two routes to none both of them tonight she's had her moments but Heather Hardy has done more damage Brooklyn's own getting the love here is one thing had the hard to keep doing [ __ ] keeps popping out a ring she keeps slipping and sliding she's getting a grip down but slipping punches but she does she's so far out of reach you can't return she's just slip and get a little bit closer she can counter-attack that though it's the adjustment from pure boxing he ever Natalie and look at the volume party just busier she's blowing a lot more she's feeling better combinations Zehra I think she slipped a punch when she's not quite in range to throw a counter shots a little too far out they could miss make them pay yep slipping rip yep she's doing a great job getting out the whip just not quite in return the main reason for that Jimmy's because every time they go to the clinch it seems like here ya're gets the better a hearty she has a

Miller time red gloves the familiar pink shorts for Phil Davis blue gloves black trunks for Ryan baby Davis said I want to get that taped out working early I didn't do that in the last fight then got to be weary on that it's the high level Russell who cost you a lot of antigen early on in the fight Ryan Bader stuff all but one takedown attempt and there were many in the first fight back in 2015 number one we'll get that left arm down only had one off on that takedown now Ryan vailable body lock position I'm Boehner the winner of season 8 of The Ultimate Fighter right here on Spike later Sean a little southpaw yeah he says might strike up hasn't been so much in the last month I slept in the first fight he was at his best he's pushing off his punches using those strikes to clear a lot of distance and push Phil Davis back he's a great necessarily at cutting angles and setting traps a forward kind of strike vote and have serious power Davis is the kind of angle through a looping shot over the top that's where their Styles differ when it comes to striking like that goofy shots later won his last two fights in the UFC Bill Davis foreign Dolan inside the Bellator cage great stuff still to come live on pay-per-view top of the hour title on the line here live on Spike great to be with you Mike Goldberg Jimmy Smith can you stop it again yep same problem look at that ring slow with the right hand but the left hand was too high Vader got underneath it gotta keep it with both hands Brendan Schaub drops down to the agender brown Phil Davis over to Midway on point of round one it has to be perfect margin of error is very very slim you want to take down a guy like Ryan Bader and this is not gives wrestling this is they've been at distance where it's been hard to get that takedown going and we've talked about the difference between wrestling and MMA wrestling many times yes well with different people we have discussed we haven't talked about it you've heard us at home I talked about it with Joe you talked about it with both doctor we have talked about that strategy still Davis's happen to go on by wrestle so far it hasn't panned out routes start to get on him dear their boat painfully aware of all the pains will fight last time they are aware of that fans were not happy bill ducked under there and almost delivered a good counter left down mine Bader in the southpaw stance so far this round almost dead even build a because I think a little bit more active he's gone for a couple takedowns Ryan Bader a little bit more at a curette the queen strikes but hasn't grown much anytime you work your striking game with someone involved with mobile yow that is a good thing fantastic team all the way around Hannah Burrell was even in Phoenix training with Ryan Bader CB Dollaway in the crew there [Music] just a jujitsu it is in decline I'm sure that hurt but I'd be a lot standing up not child on vacation let although kicky just once off the forearm and return by Davis cook jab by Bader reaching the end of round one more than anything Jimmy this first round mutual respect around to Eric Del Piero longtime trainer for Phil Davison San Diego Alliance MMA said if he keeps moving we need to GS Pia look for the one free to talk earlier on his card about GSP and his jab as Billy said everything up off that lead hand problem with the takedown link partly in Russian is a weren't great set up she wasn't getting Ryan banner to to bite on any the strikes he was throwing so he kind of had to dive in while you're not gonna take Ryan Bader down but he got a hurdle for something pop him in the nose then maybe we set up that takedown Davis has only lost three times in his career and they've all come by decision one debater of course the split decision the other two by unanimous decision to her shot Evans and rumba Anthony Johnson it's really winging that left hook what the reason I gave I get the first round 10 9 - Phil Davis he was just more activist around he's just a little busy throwing a little bit more neither guys really landed anything significant but Phil Davis has been leading it a little bit even moving he's been throwing the biblical activity levels why he gave him round one that I'm still a closed round so despite the fact he couldn't get a takedown in the first five minutes you still five still no little edge going for a point trying to be the aggressors - trying to get the fight to the ground yeah a lot of people don't think that way Jimmy Lee you know you are going through the takedown and instead of you didn't succeed then no credit for defenses who's trying to get it done so far it's filled in not by a whole lot very close fight Phil's career has really been the story of the takedown in the rumble fight Anthony Johnson stuffed all eat attempts with Phil Davis people over to share up he took over about nine times lives and dies with the takedown absolutely [Music] both of these guys high level white heavyweights for years top of the food chain once the Bellator champion the other and his first championship fight don't stop taking on that who loses matches full Davis you have to throw a lot of strikes not gonna catch me that first one the second one maybe the third or fourth we'll do it right now Ryan Bader really stuck in the to punch mode he asked to throw those long combinations you need to hit a guy who's moving a lot till Davis really moving along over the top Bader saw a cub [Music] still can't get back but you trap you try he's going for it right once for aggression it's hot into papi Oh Gomez also met the striking invaders camp for this fight he's worked with guys like Jose Aldo totally different vibe for Ryan Bader as who makes his Bellator debut right to the top rigsy was supposed to be king mall instead it's a title fight and that's good as an entree that is an upgrade and we love Rob King mo great fighter something to this fight for sure - really - about yes [Music] so far it's looking a lot like the first fight not a whole lot of activity in terms of significant strikes both guys really trying to find their rhythm it the target is elusive what does that lead to Goldie tough rounds to score yes scorecards it could be all over the place which could lead to a very close split decision that the guy who lost really disagrees with which I think already happened 30 heavy Jeff Bader faked the shot came over the top [Music] take this round so far two lives ahead Barry facebooking silent it [Music] final seconds around to order right now live on pay-per-view they finally fight Chael Sonnen Wanderlei Silva Fodor enters the Bellator cage for the first time Matt Mitrione his opponent two titles on the line round three twenty minutes away from my live pay-per-view before that somebody's gonna leave this cage with a belt around their waist so far Jimmy it's pretty tough to tell which god yeah very very tough again switches the stands [Music] wonder how footsteps feelin out where Phil Davis oh you know I didn't quite do enough last it did quite put my stamping arounds like I should have how much that stays within tonight how much is he gonna turn it up feeling that didn't do enough laps and will that motivate him right now this fight looks like the last body needs to go either way in both men said they didn't like the first one and both men have greatly now since that first time this is the man punch and then the follow-up that was the best combination of the fight for Davis best so far Vader tops Beiber's letting buildings initiate trying to topple over the top third five-round fight of Phil Davis's career fours five round fight of Ryan Vader's career up the middle what's interesting is they brought they pulls have little pockets but it's nothing they can easily replicate replicates like both guys are moving the throwing stuff sometimes stuff is landing but neither guy has found like okay this is how I'm gonna be bigger down the feet yeah but they haven't found the path to success on the feet find the feet is where this entire fight has taken place to successfully take baby must his final work on things like that he snaps the head back down come back with the right the left over the top three four punches he's got that heavy overhand right he's hit up a couple punches the jab what I'm done both times had the highlight reel finish with that vicious need in Germany on a lair Latifi perfectly time [Music] great point tough acts to follow roll on in the card was you didn't catch of my James Gallaher he looking radically refreshment great stuff all night Boehner opened his MMA career with 14 straight victories five of those in the UFC his first professional loss to some gum dude named John Jones never heard me neither have it's good to see he's decent stuff yeah no shame in that loss no shame [Music] meet uppercut phil davis is able to elude damage once again under a minute here in the third peter hasn't really found his power punch and what's you twice me to be out of this round ass kid will followed up at the right hand on that hook in the power kicks at that two or three I'm here to catch Bill Davis good so far see the one Syngenta that's not quite enough keep an eye on the kicks that are blocked by the forearm because those will break a form on this side there is a passage to the fight and it's Babel look at the fifteen seconds remains hearing a third but a big takedown late Davis on top [Music] [Applause] yeah yeah for water well would they down hurry up rookie I'm the boy [Music] championship rounds Phil Davis has gone the distance twice the by Brown distance he is one-on-one in those fights Bader went the distance five rounds and a non-title main event against open-sink crew and won by