like to fight in the stand-up she likes his state law that you're gonna see you Leonardo trying to get inside of her she's very aggressive on the inside Leonardo has been very busy John just fought 35 days ago that was on February 15th she has had five professional fights in just under ten months not exactly right she has been an active fighter you've got a look and you've got to say hey it's working for she's improving with every fight she's learning things and she's proving those things inside of the cage when it counts they clinch early fury three of her four professional wins have come by rear naked choke two of those in round number one one of the things that Leonardo likes to do she likes to get little inside outside trips sometimes she'll actually reach down ankle pick she's very good up against the cage Hermanson the 29 year old from Sweden Leonardo the 29 year old out of Shreveport Louisiana and that was a very good effective move by Hermanson saying you know what I'm not gonna stare shucks her off comes back into the range where she can be effective a lot of pressure early from Victoria Leonardo and that's the real question by Dan Hermanson deal with the pressure that Leonardo likes to play in high school you go back you watch all those previous fights you set as a professional and five fights she pressures and every girl no matter how aggressive it is got a boatload of fights we're used to sit back enjoy some great mixed martial arts tonight foreign one professional record for Victoria Leonardo Mallon Hermanson the perfect to know in her professional career professional for couple years 2017 as I mentioned Leonardo her first fight was made of 2018 10 March 5 fights later she makes her Bellator debut Leonardo's doing a good job one of the things that you can see sometimes in certain ways java barn crowd she uses her need to give a little knee tap inside bend that leg in bring her back down a lot of smart little techniques she's beautiful she's using to get her apartment where she wants to be on the ground [Music] inside the guard top position like what I'm seeing out of her missus she's not settling for the position she's not sitting there closing her guard she's keeping an Oldman guard looking nice knee shield inside right now she's just looking for her opportunity either reverses position or start to swing into a submission but she did let Leonardo just mount her even though she's got her back up against Benson she can get up at this moment she needs to let go of that head there she goes down into a deep wizard 90 seconds on the clock round number one [Music] butter hands claps is going to get that takedown again where she has put her intention is to keep on coming over work towards Lee staying in that half guard position she's got that she's trying to slide that nicely slice through get to a position aside control she did it [Music] side control this time Big John she's in psychic told what she's trying to do is just try to slide that knee through to get to full match just did it when you looking at someone who's working in that position of side control sometimes you seem coming up a little edgy because they're actually trying to bring that knee up on belly and slice it through just like Leonardo did overextended got out of position instead of changing the position right away when she knew it was bad she tried to hold on to it that's not gonna work and gets reversed in the process don't forget as I mentioned she is very good with her rear naked choke going after an armbar right now she's got it live and she get it another submission victory for Victoria Leonardo's so make it three or three rear naked choke and one armbar in the career of Victoria Leonardo and a very nice armbar the way she set it up and the way she finished it take a look when you see that angle change look at how she's changed and she's got that arm straight now it's a matter of extending the hips once she gets the hips extended that arm is being torque backwards that is a bad feeling if you're the person on top getting that balance it has no pallet has no ability to stop with the where her position is she is stuck beautiful armbar by Leonardo in John one of the very impressive things about that sequences as you mentioned she's somewhat lost the position that she was going for but then made something out of the position in which she ended up in and both girls you know the one thing I really like to see neither one was ever going to settle for something they didn't want and that's why you saw the scrambles Jin she did she made a mistake and trying to hold a position that was lost don't try to hold it let go of it move to a position that is better than where you're gonna end up she didn't do that but then she did off of it move right into that armbar and that's what got her the win [Music] Michael C Williams with the official decision ladies done inside Bellator cage the tap comes my way of an armbar officially four minutes 49 seconds round number one the winner by submission 449 of round number one Victoria Leonardo moves to five and one with another submission victory and she leaves with

especially with already basically five professional fights ago you see it through you know the two from China what we have here is ride Walker needs to stay on the inside to be successful against took off Michael C Williams with the official introductions for those joining us live around the world on the Bellator MMA a global app we welcome you to the prelims here at Bellator 218 as we continue now to the lightweight division set for three five-minute rounds introducing the blue corner at five foot ten weighing in 156.25 his professional record eight wins four losses he fights out of Las Vegas Nevada and across the cage his adversary out of the red corner at five foot ten weighing in 155 point 8 pounds making his Bellator debut he enters undefeated three victories no defeats fighting huh double scull Russia we're gone the referee in charge of the action blake rice blake Bryce our referee Ryan Walker now representing Xtreme Couture trained for many years at Gracie Baja Portland under fabulous earner and Clayton hire that horse tail that his son invited against Vladimir toke off of team fatal Kingdom uppercut early by toke off in the red gloves Walker in the blue and our fight clock is brought you by Miller Lite sprays a penalty 96 calories you saw Ryan Walker trying to come in really fast getting inside and trying to get a hold of sewed up then took off basically did the same thing this plays right into where Ryan walked to be successful Ryan Walker made his Bellator debut right here July of last year fought Steve Gazzola lost his professional debut battle back in 2014 went on John to win his next seven fights he's got a very strong drafting game and he lived his wrestling is strong his submission game is good where he starts to get in trouble is when he decides to get into that stand up for all and start throwing haymakers at people he leaves himself open and he can get clipped and that's what happened with this fight you're talking about earlier against Gazzola good takedown very night this is where exactly where he's strong his grappling is good he's got a good submission game he's got good positional pressure he knows what he's doing he just needs to be careful as far as what you're seeing thought after the arm right now toke off has got that arm locked and he's got it in deep so right now Walker needs to keep that pressure down do not let him extend his hips toke off with one win by knockout by submission and one win by decision swinging a mess as Java getting back to his feet by Vladimir Vladimir took off just 22 years old team fatal and the Alexander Nevsky Sports Club three men including Valentin Moldoff ski on the card tonight out of team fade or none of them did train which they door for their fights tonight but there's always that fate or culture when you train in study hospital yeah they're like they have something going there and when you've got a mentor like fedor emelianenko and you have someone that you can go to and say what about this what about that there's an answer that gives you such confidence that you're getting the right information and you're getting something from a guy who has been there done that and it just makes everybody at the group better and stronger well Goff Steve did not meet fedor emelianenko till he was 15 years old wasn't even thinking about MMA at that time he was training in a championship and all of a sudden flavor wasn't rust invited him he said I was very honored and the rest they say it's history talk with a right hand big wizard right now yeah you had a beautiful jumping me that almost connected it just didn't land in the spot he wanted Atlanta more towards the chest but what Ryan Walker is doing you're seeing right now that Vladimir is a little bit tired and he's tired because he's got an adrenaline junkie this is a big stage for him he is wanting to come out of here do well have a win and so he's gonna have to get himself back with that second win and all that pressure that Ryan Walker is bringing that is giving him problems right now still a hard wizard on top right now if Latimer needs to collect himself get his win underneath him set himself up and if I was Ryan Walker continue to bring that pressure that pressure is what's going to keep him out of deficit and get you your win John when you were breaking down anatoly's strengths obviously one of them is his strength he's also very quick his stand up can be ferocious as he gets to the body then the big thing that I saw out of Vladimir was he was very explosive especially with his knees he comes in he'll do spinning attacks but when he gets a hold of the clench he's very good with his knees inside and very good at bringing elbows big adrenaline dump though as you can visibly see whoo yeah give you maybe part of it is that cut I don't know how much of it there goes another knee I don't know how much he cut but you can visibly see he needs to get through this next 45 seconds and get himself that minute rest and we'll see how he recovers and that's gonna see a lot about how for the Blue Dogs for Ryan Walker's second Bellator fight for Walker from Portland fighting out of Vegas toe cough making his Bellator debut at 3 and OH toko keeps on trying to swing it home gas tank position on top needs to stay there continue the punch hammer fish seconds want to cover up he's not hurting him but he had the arm they're covering and protecting himself in me partner yeah he did he was no damage being done but it looked good the volume was there judges are gonna like it so did that just win the round for tow Cobb there was a couple things in there that won the round for toe cop he ended up he landed the best shot in the round that actually hurt Ryan Walker Ryan had some good moments toke off had some good moments but overall they're gonna say that let's go cup its that round ten nine you ready back back ready fight round two red gloves for toke off John gave him round number one 10:19 Brian Walker tries to go to the body early with the left using the other trunks of the blue gloves as a nice left kick that heel and for the body hit up a little high hit him in the lap not exactly where you wanted to be but it landed it was a Beckett takes his back he's gonna lose his back he's too high in this position he's trying to notice how he's trying to bring that leg up to second back in too high that's what we're talking about you know when you're gonna lose a position don't try to hold onto it explode out get yourself back to a position these back to stand up that way your back to even and you did a good job because he had the hooks in just a little bit too aggressive right yeah just got his way too high and once you get your weight over the top and so high is very hard to bring yourself back walkthrough showcasing his wrestling skills that John talked about neck kind of caught Dolph not a good spot yeah you're actually seeing what you're seeing with Vladimir is he's actually putting his arms in a position for an anaconda choke I don't see him getting as long as Ryan's able to control his body position control those legs that anaconda children is not going to be affected but it is holding right oh thank you the featherweight division is on notice on main event tonight features the rematch between former title challenger Manuel Sanchez and former two-time title challengers Georgie car honey and Bellator MMA live at 9 o'clock on paramount this nice head kick that was blocked by Ryan Walker it's only blood at the one hand so that's still gonna rattle his cage he needs to start Dutch about that bring it out of hand over so it takes all the power off and another takedown for Walker we did mention he missed weight by 0.2 156 point to his fight still remains a light weight battle good knee inside but if you're looking at that with that left arm of Vladimir needs to get into it under hook position that will get him out of candy from went over too high but that under hook is what he's looking for to get himself out he is visibly tired you hear the corner of Brian Walker saying exactly that Walker looks at the gas I'm gonna say oh that's nice that he's telling it that he's gassed but there's also there's another guy in there and he's gassed - both of guys have put a lot of effort out of here and they're throwing that I would say that Vladimir is throwing too hard he's trying to hurt his opponent with every shot instead of trying to touch his opponent try to touch him one of them's gonna hurt you if you're trying to hurt him with every shot you're gonna get mix things up a little bit pop up a pot loan you know sometimes it's the perfect equation is the Diaz brothers you look at nickname and you watch that rule if they don't hit very hard well trust me they're not hitting hard with every shot but every now and then they lay one in there and it hurts and that's what makes them successful economy up function exactly right that right now this is the Khatami but with where