brought to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories Joey Davis in the red gloves in the tape down for me but not very long and again nicely done by Craig plastic in the blue blouse that's the kind of takedowns you're going to see that was from a long distance but that's the kind of takedowns you get when you were half the wrestling pedigree that Joey Davis has Joey Davison top position first division two wrestler to end his career Monica Eton $133 basket getting himself towards the fifth we can utilize that balance what to get himself back to his feet who doesn't want to be on the ground here with joy Davis on top coming from team hiya San does have a decent ground game himself a Joey Davis a member of team body shop AJ McKee of course very close with rampage growing up they have got a great team super fighters working hard and enjoy Davis is one of the few strives in their sport when you have that type of wrestling base you have a great chance of being successful in the world of MMA is a huge portion in winning MMA fights look for the spin tried to do that saved money he'll kick again and work for once let's do it again mask it was able to close the distance that time that jab Orthodox stance from basket but he was switched back and forth yeah he has been switched back before the department cause joy a little bit apart even though you've seen the joy is standing he's standing very tall but his feet weren't moving now he start to move again and that's a smart movement for him as a fighter to fight win streak for Plaskett as he makes his Bellator debut tonight fighting out of North Hollywood there's that spin again Hawkins each fight just continues to grow it does for joy Davis he had a hard long fight it went off three rounds I think he learned a lot from it and what he's been doing it all of his fights from that point is he's been calm when he wants to explode he explodes in a big way and it's been working for he told us his first fight scared of somewhere in that fighting setup Bishop shows us and intelligence but sometimes it's scary in America the butterflies in your first fight better check your pulse it's the wrestling that Joey Davis I've known him since he was a little kid and his wrestling has just been outstanding through the years all the way into the FT to a undefeated for four years in the NCAA's that has only been done as you said three times Davis is the next guy to do that Marcus the Besser float I'm Division 3 national champion on Berk College in Minnesota holly was 155 years old that I can tell you good job of separating the hands by Plaskett here don't let Joey Davis get those hands in a foggy pop gable grip now he's gonna have more control separator Plaskett has showcasing skills here thus far Dave is trying to overwhelm here in the last minute this right here is he's giving his back putting his back to the ground in this position and saying I can't move you from where I was out these try to get to a better position so I can defend myself spinning back-kick finish to being Butler the elbow finish just in Roswell the last two fights for Davis his most recent at the Forum and for a kid who was born and raised in Compton and said it was a dream come true [Music] [Applause] right there that's a long shot on a takedown but when you have the wrestling pedigree that we've been talking about you can do those things as Joy Davis it's when you work really hard like plastic does to try to stop these things and then you get taken down again and again it becomes frustrating as a fighter because you just don't know how to stop it some go car in the corner of Craig Plaskett yeah go kart you're Vicki and Matt one of the big grapplers of our time and just an incredible grab a great leg locks getting set for round number two let's go red gloves for three and Oh Joey Davis debut for a Craig Plaskett grasshopper in the blue glass good inside leg kick see the big thing you were looking look at Joey Davis as you now and see that footwork he's not standing still in front with Plaskett doesn't want to stand still in front of just like he's doing right there don't stand still in front of somebody and give them that freebie move make them not sure of where you're gonna be good pace thus far here early in round two for quick basket big swing and a Miss straight to that double a tuft in fact when it happens that fast that level change occurs and you just don't see it until oh he's in you got problems [Applause] and Joey Davis has talked to us about being around winners his whole life around Jim Brown winning as a young kid [ __ ] rampage was literally his hero growing up yeah well yeah I have pictures of rampage and joy Davis who enjoy was a little boy yeah they are what joy Davis has done with his ability to meet some of these people and then take a look at that lace that you saw in that risk that's what keeps him right to that possibility the victim it's not going to work but that's how you open up those possibilities almost got into the film out there good control by Davis rampage sponsor Joey and each 13 gave his first mouthpiece Joey's been working for LeBron James the and Shawne Merriman you know he's got is he's not just thinking of fighting he's doing all kinds of stuff and that just shows what kind of person he is it's picking some good news some good boss Mike Goldberg Big John McCarthy Jen Brown Pechanga Resort Casino for the 10th time in Bellator history right here high head is going to win