unanimous decision Jimmy howdy habit I've been three de not fulfilled Davis he landed the right hook left combos best sequence to the fight so far it's almost exclusively activity in the first two rounds he's just been a little busier he cannot feel good about the scorecard right now I don't feel good about it I'm not sure about the first two rounds even out of the three maybe but it's in fact that neither guys landed what she has done much for the judges to score that's the hard part it's a lot like their first fight we gotta fight come on here fight ends up running time in fight you know what happens not a lot of activity a lot of people right now giving ride Vader the first round shirt certainly good depends on what you're looking at opponent neither guy has had that decisive decisive man hasn't happened davus change levels there tried to come over the top waiter fights it off again [Music] the best punch best punch of the fight for him absolutely counter uppercut the combinations is there might catch his punches Phil tends to get out of position to the lead in the shots who's got balance a lot that to me and they cut the back of Heather just raised in five right now top of the hour ten in Eve's seven in the West it is the ultimate brunch max jail sign and Wanderlei Silva the jail and I were actually in the movie party was fun to work with something like quite the jokes you've actually got a lot of personality I don't know if you know that really yeah you probably a white guy mother talks yeah very very introverted yeah not to be selling away in there feels really trying to win that counter overhand right baby the question mark it [Music] so first title fight invaders animate for air he was always talking on the doors always right there couldn't get past that title contender match those are heavy [Music] doesn't they're trying to counterpunch 20 catch the guy off balance not good blessed initiating for the workshop one minute split jabs they talked about how much they improve how much they did like perspire this is what you get you get these two guys together them and help me take down speckled arches in the land couple of good knees landed in a midsection of Bader and it's probably 4 a.m. in sweeden right now round for the American gangster and the axe murderer collide live on pay-per-view still to come or coming up next however you want to say go however we do tonight Jim you get a blast fifth and final round Orion Bayonetta most significant strike to the of the round - rains a little bit better but once again a close one so overall you have it three rounds to one rear aims too long yeah but none of those rounds we're significantly in either guys camp when they lock up Ryan pitted just so much strong for this great press it may be slicked or a little more technical in its strength against strength Ryan bit and he flings him he's a very strong powerful dangerous dude and Aaron Simpson who fought professional MMA and was an assistant coach dad ASU with Cain Velasquez and CB Dollaway and Ryan said the Brian speed he's just a mean training partner being fighter hadn't been as mean as I would think the a-train would wanted to be thus far but he's got three minutes and 50 seconds to do so still just get me look to finish this and take all the mystery out of it now as a fighter when you take on something but somebody better and you get beat there's some solace in when you think it just didn't do nothing I just didn't quite do now that's a haunting feeling so far in this fight both guys can feel it with him he does really let it all out round five and that's how Phil met Phil felt pardon me about the first greenhouse could have done a little bit for ya this could go either way to the jasmine and either what either way would be appropriate but it's the guy who lost single man if I just finished a little stronger I've done a little bit for him very fit our Vader when they go okay that's a Davis win yeah I can argue that as well yeah fans excited for the pay-per-view The Last Emperor phaidor Bellator cage it is going to happen don't forget Wanderlei Silva Jill Sonnen two main events from here inside the metal past the midway point of the fifth and final round takedown number two for beta Rustom escape we also trying to turn and get guard cops right back to his feet just like wood just like you would like to Legion wrestling match later k keep him down that taken could give the edge of the story [Music] that's successful that counter uppercut that counter right hand with 90 seconds inability to manually follow up with most references made to Blanche South fall back Orthodox somebody really wings in the latest has been winging it a lot not able to connect nope there's the overhand right from Bader later has a big head has been just out of line then you just have to avoid the big man shots buildings under a minute [Music] Thunder [Music] I'm swelling under the left eye of Phil Davis later turning it up here in the film Ted Danson wasn't able to get that one to Phil Davis to come in that's why he's been more successful [Applause] final seconds of the fight [Music] they go the distance we will find out who will leave with the belt that is coming up next right here on Spike Jimmy our black heart premium spiced rum replay the bald 93 proof rum that's edgy to the core well unfortunately it looked a lot like the first fight both guys throwing not landing a whole lot of significant strikes Bill Davis trying to initiate Ryan Bader taking his time trying on counter punches getting a couple of takedowns but a lot of back-and-forth rounds with no decisive winner it's gonna be interesting to see what the judges have to say with the official decision Michael C Williams ladies you don't having all the distance will go to your three judges at cage side your first judge Sally Amato scores the fight 49 46 he sees the fight for Bader here second judge Jeff Mullen scores the fight 48-47 he sees the fight for Davis your third and final judge Derrick clearing scores to fight 49 to 46 for the winner by split decision and now the new