Ryan Walker is he should be able to come exactly bring himself up and out it's not a good festive time because his back was not to the ground it is on his side gotta let go of that position because he can take your back and that's exactly what happened now being too high it's not as much of a potential negative John because of the cage right well he's still too high so as soon as Vladimir decides I'm gonna start shaking and bringing myself backwards which is what he should be doing right now yeah there's no way that Ryan can hold on to that position his legs are not in a good position even though he's got his hooks inside now his back see how he's got his weights back towards his hips get himself a little bit farther back and hold on he's gonna be in a better position to stay he's working towards that choke I would tell him not worry about the choke right now worry about your position yourself set so you get your choke they come with a position before the submission how he's going short side I tried to go pawpaw on the Gator grip he's got a possibility of ending it here Mike Ryan Walker would love to finish the unbeaten battlers toke off he's got heavy rips down on him now he ci you see how he's sitting in the middle of that small of his back that's a hard position for Vladimir to get him out of total Cobb in a bit of danger here late in round number two and this is where that fatigue just you know it kills everybody fatigue will it make you stop and when you stop in sports you're going nowhere bad things are gonna happen both men I think when Walker's corner says this tire grind wears tight Walker Ryan thought good coach so high just well yeah I holler even absolutely and even in the fight right one one I've no doubt about it that is Ryan Walker's round one did the better work he has a better position same deal had the ability to possibly in the fight didn't do it but he gets the round John at that statement from the governor of Ryan Walker a look at me okay 100% correct he is broken right now what should Walker's gameplan be here in the first 30 seconds of round three oh no doubt it if you believe he's broken that you want to get right into his face gin hit where he can't stop you coming what are you giving the defensive going backwards fine now put that pressure on and put him back on the ground that's where you're gonna say he's broken but I honestly don't think he's broken at this moment he's tired but he's still game and fighting that's why you see that take down Soto cough shoots in flange to touch the back of the head just low start being utilized by Ryan Walker now training at Xtreme Couture for many years was a Gracie Baja importantly when our good buddy tailpiece Sonnen best part about this position for Vladimir toke up is he command and control the base if Brian Walker sits in close guard now that Ryan is out of the closed guard opening up his guard he can push the pace and push Vladimir to that point where now he's exhausted again get rid of that one-minute rest that he just had and put him at a deficit third and final round of this lightweight fight Latimer is good that left arm out from underneath Walker too bad because his party finally did it you see him his head is down low in the chest that is telling you he's an exhausted fighter he's fighting but he is so tired he's just trying to throw his arms to make him look like he's doing something there's no damage the guy who's doing the better work actually right now from the bottom is Ryan Walker because at least he's landing with so the elbows were none of the shots that flattered mayor of throwing are actually landed in anytime power doing any damage it's worthy of no bad bellington moltov ski his teammate John his first flight in the US was his Bellator debut so take that into account with this 22 year old his teammate Vladimir making his debut on Sunday that's what level has a lot to do with it it is very difficult people have no idea how tough it is to actually go from a country like if you're living in us especially stary oskol because what you're talking about just to get to moscow it's a 12 hour train ride there's so much distance so much time wasted of you sitting or just standing it does take it out of it so you want to spend the cool his brother deals with the world he's done the us-japan different areas vitomir this is his basically his first time a travelling so far and it can have an effect on me in the fight looks like he's caught a second trend here though in round three well he's throwing a give it there's not a power with it up and you see and that's why Blake crisis say what you're doing the ocean but you're not trying to end the fight for me and I want you to try to work those in the fight just past the midway point of this third and final round you see just on that shot that shot was sloppy there's gold no explosion is bending over at the waist that's just because he is a tire tire fire there's a team that is tight right now I need to hold that leg got his head out well toke off has done exactly what he has needed to do thus far here in round 3 he's been the aggressor he's scored two takedowns he's had the control and this is what you need to stay in this position right here get up on your feet start landing shots exactly and once they've been surrounded more big shots come in you want to come down grab a breath of air do that but every now and then I need you to posture up I need you to stand up I need you to get to one foot on on it get yourself to a point where you can land punches that can do damage 120 on the clock if you want to screen their lunch hard to bring out a guard up he's just holding on right now he's purely defensive and so when you're looking at who's stalling the fight it's Ryan Walker at this point trying to swing towards an armbar he's not closed again careful that was close buddy man referee tell him that he's getting close to the back of the head with the elbows it's very difficult when you got a guy that's on top of you and he's moving his head as you're throwing elbows that's why people are not sure about that turn around coming up and he's trying to pop Walker try to belong to that 20 seconds remain the driver using these brings up back trying to take the back final seconds this is what when someone's wet slippery sweaty and you're tired just what happened time to go the distance first professional fight outside of Russia for Vladimir toke off his last professional fight in July of 2017 was in Sochi so three fights in Russia this is US and Bellator debut Michael C Williams will tell us who has won this fight ladies don't have to go the distance for going you're three judges the cage side all three judges scored the same David Sutherland Matt McCarthy Todd Anderson habit 29 to 28 all for the winner by unanimous decision the love of mere polka so the first two rounds split John is we thought round 3 goes to sew coffins big brother Anatoly is pleased with the victory for his little brother Vladimir it's a lot of pressure obvious as it stood he sit in the back and he is dying the entire time to 23 year olds making their professional debut Holmes look at the weight 181 point four four inches taller and a huge reach advantage all to their pro debut I'm telling you both these guys are going to be outstanding fighters it's unfortunate one's gonna come away at oh and one Michael C Williams once again with our official introductions now let's go Emma man from Winstar World Casino and Resort now move to the middleweight division set for three five-minute rounds we introduce first sip recorded at six foot four weighing in 180 1.4 pounds tonight he makes its professional debut from Mesquite Texas [Applause] and across the cage his adversary out of the red corner at 6-foot wedding in 180 5.7 pounds he chew tonight mix his professional debut he fights out of Milwaukee Wisconsin Jordan in charge of the action your referee carried hat league Terry Hatley our referee for this middleweight matchup jordan newman representing rufus sport and joseph pull hard or no we're giving the nickname ugly man but some can agree sod don't have to move it in the red gloves pulls in the blue gloves and they go out and right away partner and this is gonna be the question of this fight because Jordan as an outstanding Division three wrestler I Wisconsin Whitewater is two-time NC to a champion that kid can wrestle it if he could stay on top of ugly Joe in this fight he's going to be very successful so what you're gonna have to see out of Joseph Holmes as he has got to get him back to the fence has got to hit positions where he gets back to his fence or start throwing up submissions and breaking that posture of what Jordan Truman is going to be good at in that his ground former Division three wrestler of the year couple of great wrestlers amongst his training partners and teammates and tyron woodley and of course Ben Askren his teammate Emanuel Sanchez fights in our main event later tonight one minute into this middleweight matchup of 23 year olds not a lot of experience other than one amateur fight and it is all of that background in the wrestling ruins and doing what you did that was consul whitewater that's what's going to make him show that you know what I have what it takes to be an MMA fighter Joseph Holmes a perfect seven and old as an amateur with three finishes in fact he has fought seven times as you talked to me about in the last year and a half state very busy and that's really impressive a guy that he was going in and he was actually fighting good competition and he was getting better with each fight and that experience coming into tonight is the question because he has had all of those fights and that is it's valuable man that is important stuff because if you're Jordan and boy I had that one fight and it was a fast fight you don't have anything to lay back on other than that wrestling experience experience and that's great but it's not fighting this little toss off by Jordan Newman your southpaw stance as you can see just look at this way he's holding his hands his comfort level and the striking is just not there yet looking for that takedown is a pure Rossler and that's where he's gonna be and again applying pressure is what wrestlers doing this is exactly what he's doing in this one he's got a two on one with the hands that's what's holding in that position with he's got a leg ride we can call the Turk at times if it's on the ground but what he's doing is he's putting weight he's making Joseph carry that weight and just carrying of the weight will let it get more and more tired as the fight goes on and then all that wrestling and that pressure just starts to build and it's like a tidal wave just keeps off falling toward you can't stop let's chop the stinging on his feet book quick takedown defense displayed there by Joseph all that head position for chance Holmes would be very important cannot let Jordan start to move his head and put his head high if he does he's going to end up getting put to the crown [Music] let's do the MMA 101 for those not familiar with that fighting daybreak to attack his means up but the head position if it would have changed and gone high why would that led to the take off anytime when you're looking at taking something down there's multiple ways of doing it but if I can extend my opponent make them tall it's easy to take a tall person our it's not easy take that shorter bursts on that person's head is buried inside and not standing out they're not getting extended so that keeps them strong keep some with a base so I want to extend that head bring it up high bring it to the side anytime I can take it off of its center line and start to weaken my opponent and it makes it easier for me to get it where I want to be MMA 101 lessons brought to you by Big John McCarthy we will be here all night 30 seconds on the clock looking for dogs choke here [Applause] [Music] watch the ballgame more grocery good job by Joseph groans too forthcoming you take a look what's going on right here he starts to lock up trying to go for the doors he's got he's got it locked but when you're seeing his legs stuck on the inside here you're seeing he's be able to push to push him back now extend if you're gonna extend I want to flatten my hips out and use my weight to crush down on that arm that is crossing over onto his neck and keep that pressure down but he's bringing his knees up which is bringing weight off and now it's more of a squeeze instead of that pressure and that's why he's able to survive good job by Joseph Holmes to get himself out of there there we go read Newman teammate Emanuel El Matador Sanchez watching closely let him go wrap through grunts ready Pettis brothers while Felder Woodley a stirring and so many great ones training under the guidance of Duke Rufus and Scott Cushman Daniel Vanderley up in Milwaukee Wisconsin dude former kickboxing champion it's just right there what you're seeing Jordan doesn't have nice smoothness and a stand-up at this point it is because of his footwork he doesn't have that knowledge base that he can just slide his feet and move self where he needs to be Zack b1 you're seeing Joseph Holmes do stay in this position and pick your shots don't worry about landing a lot of shots but keep stepping to the outside if you step your left foot to the outside the Jordans right with that right hands gonna land just like it just did John Reid hat coming in Jordan Newman as an Orthodox fiber some punishment from Holmes right here a lot of times you'll see wrestlers switch their stance because that's the way that they shoot for a takedown that may be contributing to what you're talking about where he looks a bit uncomfortable because he's trying to go southpaw but really self-acceptance perfectly it's a matter of take that or he would bring that right foot forward and that's how he would wrestle and so that's where he's comfortable at even though he's not comfortable in that way with his stand-up yet because he's only been doing it for a short amount of time this is exactly where