foot eight weighing in wonder forty five pounds even her professional record undefeated three victories no defeats fighting beam [Music] [Music] so Kevin MacDonald's our referee Portugal's Felipa against Israel's Ruby [Music] here we go blue gloves for Portugal's Johanna Filipa red gloves for Israel's Olga Ruben both women sell pause one thing to keep in mind South boss don't see south pause any more than Orthodox fighters who's not necessarily easier it's awesome for them to fight South boss doing all the room being fought last year right in this building for Bellator and earned a first round victory TKO win now what this means to southpaw fighters a jab much more useful then it gently would be southpaw Orthodox they're always trading power punches use the jab much more effectively against another southpaw Joana Filippo just 22 years old making her professional debut she's in the blue gloves red gloves as I mentioned three and all all the Ruby bigger in there there she looks to use it put Felipa against the fence make her feel that size and strength disparity two of her three professional wins have come in the first round the other victory went to decision [Applause] Filipa trying to move away from the cage testing its position to do that equal position right now at over-under grip trying to Felipa trying to stay busy with those knees now what's an advantage in MMA well it's where you use it if you're bigger and stronger put her against the fish you'll feel that size and strength a lot more you see that's what Rubens doing she's trying to work hard for the takedown that's it now is just wrenching her to the right not much subtlety to that take yeah that was upper-body control exactly what it was bad spot for Johanna Felipa [Applause] looking for some ground-and-pound here sitting up getting good range on that right side postures up Filipa up against the cage it's a miserable place to be right now no room it would get full guard still so far no answer for the physical pressure of routine she's just putting it on earth Polly bud does get to full guard Jim not only helps you to do something with it yes full guard is attached to your opponent's trying to spin out of trouble here early three minutes into round number one right side she's the angular hips me keep the head up against the fence Ruben staying very busy close guard looking to posture up once again [Applause] I'll be throwing down some heavy ground-and-pound and it's because to me she's able to posture up and exactly able to kiss exactly the right distance she's just active she's not letting feel it but get any rest and so far no guard work from field but she hasn't walked her legs up hasn't gone for anything hasn't given Ravine a reason to stop punching flipping submissions that fit submission and makes your point worrying about what's coming about your office so far that hasn't happened I'm trying to push way get space on the defensive half guard helper goes for the sweep if we got on top good adjustment made by an although ruby final minute of the round she was looking for the mounted crucifix a moment ago she's taken away the space here got back to barber like I said it's only an accomplishment if you you're able to use it professional debut for the 22 year old and she's had the fight from her back pretty much this entire round fifteen seconds [Applause] closing the cart again final seconds of round number one and a big round for older Ruby fighting at home here in Tel Aviv for the second time inside the Bellator cage all the Ruby big round number one she had top position but Johanna Filipa still alive in this fight and ready to battle here in round number two southpaw argent southpaw [Music] let's see how Johanna Filipa adjusts here especially early Jimmy in round number two well she can't get in those clinch positions she's just getting bullied up against the fence is where this all started she wants to keep it in the center of the cage that's the second counter with that level she has to step in give her being a reason to not come forwards right now hasn't given it to her this is where she's got to be careful exactly that's where Ruben rushes as soon as she gets her against the fence and she closes that distance isn't worried about the counter shot pretty much an upper body takedown on round number one good knees by Olga Ruby take Kennedy to your little brothers lock him up and throw him and we mentioned we saw it on the tail of the tape Jimmy she is the much stronger fighter and a much more of a physical prep physical presence at 5-8 145 she's definitely been the bully in there so far Johanna Felipa weighing at 136 Filipa trying to stay very wide with her legs to avoid being taken down look at that once again just kind of knocking her over lost her balance there for second nice knee to the body and she that nights and then old leisure down exactly that the body could have taken her legs out from under her for a second now sees exactly where she doesn't want to be I thought that first round was ten eight I was dominant [Applause] up against the cage in your professional debut in your opponent's hometown not a lot of fun all of those things very very bad yes indeed as we mentioned all the reuben three-and-oh in their professional career and you haven't gotten that sense that Philippe has gotten Rubens respect that she's done anything that Rubens had to think about that's been particularly dangerous let's made a thing I got to watch out for that hasn't happened yet have to have that