the bell and round one the fight clock is brought to you by Miller Lite the original light beer Cheers it's Miller time and it is the champion Lima in the red gloves the Challenger Larkin in the blue gloves and Jimmy both of these Warriors capable of stealing the other Sol with their striking prowess and they both know it there's a tremendous amount of respect between these two fighters [Music] surely feeling out process as Lima fires the first salvo go outside Lake kick to the lead leg of lorenz larkin known as monsoon and boy blew into Strikeforce opened up a lot of eyes and then of course went on to the the UFC where he leaves with a to fight winning streak winner of his four of his last five fights lots of momentum coming into this high-pressure Bellator debut Douglas infers weaknesses to his style he tends to over emphasize the power punches a lot of right hands a lot of left hooks doesn't jab that off guys starting with the leg kicks Larkin told us going five rounds is not a concern he feels that it's more of a mind game he just has to make sure his mind knows that he's ready to go all five as Lima with a body kick the one thing is Lehman has gone five rounds he's never won a five round decision he losted been asked me lost his horse coffees out wrestled in both of those fights and lost eight fire round decision so he hasn't exactly done well over 25 minutes either team backline unlike our main event or one of our two main events tonight between Chael Sonnen and better lay Silva there is mutual respect between these two gladiators and we're seeing it early on Jimmy a time shawn merriman he's checking us out it's a tough question ask anybody who has brokenness fight down it's hard to pick a winner in Lima and Larkin right hand down the middle by Lima social media buzzing for Bellator NYC live on pay-per-view and there's a Bellator veteran also using his fingers to tweet tonight he's back at his fellow champ no surprise there there's always that extra edge when you're a quote Bellator fighter and free agents commitment on defend your territory defend your promotion defend your belt nice check to that leg kick while we saw at the end of Bellator 180 live on Spike Ryan Bader defeating Phil Davis for the second time via split decision but this time he becomes the new Bellator light heavyweight champion lorenz larkin would like to continue that trend tonight under two minutes remaining here in the opening round a lot of faints a lot of stutter steps not a lot of contact yet Jimmy they're both so weary of the others power they both notes dismissed with one punch they don't want to walk into it then lame attacking the lead leg of lorenz larkin coming up on the final 90 seconds of the first frame scheduled for five for the Bellator welterweight championship nice one-time combination by Larkin that was quick lead right hand by the champion Lima to be hard to land it's a setup jab hook lay kicks Larkin switches to a southpaw stance [Music] switches back to orthodox trying to befuddle the champion Douglas Lima final 60 seconds of a getting-to-know-you round one right now give a slight slight slight edge to Lima his late kicks have been a little bit more effective and he has Larkin up against the fence momentarily Lima misses with that roundhouse kicks now Larkin coming in with a lead right hand followed up with the left in high-level welterweights with a pellet or 170 pound championship are you surprised at all by the stark gym no I'm not I expected to be a slow burns fight with a feel each other out maybe get going rounds two and three nice body kick oh right uppercut which allowed Lima to close the distance R and the left hand has worked and pinned against the fence in the final seconds of the opening round look at the leg kicks to me those were the most effective strikes of the first round and you see the Lehmann has checked a few and he came back with his own and they turned lorenz larkin a little bit the only real edge I saw in the fight incredibly close first round someone who was watching with vested interest Rory MacDonald my fellow Canadian who as well wanting to take fellow Bellator welterweights help couldn't have done a whole lot better against Paul semtex Daley he looked amazing in that fight an incredible Bellator MMA debut for Rory MacDonald what's his nickname these days I know he tends to change it every so often I think it's still the red keyboardist with the Canadian psycho ID logs the Canadian traction among us here in Bellator is throwing that out there is that I want