Joey needs to get his head out for me there you go you want to get that head up on top that's going to get you your position for your leverage of course Joey's teammate and cousin AJ McKee outstanding start to his career Antonia McKee has so many studs at the body shop and I'm telling you in talking with it the one that he's really high on is Joey Davies he goes he worked so hard he learned so fast and he listens that's what I love about him this is the what I tell him as soon as I thought I'm going to do it he's training how to do it because partner okay Antonio for Joe and Teddy's they coached fathers the best friend a minute under two minutes left in round two and Plaskett still hanging around really impressed with what glascott is doing as far as he has put out a ton of energy and I can tell you I've done fights in his before where that energy started to wane and he got tired and that was the end of the fight for me and he's not doing that here he is working hard to get himself back up he's working hard to defend himself at times he's trying to be offensive everything he's doing is saying that I'm here to win this fight pacing is so important to expand looking for good job putting his back to the ground to get himself out of the rear naked choke by Plaskett there goes that place at that arm again that's gonna cause him to bronze if he doesn't dirty five and always an amateur three-and-oh is a professional 24 year-old welterweight at this point you can see the same thing with Joey Davis if you saw the Tyrell fortune that wrestling background is saying I'm gonna go hip-to-hip incision starting to put my hooks in to control the hips and crush them down to the ground I'm just going to put pressure on Eretz keep you there and start popping drop really picking up the pace here and looking for the finish shot you getting heavier doing Joey grew up fighting his entire life looking at drag blasted back down right on top of the action he's looking for a leglock don't think he has it would be his first round submission finish the one thing you don't want to see is what joy James is doing of just sitting there don't just sit there's going for at all don't sit there start to defend it he doesn't have anything right now take a look you can see him reaching across taking away the left hand with his right hand to open up that left hand striking that is just fundamental MMA ground-and-pound type positions that you're seeing out a Joey Davis game that are they're giving things but there's no fundamentally strong when you have a wrestler like Joey team-high stands Kraig Plaskett though and team body shops Joey Davis I don't know if it was done on purpose but that's a smart thing because Craig glascott is tired it's like a dip just a little bit more rested about decent or is he waiting for rampage to give him a mouth up for that spinning kick early take that so explosive it makes the guy think that all he's gonna go for strikes changes novice brings it down this is what joy Davis needs to start fostering and start planting big heavy shots that's what's got to get Craig basket to a bad position there everything's about possibly stopping Davis went the distance in his first professional fight in Anaheim at Bellator 160 this decision victory second two fights both ended in the first round saw Joey Davis going into deep waters again here openings it you're able to see here for joy Davis but right now he's just thinking of using his fists ground and pounding his opponent he's not even looking at there's nothing wrong with that it's just that you got to think about a lot every option every opening I could have to make a decision which is what we talked about a little bit in the heavyweight division previous to this the tower fortune if you get two positions where you can make it to it a fighter connect your spot [Applause] break plaster is capable the shots he has put out a lot of energy and defending himself against what Joey Dave's been doing start the wine down a little bit here you can see that he's getting exhausted to tell where there's a cut there's somewhere in one of those elevators right the enjoy his jammies open it Bob yeah Notre Dame College of Ohio that cut looks like it's here the left eye of crepe basket that d2 powerhouse were gave us wrestle was better than about 75% of the d1 schools at the time not a bad school hook tonight big elbow open him off and he throws another one there those slicing elbows midway point of the third and final round that's why [Applause] Julie Davis looking for his third consecutive finish this is it's not the flashes it's effective and this is the grind that I rush they're great you just do everything you can to try to stop they just keep coming that pressure it's just brutal break the will and spirit of your opponent I'm giving it to crank we'll skip right now blasting has not given up at all he is still trying he's exhausted but there is no quit in him he has continued to try to fight get joy off of him and try to do something see him trying to get up here he's got to get that hand to the ground that's why he's going reaching over and taking that hand away from so he cannot do it it gets to example that is not going to get him up Joey Davis saw that success in wrestling traveled all over the world as a kid too and that this guy was competed not only at the highest level for the longest time but it's 16 years old went to Amsterdam by himself to compete dangerous place to go home six times