he becomes the guy that is difficult to deal with it is according to the ground he's got a great chance of winning but if you're Joseph you want to now work your way back your feet make him work you can see he's starting to struggle a little bit because everything that he's done in that training has always been successful he's been able to get bored he wants and now it's not working exactly the same reason to struggle a bit more keep pushing that button make him work it's gone after America a little bit of a it's got his own ways through it's not gonna be not in the right position it's that risk luck he has an ability to get it but with that two-on-one right now is more a wrestling maneuver than it is a submission hold homes with good credentials coming in ranked as the number one amateur fire both middleweight and welterweight in the southwest here we reach the middle is backup notice the head position of homes look at her starting to control that head position and this is look at poses not near the wrestler the Jordan is but he's an MMA fighter really have right now is I the guy who's starting to revert back to being a wrestler and a pure wrestler instead of an MMA fighter and he's fighting a guy who is fighting like it in my life but you said coming in there's a huge difference in the experience between Jordan Newman and Joseph and that's exactly what you're seeing play out is that experience Joseph's experience all of that experience is starting to show he's starting to get light on his feet [Applause] close out if he couldn't squeeze no he needed to use his legs more once he had the position obviously he feels exactly how weld out deep that guillotine is we didn't have it and let it go certainly this style of fight being utilized by Jordan Newman takes away the four inch height and six inch reach advantage on Japan does not matter how tough it is when they're on their back you could have Shaquille O'Neal out there he is very short at that moment and that's one of the things that ground fighting does it limits those things that you know what God gives you certain qualities and you can take them away by putting someone on the ground the Shaq really ever short I don't [Applause] but you can see we're in this one look at what's happening Jordan is now Leslie he's not going after submissions he's not punching he is holding on and he's wrestling and that is something that happens position were all assume the guy doesn't fold he doesn't crush to that pressure that you have you're getting tired and now it's like I'm on top I'm safe but you're not fighting now the longer this fight goes the better it is for Joseph Owens well we know one thing it's going around number three and lick them both get up look at how they get up and look into the muck that's telling you something right there push Scott Cushman leaving the corner of Jordan Newman's jack you saw his tell me [Applause] [Music] exactly not a good third and final round pro debut for Jordan Newman and Joseph Holmes red bloods for Newman blue gloves for homes how about your sport for your scorecard partner you know what that second round we were talking so much it's a matter of homes landed the better strikes obviously Newman had the better wrestling he got the takedown it's a question on what are the judges going to look at as far as what are they going to give credit to normally I give it to who did damage looking for the damage and to me Josaphat actually did the bends in for so I miss it is wrong I want to see who wins this round good start thus far for Jordan Newman very good news just settle his hips back don't look to get that hook right now you're too high you're gonna end up two eyes you sit your hips back and don't worry about it you're a good wrestler do you know what the hip ride is right now this is what like awesome you're fighting the codes and you're normally used to being able to swing your body where you want each way doesn't work he's hit at Ches is there and it does take a difference the environment that you're fighting up here over the years on big schools a lot of new schools have the keys for exactly that reason because it's such a different world when you fighting in this round to change them in other situations that with that right there when you saw him going for the schoolyard headlock that was a bad choice for Jordan joy had a good position at the game to stay there but he opened himself up putting himself would you like to see Joseph Williams trying to stand the outside walk and do this yeah this is exactly what I want to say Romney enjoyable I'm the ox and I want you to fan I want you to faint set him up get that movement and step in and one to yourself back down [Applause] now each of me [Applause] who's flat-footed and write down miss a big opportunity for Joseph oh he says begin position [Applause] [Music] he's bringing in elbows although things that have hurt do damage that's just the difference of having those southern Africa fights [Applause] working in the world of Jordan Newman oh and now he backs up space to punch it you can do it inside you know but we'll hang it on your head here it's not good so I want to swim out bring myself to position that extension and now I can step through a big shot which is how we heard an initial exactly under two minutes we men [Applause] you can see the reach template swiveling Newman tries to talk - bye but he's lawsuit got the run under hood those who joke can stay on his feet here he needs to work to get himself free get that underhook right now with his right arm he's pushed it off the bicep then Jordan get the underhook the ability to get out from there [Music] it's so easy to sit on the outside because not tired you're not breathing hard you can't feel it's easy to say but when you're on the inside and you have these opportunities and ya dropped either [Applause] side control for German Newman big takedown here late rocked earlier in the day the real question is ones you're gonna do with this takedown fight because right now he's riding him like a wrestler so you got the takedown that's good but you're not doing any damage so you're not doing with it to the referee so all the judges are gonna let me go you took a down but you didn't do anything with it that's gonna end up having you lose the round even though you're in the top position I mean on your damage meter round two as you mentioned a Holmes and I'm gonna guess round three so far the homies look who weren't move in the round yep it's all about ending the fight you've got to work towards ending the fight and by hurting someone you're working for spending the fight by out grappling them but doing nothing to damage them all you're doing is control that striking grappling aggression and cage control in that formant if you look at the big brain on you think a little how to unneeded stuff in there and some cobwebs but once in a while it works ugly man Joe Joseph Holmes and Jordan Newman go the distance and when Joseph Holmes was able to sit down to be a striker he was successful look at that nice stiff jab straight down the pipe right hand just clipping him off to the side not exactly where he wanted to land but look good enough and that moves his feet to get out of range that's what was making him successful and that's why he ends up diving off it's the shot actually made his body work a little way he's not really hurt but he can't move his body in the normal fashion he's feeling a little stunt off of it that's what happened to get him judges have rendered their decision here is Michael C Williams ladies down the point of decisions will go to your three judges at caged side you first judge Todd Anderson scores his 30 to 27 while judges Michael Bell and David Sutherland both see at the

took that was straight to the ribs coming up out of her right now you're seeing a difference in strength level a cop is able to move him where he wants is controlling with those inside under hooks and he's able to just do what he wants like he's a big shot that he did take he's blue he's recovered from it he's back to being the guy who started to trouble fighting dude salient from the Brazilians

Georgie come on Ian Bellator MMA is live at nine o'clock paramount Network a light on macapa reached to connect with that right hand John both of those hands are starting to land and lad with some

not gonna move away from come inside quick drop in the head you got to keep the head up so you can see exactly where your where your opponent's head we're just starting to take too many big shots this is what my copy is strong he has got power of both hands and if he can set his feet throw he's hard to deal with for fight for Makapuu here at the Winstar World Casino Resort we are here for our ninety two time twenty times Mohegan Sun is hosted Bellator MMA macapá was stopped for the first time in his career last time out in what was his 27th professional fight knocked out by a chamber key trying to rebound from that defeat that was said that he was definitely not expecting he was expected to have a great performance against agent AJ just came out he was unorthodox to him and as Mikami started to open up and try to land the big shot AJ picky he's got all the tools he is a hard man to deal with you're gonna see him fight for that title soon here's the shot boom that's the shot that puts up a cop it down you can see his hands going back when you see his hands going back Mike it's telling you yeah he got hit but he's not hurt his brain is still there and then here comes up a copper back landing big right hand pushing Croom back big me inside there was a lot of volume and a lot of damaging shots in the copper here comes the right hand boom straight through left hook those big shots even though crew port macapa on his butt the cop have made it up if you're asking me that's a 10-9 round for John McCallum that first sequence John that you talked about the first shot was boy thai-style with that hand behind it on pull it down on the neck and delivering the uppercut then the straight is one have really heard of round two red gloves for John Luke Appa representing his homeland in Brazil fighting out of Rio de Janeiro Kevin Croom born in Columbia Missouri fight not a Kansas City they're benign combined career wins for the 31 and a 32 year old battling here tonight Jill stop complicating the deal it's got a good Muay Thai plum he's home that head well group needs to crush that distance it his head up high above the caucus head to keep yourself safe it's better than the muy Thai plum with one hand and an uppercut it's so worth there's so many different things in elevated and a guy will think hey I'm good at this position they look at it they they work out with guys that they don't do that technique they think I can handle that and they'll run into that guy who is different yeah this is saving a Rich Franklin fight Anderson Silva thought he was going to outmuscle someone in the clinches or in a Muay Thai club wanted to be there he was there macapá really turning up the heat here he's hitting it with big shots now those are starting to add up you've seen today the job dreams face leaves bloodied up groom had a ten fight win streak from November of 2012 to February of 2014 note that proves a game about Lily he's still coming forward he's still going after it he's trying to land shows the [ __ ] was getting tired and throwing hard shots yet he needs to start just backing his shots off touch it and then land a big shot when it's open the clinch is about technique the head leads the body is unfortunately Rich Franklin it's a good thing for curve right here goes from John brings it down and all she got locked up with an anaconda right ability to chocobo even in the standing position here if he keeps his tight it's got it locked in he's in trouble I'm telling you that's why he's going down to it knees trying to relieve the pressure John decides let it go he goes in his hat good solid performance thus far for macapá coming off fights against AJ McKee former champion Pat Curran and former top contender Daniel glacial who he fought to a split decision back in Budapest both half this blue type Club they're going after tapas back in straight his ability to hold that form while he's back to string those clubs got the flow he's not putting the same pressure you see dream he's bending at the back there's a lot of strength I'll hold itself in that position that's the difference that you're seeing between the two Truman's bust it off and he's slowing down drastic here it's like a lumberjack and just keeps on chopping at the tree getting there with shots little bits and pieces of wood are coming off and they're starting to take effect they're weakening that whole base especially the body shots in that shot was a bit telegraphed in the copper loads up and Lance clean that mentioned macapá looking for his first finish at the Bellator working diligently to get it 45 on the clock here in the second again as crew comes in somewhat slowly the copper goes low and winds up and we talked about him dropping his head or unified yeah but this is exactly disease continuing to do that that uppercut is coming in and it's hurting if it's doing damage to him he's got to change his approach are coming in JAMA papa five seconds the other side set everything up boo-bear said I want you to fight I want you to fight now I was shot the top hey all these big swinging shots now let's take a running gas out of a cop but they're laughing here comes the uppercut get the dog going right on the chin here we go nice job that's what makes shot is right hand it's a matter of one guy is touching the other one about a five to one rate that's why I jump a cop it doesn't have any marks on his face no he's been hit by a big shot you could take a look through he's taking a lot of damage up until two weeks ago John McCauley was training for Georgie car honey in bar honey got room got moved in and that's right into about the fifth or sixth dr. Thomas Ruby's got her man I love these guys going out of the fight he's dead no