Bell our referee as we get set for this feather weight fight to get things underway fight scheduled for three five minute rounds [Music] here we go Medina in the blue gloves all tomini in the southpaw stance he is in the red gloves Ultima means last four winds have come in 42 27 18 seconds and one minute and 16 seconds yeah I don't think that's gonna be what you're gonna see this is the event wells contest today between two very good fighters both have their own styles and it's going to be Luke can't implement and force the other guy into the way they want to fight just miss with that head kick nice question mark kick like we would then off I'll pin you trying to get to fight the ground and has changed his style from being a stand-up guy where now he loves to be on the ground and implement a submission game that is becoming ever increasingly better and better full guard being utilized ultimi mean training out of King's MMA Professor Xavier Cordero lots of annealed are you Sh amongst his training partners in his corner tonight then you could take a look at Medina look where he's at Mike Swick and he's got Bob cook in his corner and I so both guys are coming from camps where you know they're getting trained the right way Mike quick quick let's go tell them in this work action he went over to Thailand John and pretty much never came back handles the a.k.a Thailand action gentlemen let's work has done a great job as I mentioned three twins by submission as Michael Bell will stand the fighters up but exactly two minutes into round number one Alton Looney tried to land and beat quite the way we stand again there's that karate background that ultimately has and you can see by the stats take a look at how far he that's that allows him to do certain things were skating attacks and go after some kicks for what you're seeing with what son lean well heard in off his doing he's cutting off that angle which he's taking away the far side that's gonna give adela problems and that's why you're seeing enough kind of shoot to take downs down his head not make a mistake he made a mistake on that first takedown and he needs to start figuring out this range and getting his back off of the fence of compete against Cellini trying to put a lot of pressure on move a gene off will be on in this fight go gentleman action stop they're gonna stand them up again Dyneema anything started here inside for Tonga first fighter born and raised in Iraq does element have to be on the stage this large of Bellator stage representing his country and of course we've talked about the backstory before the US Marine Corps what you're seeing with moody in office he's not he's the one that's in controlling position whenever you have a fighter that's on his back you have well a ddos standing over him as long as he wants to stay in front and try to do damage the referees gonna give him that ability as soon as he decides to back off and step away that's him saying I want this fight to defeat that's what the referees gonna bring into round number one played scheduled for three five-minute rounds and again as you're seeing out to move himself towards his left he's actually taking himself out of range for his power hand his left hand just marching him down just crushing the space saying I am not worried about the stand-up game at home with you and that's gonna be a present a problem for all to me me nice sprawl to work himself in to the half guard now with 20 seconds on the clock here in round one if he trains at aka you know he's got some skills [Music] live from Pechanga Resort Casino on the Bellator app and also on his own router [Applause] Aaron shot early in this round and just for the definition of those at all me a postman as a fight that takes place after the rain part so there would be a pregame he would have the game and then you would have the post games us post live well thank you I appreciate that you can see what occurs that and straight push kick this is where a lot of people will sit there and will say oh it should automatically be a point taking off well the fighters throwing the kick and the fighter who ends up getting hit actually moves into the kick turning and taking away the blade that he had his body positioning so not an easy thing for someone to just all of a sudden stop a kick can't do it [Applause] but down in a lot of pain as you can see he has five minutes in which to look to recover and have this fight continue normally when you have yet you get hit the ones that end up coming up underneath are the ones normally gonna cause you problems straight in usually not that big of a problem because it pushes into your pelvic area but it's hard to ever say how much pain a man is in I'm never gonna try to guess on a shot like that it's all right you'll be all right partner what if he can knock into you well what is what's occurring right now is Adele ultimi is the one in control of the time he has because of a foul there's a five-minute clock that has started and he has up to five minutes to come back into the fight he's the one in control of it right now referee Mike Bell is over there saying you all right you know you want to start but if Mike Bell wants to start the fight doesn't matter adele is the one that's in control of the time and if he lets that five minutes go then we're gonna end up having it actually was based upon the movement on alpha meaning yeah but it's in the second round so you cannot go to the scorecards it has to enter the third round to be able to go to the scorecard say this would end up being an au contraire you ready [Applause] I don't know why he's hitting himself in the back right now it's been three minutes since the chicken