moment a competitive fight just past the midway point love this three round battle from the top and be looking to throw down some elbows and some fish from the side good shots there [Applause] hammerfist [Applause] good stuff and not letting off on that physical pressure triangle right there but Philippe I'm not able to lock it up not able to get close trying to scramble out of trouble look at that trap in the arm Filipa has to bump her hips get that right arm out side control lots of time 90 seconds trying to get the arm the mounted crucifix second round she's been in survival mode as one arm trap working for the other one finishing the strikes right here something doing they'll do beam hammering away stops the fight in round number two help devout teach control for all the Reuben all about being the bigger stronger fighter and knowing it from the beginning she fought like the bigger stronger more experienced fighter [Applause] [Music] this was the crucifix look at that right arm crap nothing but left hands couldn't get her head around it completely but it didn't matter those short left hands right to the temples that was all she wrote Ruby the cheese release and to the bully region was tonight fair enough Jimmy it was when she was able to trap that arm as you mentioned that was the beginning of the SP in the ocean defend this good ground pound around one and half way through round two it was when she had that one arm trapped that it became quite stopping kind of damage second round TKO for Tel Aviv zone to make it official here's Michael C Williams ladies gentlemen inside the Bellator cage it comes to an end officially three minutes 46 seconds into round number two the winner by TKO [Music] four-and-oh as a professional too and on the Bellator cage here in her hometown of Tel Aviv the menorah milk aji marina in Tel Aviv Israel our next matchup in the welterweight division our tale of the tape for Shimon Ghosh and Francisco Silva and look at the experience difference gauche 5 into Silva 1 and O with the official introductions once again Michael C Williams three pounds his professional record water and originally from Brazil you fights now out of Cyprus presenting Francisco f-five put a 20 in 169 and 1/2 pounds his professional record five victories two losses fighting out of who goes she's representing Shiva Todd Anderson our referee as we get set for this welterweight fight gauche Silva here we go they touch gloves blue gloves for the Brazilian now fighting out of cypress Francisco Silva red gloves for Shimon gauche this crowd so much behind gauche will he use that energy early that's the question you know this crowd being so frenzied you come in with so much juice so much energy how do you spend it that's the question don't want to have that adrenaline die exactly those looks pretty relaxed though Silva won you know in his pro career both men fighting in the Bellator cage for the first time great crowd here at the menorah myth kahe marina so far Silva letting go SH be the initiator I tried to come over the top with some counters Gosha has finished all five of his professional victories for by submission one by knockout [Music] both times seemed to want a counter neither one really wants to be the initiator in this fight so far like they both came in with a countering gameplan times acne the problem you have to counter strikers nobody beat no one wants to be the first one to take the risk [Applause] Bose has had some success with the lake cake surprises and come back to it again especially cuz both guys are coming out of punching range yep silver with the kid okay he showed a potential spin earlier neither fighter taking over yet here in round number one both cups just more comfortable countering and so I don't want to be the one to jump in there first like I said that's when you take the first risk somebody's got to start so they can counter and then they can counter encounter again he's done well with that late kick - but has him turn it that much only once or twice that leg kick to the lower lead leg of your opponent has become very popular great movies are just out of punching range chop Turpin don't get them moving there's these hurt three minutes into round number one grand cooing in a Miss by Bush that's a commitment with the right habit too far out for that didn't set it up with anything these are two big welterweights 43 year-old Francisco Silva and 39 year old she moans gauche second time he's painted with that spin he hasn't done it the guy really used in the lead hand very much a lot of jabs not a lot of faints switch kick but way out of range no set up set it up any other office one professional knockout or gauche and the combination by the Brazilian see if gauche wants to play the ground game he kind of mostly who's gonna let him up and then went in I'm up gotta back off he's not doing that yeah silver say come on come on [Applause] 40 seconds on the clock round number one fighting out of a bush Israel Shimon Goshen the red gloves Francisco Silva the Brazilian in the blue gloves those convenient for you as a competition is also very strong I have one more that's it said if I get it right this way I can get it right this way I'm sure his parents had you in mind so Vaughn an act late in round number one Mike Goldberg Jimmy Smith we are set for the start of round number two [Music] Francisco Silva and Shimon Ghosh look for the overhand right from gauche and look for a spin by Francisco Silva those just went into South walkthrough