quitted his Carter James crowd still he want this but he's in there shaking his head yes he's proven it by everything he's trying to do a good thing a turn his back with John copper cop has got a very strong top game in jujitsu Tanith wins by submission can he get one here this is not looking good for groom he's got to be very careful with not making a mistake with his hands the puppet is high and what he should do is try to get himself into where he's got his base up that's why the cop is bringing himself back could have gotten his base up and shook him up he had a chance again get him off his back right now macapá with this lace of the arm is keeping himself in place the man has been stopped in his last five setbacks by submission he's been put on his back he's been punched in the face kicked in the leg but he's still going he's got no quit enemy and it just turned his back that's not something I would suggest right now the top is still high he's getting a little bit too high on him and that's giving Croom the ability to try to control the hands and get him off Croom is at that point board now the gas tank is near the end he doesn't have a whole lot left in it but the top is tired too and just trying to control hands right now with vatapá can bring you see the seat belt position bring that arm just like it is all he's got to do is go to a gable grip he doesn't even have to lock it in he's gonna be able to get a choke he's out John you said you've seen Kevin's room and armbars situations that have his arm bending for the wrong way and he didn't tap no look at there's no doubt Kevin Croom is tough you've got no quit in a when your arm is bending in a rainbow the wrong way anyone can see that's painful when a guy sits there and goes crazy against Matt Hughes long ago okay I know you're not fired but man you're tough I think if Dan Hardy and torch st. P exactly he became Gumby not Jeremy wondering that hats the midway point third and final round what you're seeing out of mcoppins butt off is tired so he's just getting into these ride positions folding up let time go by because he's not getting hurt and he's controlling the fight he's not into trying to end the fight at this point to tell it's from last fight he had not finished the nor been finished finished by AJ McKee here's a bad position getting on his chair took her the hips into the middle of his back heavy good job I Croom to get back to a base he needs to keep that base watch the hands don't let the arm come across it's already there so he's just got to be sure that if the other hand does not lock it in time mcoppins pretty much thrown everything he'd ever burn he's throwing the kitchen sink at him but he's tired and I don't blame him he's put a lot of energy out gem crew has taken everything he has given him and has stayed in this fight yet be very impressed by the effort of Kevin Frank one Youth minute on the clock third and final round fighters right in front of our broadcast position keep trying to unlace the leg she's pinching down on the on the left arm cop knows that arms there I know I'm not gonna get choked getting himself back to a position where his facedown is not good for him it'd be much better having macapá on his back and having his weight on top of Macabre 28 professional fight for John macapá this right now in this but this is the worst position as far as positions in MMA that you can be in having someone on it because there's nothing you can do to them they have the ability to punch you you don't have the ability to do anything to them xxx professional fight fork room and this one is going to go the dish there's some of the work done by John macapa beautiful left straight down the pipe makes Kevin crew miss with that right hand just based upon where that left hand landed look at the uppercut boom turns his head through his top man he takes that that's a hard shot to take and not end up on your butt who's at the end the ground a pound of macapá crew was just out of gas it's not that he's getting hurt there's just no way for him to stop what's occurring he doesn't have the gas tank to use that energy to get himself out [Music] judges have rendered their decision once again we check in with Michael C Williams ladies done before the decision but going here judges scorecards your first judge Michael Bell 3226 judge Trott McCarthy 29 to 27 judge Todd Anderson 3226 all habit for the would by unanimous decision john macapa snaps his three fight losing streak wins by unanimous decision the 22nd victory of his professional career our tale of the tape brought to you by Tom Clancy's the division two available now Johnny epilim is four and Oh Chauncey southward with nine career victories both men John 27 years old box words got a lot more experience that Evelyn comes from a wrestling background was a wrestler at mizzu he is a very good young fighter with a lot to prove tonight once again Michael C Williams with the introductions and now once again from Winstar World Casino and Resort Bellator MMA features the middleweight division set now for three five-minute rounds introducing the blue corner at 511 weighing in 185 whitte 9 pounds his professional record 9 and 7 he fights out of hot springs arkansas Chauncey the machine box learn across the cage is adversary out of the red corner at six foot one weighing in 105.5 pounds his professional record early on stands defeated charge of the action Jason Herzog Jason Herzog our referee middleweight matchup between Chaplin and the Machine Chaplin Chinese not animated we're going with Jeb JEB live here we go tonight's fight clock brought to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories Johnny epilim is in the red gloves Chauncey Foxworth in the blue gloves was a very aggressive fighter he was aggressive as a wrestler at Missouri and it has just carried over into his MMA all of his amateur and his pro fights he is a guy that he likes to get after he likes to get in your face and he likes to create a pressure that breaks you and he would like to be John as you pointed out the next great mixed martial artist who wrestled at Missouri a three-time champion in the Bellator cage his name is iron Michael Chandler absolutely beautiful body and lock take down my gentleman there you look at what Johnny outlet is able to accomplish due to his ability to face and control he is turning his stand-up has gotten very good all the guys ooh you got Ben Askren tyron woodley and Michael Chandler that's a nice compliment if you couldn't even come close to what those guys have accomplished you're gonna have a heck of a career are they gonna replace those Randy Couture's Johnny Hendrix and Daniel Cormier is from Oklahoma State is Mizzou their next generation out there what bizzy's got something of course everything so Dave is probably going to say something about heavy kick from chachi Foxworth fighting out of Hot Springs Arkansas my clown Dean Thomas James Krause listed as the coaches trainers for Johnny epilim trains down in South Florida at American Top Team in at home we're doing a good job of keeping himself under composure you got rock getting himself back to that over-under gives all the cobwebs out from a shot that heard it emblem your scouting report partner very aggressive big right hand and we've seen both of those so far and the one thing I'm seeing he's starting to really start to utilize those elbows when it gets in that clinch he's willing to separate to throw that elbow that's starting to show an evolution in his fighting ability in his technique because you knew most times a wrestler gets old he gets his hands on you he doesn't want to let that go and Johnny Appling is now starting to get to a point he's letting it go so he can land that strike and do damage to his opponent good pace to the start of this fight by both men Hawksworth services the gap quickly Chauncey's losing position off a technique you can see that he's getting himself high he's losing the underhook and that's why you're seeing John Edlund be able to turn him where he wants it's got both hands [Music] [Applause] Chauncy needs to be very careful he doesn't allow even them to take his leg and stick it over the top and end up getting his back while he's working to hold on to that chimera grip it's the one thing that a camera mic away every time you grab hold of Corinne you try to dig it out when a guy's got it inside it's nothing but strength you are pulling with everything you have you got to be very careful because you can pull so much that she started emptying that gas tank in your arms start to go dead under a minute try to work this himself back to his feet he's not there yet Johnny brings that leg right back on top right now trying to use the key people his head down he's going to pull them away from the fence don't let him get you back off of the fence that fences your friend from how it's not nice map position like Johnny blue can he get a finish here with 20 seconds on the clock buffed off nicely by the machine Chauncey Foxworth good use of the cage taking in wall walking to get himself over in Strauss 26 professional wins jiu-jitsu blackbelt former Bellator fighter you know jiu-jitsu blackbelt is a guy that started out as a pure kickboxer and then said you know what I need to get better and became a very good mm a wrestler an outstanding submission guy James Krause is the real deal when you talk about being a martial artist round to Chauncey Fox worked the machine making his Bellator debut in the blue gloves his opponent the same Johnny epilim making his Bellator debut he is in the red gloves round one partner round one definitely goes to Johnny Boleyn no doubt about it Johnny but does the same time but kicking attack the bat Hughes used to do it likes to take that step to the outside bringing the later leg across and Hughes became famous for doing that against Hayato Sakurai Johnny's got that leg up good grip with his wrist over and I just decide to if he wants to take and go to the body if he wants to try to take it bring that leg in between his legs good job by Johnson we're gonna step off this is the point if you listen to the corner before Dean Thomas who's talking about get to a half guard and start to cook him a meaning I want you to get to a half guard position put pressure in it start landing shots and just being that guy that start systematically wearing your opponent down close guard now Chauncey's so far in this fight is every time he's got himself with his head against Paige has done a good job of getting it moving himself up and getting his back up on that cage to help him get up we'll see if he can do it again here Johnny Evelyn wrestled at Missouri 87 collegiate victories a school champion is senior year started wrestling at each for flora known as a professional with four finishes three by knockout one by guillotine choke 17th career fight for Chauncey Ashley coming off a rear naked choke 3rd round victory back in January John is in that exact doing exactly what his coach saw get to that half guard start to put pressure you see him doing the ride this is like Randy Couture just like to get him towards the fence get into that ride from half our just our landing shots and beating your opponent down Chauncey Foxworth is a strong individual cuz he's got himself out of some bad positions with just pure strength down that body locked in kanji is a very tough strong Chaplin his nickname really keeping the pressure on chachi Foxworth here in round number two with under two on the clock [Music] again looking for that camera grip problem with that grip is when you are in a position you don't have control of the legs it is not a strong position for you to get that arm and a guy can swing around now the fence is going to stop Jonathan being able to do that it's got to be very careful when you have both arms in that Kimura grip if you don't have control of your opponent's body nor five legs Bellator fans you have the same gear the fighters wear and more flying new official Bellator MMA gear Kimbo Slice bobble heads and much more at Bellator shop.com my clover Big John McCarthy our crew inside the Winstar World Casino and Resort 19th time we hosted Bellator MMA the first was Bellator 80cents in January of 2013 last time Bellator 210 November 30th of last nice job getting back down now he's inside control position let's see if Johnny can start to open up a little bit and do some damage that's not fair it's always belong I know seconds of the round third and final Rob Johnson Foxworthy is gonna have to do something special in this round he wants to win this fight down to love red gloves or no Johnny upland fighting out of Kansas City trains an American Top Team under Mike Brown Dean Thomas in the crew trains at home in Kansas City Laurie MMA with James Krause Chauncey Foxworth trains out of Hot Springs Arkansas off a chain and the way before I knew is every just did that just a little bit of all Johnny gets down into his legs gonna get him down to the ground here you see if pull those legs out towards his hips talk to going back to that Kimora but again look where his hands at it's not as warm it's not gonna do anything from there that's that's the kind of risk he's got to take thug if I get shot see a lot of credit for going after it and this is unchartered territory big time in the professional career of Johnny Evelyn because I have four of his pro wins have come in the first round his I we said two longest fights we're both two minutes and 21 seconds so he's got up a 101 Oh 137 and two finishes at 221 he did go to distance a couple of times as an amateurs but this is the first time he's gone this deep in a fight as a professional jump no this is good form and he needs this for Wichita one thing you got to look at look at what he's got with his left arm right now Johnny has the arm of Foxworth in a position where he's laced in and he has no control of his left arm Johnny could open up if he takes that right hand that he has he's gonna open up the punches just let go of it please and Herzog coming in telling him