third maybe big punches himself in the back party not cool so aims at these up and the fight will continue you ready I like that like the fact that del is not giving into it he wants to fight barely says a lot right fight the thing to sat down after Nene has been cool in life in no comparison to let it turn a moment about spending the Miss pretty good right now Celine for the den office he's the guy that's controlling the range he's controlling exactly when the engagement starts everything that Adele is doing it he's not kick he's trying he's a little bit off-balance that's why when the foot is caught he's going down he needs to really start to set his feet and start to move himself towards his right he keeps moving towards the power hand Abu hidden off and that's not gonna help because every time he takes his foot and steps inside of Madonna's legs he's creating a position for that straight right hand returned with what is his power hand his left hand Dell waking out of the southpaw stance thus far in this fight but he has been the ones circling on the outside and move at Dien off has been the one controlling the cage and the aggressor good combination shot like that even though adele is in this fight but moody knife is getting the point he's becoming just utterly dominant and what's occurring he's feeling better and better as this route goes off and just a returned little axe kid bible hood dinner the bell goes to kick up Dino says no I want to get this thing going fast and it comes right back [Applause] no amateur fights for Salima Rueda mas professional since 2013 all started trying ferrati I gotta create a problem that's what he's trying to do with his grappling right now another outstanding sprawl and again it is new a DeMuth who ends up in top position just past the midway point of this three-round fight top of the hour live on paramount Network nice pass by mu hood did off passing into a half guard when you saw the butterfly guard of I'll tell Mimi that's saying that you know what I'm looking for either that reversal or that position change and all of a sudden he tried to bring his leg outside to almost get close and you saw him with hoods in off bring his leg push down bring his leg over very nice pass the del has evolved into what you talked about John a good grappler that said he does not like being in this position because we can see that Celine's got some pretty vicious ground-and-pound trying to posture up once again looking to throw some elbows so what happens is when you hear in that stand-up and you're taking shots and a lot of them are hard shots they start to just drain you and then finally you get to a position on the ground where he should start to try to become offensive and instead you're telling yourself just give me a second just give me a second and those seconds go by and you're taking more shots and then you just never do anything full control of this fight thus far Bellator debut for Salim Medina final minute of round 2 and notices the posturing of Medina can see now he's getting comfortable in the position there's nothing that's breaking that posture that ultimate he's doing sliding the leg over the arm going to a crucifix now all of this is systematically breaking out to move me down jazz and travel here lost the crucifix trying to get that other leg free potentially get to the full mile 20 seconds or a good job of getting the underhook with his left arm but that you cannot get the unhook and allow posturing because it takes it away so if you're gonna get that under hook bring him down and now start to move yourself into either a reversal or get yourself up off the ground Adel ultimi mean we'll head to round three for the first time in his professional career in personality they're both crazy yeah bleep out didn't say with absolute I'm not triggered ahead stop down you can't stop crazy third and final round [Applause] Adel need to stop dunya absolutely he has lost both of these rounds that's easy to pick so he's got to figure out you know what I've got to either open up if I want to win this or I've got to create a situation in one of the transitions where I catch the del felt his striking and would be as advantage in this fight action but Salim has certainly been the more explosive striker throughout this matchup thus far no time when you're seeing al Tamimi ducking his head taking us eyes off of his opponent as he swings his head down towards the campus that is never a good thing and when your will had enough you're gonna catch that - okay I'm gonna create that situation again and I'm gonna attack that last body kick dead land from Adele move oedema thugs have the tendency to drop his hand close the body - he just hasn't been able to throw a lot about fight adele is starting to get hit with bigger and bigger heavier shots you see in Dean offsetting his feet and a beautiful strong Acula sprawl beautiful spot just stonewalling look at the posturing he doesn't lay down on top of him as he's going after those shots his chest was angled up that gives him the ability to bring more power there was some dude nicknamed The Iceman who sprawled and brawled his way to fame throughout the world Selene look in the past and does so under three on the clock you could hear all Tamizh corners saying show him your jiu-jitsu and that's coming from you know but neil darish who's out standing on the ground but when you're tired and you've taken a lot of heavy shots that ground game just just slow down and you don't take the same you know chances because you don't want to end up in a bad position if it's just keep on riding up past the midway point of the third and final round to be me on bottom again red