to take it up with dead cold eyes it's the only thing you think of second round underway here between Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima and the Challenger Bellator MMA newcomer Lorenz Larkin and now Lima looking to try to establish the jab goes underneath the armpit with that right kick and then attacks the lead leg down low how did you score the opening five minutes Jimmy once even embarrassed of Marvins ten dynamic based on those leg kicks nice combination put together by Lorenz Larkin that's keep market which combinations getting to see the hand speed he is very very quick just out of range of that attack by Douglas Lima was Larkin Larkin pine at Lima with the jab trying to mesmerize him so he can follow up with something a little more vicious one is not gonna do it both these guys need to throw in combination as we've seen I mean the Senate tends to enjoy a line the straight right hands now Larkin common stance like the kick was blocked but an aggressive push spine Larkin who attacks the lead leg of Lima download 90 seconds gone in the second round market I'll start and open up the throw combinations riving lima back not much land there but showing that aggressiveness yeah the nose Eva picked picked off lock him there but yet Larkin punishing leave us nose in it's beginning to live plasma extended walkin connected with that right hand that caught the champions attention Larkin trying to impose his will and skill only minal market with the left Down Goes Larkin ground-and-pound from liebe shades of course Leibovitz lashing elbows as well as the champion dropped lorenz larkin with that nice left hook Rockets trying to keep him close you dug this thing you want to stand up and get back to strike he because he is hurt and Larkin doing his best to control Leamas posture inside the closed guard Lima very well balanced when it comes to his successful offense he does have 11 submission wins to go along with 13 ko victories he's what's all this man did have a guy hurt finish it with strikes expected ask and the battle is now his stay around with the ground in town interesting choice under two minutes left he passes the guard in the side control as Markham trying to scramble back to his feet he's able to do so good sequence for the Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima that was almost finished right there Morrow make no mistake and again the lead left hook by Lima looks tired though I think he spent a lot of energy trying to get the finish there given the Reds Larkin time to clear his head nice kick Larkin has tasted defeat on five occasions including being stopped once in his career via strikes but Lima unable to finish him here in round two the final minute now the second round we were walking down Larkin Larkin keeping at bay with that fine jab as again Lima goes to that lead left hook to do as he can't just throw the straight punches were blocked by Larkin Luke delivers a right cross of his own final 30 seconds of the second round Larkin just missed with that right uppercut and almost got clipped with that right cross from Lima again Lima changing up his attack attacking that lead leg attacking the base both guys have shown that they have speed and finishing ability in this round good round for the champion Lima look at it here Lima was coming Leo Lima had eaten some good shots but look at it here think it's the left hook just like course go right on the chin that drop Larkin but he wasn't able to finish Larkin was able to clear his head and get back in this fight be careful when you have Douglas Lima cornered he is like a cornered animal he will fight back that's what course COFF found out the hard way that's why I lead was the Champa emotion knockouts in Bellator history with eight would love to put Lorenz Larkin on ice and Larkins Bellator MMA debut had an opportunity there in the second round but Larkin has proven to be resilience in his past MMA career and comes into his first MMA fight for Bellator with plenty of momentum round three underway one thing you have to keep in mind is there though this in attends to fight in spurts gets reacted to breaks like he's worried about his gas tank body kicked by Lima Larkin told us that he feels he's more of a fluid striker where Leamas more of a powerhouse Larkin feels that he doesn't throw a lot of crazy strikes speaking about the champion but he's a powerhouse so any of his strikes could knock you out he doesn't use a lot of setups yet very very basic comes in one two three faith in that right knee leg kicks right hand has the meat and potatoes of his office we see no time which is to back off take little breaks then he'll lunch four and that's where Larkin has to take advantage of those opportunities he's got to be active when Lima is inactive another body kicked by Lima Larkin back in a southpaw stance how did you ask around to mr. Smith much easier ten nine for Lima really had Larkin hurt that to move by largely keep Lima close on the ground get his breath back get back into the fight in the state lead right hand attack him the shoulder there was Lehman again that body kicked a Larkin from the southpaw stance circling to his right where he has been clipped with that left hook yes they got the psychological aspect too he was moving forward he's landing a