that kick now see if it nerves a settle down of it really cautious in round one give to gauche barely just did a little bit more there's the spin way too far out Silva has this menacing on his face when you're fighting the guys my limits that light a lot of times an invitation to come in it's you know you're almost dare you're about to throw something I think a lot of a lot of it is his warm-up wants ghost to initiate that's why you see that kind of end but problem is when you do that you better back it up big-time Silva into the southpaw stance ghost goes right up the middle [Applause] [Music] Sylva trying to establish some rain chair and he switches back to Orthodox man go and build o bryd example usually sets it up when they stuff and you start out with spinning so kind of throws a lot of stuff at you and the spinning stuff gets lost in the mix you're not ready for the time Hammond the spin is not Telegraph exactly go swim in the uber and Ryan's the big movement you can throw in the spinning take Cypress Francisco Silva we're gonna take this fight to the map just missing not music watch the right hand of Shimon Ghosh I'm guessing that's what Silva's corner said between Zachos he likes to load up there it is given we're gonna change levels a little bit I see big overhand right and granted he hasn't connected yet and I just think Dan Henderson yeah that's exists that's his route yeah 100% always in the fight first min to last minutes what you have to worry about eh Bob Silva inside head dip and right hand easily sets up he's taken silent even if he misses it's still a great tip he puts him right where he wants to be also has a nice left hook off that right so it's what he does around if it's really impressed in that load kick from the left side and then he connects with the Rights Act close guard ghosts looking to posture up Sylva initiated the crown game but it's Goshen in top position [Music] Jim you said round one to go a bit more [Applause] you see here on the ground it's mitigating the damage well hasn't eaten anything big but you don't win fights just by not getting hurt hurt your opponent gotta get your offense going walking this way [Applause] just enough possibly could growling pound Todd Anderson right there yep so we're trying to stay alive here Bob with hold on that legs can't blocking the right side even go through the G bar let it go crap we magically hang on that forever look through sweet this is not a graphing matching get your right arm caught under that leg spin that's our central role D bar that is hips to 30 seconds hips are not in great position to finish this cautious leg between easy stall for next 15 seconds and another round for shima-ya I have news put weight on the flame jutsu for beginners he's going after leg boy a winner [Applause] Ezreal zone Kosh impressive in the second five minutes remain in this welterweight fight who will win their Bellator debut final five minutes blue gloves for Francisco Silva red gloves for Shimon Ghosh that's hey if I'm Silva I gotta get a little less friendly in this third round came out smiling faking a little capoeira so far he's getting that worked see what adjustments he may make here early in round three might not be able to wait for that counter opportunity [Applause] and again he is on top on the ground and pound different strategies depending on which way you want to go you have to factor in where your opponent is on the key that'll define where you put their hips the press you want to put it whether you want to right now ground and perhaps a shirt looking a posture up a lot of fighters prefer half guard so pretty new that evening to pass I think it's easier the side control Randy Couture [Applause] and Silva has nowhere to go when he's on the mat like that eat that right hands [Music] kamo Steph Petrocelli the sage they can do the legs landed with the right hand retired subcultures element exactly from this position just body head Silva looked like he was waiting then try to lock down the arm of gauche when he came in aggressively but I'm able to do so now angling for the armbar trying to isolate the arm left arm of gauche but not really a position to do that cage is going to get his way total control for Israel's she Bongo Shin posturing up midway point of the third and final round time how bad do you want to win [Music] 43 year-old Francisco Silva in the final two minutes here see if force is gonna let him uh forget about Berkeley well this is your chance Francisco is that that's the way I saw him you know you got a chest finish on top around the pound this fights over Joe was still with the punches chance here [Music] artpool basically flop it right to his back two minutes left to make the moves like that in a fight that you're down in exactly we need to knock him out order win Todd Anderson switched it up get up on their feet top control ground-and-pound throughout this fight for shamone ghosh stuff blow something up offensively though you haven't seen this entire fight under a minute now pom is European state doesn't have to move forward his Jimmy Manchin Ghosh has finished all five of his professional victories this one may go to the judges scorecards Oh seems content to let it go they're backing up and around that he's far far ahead and if you're Silva there's got to be some urgency here though expect ghosts to come in and bang [Music] final 15 seconds 10 seconds in the fight [Music] she mongoose and francisco silva in their bellator debuts late the full 15 minutes here in tel aviv the official decision when we come back welcome back this fight goes the distance gauche and silva with the official decision Michael C Williams ladies