gloves the newcomers Salim who edema off in the blue gloves and he has controlled this fight throughout the hood and I was looking outstanding just everything he wants to do he's doing you see an Adele grabbing the wrist and you're seeing with hoodie enough move his arm just by creating a situation bring his knee and trap the arm trap it inside I got Adele with you know a two-on-one it's not doing him any good you looking to say that's me that's a nothing you can never become something's let go of that and move to something else with position again from edema 90 seconds on the clock first fight of the night Pechanga Resort Casino Mike Goldberg Big John McCarthy side control okay it's all good I saw it he was starting to actually slide his hips and you saw him rotate his hips turn his hips backward towards the head about to me that's telling you that is starting to look toward I want to hit some some to the body and I want to start looking towards the camera walk or something of attacking the legs and like I said he's trying to get to side control and he's going to right here oh he's gonna go right now we're in what we call quarter guard since he still has the foot which inside but this is a bad position beautiful leg ride you see a wood beam off just taking that knee knee on belly keeping everything he's just flowing on top about to be me in total control the position when you break down fights and partner we talked about him the first thing you said about Salim you said Salim can fight and we can see it right here right now yeah you know and I looked at his record being coming into the six and three and I watched his three losses and they were all two outstanding fighters that he was in each one of those made a mistake and one got caught in submission he's a good fighter superior skill set displayed tonight and a dominant performance by Celine Liu edema against the dowel ultimi me bike one in the books official decision for coming [Applause] [Music] longest fight Videl ultimi means career and Michael C Williams with the official position ladies and gentlemen for the decision will go to your three judges at Kate side your first judge Glenn Paulsen scores the fight 29-28 Aarthi seized it 30 26 and judge Lewis Cobian seized it 3027 I'll have it for the winner by unanimous decision Sunmi the armenian 7 teen career victories 33 years old for years the elder of anatoliy took off and as you can see Mike in the middle of all that 510 510 185 it's virtually identity is indeed and once again Michael C Williams was watching around the world live when the Bellator MMA global app we welcome you to Pechanga Resort Casino prelims here roll on win three five-minute rounds in the middleweight division introducing the blue corner at five-foot-ten Wang in 180 5.6 pounds his professional record 17 wins eight losses two draws by way of Armenia he fights out of hims Kirk Holland presenting her not sure and across the cage his adversary out of the red corner at five foot ten weighing in 184 point three pounds the veteran professional brings 28 victories just two defeats fighting out of study host Co Russia introducing Anatoly don't call in charge of the action your referee Jason Herzog Jason Herzog our referee middleweight fight Anatoly tow Cobb a member of team Fedor and the Alexander Nevsky sport club against team moose Aussies borracho darpinian are you ready okay here we go red gloves for Tonkov blue gloves for their opinion who has only been stopped once that was by rear naked choke back in 2011 toe cough has finished nine of his last 11 victories where's our opinion needs to be very careful is it the stand-up came here coke off his super strong he's fast and explosive in family he hits you at that right hand to put city block two shots right there with toke off one of the young studs of this middleweight division always inspired to be around Fedor and yes in this camp Fedor Emelianenko has been training so not only Hannah told me but his brother who will fight later he's fighting a hole for that right hand already what you're gonna have to see out of Darian he's got the speed he cannot stay right in front of him especially with no head movement like you're seeing right now unbeaten in his last five fights dar pinion a lot of success with Gaelic Mousasi gate guards brother and the team Costello Bands team is outstanding as well but that Armenian connection is what first ignited the darpinian and Gegard Mousasi relationship 90 seconds into round one red gloves stole gob blue gloves dark pinion he's swingin amiss when you're seeing a fighter take that type of action in that giant swing it's telling you he's right now he's not comfortable at all with what's being presented in front of him inside I had the big shot in the stand-up to do something to either create a situation where he actually connects with toke off and puts it down or just to create that space for a moment he's be careful cuz every time you swing wild open for an attack a tow cos gonna start to take advantage that if he sees it toke off with a Bellator victory over former champion Alexander storm Clemente oh that was back in October of 2018 we are ready knew that he was a force to be reckoned with but when you take on the storm and you're able to weather it if you will you know this kid's got some real skills 28 professional fights with our pinion with a straight right it was a big straight right and this is what when you're watching someone like cook toque off what I love about what he does is he's so calm and so relaxed and he knows I don't have to win this fight in the first minute second minute this minute I'm just gonna let this thing come to me and when I get an opening