L 1600 to compete not dangerous when people heard him correct that's true too final minute of the fight you know right here this is a position where if he puts the hand on the head and starts dropping that and sliding it off for an elbow those are hard heavy elbows he's just working at grinding off busca the scat keeps on working guys going to get that leg you look ed this is not what he's doing out there that's not a solid five second to the side it is all over they go the distance [Music] Joey Davis crank Plaskett be exhausted and credit to Craig Plaskett because Joey Davis put a lot of punishment on him and Craig hung in and grasshopper did not go away look at the change of levels there boom drives into him with a double leg that was after that spinning kick then it starts lacing that hand opens it up goes after a left hand ground-and-pound with him going after the side of the head you can see Plaskett trying to turn his head and make it so he doesn't have a target here's the elbow that cuts him watch him turn it over boom that big shot right there with the right elbow that's the one that opened up that big cut on class kid you can see them starting to wipe it you can see the blood there that was a solid elbow the official decision is in and here is Mike will see Williams the distance will go to your three judges at Kane side jackie Dinkin lewis copia marcos was thoughtless all three seen exactly the same 30 - 26 I'll have it for the winner by unanimous decision Joey black eyes our tale of the tape brought to you by Dave & Buster's the only place to eat drink play and watch sports 77 inch reads that's huge compared to 69 head Ruth likes to strike

California easy and the referee in charge of the action Jason Herzog Jason Herzog our referees Penn State's a truth also likes to finish with the ko and Ruth is a sponsor I am Telling You I have not seen anybody in the last two years that has the potential of Edie Ruth in MMA he is going to be something special three-time national champion four-time all-american four-time Big Ten Champion and matching he put the lights out on an opponent you said you saw that right hand he loves the stand up game he is not the rest of us going out there for doubling ticked outs he wants to knock you out thanks fight clock brought to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories easy add in the red gloves Mandy Mirada in the blue blobs the tooth fairy 17 professional fights 15 is too rapidly wrestled in high school in San Diego and started his Brazilian jiu-jitsu with an old-school guy named Dean Lister and that is a that is one hellacious grappler as we would say Dean Lister's a guy that is he opened a lot of people's eyes about leglocks he is phenomenal what you're seeing right now with Murad and root those rods landing leg kicks while Ruth is landing punches to the head and he's landing heavy punches both these guys are good at the stand-up game and they're going to go after each other right now Murad is a good wrestler but he cannot wrestle at the level that Edie Ruth does a couple of Bellator fights early in the career of Andy Murad his only two defeats have come inside the Bellator cage right there nice move by ed Reyes ducking under get the back taking Andy Murat down nice landing big shots here Mike those hurt because he cannot see him coming [Music] crazy Bob cook very impressed with not just the skills the skills are obvious but the work athlete of that Ruth Marquez Padilla training partner Chris Honeycutt spinning Fred snow of course grew up down the street in Harrisburg Pennsylvania from the former light heavyweight champion mr. wonderful Phil Davis for a long time I have said that jock Jones is the best it's partial R as I've ever seen as far as the skills that he brings to the cage and the one person that I've seen that I can match that is Edie Ruth he has the ability to be that guy his skills amazing and his ability to function in the stand-up game with a calmness and the power that he possesses he is a dangerous guy everywhere he is now competing in jiu-jitsu competitions he is the same is the same platform and the same makeup of what John has made John Jones who he is he's even got better wrestling credentials by a line alive Penn State's first three-time national champion four straight national championship team member under chaos a person during his days as a litany lion and man that was a ton of fun when both he and Phil Davis fought back at home in the Bryce Jordan something special moments with both those guys you look Phil Davis was an NCAA champion for Penn State and Ruth was a three-time as far as individual and four-time as far as team that basically broke off Phil's rack yeah he's that guy everyone's nice enough not to tell us that though Phil did head was humble enough not to not kind of try to dig you in a little bit not mr. wonderful and you look at the pace that it is putting on right now man this is tough because you're doing everything to stop what he's doing and he just as soon as you get yourself out of the problem he's putting you back into another problem and he has a motor that does not stop see so Davis right next to preach about cook in the corner of his fellow Nittany Lion and just relentless attack here early that comes that Joe looking for the finish let go of it obviously he felt that it wasn't there but right now he's in a great position to end this fight again coming up under the arm those are shots that you do not see and so