you got to move do something or I'm gonna stand here [ __ ] if you look at the down shot see Foxworth he's sitting there going go ahead saw main-event co-main event coming up later tonight live on paramount Network just over 90 minutes away from the start of the main college let's go sell a heavyweight Valentin mall golf ski Sanchez in car honey and - and the main event of the evening this is a very good fight for Johnny because he's got a guy that's not giving up on anything north-south choke attempt twist gets himself out everything that Janet goes after Chauncey Fox worse as new I am NOT settling for that and he gets himself out this is the type of fight that changes you as a fighter evylyn is not getting damaged which is a good thing going after a choke right here you possibly get a ten finger guillotine quite there yet he's working at John Morgan but he needs to use that fence if he can drive his hips towards the fence he could use that fence as a leverage point hope the pressure doesn't have it Chauncey Foxworth is out with 90 seconds on the clock here in this fight very impressed with the effort that Foxworth has put out as far as not allowing things to just settle every time that Johnny puts him in a position he fights his way through it he gets himself to a better position and that takes a lot of heart and a lot of desire to do and it is making John who worked very hard this fight professional wins another takedown for the Missouri wrestler Chauncey again getting himself to position try to get himself back up the evens now getting to the point he started do a ride just block get myself a nice gable grip around his waist he's not gonna go anywhere got my leg lace through I'm just trying to hold on because I know this fight is getting close to the end and I am tired of trying to put this guy in a bad position because he keeps getting out three rounds 15 minutes no problem or Jonny Evelyn goes the distance time in his professional career that's a good thing for him that's gonna teach him a lot he had a guy that would not quit you need those experiences to progress in your career here's what I'm talking about with it Johnny goes inside throws an elbow big big punch here's that slam he had second round bringing him up and down didn't quite get him with that rotation exactly like he wanted body lock takedown brings him down but you got to give it to Chauncey [ __ ] with kept fighting throughout the fight nice combination there here's your flying knee attempt you can see it hits it just doesn't hit in the knee hits him with the thigh that's why it doesn't put Johnny down evylyn is a tough fighter Bob give all the credit in the world to Foxworth that guy has heart and he fought through everything I'm very impressed by let's see if Johnny Upland stays unbeaten here is Michael C Williams ladies don't haven't gone the distance inside the Bellator cage we'll go to your three judges David Sutherland Michael Bell Ron McCarthy all three scored the same 32 27 for the winner by unanimous decision Chaplin remains unbeaten and wins by unanimous decision here in his Bellator MMA debut our tale of the tape for this next fight contracted at 130 pounds brought to you by Tom Clancy's the division 2 available now Debra Koosman and Kai fennec this is a contracted way you see 1:29 for both fighters instead of the 125 or 135 pretty much everything is virtually identical Michael C Williams and now tonight here from Windsong will Casino and Resort Bellator MMA now presents three five-minute rounds at 130 pounds and we introduce the blue corner first at five foot three weighing in one hundred twenty nine point five pounds her professional record one and one she fights out of Arlington Texas [Applause] and across the cage her adversary fighting out of the red corner at five foot four weighing in 129 point 2 pounds her professional record what victory no defeats fighting huddle Paris France presenting Deborah who smile in charge of the action your referee flake gross Blake Bryce is our referee for this fight at 130 pounds Deborah Koosman and ty Bennett you ready who could be mistaken for Denny's few whole 12 ah here we go tonight's fight clock brought to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories The Punisher from Paris Deborah Koosman she's in the red gloves blue gloves for Chi Kobra Bennett 3rd Bellator fight for Bochy they grapple early who's been trying to establish that double underhook she is very aggressive and all over but she comes forward and she throws a lot of combinations of surprise that she's established the clinch with Kai the way she has because she likes to be that person who is standing up and blasting her opponent instead of grappling with it 3rd Bellator fight third fight here inside the Winstar World Casino and Resort for Kai Bennett fighting out of Arlington Texas team takedown in the new home of former champion Johny Hendricks for years this is a rematch John as you pointed out of an amateur fight back in April April 1st by the way of 2017 who lost by unanimous decision who's Ben and Kai Bennett that night he's been one who's been one yes who's been won by unanimous decision he's been in all of your fights she's the person she is every single fight I've seen her in she controls the pace and position of the fight and that is what makes her successful she is she's the the I love the Punisher on the front of her that's there with the Punisher from Paris but she does she punishes your opponent with a base just a placement of the fight digging shots with the knees elbows across she just slowly and systematically wears her opponents down with that pace not bad for a bakery not bad that her own bakery business she does indeed started off in boxing Romney's Fort Worth Golden Gloves qualifier in 2012 so don't try to steal any doughnuts in her bacon so punch in the face [Applause] definitely a ton of pressure early from Deborah Koosman you can empty the gas tank of her opponent I'd Bennett and you talked about him in someone's gas tank right now KY Bennett with where she's at she's okay as far as she's not expending a lot of energy now she's obviously not not winning the round with what she's doing but the energy output because of the fence that fence helps her with her balance it keeps her in a position where she feels comfortable she doesn't have to expend a lot of energy right now it's Deborah Koosman does the one that's putting all the energy out so she's not kidding in that position of the fence because that fence takes all that pressure we're gonna have to push back to hold yourself defense he's doing that for you you can actually kinda relax and kind of just take it easy and wait for your moment - now oh now I'm gonna go and just make sure you don't get taken down and that's a big part of staying up against the fence now they reverse position at least for a moment and you see the reason I was able to show that position is that under hook with that right arm you saw who's been trying to turn her out it wasn't gonna happen because she doesn't have the leverage point to do it from me up the middle block John you talked about hi Bennett strong knees went in the clinch she's tried to throw a few here in the first four minutes of the fight this entire fight so far has basically taken place from the clinch and the clinch II when you're looking at it a lot of yoga is boring there's so much going on there's so much energy output by both fighters at times in that Clint's because you're controlling another person's body weight you're controlling their muscular structure as they're pulling or pushing but you're pushing or pulling against that and it can be just absolutely draining as a fighter even though it doesn't look like much good body shot it slumping and you see from proving she does go to the body a lot that comes from that boxing back MMA fighters both seem to go you saw her just open up right there two shots in the body then coming up to the head MMA fighters have not got that where they emphasize the body like they should well in that's where you see the boxing background up Deborah Koosman yep because she started as a boxer and you said often she fights like a boxer and the tendency there's just boom rip the body Mike Tyson style and she was able to score some points top of the hour live on paramount Network four big fights for you [Music] Road to the south Paul Kai Bennett in the blue gloves Deborah Koosman comes out swinging she is in the red gloves John on your school crime no doubt my mind scorecard for the first run Deborah kruseman gets that round tonight look at the head position to Deborah Koosman look what she's doing she's digging about that head she's using it as a third arm Mike to try to put pressure on Kai I asked to try to work her way out your head or Chin's getting the highs turning her head it's causing her a lot of problems that head position nice frame off by Koosman turns her back around puts the head right back inside and you can see every time she kicks that hit you see Kai having a problem and try to move that head away because she cannot move her body off of the fence with her head up high opening up with good shots straight away and she can stay in boxing range she's successful and her boxing range can be very close to as we saw John at the end of that first round with the body shots for one thing the only problem you're saying is she's getting coached a couple of ways about he'll keep that head pressure that's a good thing and it is being successful but she's closing and crushing the space on her strikes so it would be good if she would step back and open up with those strikes and keep that distance for she keeps her at the end of that punch that way that power is gonna be there and it's gonna have the effect she wants you won't see Debra Koosman utilized many kicks all the fights I see on TV one kick and it just it was it didn't do anything because it's not something she does she is a boxing background with a wrestling backdrop and it's working for her she's good with both well that defines not many swinging this amateur fight April 1 2017 unanimous decision when for Deborah Koosman ready to cross brings in right hand back at the head position everything she's doing is absolutely right for her spidery she is just saying I'm gonna slowly and systematically break you down but you can see that right now Kai Bennett cannot stop what she's doing who's been born in Paris France last check living in little elm non-stop position has been the difference in this fight because I could not stop Deborah from getting that position putting her head underneath her chin raising her up she turns her around right away Deborah turns his right back she's just got the better grappling technique that puts her in a position to be successful up against the cage go girls work from there let's go in Bennet keeping her pony closed don't want to allow her to throw some of those body strikes again as she did lately out one one minute on the clock round number two fight scheduled for three five-minute rounds you know and you look at it they did get a warning from the referee as far as you know got to do so I'm there with Deborah Koosman she is busy she's changing her techniques she's hitting her with knees to the body hitting with knees and legs coming up top with punches she's a busy active fighter fighting to fight the cheese knows she needs to fight to get that win [Applause] I'm Bennett is the one that she's gonna figure out what she needs to do to change the trajectory of this because she's pretty against the fence as she's doing as we start to see fire start to turn her face away with the punches that's a sign you know what she's having a hard time with what's occurring and it started to affect her mentally she's starting to break down and as soon as that head starts to turn you know she's in trouble [Applause] we're punches from the cobra the southpaw and the blue gloves Bennett kruseman in the red gloves out two rounds to none utilizing her flinch game almost to perfection Bennett was talking in her corner say she's having a hard time keeping distance and one of the things that our coach he should have talked about was that's because you your feet are flat they're dead need to move your feet start to turn start to create angles and pressures and move your feet to get yourself out of there but as you see with their feet they're right up against the cage or staying inactive and that's why she's staying in this position [Applause] head position throughout this entire fight as just being able to do what she needs to do to be successful she has not figured out a way to stop it she earlier [Music] on your chin turn your head to the side now trying to take it push them up it's completely different than if your head is straight ahead facing towards them these are the things when we talk about leverage strength that's leverage strength well pretty much in any sport you are tired of the young age so let's say it's football watch the chest don't watch the head watch the chest don't watch the head the head does leave goodbye sorry when I talk to young hockey players show up and watch it body of she's taken a little bit further right as I did long ago Michael Bisping was fighting one our own Chael Sonnen the first round starts putting his head in positions with Michael against the cage and just destroying him with that head physician and hitting into the body and just beating him up and Michael Bisping looks at me he goes is this legal as it absolutely bleep going on and if you're not used to it it can cause you a problem you've got to figure out ways to deal with someone that is good at applying that head pressure work girl's works more the same for the Punisher when you look at that hit coming back up underneath out it's alive who is it it's a head but it's not she's taking out fishing there's no separation there's no strike everything she's doing is legal and that's why well ahead on the scorecards looking for a win in her Bellator debut right back to the coaching through the corners just