I'm gonna attack him that's what you're seeing in Duke twenty nine years old thirty first professional fight side control not only side control put up completely with his back flat on the canvas that's showing a lot of control by toka crucifix position winner of 21 of his last 22 you can see he's blocking with his head controlling that right arm of darpinian the left arm is trapped between his legs he's trying to turn out of it and right now he could just open up at will with that right hand Mike bad position for her Acho darpinian don't forget top of the hour for great fight slides on paramount Network one thing I always look for is fighter that's his position Roy Nelson is fantastic when it comes to this crucifix position and it seems natural and easier to hit with a punch but if you start opening up with elbows elbows cause a lot of problems for referees guys can only take so much you'll see is there getting hit with that bone it makes them start to turn their face away close their eyes and that's when the referees will start coming out stop the fight 40 seconds now on the clock here in round 1 is our opinion pretty much in survival mode he's taking a lot of shots but he's working nice big left elbow choke off and just completely in control of everything that's happening in this fight those shots coming up underneath the arm you cannot see him and those do hurt those are the ones it'll put you out because when you don't see a punch you can definitely stun you he's got the bat final seconds of round number one toke off continues to look outstanding inside the Bellator that's a 10-8 round younger brother Wladimir toke off will fight later tonight second time the brothers are fighting on the same card he did it at Bellator June 18 part of our bonus coverage on the Bellator app and on his own you can seed our opinion as not cousins at normal Orthodox style fighter meaning he stands with his left foot forward his right hand is his big weapon but he's switching now trying to figure out what he needs to do to try to get toke off either off of him for a second Ward way he can open up for an attack toke off delivered a straight right that was the biggest punch of round number one again it's it again you can see see how far darpinian goes back that's telling you that's Dunham and he's trying to gain space to gain time so he can get himself back get his legs feeling okay that's smarts movement by him but it's telling the judges yeah that one hurt and our pinion is a guy that we know can strike you train the Gegard Mousasi team you saw see training Hollins you've got some striking skills to save the least you've got caught in that first round Big John as it was throwing a kick that's when toke off hit it with the right hand and one of the things you're gonna see how to toke up hook up does not want to get into basic clinch positions with our opinion because he does have very good judo Allah you know on Carlo Parisi and of the past we will utilize those clinch positions to get the takedown right now the opinions in a position where all the damage that's been occurring is starting to have a take a toll on it and you're seeing him start to just be diminished in the fight we have an Armenian beam going right now yeah Carl Brizzi borracho darpinian black belt in judo and time training with the national judo team in holland and a national champion in judo dutch national champion back in 2005 as we showed you graphically before move to Holland as a refugee at age 13 back in 1999 Seto cannot travel again though yeah toke up now very heavy with his left hip doesn't have a hook you can see his leg is entwined with the leg of opinion he's just giving a heavy hip ride and [ __ ] that big shot with that right hand Rafael Lovato junior defeated darpinian teammate Gegard Mousasi to become the middleweight champion and Anatoly toke off has been pretty vocal saying he is ready to challenge for the title I tell you what with what we're seeing tonight you take a look 28 - he absolutely has a claim to say I should be the number one guy deserves the shot at the bottle junior four and old in Bellator with three finishes let's do a good work it's not bad and the one man he went the distance with Alexander Shlemenko was top kept up his top student his teammate his training partner Alexander Shlemenko we will watch Andre chorus cough fight in our main event on paramount Network that comes to a top of the hour past the midway point of this white-looking the mood of full mouth right now he is in quarter guard you see him he still got that foot trap broke off this one his step two all the way across me coming outside control this entire fight he has been the guy deciding where the engagement was gonna be held if it was gonna be on the feet are on the ground he's the one doing all the attacks our opinion at this point is a very defensive fighter and is just trying to figure out where he got again look at the crucifix position this is where he had him in the first round not at time to work partner one minute remaining here in round number two now he's got it with that right hand and he's got a heavy heavy right can't move his hips just being able to bring it back you can bring a lot a lot of power down on top of the opinion those who see the elbow right there those are the ones that you you hear them when you're inside the cage you'll hear this something solid it just alters your perception and he may stop this fight I see you it's all over Anatoli TOCOM moves to five and home inside the Bellator cage just keeps getting better and better he's fighting smarter and smarter especially in the fact that he's not trying to press the fight he's letting the fight