when they hit you they do a lot of damage you can't take your head and move it away from him that's why he keeps going after fifteen seconds on the clock here in round number one of this welterweight fight good start for easy ed there's mr. wonderful that is one of the nicest dudes you will meet he is a good man and he's a great fighter and crazy Bob cook take a look at what happens here mirages going for the single leg on this watch what a truth does reaches around boom just turns now he's got the position leg trip to the outside takes it down and from that point we look at the knees that land here that's a heavy knee to the ribs you can cheat right away Murad's arm came up inside to say oh I don't like that and the shots that come up under the arms are the ones and those hurt you don't see them they hurt big-time because you cannot prepare for it nine fight win streak for Andy Mirage fight has not been defeated since April of 2014 by Ricky Rainey at Bellator 116 he's skilled everywhere the stand-up is good his wrestling as good as submissions are good isn't all around an MMA fighter with a lot of experience and Shawn against a guy who now has five fights coming into this one and you can see how that booth is just dominating the fight ready pistol positions right now good leg kiss by anything Ron to keep going after that slow down tooth fairy trying to open things up quick switch can't fight not San Diego as well or in Detroit distance down and he keeps on switching stance but when he reaches over his touch about right-handed worms to land so he's got long arms long legs turns it over nicely you see that kick glance right off the top of his head don't matter what got hurts continue to go out and try to damage at legs slowing down and you see that Ed is switching stance because it's like I want to I don't want that leg did you have to get damage that much some blood on the left side of the face of Andy Murad with all the switching the stance I don't know who is the jabber across but it was a conscious approach to though no one not straight if you're not a gamer is coming out of everything he's Canada he's going to give us a problem but you can see the calmness and the ability to control that fight is where it's at is all with it and usability he's the guy saying I want this to be able to be easy trying to take that at Murray finished his first two fights in round one his second two in round two but in Budapest he went the distance he did that was the first time he ever went the distance in a fight has just landed huge shots with you that you're not going to put everybody away there guys because take those shots who keep coming just like what [Applause] just past the midway point of this three-round fight Andy's getting beat up he's got cuts under both eyes now he left that jab a moment ago seamless from southpaw to Orthodox for a head roof look at how you can see he just stays right outside you can't see you outside of that kicking distance that's gonna be there but the hands are not pushing see right there just a little bit off it's that quickness he's able to control that distance the point of it just business partner you mentioned earlier about you know the skills of John Jones and now a truth and what you think his capabilities are when he began his MMA training it was with John Jones and Chris Weidman and again it's the calmness that you see looking just look into position and look at his facial demeanor and what he's doing the fight he's not pressing so he could continue to do this I mean 10 rounds because he's in phenomenal condition and he's not stepping on the gas he's working but he's not pushing it to the pace where he's gonna burn out and it's notable that this is his first welterweight fight bought at 92 89 185 last fight is at 175 you said eight the weight was just coming off so I decided let's go for 170 let's try to you know win and become a champion in the welterweight division I know what he thought Budapest he had to lose weight two pounds the one thing I would say is it keeps on going high yeah and the body is open we'll get you that back out if you put those hands on it it needs to stop being a headhunter look at the body of any broad to attack that body will shut down the body I was big shot like that [Music] each one of those parts is over five seconds in [Applause] to make it it's over he'd stop the fight and it was the right decision by Jason Herzog it is over had Ruth with the finish I'm gonna guess that for 59 and a half and a half of the second a nice leg kick by Ed Marah but look what happens one two straight down the pipe and this is the difference in this fight watch the shots hit that's a big shot another big shot all of those are landing flush and aunty Murat cannot stop the attack that's why Jason Herzog comes in he has taken a lot of damage he has tried great victory for head roof Michael C Williams will make it official ladies gentlemen inside the Bellator cage referee Jason Herzog waves off the contest due to unanswered strikes official time four minutes 59 seconds into round number two the winner by TKO still on easy and Ruth moves to 6 and OH in his professional career and he gets the g KO finish with about a half a second left in the round our tale of the tape brought you by