trying to hold you let's go the evident someone same three in for some advice on how to under when she starts getting hit our head starts going away forgot sound but she doesn't right back into that sound position against the fence in our own system st. John every time they break or at least at the start of the line this is the flight time that at once but she doesn't have the opportunity or Jabbar Koosman is not allowing me to have the opportunity to fight in that style to play at that range at all everything is about make the other person fight your fight that is exactly what Debra Koosman is doing and that's why she's been successful you gotta hand it to her hey beautiful job it is not exciting fighting as far as most people the way they look at Christ is they want to see the knock bag got the big submission but I will tell you I am completely impressed with Debra Koosman ability to [Music] that's a perfect segue for me later tonight because Emanuel Sanchez said against Patricio pitbull he got away from fighting his own fight yep it's the whole point when you don't go in you gotta do what you do if you allow your opponent to suck you into what they do you're fighting another person's fight you're probably going to lose your eye that is what happened even though it was a great fight having gone the distance from go to your three judges David Sutherland Rob McCarthy Tom Anderson all three have at the same 32:27 for the winner by unanimous decision one win is an amateur one win as a professional over Kai Bennett both by unanimous decision our tale of the tape brought to you by Tom Clancy's the division two available now look at that record of two and one one in one but look at everything else five-eleven wait reach these guys are what you would call Mike virtually identity indeed Michael C Williams and I may be set up in the action continues tonight here tour to 18 as we go to the lightweight division set for three five-minute rounds will introduce the blue corner at five foot ten weigh in one hundred fifty four point four pounds here's the best result record one and one fighting high taxes [Applause] Acosta's adversary the red corner at five foot eleven weighing in one hundred fifty five point seven pounds as to victory defeat by Hub Derby Kansas time in charge of the action your referee Kerry Kathleen Kerry Hadley our referee he just had showtimes teammate now we have a Showtime Craig fairly junior and Lewis a rebus Hartman to throw it for for you ready ready what's the work here we go tonight's fight clock brought to you by Miller Lite great taste and only 96 calories red gloves for a fairly junior blue gloves for Luis Rivas doing a very good job quickly of cutting off the angles of fairly all that footwork you seeing that he is bringing is causing fairly feeling of I just can't set up I can't set up that's a problem fairly turns 27 on Monday both of his pro wins by submission both in the first round in Americana and Avon flu choke the lone professional win for Luis Rivas by knockout second time both of these men have fought for Bellator [Applause] that big right hand just needs to settle down mr. Luger he's going a little bit fast in my opinion that could lead him into trouble so just settled up just a little bit keep utilizing that footwork to cut the ankles off on it and eventually everything that's gonna come your way he likes a big right hand he's also as you told me John a fighter who's willing to take to to deliver one yet watching him he does he will take shots to deliver shot so he's not worried about what fairly brings but fairly does come with a nice sidekick he that could cause you a problem so you gotta end this fight the next 25 seconds it can take you the 15 minutes that's okay [Applause] that's a replays in highlights but technically both guys are laying in their shells but right now a revisit the guy he's landing the cleaner crisper shot Fairley's got to figure out how to keep that distance he likes to fight a distance so then figure out that I can't keep my feet still and keep distance [Applause] those TVs they did not feel good those are the bad went low came over hi Dan Henderson style Benson [Music] a little bit of overextension thereby fairly he needs to settle that they'll try to land the big shot just land shots keep that jab out there utilize the right hand don't throw just to end it with one shot that usually not gonna work for you when you're not trying for the knockout the knockout comes when you're trying usually just stays at the door nicely done into the midsection or the side kick Burton's got a good sidekick he gets to that position Twiggy brings about sharp got a cut on a Rivas now right by his left eye barely switches to the southpaw stance and again there's that sidekick who talked about going off that lead right leg [Music] [Music] don't get one week from tonight side a lot planning Gertz in the main event former

won't hurt and that started tying tighten up that leg [Applause] she's going back to the journal herons tocar fight [Applause] greatest disdain again here gotcha yep Hulme shot was the beginning of the end [Applause] yet boom buttons that is two beautiful shots I am surprised that Fairley was able to continue on and try to fight his way out of that cuz he got hit with some big shot then from the

Gutierrez Isiah Gutierrez put on a clinic on movement good shots clean shots Vickers is easy he's competitive he's in there he's just following too much and not throwing his head spinning elbow by the taller Aaron Vickers kind of glanced him a little bit you see right here you're looking at this he's battled for the head position the chair is winning it Vickers is the strong guy he's a tall guy position [Applause] least yet [Applause] he's got a couple of different options one is I can sit here and movies I can get I can grab a holder on or I can start planting my food drawing and vicar's does the last one that you go don't do that oh just plant your feet girl move grab all of it get yourself back to where you can feel again and I saw hard to understand that buzz when you get hit with a big shot like that that you get you think you're moving you're just not threats of Bellator debut locks bar for Isaiah Gutierrez [Applause] Vickers want to get the ground yep the trade Samaritans got one hotel he's going after scared not in the position he wants to be completely by the drop and only one who's out just a minute ago with the shots he was taking so this is good because it's gonna help Vickers clear his head get himself composed maybe come up with a submission to report a finished work career he's gone after the Mantis 2002 the problem when it is Sarah see [Music] [Applause] that type of submission when you and where you have your head there's certain solutions that we better finish quickly we're gonna get punched in the face your tongue yeah and this is wonderful all right now here Vickers is in a position he's avatar attire display can I get myself through this he's looking around trying to figure it but that arm that you see Isaiah holding that vise left arm that's keeping it there that's a prop [Applause] [Music] almost yeah each other victim ain't in that top position here blue tears almost spun out which year is now going with that body triangle again why why are you trying to hold a guy he's trying to punch you in out with you in the face why you trying to keep him there well he making sure that he's keeps you down right [Applause] Hey and when I say what there is no submission that you can get with that body type in that place so you've got to open up the next [Music] it's got to open up soon why are you going to that if you're not honey if you're hurt good slow it down get yourself back now open up but if you're not hurt chocolate leave this wasted time and it doesn't really control your opponent's posture either not at all my opinion now after two rounds Vickers gonna a new way of getting after Michigan Sierra's because he's got he's got to do something to finish this fight in this round to get a victory five minutes remain I'm John scorecard blue gloves Isiah Gutierrez up two rounds to love Erin Vickers in the red gloves knickers with 15 amateur fights for professional makes his Bellator debut along with his opponent here tonight Vickers closes the distance good leg kicks in there the one thing these do is if you gonna land those leg kicks inside while you're kicking that leg out follow it up with a straight right hand down the fight it's usually gonna find a spot [Applause] [Applause] getting the head position is giving victory problems out of myself again by Gutierrez he's very slick starts to frame out brings that elbow across Vickers is there patio this is a tough kid man he keeps coming at me you can tell he's got all that experience from that amateur background just the end of the toes touching the head right there we're talking just inches are the different readings might be over [Music] the vicar's definitely wants to fight in a phone booth does not want to stay at range against Gutierrez [Applause] like to fool mouth I'll do something with a position but screwed him off and I eventually can I [Applause] [Music] this is something that his arm is to fade you see him crossed over so Vickers needs to change position start to utilize you legs and your hips to create a pressure and world over put it where he can't be on his knees when collapse your hips down you hear the instruction from the corner get your legs on his chest if I was right now if it's here I'm gonna bring my left knee and I'm gonna bring it on top of Vickers face let's start to create that frame let's just look what he's doing and start to push them I keep on putting pressure on not gonna spawn as long as my arm is safe inside like it is right now I just want to make pressure on topping it that makes them uncomfortable just like what you're seeing that he's doing and that's pretty uncomfortable as you can tell from the greatest song the face of victory [Applause] fighting by you tears I'm not gonna sit here try to pull myself out which is going to extend my arms to put me the danger of losing the fight may have been the best opportunity of this fight for victims that was a big look at he had that deep but it as soon as you saw you Terrence did you fill those arms and control that so he couldn't get extended [Music] he you made a move on the chessboard he just made a counter see now you have to make that next move to make it happen so it opens that board up to you again and that move was defended very well that was a life-altering sighs tomorrow [Music] dearest let the first for the finish he's told [Applause] the auction [Applause] [Applause] there's no point five ten seconds bloodied but not finished probably beaten but not finished what even not broken no doubt about it [Applause]

stopped in 2647 days that is seven years and three months I worked without a toilet several dogs inside of the cage and I can tell you it's like a truck when he decides to plant his feet and throw his right hand he has the incredible power super strong he is fast explosive in all of his movements he very much emulates his mentor and fedor emelianenko that was a heavy kick and you can see this Gerald has his elbow tucked very tight to his rib cage after that one that you were in for all fifty five seconds of his knockout against agent Matthews but you were in for the introductions and stuff - yeah you're impressed with this kid on you it is so good because he's calm and everything he does and he's strong everywhere his wrestling is outstanding he's got incredible wrestling defense he's got good submissions and I'm telling you when he decides [Applause] so visit his table don't start [Music] get rid of it and come back to Altima strikes this is why them try Gerald Harris rocks [Applause] Jerald still has the ability right now he still hurt doesn't know exactly where he's at Jarrell is in a good position to take this fight right now eros would have loved to put on his back gave up the high crotch a moment ago I think Gerald's making a mistake right now by trying to go after the wrestling it didn't work for him I told you he's got very good wrestling defense so break away and open up with your hands again because there's no way that Anatole has recovered completely from the shot he took Gerald told us his speed would be the difference you got to that punch quicker than the defensive headed to leto caught the moment ago that as you said anatoly's recovering during this exchange and now he's going to push his opponent the hurricane up against the cage and that was close partner oh it was close I mean it way he was hurt he was almost out is Kerry Hadley could have stopped that if I did it and I'm glad he did it but this is where you looking at guy will drop back into what is his main game and that is wrestler for general Harris and he started to wrestle but he didn't get him off of his feet so he could open up with a ground pound attack and keep him off-balance and off base the injure put on his back and Gerald said very emphatically that he cannot out wrestle me guess time will tell under 90 seconds here in round one Harris with 25 career victories at 39 years old took off with 27 at 29 years old seven losses for Gerald Harris general Harris has had an incredible career when you look at what he's done he's got four slam knock us he is the slam King while he said it's a world record it probably is Deacon Jones used to city and whether the sack record too is the world record it is impressive than he gets a hold of people what Gerald managed to do with his recipe he is super strong and he is still fast at the age of 39 that was buoyed by the shot that he voted against Oh coughing well as won against David Blanche back in 2010 was voted USA TODAY's knockout of the year three or pardon me two of his last three wins have been slam knockers beautiful inside trip takedown took ahold Lena all our movies that he's not gonna get rid of him is down there's no way that he can come back for what happened to take this round from Jarrell heroes well the thing is is he's still around and he's trying to come back and we will head to round two like almost a year ago why don't you let it did this beautiful knee tap with the right hand a little bit different offset but you see Gerald Harris do the same thing fakes the takedown that's what sets up that huge left hand and knots toke on and go on his almost ends the fight thirtieth professional fight and I gave me the statistic early seven years and three months December 22nd 2011 the last time Anatoly toke off was stopped in a fight and Harris came very close in round water he took a big shot needs to be careful of his neck right here TOCOM and the red flowers this is where toe cough comes up he is super strong just like that that's a big come-from-behind victory for Anatole took off he was on the verge defeat and just came in and submits Gerald Harris only the second submission loss in Gerald Harris's career the other in his Bellator debut against Rafael Lovato jr. take a look at this shot gets hit with the body kick a little bit of a block but it's this shot that left hand right hand now he's hurt and that's why he gets stuck in the position with his head in that guillotine brings him down once he gets his hips inside and you see that squeeze coming up that's super tight we call it a ten finger guillotine it hurts and gettin's ends up not only shutting off the blood but also the breath toke off by submission for an O now [Music] the pellet or to that man Anatole toe cog got absolutely rocked in round one but comes back and finishes Gerald Harris in round two to make it official Michael C Williams ladies gentlemen inside the Bellator cage