launch of the Brazilian fighters lives in Phoenix very close with the Olympian Henry cejudo when you look at me they weighed in about the same of Moshe is trite antic for his weight class that is a big dude and a late Epona change for both Ben Carell Medvedev ski was the original opponent for hoe shop which I moved up on our prelim cart Jimmy and they will battle right here right now Moshe didn't believe he had an opponent very disappointed and then shy his opponent backed out and here they are Center the cage is it a that spot slip a little bit good sportsmanship from OSHA I switch kick oh sure right now just take in the center taking his time a little bit like his mentor's the pitbull brothers have caught their last few fights like this wait they've been the patient ones they've been the counter punchers but when they attack they are ultra aggressive I couldn't hit by lightning yep no particular people used to be a really aggressive fighter start out really really strong if you got countered a couple times made some bad mistakes can't change his style to be more than counter punchers worked very well for him from aggressive to aggressor yeah exactly southpaw stands for Xhosa see if we witness that closing speed that patrizii told you about Jimmy and keep in mind is it a snow star like this or a methodical pace occur Xhosa kind of takes the crowd out of it got another screaming at first but you wait take a slow of it it loads them down all that energy goes away oh nice kick both sigh so far just picking spots Oh should three in one that's a crow 28 years old also 28 his point two and one as I mentioned he fought here inside the menorah myth cahiim arena one year ago for Bellator another kick just past the midway point around number one shot has to find his own offense right now is just waiting on the outside looking for opportunity to get in but not creating one himself doing the outside guy or range you got a fast guy that doesn't work shai has finished both of his wins Pacha won by knockout - by decision [Applause] sy has to put punches together to overcome that range disparity that size is very nice quick kick again I'm just starting to get red one punch will not get you there keep a look at the stance of miso chef rod East is very very tall yep looking at spinning stuff with kicks Oh Maya there's another quick one question mark kick almost and up the middle I stopped to see this town back into fashion Mme Stephen Thompson Gregor a little more karate base that's stances of the little bit straighter a second though that right now that cost their shot first off it's by side yeah Elmo chai looking to put something together here Lee in round number one oh shut up I'm trying to clear his head [Music] those guys trying to close some knees here nicely done on the exit fifteen seconds good stuff late in round one for Israel's Elmo shy round 2 when we come back and around that was going to host us way look at this right hand boom buck with a good recovery came right back when I was a nice right hand and what you have to wonder about remember we are in Israel this is an Israeli fighter holschuh didn't let anything big I thought he won the first round we didn't let anything big and shy did they're pointing out the area that's a little slippery for some reason warned him to stay away from it but you gotta wonder if you're in hotels corner hey he might have won that first round just with that right hand absolutely especially landing that right hand in the latter part of the round judges tend to remember the latter part of the five minutes remember the end my advice Pete fight like you lost the first round whether you did or not fight like you lost the first round not panic mode Bell but in aggressive mode watch for those kicks of the Brazilian Xhosa shy fight with a little bit more confidence they didn't round one after that right hand he feels like he can maybe do some damage here it's very hesitant the first part of that first round the treaty pit bull and hoshin er main event was initially scheduled as the rematch between his brother Patricio and Daniel glacial health-cost is that one hopefully we will see that matchup soon surprise yes a palm to the ground wait a lot of power in that low leg kick sweeping shot mosha is locked and loaded lazy with that lead hint even though the overhand right the calmer one hasn't woken him up and turned his defense chin still very high hand very low bad combination [Applause] two minutes in to round number two he tried to throw his own kids I don't see much of the punches of hosh eyes being contented stay on the outside and kick nice kid to the low leg the first one you kind of wondered was it just a low kick that he wasn't expecting that one that one for sure see he was determined as a sweep thence appointed to the ground kick the leg right off front of him and I was got him overreacting stepping back to yes switching to southpaw watch for the body kick straight left we'd get those pop judge was like critique you talked about he looks like he's out of range jumps in and hits you with a power shot when he hasn't done well as is combo off back when you strike like that from the outside loving who's hard to throw more than one you find yourself back outside of range again momentum now in the Brazilians corner after those two low leg kicks that swept shy