to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories eat and Oh Jordan young in the red gloves fighting out of American Top Team Jamal Tobes in the blue gloves fighting out of Joe Stevenson's camp one of the things in talking with Joe Stevenson he is so high on Jamal Polk's and what he can do he believes that he is the very best fighter that he's ever trained Wow that's a big statement that is a huge state we'll see if it's true because he is facing the real deal in Jordan young 22 year old hopes against 23 year old young Mike Brown in his corner Mike Brown great fighter and he may be even a better coach 3 you know in the Bellator cage for young those last three flights Bellator debut for Joe Stevenson's Jamaal pokes he's got that leg to the outside like gee that's why you see Jamal trying to step off of it if that leg is the outside it's gonna create a pressure it's very hard for him to get that single leg I'm John you were Tommy Jordan young controls distance very well and he can bring some big knees he can't he is devastating when he gets that type lung he starts bringing these you're in trouble you have got to move yourself out of there a feast going to hit you with one that's gonna put you to sleep heavy hips down that breaks what Jamal is doing with this takedown that's what if you're Jordan young you're winning that battle you're doing the right thing you're stopping the takedown you're coming out to be in the range that you want to be long reach good stiff jab Jamal Pogues hope to take this fight into the clubs are down to the ground beats a couple more posing like you know easy easy quite a few kind of like jab that right hand keeps on touching him over the top you see him blinking from him both guys is John pointed out with some pretty long reach good head control by Jordan young taking pushing that head over creating an angle stepping out very smart intelligent fighting from Jordan yo glad you are staying with us on the villa tour app Perry Melendez the most the time Jordan Young has been fighting 185 pounds this is a 205 and at light heavyweight he's not having any problem with the strength of Jamal bugs and his speed you can see he's doing well with his punches looking for that Thai clinch and the plum nice nice little sneaky elbow inside he's got that nice / hook he's putting pressure putting all that pressure down on the arm controlling the wrist that's all smart fighting this is you know Jordan is very calm in what he's doing and he's making Jamal actually work with more energy and try to stay with him and that's going to be the difference if this fight continues to go into the other rounds look to utilize his hands to set up the clinch there's one of those knees we were talking about you see that knee come up because of his length he hits right to that sternum and and I'm telling when you take one to the sternum you think I'm gonna I'm having a heart attack I remember Stephan Bonnar talking about a body shot he took him seven at night and my body literally shut down yeah I couldn't do anything I think there's some guys it was a bug yeah something like this the spiders are good absolutely he's working for it the final 30 seconds of this round now Jordans got the cut he's got double underhooks he's got control of the position he's the one deciding what's gonna happen it's a matter of does he want to take holes in the ground or do you want to just stay here looks like he's breaking apart we got [Music] it's always good when you're listening the fighters corners and they're talking in words and terms such as lovely snap seven right but he's right you watch what happened in that round and a lot of people are watching a fight and they don't understand what's the difference it's the difference in the shots that land at Jordan Young had the shots that with a cleaner crisper sharper blows route do a lot of grappling for the ball but he was not successful with it but it was love but it was told all of them in love red gloves for Jordan young blue gloves [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's a nice setup came after him with a lot of stripes change level got into his legs gets him to the ground now let's see what he's doing see how Jamal is trying to use that leg wrap that leg wrap is going to keep Jordans legs up off the ground he's not going to get up if those legs are in that wrap he's got to get his legs free so he can start to bring a knee down to the ground put a hand to the ground swing his legs out and you can hear his corner saying use your legs much later just describing up you see him folding that leg back underneath he brings that pulls that out there you go that's what's gonna put him back on his body I love John Stevenson the coach he could Joe Steven is awesome guys didn't hear of anywhere in the arena Season 2 Ultimate Fighter winner at welterweight back in the day I will say that Joe Stevenson is one of the best coaches as far as seeing things before they happen and talking to his fighters and telling him walking him step by step through the transition that he needs to take to either get himself to a better position or get out of a battery [Music] Jordan Young is looking out towards the referee like while he's not doing a lot well neither are you Jordan let's put you in that position get yourself out back-to-back submission wins for Jordan young in fact six of his eight victories have come by submission what Jordan really needs to do is he needs to go and either get it under low and swing his legs to get himself out or just post on his hands and pop himself up but he knows that his legs are gonna be there for Jamal to try to take him down again so that's why