congratulations on an incredible comeback victory ladies and gentlemen your winner Anatoly TOCOM big height difference for late decel he's closer to 65 and a huge reach advantage linden on the outside to keep all da ski down but he wants to actually get his hands on to take him to the ground Michael C Williams with the official introductions Chemical MMA now features tonight's call main then three puppet rounds in the heavyweight division live on paramount Network we introduced the blue corner at six foot four weighing in 246 47 pounds the former light heavyweight title challenger tonight returns to the heavyweight division bringing 18 professional victories seven defeats fighting out of Milton Keynes London England presenting Linton and across the cage his after seven fighting out of the red corner at six foot one weighing in two hundred thirty two point seven pounds near-perfect as a professional he brings seven victories just one defeat fighting hezonia so Russia introducing Valentin Bulldog ski robbery in charge of the action jaren below cheering thank you all with our referee fighter spider bite new gloves for the swarm the dog ski in the red gloves and that is one big heavy weight that he used to fight it light everywhere you look at him you go god dang he's a big man and he is just put together how did he get to 205 I don't know switches his stance just for a moment to south wall we're talking about you know all the years it's cutting down to 205 and joking about those too bouncy goes I'm not though that's a tough yeah Ryan Bader may have to go back as a decision [Music] this is very interesting right here because lately is very strong in his affiliate once is get those hands claps yeah it's him daddy is so strong he can pick anybody up even from odd positions and get them to the ground technically jus and to in his previous four flights as a heavyweight but those were many many years ago and his commitment he will tell you quite frankly was a little bit different back then this is where Lynn has turned into a very strong fighter on the ground you watch what he does that's what we were demonstrating for looking at the fort and figure-four on the leg keeping himself in half guard he does a lot of good things and he is very heavy and very strong so he creates problems with once he puts you on the ground you got to work so hard to get away from here he is trying to slide through himself back to his feet mo Tomsky seven wins four finishes all four finishes have come in the first round this is a hard working type round one with all the grappling and all the clinch work this is exactly where Linton wants this fight though he wants it even if he's got his back against the cage all of this grappling is what he needs because it takes the speed away from home Bob gates what is one of his biggest assets and so this is good right now if it was gone now did you get that separation you did the little dog he's the smaller guy watch the footwork setting up the hands the hybrid if you will make John the hybrid 230 pound heavyweight has been one of the big stories in mixed martial arts overall in the past decade Cain Velasquez is probably you know the front runner he was probably the pioneer he and Junior dos Santos obviously and we've seen the move towards these smaller Drinker heavyweights Ryan Bader for example and our heavyweight gram three who have had great success yeah well you you have you've had this just EDS and flows of guys being huge and then guys getting down you know Randy Couture came in and was fighting a heavyweight about 225 pounds and great glory weight champion even Kevin Randleman go back to him 218 200 into side control you should not have picked his leg up they should have the slip you wanna cut through don't pick up and bring it over that's mistaken that's why he got back into half guard he sure to watch the big John break down yeah you go see how he was successful with it before we got into this thing of behemoths heavyweights on the Brock Lesnar's and the you know Cole Conrad's and all these giant hands and it was the Cain Velasquez coming back all of them and now bringing this weight tour you know phaidor always fought somewhere in the 230 35 pound range and we're seeing that look at what's the hardest thing to deal with is its size and strength or is its speed and when you're a heavyweight it's the speed is what is hard to deal with so a lot of guys are they're not getting to that huge back because they have to carry that weight and in carrying that weight through the fight the kintyre mat they can lose a fight because they can't keep going at that same pace and there is no way that we can have this conversation and not mention Daniel Cormier dated in Strikeforce for so many years doing it at the UFC and that's absolutely look at legacy mounting system president but crews you don't have to be the but first round for Linton Vassell on the ground here look at this elbow that is what gives Moldoff ski a cut right on the corner of his eyes this is where I said you go after Linda self this is the area you want to be in the fight this is how you win it by hitting him to the ground and damaging it with strikes that was exactly what Linda wants in that first round that's why he gets it 10-9 fight round two link knew the self the blue gloves red gloves for Valentin mold Dolph scoop lit Michelle still training South Florida black belt in judo high school in violet and trying to get back to his feet though Bobby did a good job keeping his body centered on him that was a mistake can lead you down the path of failure when you make these big moves you got to be smart in what you're doing mold Oskie got a little bit too into it overcommitted and that's what you seal it in on top right now moltov ski has a law degree had no interest in MMA when he was younger wasn't active until age 18 first met fedor emelianenko in 2015 when he was participating in a Russian MMA championship match said phaidor was an attendance he invited me to Train it was a great honor Here I am today driven by the desire to be the best 27 year old Valentin Moldoff ski party team phaidor the toe cop brothers victorious here tonight team fade are looking for a three and all night near inside the Winstar World Casino and Resort nice pass by Linton you see him using shoulder pressure there he's down because that's not an easy move to get a big man off with he doesn't well keep an eye on the cardio I went to the shop did not have to cut which is a reason to watch the quality of course the many years job but he's also very muscle a lot more muscle than he has in previous my madoski right there and try who's going for a guillotine Lin was able to pop his head out geez guy gets sweaty especially when they're bought you just don't get that same grip there's a difference you know a lot of guys let's talk about guys having beards and all it's you know it's like the chin protection it's like I want a guy to have a beard because it helps when you grab that chin you can hold on you're not hold on to the hair you're not pulling it but it makes it to where it's now sticky instead of being able to slide right out - you're telling clay guida to cut his hair Daniel Straus I've told click you eat it for years because he realize tells me buzz off you also said that when the golf ski visit is from finisher yes he swung his opponents do what I did that I got it yeah did that same reversal as Linda's got to figure out exactly what he's doing because that is the third time alone Bosque has used that reverse to get himself out of a bad position with lady on top being a really big dude with a lot of muscle who is trained at this size for the last eight to ten weeks or a guy who's just hadn't over rendus weight cut I've got to imagine the weight cut he is obviously worse heavy hips keep it down two tons when you're in that type of weight Cutler you're training so much to keep your weight down and then having to cut down it takes so much out of you I know right now Linden's going thank God I didn't have to cut away so the peace of this fight the cardio should not be a concern for the swarm putting the word good time right under the gym after the fight with field agents put himself in a bad position for long time about [Music] [Applause] the place needs to just keep on bringing that pressure dog lady's hips down just a little bit that's why you see Linton pushing against his arm with his right hand is he sick yet not sure but I'd save much more you family that was set up very well lofty lady starting to slow down with all this movement this is what speed does you have to keep up with that pace and that can make you push to a point that it's pushing you off the cliff and that's where we're starting to see right now and that's what mahnovski has told us a couple of times that his speed and his footwork separates them from the other heavyweights and it's a good round for moltov ski here round number two swarming the swarm here in the second five minutes Lord is coming back with that one Briggs's all the pie and that's right into an arm triangle you seal it push it against his arm this is where when you're big and strong sometimes you got to use that to get you to know you're putting a lot of energy but he gets himself out of it it goes into the third round third and final round John McCarthy your scorecard I scorecards first round definitely went to live to sell second round goes to madoski whoever wins this round gets this fight Mull God's key is to a No inside the Bellator cage seven Bellator wins at 205 Clinton the sound of Franken on the Mac Boston top position for team faders Valentia more buzz why do you crane fighting out of spotty Osman nice takedown by much because you stayed with it one of the things a little did you watch Linton's toes kind of went back and that's stopped him and that's what I love about he'd 18 you through that if his feet had been flat with his top to his feet on the canvas sliding back he just would have kept on sliding all the way back old Oscar we're gonna end up on top the sound said he took just two days off after the title fight on the campus of Penn State in which he was finished in round two by the light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Ryan Bader he got caught with the head kick against Phil Davis in a fight through his pretty darn close up to that point who loves is a good fight it's one of those things that I think it was the rustling of phil davis and just that the threat of it is what caused the problems in that fight and eventually because he was worried about that threat when Phil makes a move his hands came down the kid came up he never saw it and that's what it was the hug and Linden did say he admitted that did feel tired going under that third round with that cut of 25 to 30 pounds so he knew win lose or draw but this was his next destination but he's in quite fight against Bulldogs to here John just over three minutes on the clock guys he's starting to get in positions where he's got that nation of inside comes his legacy that means that you're not in a position to be able to move your hips out doesn't want my boss to take his back but he's sitting there in the position you can't just stay here this gotta move oh this is what happens when you do get tired it's you telling yourself I'm gonna do this I'm gonna be that and it just just give me another second and the time goes by and you're not moving and again when you're not moving in MMA you're probably losing past the midway point of this third and final round constant pressure from mold off steam when we talk so much about the cardio and not cutting when it comes to the swarm letting the sound forget about either those 240 2:07 it's the piece that bulldog ski is fought action bits wearing down his opponent exactly it's when you are that faster athlete and you can create a pace that pushes your opponent in a heart rate that is beyond what is their comfort zone beyond what they normally train at beyond what they get those by brown shark tank you know sparring matches in you do that you push them to a point where eventually they start to just break down because their heart rate has been at a level that is too high for them to maintain and they cannot maintain what they're doing to keep up [Music] give along the squeeze but I think because of the first one and what he did my Bostick doesn't want to give up position to try to go back to it for the finish because he couldn't get that first time because the cell is just so big and strong as I mentioned well dog ski has for current finishes all of those came in the first round the Bosque almost has what we call a gift wrap with yarn big shots 40 seconds on the clock this is more exact no matter what and you talk about damage pushing your opponent to a parent where they can no longer continue on your fight that's damage to time title challenger at 2:05 Linton visalo in big trouble here in his heavyweight debut a huge round 314 favorites Valentin mold