right down at the canvas ninety seconds remain in round two round one was very close cow milk Shia Zuri fighter when high with the tick again kosha able to get out of dangerous range look at that physical disparity since they locked up you know which ones the stronger guy but drinky in his corner here in Tel Aviv doesn't keep him there my close distance and throw some hands but chai tried that right hand again partner so I went out working around one thirty seconds swinging to miss making a Miss he's not making him pay kind of wants to reset back to this position we're in computable part with the legs but he doesn't really kill him at the hands rate hasn't so far like that guy kicks lands right in front of him especially with his hands now yeah so far not taking advantage much more comfortable to feet than with the hands applying need ground to in the books instructions in both corners put your hands together as we go who'd you like in round number two definitely holschuh thought he took at ten nine [Music] five minutes remain blue gloves for the Brazilian red gloves for the Israeli fighter that is mouthpiece so how do you have it scored overall I have it two rounds to none I thought pitbull took I'm sorry pitbulls fighter hosts them together first around already had the whole shot two ounce to none let's see what answer Elmo shai might have as he looks to win once again inside the Bellator cage you see the stance and the stat kick karate stance 100% if your host you don't want inactive rounds that you know could go either way I taste taking on a hometown guy you want to finish rounds we heard him back him up put your stamp on it every time and even round - I thought around that host I clearly won shy got more active toward the end of the round and he did so in round number one neither fighter should be confident yeah that they're up to Oh right now I can't feel great about it know who's running at you doesn't even throw a jab at him wants to reset back to this position on something really needs to work on first fight here in Bellator for hosho the tall Brazil his home ice left and over the top two minutes into the third [Music] caught him coming in saying he waits he hits them in the deal most he bounces him off the fence and he waits and resets doesn't take advantage of those mobile true my tap shy really hurt you'd like to see some punches and bunches exactly so one thing we missing from his arsenal becomes the striking is has it got hurt he only throws one punch only throws one shot likes this reset range he has almost no use for his lead hands right there quick power shot yeah no jab no hook over the top from the southpaw stance again by HOSA jab Han has just been a measuring stick he has shown us that he's very comfortable in the Orthodox or the southpaw stance outside trip good turn by Xhosa not the throw couldn't keep the position chai threw him down Hoshi ends up on top job get back to full guard Louise holschuh has Elmo shy pushed up against the facts 115 in the third and final round right now is showing a lot of respect for the ground game of shine I'm trying to posture up leave anything behind seems right now continue to stay safe see the ref letting this go on much longer 60 seconds stop up we go let's go Todd Anderson stands them up with 45 on the clock [Applause] shai with the right hand and check from holeshot [Applause] chhai showing a bit of desperation here easy turn and take down by Xhosa again final seconds of this fight and they go the distance the crowd

Holtz I want to see what she's got one thing about Q Holtz his style not a lot of knockouts generally wins by decision doesn't have that big one-shot power even in kickboxing she just got clipped with the right hand early black belt in judo former member of the Dutch national judo team kill Holtz the five-time world kickboxing champion Sharpe combinations good stuff Middleton wants none of that there's the judo Pro head and arm that can be dangerous in MMA though she pulls her head out she can take her back trying to extend the arm going from the armbar from that position problem is the hips aren't exactly in the right spot to finish it so she's trying to extend the left arm of Middleton Middleton has one hook in pull her head out and take the back Denis steel holds Thomas she spent the last three months working on her ground house [Applause] Holmes by submissions write a kickboxing world champion who won by submission in the first round off ahead and arm throw straight to the armbar great stuff how good is that and an emotional Denise kilos and it started with the combination she was doing a great job on the beat and that's when Middleton went in for the clinch not expecting the throw but here's how it ended look at that arm stretch hip got over it and that was it take a look at it again able to sit out as soon as you say with that back so you can cover the arm with your

opinion learning his bands exactly where he doesn't want to be already one hook in they are dry only a minute and a half in Radcliff trying to protect himself so careful problem is it's hard to