he's looking towards the referee to have the referee stand him up which is going to get him free of what you bought bugs is doing midway point of the fight bonus coverage here on the Bellator app Gianni Valley and Kerri Melendez net so you can see that right there he's grabbing that ankle pulling that leg out just making it so Jordan cannot get himself back on his feet all all of it is really smart just intellectual fighting by the part of Jamal Holmes cage control [Music] worthy of note the last two fights for young also ended in the very first round what you see it right here is you know there's not a lot of damage being done but there is a difference in what both fighters are doing Jordan is completely defensive he can't get himself out with everything he's tried Jamal has stopped it and put it back in his position and he's in position when he is slowly systematically breaking down his opponent and that's what MMA fighting sometimes is all about Jamal Pogues suffered a TKO loss in his professional debut has not been defeated since how many people who say they've lost their first fight Mike and have turned out to be unbelievable fighters in the sport of MMA many Chris cyborgs rule yes no one realizes all the awesome we tie back yes there was marina bars but that girl was undefeated yourself there you go final seconds of a very good round number two for the Stormtrooper although Jordan young looks unimpressed you see right here Jamal decides you know what I'm just gonna come after you with punches and change levels get into your legs now that I get into your legs I can get you down to the ground and that's what he does that is good technique that is smart fighting setting things up you see Jordan tried to get up look at that with the leg he's keeps on grabbing and holding that leg keeping him from being able to bring it underneath him and that's what's keeping Jordan on the ground that's our smart effective fighting from Jamal pose one-to-one you agree absolutely Joe daddy's moves knows how to score fight five minutes [Music] unbeaten record on the line tomorrow boats all kinds of fired up Jordan young Maria Noah inside 14 young Chan speaking up he also has a varied expected fly besides music how'd you do both of those things that the distance is closed immediately right that is true [Applause] Itamar usable second round he's going after it mate keep Jordan put his hands up to protect his head drops change levels brings him up takes him down he's now back into his legs in John we talked about this in round number one will jamal poems prefer to fight on the ground or in the clinch and the answer's yes and it's been effective it has been effectively is grinding here this is when you're watching it sometimes you think oh like right now there's not a lot going on though there is a lot because you're trying to control balance as if you're Jordan young you're having to control your balance making sure that you stay heavy actually into the fence to create a friction so the fighter cannot just take you down that fence can be helpful pro fighter you know can also be a detriment at times if you're the fighter trying to take something down and there are gifts that you actually have to work against what it creates in friction three and a half remains long as coverage the Bellator app this right here at this point Jordan young needs to start creating anglers with his footwork and start putting shots like that if you're standing straight in front of him he has the ability to try to run through you and he's done it very well good blast there it isn't a kid looking where Jordan's legs are at he's got of those legs could drink now he's giving his hook since doesn't have both oh I got one Dora needs to keep that left leg from getting inside and getting a hook on him but he didn't do it now it's inside Jamal's gonna be able to start the control position with this flips back to the outside of the key you see that hand keeping it there midway point now of the third and final round hi this is like Jordan jung hwan's he does right now that the sweat and Apollo that is that it's slippery it's hard to hold on to another human being when he doesn't want you to hold okay well it's something y'all you doing [Music] you roll with Jeff Blatnick for a while you realize get real change no kid you talked to Jeff latnok for a while my first partner I met you that same trip right here Jordan has the ability he can take Jamal down that might not be a bad idea since he's not reading him because that slipped in this again he's at the bottom going through the triangle as the arm he has the ability to set this

tonight's quarter came brought to you by boost mobile easy to switch easy to save let's check in with Jenn brown she's going to talk about the Spaniard but thanks Goldie hey you guys were just talking about what Archuleta's recent switch to the training lab he was up here in the locker room he was hooked up to a heart rate monitor he was hitting pads with Joe daddy Stevenson TJ Dillashaw but Sam calivita oh he was over in the corner and he was monitoring one Archuleta's heartbeat now he was calling out numbers he was telling him to get it up he was telling him to get it down it was all on a computer screen and he was monitoring outlets and when we talked to one Archuleta yeah this week he said he has made the biggest different in his psyche I'm talking about calivita he said that sometimes the difference between a great fighter is 2% and it's