combination that Bank Lima hits it in Mike Stifel life on the Larkins offense just a little bit everything was looking good right he got dropped Larkin content and stain in the southpaw stance busy trying to establish that right jab inside low kick by the champion Lima grew up watching movies like kickboxer inspiring him to fight and using his kicks definitely tonight his right hand what does Larkin have to do a better job of as this fight progresses in terms of trying to close the distance on the championship angle then attacked right now he's angling on the outside defenseman guitar for levy to get a read on it the a steamers cut angle and then come in when he was up prepared and Lima just planted another skip jab on the mug of lorenz larkin [Music] coming up next many call him the next big thing in mixed martial arts it's the much-ballyhooed debut a 20 year old Aaron Pico whose playpen well might as well have been a wrestling mat right yeah very true started very young basically skipped his high school and college years went straight to try to make the Olympic team came to the point of literally bred to be a mixed martial artist started boxing at a young age and will make his pro debut tonight as Larkin landed that left body Kick to the champion Lima so far Leamas landed a little bit cleaner pushed him back and of course we can't discount the altar boys at Freeland would love to spoil Aaron Pecos professional debut coming up 82 that has real experience under a minute and a half left here in round 3 body kick bod liebe having trouble navigating through the defensive that was in yeah another good ray got caught with another right hand from the champion up loosely mas and I think leader to his part has been less active but more effective and ApS grown it's it's driven back sportsmanship there by the doctors blogs with market that may have been just below the equator jab by Larkin but Larkins scouting report seems to be proving to be accurate thus far Jimmy in terms of Lima just loading up on all good shots but he's been able to catch those strikes [Music] final 20 seconds of the third round here at Madison Square Garden the mecca of combat sports and Lima Drive would Lord on Lorcan to punctuate his performance in the round I had the pleasure of covering this man's legendary career in Japan for the Pride Fighting Championships where he went undefeated in 15 fights he is - no since ending his three-year retirement in 2015 comes in to Bellator with a five fight win streak he is fedor emelianenko incredible power incredible ability incredible athletes right there in Matt Mitrione a big heavyweight but light on his feet good angles good combinations this is the biggest test of his career gets Fedor Emelianenko we'd love to have that name on his list of wins that's one of our two main events coming your way later tonight Vader's Bellator debut against Matt Mitrione who was - an O in the Bellator MMA cage get off it's the penultimate round in this five round championship affair and Jimmy I know we just started working together but I think I can read your mind do you have the champion pitching a shutout thus far thus far yes round one could easily go either way I thought round 2 of course he heard him round 3 he just landed the more effective strikes Larkin was busier however bundles raid on the champion in the red gloves the Challenger lorenz larkin in his Bellator debut sporting the blue gloves and he needs to see an uptick in his offense has to try to solve the path to the champion Douglas Leeman has to find a way to negotiate that distance Jim Lima has been affected free market hasn't had a link to his back to get toward the fence he's been a little crowded that latina has really unloaded Lima continues to take potshots at the lead leg talk about that strategy and how effective it can be Jimmy Brown store five that Lake just won't work yet returned moving really shuts down a guy cuts angles which lorenz larkin loves to do kick right arm up Douglas Lima but single shots Jimmy aren't going to get it done basic which I knew he gently throws the right handle the top left hooks and leg kicks but always kept his hands high doesn't play that much the droplet on the outside and he's in close he keeps those hands very very high and that's something we haven't seen a lot of in terms of punches to the body we've seen body picks but I saw Lima changes trajectory and begin to attack the midriff of lorenz larkin won against this fourth round lorenz larkin he burns it up he needs these championship rounds one of the first we could have easily gone his way to the judges he never know just like Mars back in the day Jimmy Larkin needs to pump up that volume if the leader left or drives an old score everybody hey I'm almost 50 50 years young we are just past the midpoint of round number four Lima continues to walk down Larkin in that southpaw stance and landing the jab the fans at home and joined the action and we have seen spurts of that back and forth action but I don't think we've seen the fistic fireworks that we anticipated and there are a few reasons why Jim get a lot of respect both guys are tricky opponents especially Larkin the angles a lot hard to get a read on it oh there's a left hook and a left kick the lands for Larkin are getting a little busier in