the bathroom a division and now first introducing the blue corner at 5 foot 8 weighing in 146 pounds even the veteran professional brings 28 victories 8 losses and 1 draw originally from Moscow he fights out of Riverside California Georgie Karan and across the cage his adversary fighting out of the red corner at 5 foot 9 weighing in 145 and 1/2 pounds coming off his world title challenge he editors tonight with 17 professional victories four defeats fighting out of Milwaukee Wisconsin introducing a month [Applause] [Music] in charge is the action and Jason who saw my father's gone to the roles in the back there were no finer questions for me blue there no clan of questions to the me red if you wanted to do it now Jason Herzog our referee second fight between two of the best at 145 Emanuel Sanchez Georgie car honey fight scheduled for are you ready five are you ready minute right rounds here we go car honey and in the boom box same chance in the red drugs nice left hook by car I need to start to fight off and we come Sanchez you got volume it's funny you'll get guys live Sanchez Sanchez loves to fight there's a lot of fighters out there that they're good at fighting but they don't like to fight Sanchez is not only good at fighting which is interesting John Quincy also commented to us that he loves to fight but sometimes he puts too much pressure on himself he needs to go out there and just let loose and have fun yeah exactly what I thought Georgia car Hanyu should do in taking into the ground that's you guys that's what you're seeing that's showing that Georgie has looked at this fight and says you know what I need to be smart does this guy bring so much I need to control the face and control the position of this fight car honey insect four weeks ago I had no homeland for my fight career now not only am i back with Bellator but I'm in the main event it is absolutely statement time you get these opportunities and they just don't come along every day that you get the opportunity to fight someone that is in that position to be in the title contention like Emanuel Sanchez coming back from not even being in the promotion this is what Guardian is getting this is an opportunity you can't let pass by we had two fights in the country in which he was born there were parts of it that weren't ultra enjoyable that's it that's the condensed sweet I don't very that's a definite cliff note version that's significant Georgiana his fight for a different organization he fought in Russia his second fight he got fouled at the end of the end of the round that were the left hook wallet Bell had rung and he got hurt and he couldn't go out of the fight they gave a disqualification victory to him and then the organization turned it around and just worked to Conda and thought he just gave up he should have fought on it was like you have no idea you know how hurt somebody is when they take a shot without expected and that was the big problem and Jordy says I don't want to fight them he also said I had a really really small hotel blessed to be back the words that he used ready to take advantage of it and again I think it is very important to mention that he's at the training lab so I had a WOD who will be on our main event and a week one archuleta Aaron Pico Club Swanson TJ Dillashaw as coaches Arnold Jimenez and Mark Munoz got a great crew over there and you see Emanuel Sanchez what he's doing he's he's locking down that left arm of car Anya's trying to create an angle that he can do something with but car honey and cue sun's coming out straightening out that angle getting himself centered here comes up with the triangle but he still doesn't have it Sanchez is working off his back now he's not being successful with a lot of doing but he's got a good omen Plata going right now he has the ability to possibly get a sweep out of this right to a triangle and with Georgie on his back that's not a good way jouji sitting on his back is not the place he wants to be when he's got that driver being thrown up but this is the ground game of both fighters this is showing you look at Georgie car honey and has been a black belt in jujitsu for a long time it's showing you the ground game over Manuel Sanchez Manuel from underneath is the guy that's controlling what's happening on the ground Jorge is trying to slow it down and Emmanuel's trying to open it up Sanchez received his pursuing jiu-jitsu blackbelt from coach Daniel Vanderley October 10th of last year remember congratulating him on that shortly before his fight November 15th in tel-aviv so he's done the work on that part of his game black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu since 2011 is Georgie car honey it's not only that black belt in jujitsu Amanda Sanchez it's the wrestling that he's improved in so much all that work with guys like Ben Askren tyron woodley when he's a true for sport it has made him a guy that he's so good in every element that that's why he is where he's at now the manor co-main where his last five fight speaks volumes to the trajectory that is gonna career ten seconds on the clock here in round number one in a good round for Georgie insane harmonies [Music] [Music] Georgie paid just a little bit more man you're always gonna give more to the guy punching on top of the guy airborne and punch it up from the bottom just because gravity is working against hips are going Georgie and that that first round archuleta the Spaniard in the corner of Georgie car honey and here tonight are very wet white golden beg John McCarthy Winstar World Casino and Resort for the 19th time in Bellator history and what a difference that we're seeing in that's just a style of fight that Georgie Carr Hagen is coming after Emanuel Sanchez with compared to the first time these guys matched up first time he's trying to be the kickboxer trying to land the big punch this time he said oh no I'm going back to my roots of going back to my wrestling I'm going back to my jujitsu I'm gonna fight on the ground because that's where I believe I can beat you conditioning or the confidence John that you are in the best condition of your life can change your game plan drastically absolutely look at there's no doubt it's much more taxing much more difficult to be the grappler and to push the pace on the ground and in these positions of the clinch that is something that you've got to have cardio for but he believes he has it now so it can go into this with confidence saying I can get this and I can maintain it that's on Wolves the difference compared to what he had before and we are seeing it on display thus far his coaching staff executive time don't sit he's sitting in that position holding the little tiny scale made it out but you can't sit you've gotta move we've got a if you sit and they're getting hit like the manuals hitting them you're losing [Music] [Applause] exactly to kind of take you out and he would love the hop song is hard and starting to turn here look at the body positioning with Manuel Sanchez look at that knee shielding up inside beautiful job by Emanuel Sanchez this huge it suit game is top-notch now Daniel Wanderlei has done an incredible job of coaching and teaching Manuel Sanchez to be a great graphitic Georgie Claremont ian has never been submitted in his professional career that could all change right now professional fight tonight for Georgie car honey Sanchez seven wins by submission six seven by choke [Applause] what you really should be looking at here as you see in that hand play bonyen is trying to control this try to control the hands manual understands exactly where he's like and watch what he tries to do with his leg see if he tries to take his legs and start to control one of Georgie's arms he does that he's gonna nut lock down one side that he has a free shot going after that choke now Matadors last two wins have been submission finishes after nine straight fights went to the judges scorecards they would love to get another submission victory here tonight an arm triangle choke against Sam Cecilia a triangle choke against the former two-time champion Daniel Straus which was right here back at Bellator 184 and it's telling you exactly when you look at all the fights at Georgia car Hodgins had looking at you know close to 40 fights never once has anyone submitted him so if a manual could pull that on that's saying a lot about where he's at with his ground game good defense cuts so far by tarhun Ian as you mentioned John trying to control the risk trying to tell that beautiful hammer fist he hit him okay though yep this is what this she does everything trying to get it guy to open up just so that guy makes the mistake lifts his head and then he can go for that job Georgie was using the big strain to gauge some shots blind shots at me behind they had to give Sanchez use everything you got amen that's a nice body triangle that you're looking at Manuel having on him he's stretching that leg out it's just a matter of can he get his wrist free and get his arm in the right position around Georgie's neck just 15 seconds remaining here in round two George you throwing those strikes behind him Big John imagine it's one one that's what I would have it as right now no doubt Emanuel Sanchez one that stuck around who gets this dirt round look at manual coming out this is what makes it who he is it is that forward pressure judges again though after [ __ ] fight to the ground and being in the top position the first fight was a majority decision victory for Sanchez a fight in which Havana and thought that he should have been the fighter that caught his arm rings I went to watch that fight there's no doubt Magnus should have gotten that win he's the guy that I would have given that way into but look at that's in the past you've got one round right now for ku okay I can fight with you and I can beat you that's what George is working for was he's got the ability to get this takedown he just can't finish it you see Sanchez reaching inside for that thigh that's a switch to try to get position put pressure down on the shoulder a car Ohanyan as he tries to move this gave up on that [Applause] trying to take the back heavy shots if I'm a matador to the midsection of karmani and this is what you have to be careful if you are judging you're so intent on getting that takedown you're on your hands both in class together and you're just taking shots the judge is looking at it he's going I'm giving the grappling is even and the striking is going to go to Sanchez and he'll end up winning that round so you got to be careful you don't just end up grappling instead of fighting our honeymoon said the first time we met [Music] my fire is he's fighting this fight here in the certain final round it seems like it's inspired or he's trying to know though those are big knee strikes but he continues to go after this take yeah but he's taking shots too and that's what the judges are gonna have to decide one of the best shots because the grappling is basically me yeah Georgie's got him against the fence he's got his arms Class B can't finish that takedown so the guide leg is basically even in this position so now who's landing the better strikes is what they're gonna look at and as Jason Herzog except loads of others [Applause] [Applause] [Music] this is a bad position for Georgie as far as finishing you see that Daniels did a good job controlling that ankle which example intelligence could come up and over now that he has this position he's got side control let's see if he can maintain the position and start to do damage once again Emmanuel Sanchez tonight his 22nd professional fight that's never been stopped under two men mainly vent magnums got a little bit higher on Georgie Georgie needs be very carefully doesn't let him just keep on slinking out and he's gonna end up in the position where Manuel is gonna turn on his knee at the top position there you go [Applause] the tapes tonight the 90 seconds remaining [Applause] Oh beautiful job on manual giving some distance posturing and coming down with a good strike Sanchez said I felt like at a full clip I could have unleashed in my title fight against Patricio pitbull he's trying to unleash everything here in this third and final round that's you watch exactly what advantages did jumps out of the position turns quickly he comes right back at him the guy is a just it not stop motor he's so are do it because of the amount of pressure and that pace that he brings every shot there and another hammer fist from huge amicus Joji discontinue this way it's exactly you can sit there so she shot because the judges agree to the credit to another surgeon fifteen seconds remain [Music] Sanchez trying to close I wanna be page 10 Sanchez down for that come on it's not gonna happen but he's it definitely did the get up to take this round they go the distance here's the left hand my car hunted the start of the fight beautiful left hook but it was the grappling that both guys went after the grappling in the first round this is car Ronnie taking him down Sanchez hitting it he's doing a good job isolating one arm but unable to stop the ground atop and then he comes with that takedown in the second round that was a telling take down big shot wasn't able to finish him wasn't able to get that rear naked choke but easily took the round and then it's the third round it shots like that today the difference maker in this round and that's why Mangal Sanchez