a 2% edge that he thinks he has it's gonna get him the win tonight guys gem thank you very much side Awad also part of that team he said Sam calivita is amazing Sam calivita is an Ironman he does the Ironman in for the island of hawaii that's the big one that's it it's team years at tougher to besides for the biggest of them all in Hana the Ironman so there's going to be hard to whine about here conditioning to a guy like Sam calivita who probably just rode his bike 200 miles at about 5:00 in the morning each day I'm tired coach I don't care good pressure here early round 2 and good job of that left hand you see that left hand of what the reason he's bringing inside there is Robby wants to get that leg you got to get up just like he just got it get that leg down he can get himself back up [Applause] Peralta motivated for his family his three daughters busy house lately for a robbief adult I'm trying to slow down one Archuleta here in the start of round number two he is slowing him down as far as his takedowns he's doing a really outstanding job of controlling what one Archuleta's coming after him because Juan keeps on utilizing different techniques for obvious stopping home as far as that take him he gets taken the ground but he's not taking damage when he's down there good takedown defense by Robbie Peralta and I always think back to the how looping punch that he landed on Clay Guida that opened him up a big time and that's something that want our to talk about the looping punches are hard to spot when you're talking about Robbie's well yeah when you're in this position that one arch that is putting the fight you don't have to worry about those things and that's what's making him the smart fighter than he is right now I take away those curves just by the positioning of where I put you Robbie said I didn't have much growing up while we saw my mom struggle and that's what motivates me my family my kids 14 six month old dog midway point of the flight trying to meet up there to get him down Big John Robie talk to us about this being a huge second chance possibility of a reincarnation

tabloid there's one thing I know science coaches TJ Dillashaw their daughter did not tell him to go in there I want you to grapple with it that is not the game plan he wants to stay on the outside and he wants to strike cuz that's where his chance of winning this fight is best cop Swanson teammate corner four sided Awad good combination by the assassin good straight right hand that right hand just missed the mark that's the kind of thing you just start to get that distance get that timing and boom you'll land it just a little bit down the road midway point of round number one fight scheduled for three five-minute rounds our co-main event could torn the blue gloves side Awad in the red and I know the belief in Ryan's corner is that Syed is going to tie the pass and they believe they can push the bass on him to the point where he starts to do that again which is what science said will not happen because of his time at the training lab because of his training under Sam calivita he said it has been mind-blowing and as we said earlier and it was scientist John took 15 years for the iron man to get to the big one in Hana and congratulations Sam calivita that's a lot of work that's just in the top five but this right here again you see that Ryan's got that gable grip with this clinched work this is where he does his best work this is where he can do things that can tire Syed out and make it to where his punches are not as strong and he's not as fast [Applause] NASA science got to get little dog trying to it's that whole thing of good you happy there I want to get back at you slow yourself down be calm be smart my trainer at home master Paul McGann's got about 15 black belts now he's an Iron Man mask of everyday what I do because I have a screw loose exactly present time as a

bold 93 through frog that's edgy to the core watch this shot right here this is the one that hurts not straight right hand even though it gets blocked a little bit you can see it stiffen him up he goes back and then SIA just starts going after him the shots these are getting through not big at the time but just a volume that Ryan cannot respond to and then he'll land one big one off of it you'll see him go to the body when he goes to the body that's what drops him down there's the body shot gone puts him down good stop by Jason Herzog great job by Sian Awad we will make it official

unpredictability as again as you've seen with what had she through understand she's very bladed so unlevel a should be attacking her with kicks it go with what the fighters gonna give you don't sit there and try to box with someone to that bladed stance because they're taking away almost half of their body just with their stance and you gave ramen champion John I did because she actually had the

minutes if now she's done it she knows she can do it again she knows she can and Laura is wondering can i when you have doubt that tends to slow you down stop you progressions because you want to conserve because you're not sure if you can make it doesn't mean she can't our referee Mike Beltran speaking a little Spanish there can translate I could if you don't want to hear it fair enough