this fourth round I've made very loved and his best sustained offense now lorenz larkin doesn't move at Douglas Leeman spaces just done but what bug listen has done is his medium punch at Olympus case he has been that busy with his hands again the lead right hand by Lima scores and then he lands the jab always wanted to his bats off that he's been less effective I think in this fourth round Lima has thrown like it hit the first 3 front kick by Lorenz Larkin sidekick oblique kick there by Larkin coming up on the final minute of the fourth round and Larkin beginning to loosen up a bit during round 4 again statistics if he presses prior to the takedown so far from home and tried to be shot see if you get him to the ground maybe I suppose round sharp body kicked by Lima Larkin double puffing the jab coming in but it's tripped up on the champion and now in the open guard Douglas Lila will try to capitalize on this situation as again Larkin immediately controls the jacket guard this is a closed round let's he maybe get a little offense going turning his way Larkin while walking back to a vertical base now turning the champion up against the fence final few seconds of what has been Lorenz Larkins best round it has it been enough to get the round on Jimmy Smith scorecard will find up and lorenz larkin turning it up a little bit more - look at that once again you get Lima corner he's gonna fire back especially with that left hook it didn't land whose head with a push Larkin backing get on top but throughout that fourth round lorenz larkin a little bit busier Douglas Lima kind of took the round off his it in for like he did in the first three two MMA icons to Huntington Beach bad-boy Tito Ortiz and the man who once spanked Tito Ortiz relatively literally my man so great to see MMA luminaries here at cage side for what is the biggest night in Bellator MMA history it is about legends it's about champions and coming up next will it be about the most talked about prospects were in MMA aaron vehicle right now it's all about the Bellator welterweight championship as we head into the fifth and final round sportsmanship lots of respect so did lorenz larkin finally get a round on your unofficial scorecard children yeah I believe he did I gave him around ten nine once again extremely close on Jimmy's scorecard you have it 4947 for the champion so and now knowing honestly you are one of the best of what you're doing it's not easy we're trying to tell the story of the fight and you are all good job babe on the bandsaw job it's a thankless task Twitter it's a thankless job that's if that's the case market needs to really close the show here in the fifth frame snap kick by liebe really decisive you might have to use ground to hurt him knocked him down couldn't finish him other allele I think a little more effective but lorenz larkin a lot busier Arkan trying to cut off the the cage try to walk down the champions fine at him with the jab needs to put together a combination after 20 minutes of action wow this is how close this fight is according to cop you strike dead even in terms of armed strikes landed and almost in terms of punch it's wrong that's incredible so we expected it to be a hotly contested competitive affair and the numbers bear that out [Music] jumping is trained in the knife chanath i Larkin Larkin also very creative for the hairstyle always up representing his hometown of Riverside California thought Belle would love to bring champion Douglas leave us Belle here in the fifth frame honey and the mag great team out there been out there forever midpoint of the fifth and final round Lima lands to chaff mark him back to a southpaw stance does this Bolivian jibing fighting has a left hand I think anything that changed up and maybe opens up Leland is a good idea he hasn't really been able to get past the defense yet the left hand coming in disgrace him with again coming up on the final two minutes of this championship fight for the Bellator welterweight crown body kick against scores for Lima yes again with the left hook which has been his his money punch so far this fight blind him with the flurry of jabs under two minutes this is where to have something to take you gotta spend it punches home again and it looks like Larkin is trying to do that us that has to be cognizant time becoming potentially is most enemy 90 seconds left in the fight to get that lead weapon by the sense of urgency definitely in the body languages with the challenge of market leavehim can feel great about the scorecards be out of close rounds hasn't been very active in rounds form but a nice leg kid again we can both do it we are just getting started here on paper Bellator NYC

get space by the positioning tips in between right and this does prove sudden though to keep such a silver there against the fence it's all real estate he's content to just keep peppering away here in the final minute of round number two the Lord might have the stings they had in the opening round the chance their positionally Domini he's too tight into a full-fledged punt on the set of The

Why are Chael and Fedor opposite each other as if they’re the ones fighting? God why does Bellator have to be so weird

I was at this card. Had never heard a crowd boo as loudly as they did for the Bader vs Davis title match.