bit stronger positions like this his home is Israel but he trains in Las Vegas with Robert Wallace Jimmy Zimmerman trains at the Dewey Cooper with Julie Cooper at the Mayweather gym little time with Robert Drysdale waha facing laviano who was a black belt under Alexander Crispin who was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro was going straight back against an opponent who watched to put you on the fence you have to angle off you're gonna find yourself backed against the fence all the time you find your lip your movement limited laviano spend some time sparring with Andre Ward the 2004 gold medalist just you know outstanding boxer perfect record recently retired [Applause] as they meet for some striking and laviano says not so fast likes baton him thrown those hands down just missed with that Jack Thomas that move off Fallon yep had the up kick ends upon his back good job getting guard back cuz he had him over that right leg for a second like he was gonna pass a lob Yahoo got his guard back you talk about both guys having jujitsu skills what's the difference be on top yes you know that's the difference maker it's all the hot on top he has the option of going jiu-jitsu or going to his ground-and-pound Aviano right now going close guard for a second about walking his legs up nah-ha spent about seven years at AKA crazy Bob cooking company since has gone to extreme couture good job locking him down no guard past yet from a hot a little tiny efforts at ground-and-pound but nothing big you see La Vie Allen able to lock him down keep his posture low want the want to get your posture back some separation it really get grounded pound laviano so far not allowing that laviano instructors we talked about Alexander Crispin is a health Gracie black belt - keep him hot this close to him negates his own submission game the hot trying to posture up and work his way three laviano doing an excellent job of controlling the posture of lejana mom as we haven't seen much offense from him he's on the bottom the hots on top for most judges that's winning the round period final 10 seconds of round number one Josh fish with the elbow that arise out of the crowd he hit the canvas with his fist that's what you heard Carmina Zandt commercial-free here on Spike this is why the fight ended up on the ground whimpers hi jinkx lost his footing cielo hot almost passing to lobby almost right side them Robbie I believe this guard back from there not a lot going on short round in town slams look good but you just lift him up dropping him cost you a little bit of energy crowds love it but not able to pass not able to get any you know serious why tending ground in town going but I definitely think you won the round so you scored 10 9 and 9 Nevada hot round one in the books Kevin McDonald talking about the fingers around the eyes good control here in the cage round 2 laviano comes out firing it's got the blue gloves well hot the Israeli fighter and the red gloves just ate an uppercut avianna needs to make this tape and I was tell him to meet him right in the center going for the takedown yeah lot of gamesmanship in this way eat of the cup yep that landed in unfortunate place don't expect this crowd to be exceptionally patients with laviano five minutes is five minutes it was a knee in the clinch Moo yep there it is [Applause] what la hot is not doing this he's not letting himself get long into a brawl a battle pointing at the ground saying come meet me what's he doing going for the takedown still using a smart play nice right hand over the top by laviano laviano said I'd like to stand aiya life to be exciting I go out there and try to win and he is turning up the pressure here early in round two now the hot content to throw some punches changing it up a little bit [Applause] they clinched in the center of the cage again and now the hot put some pressure on laviano on the fence someone is cut can't see exactly who the blood on the arm of avianna [Applause] jido background really helps positions after those Nick Rosen trips of such a factor Jeremih laviano avoiding the takedown he was until you said pigs so you weren't wrong it's like saying shut out on the third period of a hockey game I don't understand that metaphor my other partner didn't understand it's like fighting some hats on the exact watch ever man skip straight to the fighting goals and stuff there you go half guard position a little more advanced than mehat was able to get in round one the lobby I'm still choosing that lockdown position not going for a lot of submissions close [Applause] get back to his feet using the fence good job by the hot pulling him turning it right against the fence and his back isn't on it the hot said his entire family still lives here in Israel he had been away for about five months had back-to-back fights Chicago and Verona but he is home and he wants to be home for Christmas he'd like a win to celebrate the holiday season the December with Hanukkah and Christmas would be a joy for know oddly hot here at home this has got to get something done it was sweep her get back to full guard turn and get back to his feet a lot of pressure by no habla hot the hot began training in Brazilian Jujitsu after he served in the military [Music] Lavie Ahnold trying to push himself away from the fence very deep Bart's position knows that you other one in the back of the head hey my name is you quite sure this [Applause] [Music] getting time out for a foul right just hang here with me I'll be back in a minute you'd be surprised we saw point deduction here Jimmy take a look at it he says had targeted the year let's see who's right [Music] it was pretty close you see he's trying to target the far ear but yeah I could see it either way I see why he called the foul but I see how he was trying to maybe get around to the ear but the referees calls head it was to the back of the head Kevin McDonald target both fighters [Music] yes [Music] taking away the point why you imagine what a but but another thing is is that to keep in mind is the gamesmanship before the fight when you know referees talk about the instructions you're pushing toward your guy the refs looking out for fouls and I'm gonna be real tolerant his stuff and he took away the point there we go a little bit lately takes it away could be huge in a close fight to separate fouls that's a judgment calls to whether or not to take point but when you were mugged in the beginning when you were all hostile when the the the directions being given referees gonna maybe take away a point because of that with that in mind let me put that way McKenna McDonald talked to both men thought about it and he did deduct one point from NOLA Hodge to the legal strap Kimura here the high crotch [Applause] it's hard he can take the back they can foot block heel hook position it's tight as a good one trying to spin his way out of it now going in Verde that's deeper inverted is more dangerous Lobby on I'm trying to kick his way out seem trying to extend his right foot he twists them both up does another leg lock there a lot of options here final seconds around to the hot looking to lock something down and counter leg lock by laviano but good kick-out by lo hot we stay right here our main event inside the menorah myth cahiim arena five minutes remain good body Lala promised that Lobby I know has done a good job when he's throwing punches in the center of the cage hasn't really able to keep it there when the house should take laviano down [Applause] there was some back-and-forth with him in Gallaher and then with laviano atla-hi in he told us Jimmy he doesn't take anything personally exactly but he says LaHood has tried to make this fight personal knows what kind of energy that brings to a fight you know talk about smacking a guy in the cage because you're happy with it I can say it doesn't take a person but there's an edge to this fight for sure high on the fence this time for a takedown of his own he has to be able to get top position some head fighting here turn it and he did the boy said Robert Wallace listen to him said pull him out and sit him down it's exactly what happened to me that's one of those things that is oftentimes understated being right there next to your team and being a good listener you know an experienced fighters guys succeed at the high level they listen to their coaches no Idol AHA told us he always made sure to fix what is broken it's been a big learning curve for both men with 11 professional winds [Music] other foot push the thigh down [Applause] nice job here just past the midway point of our third and final round got the past week circled with his leg ended up back in half guard [Music] [Applause] top control much like ground one tool aha [Music] amazing to be on the first bellator card in israel he's the main event the second time we visit Tel Aviv the pressure you are the hot she's not getting Lobby on any space no scrambling room to pop up and get these back against the fence that just hasn't been there good stuff by laviano in the central cage but in this position defense clinch my flat space that's where the lot has own [Applause] Thompson preparing for gilbert melendez standing trilogy okay they're gonna Ward the gym everybody does absolutely yeah night lajas spent about seven years [Applause] on the clock third and final round Lobby Ana's gotta do something time angle up maybe hunting for the arm but that's not going to happen from this position it happens from here if you get his label in the face a good job of squaring up with the heads following him not letting him cut the angle he needs clean eyes on a night that was supposed to be headlined by pitbull and vice show I said I was always the main event mentally I was always number one the absolutely confident young man [Applause] they battle to the very end [Applause] no surprise here that they ended the fight swinging great effort by both fighters Lobby idlers had a little bit more in those flinch take down and ground positions I think that was the key to the fight the point deduction in round two but Lahav made sure to stay aggressive because positions like this look at this body lock and down I talked about the real life waiting asperity beaten the hot more cops look 45 a little bit bigger and you can see the physical pressure he put on Lobby on all on the ground great job in round number three passing with that right leg Lobby Ellen not able to get those scrambles not able to use this speed not able to use the physical advantage he had they were negated by the ground game of no habla hi Michael C Williams with the official decision ladies helmet had to go on the distance but going here three judges at cage side Eric Cologne Sal D'Amato Michael Bell all score the fight exactly the same twenty nine to 27 I'll have it for the winner by unanimous

love it no often got six rules to go around Chanel come up suck dicks at their daily play was it hard in the beginning when he would challenge you to not turn it into a brawl for the crowd to stick to your game to stick your top game was that tough mentally the crowd would care about one thing me doing this at the end not survive it's an educated crowd they know what's up they Israelis they know what's fighting is they know who's the winner it's not about size it's about who controlled the aggressive who peaked at the pace and that's what I did I took a few hit you can tell I got a nice one