South Dakota on August 17th to face off against North LA for all flight information go to bellator.com round 3 I'd be some good training to watch Jerry Falwell you think so the man he gives so much trouble to dine accrues the mentoring in the tutelage and befores everybody's always talked about the knowledge up again that the Dominator has always had he's always been one of those guys that is thinker in the fight yeah that's what good she wins one of the things that legalized corner told her do I want you to be first she's not being first right now she's actually accepting she needs to move her feet angles angles gonna get her where she wants to do so Darian the wolf Caldwell be a one-off to 145 or might it be thinking about about that featherweight as well that's a story for another time with Jack again I was a big miss on head spinning elbow but Waratah she likes those spinning techniques but if they don't this is what could happen we may ladies be careful about getting to our she's got the rent out she does not you can see Laura tried to kick that up for you but she can't do it holy moly has been [Applause] she has it this is what after the second round what happened and now going into the third this is a position Laura needs to start to work quickly to get out of that was beautiful jiu-jitsu by illegal in the fight of many you want to turn towards me so I can let you good good I to do it I'm not gonna be turning over Laura said she is very difficult to break well she is I've watched all of her fights and she has her one loss I watched that fight two times of there were moments that she could have broken that she did it that just says how pretty she is as a fighter she is there till the very end Sabina Maggio same city same country did she display to talk to us she's in a bad position for my for Lima Lima Carly she's displaying that same toughness because she just got nailed by a big elbow that hit her right in the forehead that does not feel good don't you get it [Applause] [Music] she's every weapon that's gonna be Southern's there to target women got big either extension me she's trying to pinch that over she just needs to study with far side where the two lights [Applause] that is time [Applause] lawyer is a tough tough that is a tighter part of the hood but you stick it in there [Applause] waiting on top that weight is keeping him from being hyper extended so right now I'll hold her arms straight down there's not to pressure that there was before John we just talked about her toughness ruinous to quit but don't leave early look it up I really don't know where to go from here I like they don't like it too eliminate needs to work to get those hips extended that hip extensions the Bellator women's flyweight champion from Alejandro Lara and the patients by Ali Millay McFarland and she gets the finish unfavorably brought to you by black our premium spice rock the bull bang eat read fruits wrong that's ng to the core check out this setup on this armbar as soon as an arm comes across I see her leg come across the head she gets a good strong armed opposition she has that come up but Lauren fights out of it please her feet across to push the hands away you could see she's utilizing legs to actually try to save her arm and it does claws only little problem in finishing it the arm is being I for extended but she's not giving up look towards the end this is what we talk about what she gets it back again she gets that hyperextension there's nothing she could do they hit pressures too much she got it out 8 + o7 and OH inside the Bellator cage and Ali Malay mcFarland eliminates Alejandra Lara we will make it a [ __ ] show when we for career win by unbar for Hawaii's only male McFarland to make it official Michael C Williams ladies and gentlemen inside the Bellator cage the tap comes by way of an armbar officially three minutes 55 seconds into round number one the winner still undefeated [Applause] [Music] MacFarlane Big John will visit with the champion [Applause] congratulations Alima lay that was an outstanding demonstration of multiple attacks going after with submissions that armbar did you think at one point you might not get it yes the entire time I thought I wasn't gonna get it she was I told you I called it out like this girl's double-jointed she's not gonna tap to anything but I think once she turned the angle a little bit it short turned her arms a little bit so I was able to finally get it but dude I did not think she was gonna top she's amazing awesome job one of the things that we were noticing was your ability to stay calm in positions when she took you down in the beginning you went after her was taking your time and setting up and going after the submission attempt it eventually didn't work but what about your maturity now as a fighter and as the champion honestly even though I was in some precarious situations all I could hear with my corner microrna overhear Manolo Hernandez bill Crawford Ritchie boogieman Martinez Liz Carmouche that whole corner right there all I did was listen to them that's all I did they called out every single move I listen to them that's where my maturity is it's these guys over here sounds outstanding Valerie Letourneau fought earlier tonight and she says she believes that she deserves a shot at your title what do you think of that i 100% agree with her she deserves this next shot let's do it but I have a small request I think we should do it back in my hometown in Hawaii I want a Bellator Hawaii I want to go to Hawaii - ladies and gentlemen the champ flyweight champion Alima lay mcFarland congratulations to the Eliminator my lemebel a McFarland defense her belt for the very first time