come to him he's making great decisions take a look at the crucifix here traps the arm with the knee he's already got the other arm with his head basically trapped soul darpinian cannot block any shots you can see where both of his arms are at not a good position to be in and then out comes the elbows the heavy elbows start raining down referee Jason who's not gonna see what I was talking about when you're the referee and you're inside and you're hearing this you hear that basic smacking of hard object against hard object and it tends to make the referee say you can only take so many importance to stop the pipe it was actually a very good call by Jason Herzog got a beautiful win for toko we go back to that phrase you so often a fighter needs to have the ability to intelligently defend himself hard to do that without your hands you've got that right and an ultra impressive performance by Anatoly choke off Michael C Williams will make it official ladies and gentlemen inside the Bellator cage referee Jason Herzog waves off the contest due to unanswered strikes officially four minutes 38 seconds round number two the winner by TKO Anatoly if you are tale of the tape six foot six foot one but look at the reach advantage that Derek Anderson brings to the cage he is a good stand-up fighter fighting an outstanding gunfighter in bumbo let's go to Michael C Williams Rafa chapter resort resort casino the action here continues at Bellator 229 three five-minute rounds in the welterweight division introducing the blue corner at six foot one Wang Han 170 point four pounds his professional record 10 wins five losses by way of Brazil he fights out of Los Angeles California presenting the bag Boombah and across the cage his adversary out of the red corner at 6 foot weighing in 160 9.6 pounds as a professional 15 victories 3 defeats fighting how the Vista California introducing Derek [Applause] referee in charge Mark Smith highlights from Derick Anderson this is against Zack Busha he had a very tough fight always winning in the stand-up but when I would get to the ground Busha was giving in trouble Derick Anderson is a guy that can control the fight with his stand-up game usually has a very good submission game and he's gonna have to be able to be defensive against ball but today here we go Derick Anderson in the red gloves buh-bah in the blue gloves [Applause] [Music] [Applause] good hands by Derrick Anderson nice and relaxed looking for his shots when Derrick Anderson feels confident he can go against anyone he's got two wins already against when put tricky pitbull a guy that you looking at is going to rise in to compete in their tournament is outstanding in the stand-up game Derrick Anderson it's a handful for anyone when he believes in himself and gear me bombuh John happens to be my favorite city in Brazil Belo Horizonte better look at me yes thanks Captain Obvious you're welcome Jared Anderson really controlling the base at location this fight land he beautiful low leg kicks he's hitting that cab kick Mama's having a lot of problems and needs to figure out how he can adjust the distance and range that's occurring cuz right now he's losing all of these exchanges Bamba has finished all ten of his career wins coming off the fight against David Rickles enriched the tape and walked away with his armorings it's so good to see Derek Anderson back in the Bellator cage he had a fight with the pavement off of a accident with a motorcycle that he had a long recovery from him he says you know what I learned a lot from it back that's a good thing that's fight 540 days ago course when you talk about that you think about the amazing story Daniel Straus is return to full-time mixed martial arts combination and Erik Anderson nice combination going after him not going out to the water keep bringing the kick up behind the hands Eric banisters landing some big shots Rosco eNOS is ease pumping forward trying to suppress that distance looking for his counter shots which is just landed with the right hand I mean you look at the opponents in which Anderson has faced inside the Bellator cage as you mentioned but treating pitbull twice Brandon girths Marcin held Brent primis syat alive Derrick couples these fought the best of the best he is been in there and he's younger he is a junkyard dog he's that he's that California kid that looks like he's just a surfer he's worst nightmare he's more than up on these shots you got one right hand by Bombay gave a little cut under his left eye Anderson said in a quote have striking the advantage on this fight accidental I poke gobblers clear you got a cut underneath of it give you a little time okay let's give a little time to recover and let's see if we need to bring the doctor in okay are you played a saver we can see it's just the swipe of the hand coming down catches the lower lid Bubba that's what bothered Errol sliders right see the redness in his eye all right North in a Burton he's got to be careful it was not all right intentional my nature is just trying to like keep it the distance how's your vision blurry yeah okay just take a second okay in averting so you're ready to go okay all right let me know you can see the fingers just just swiping across the ID you can see the reaction right away super-good knock i closing up with Derrick Anderson referee Mark Smith trying to give him time he should bring in the ringside physician because Mark Smith is not a doctor and there may be something else that is wrong with the eye that a doctor at least can look at that would be a sort of thing for to do it also swings no time for time are you quite so Derek Wells more talk orphan he decides the battle continues double jab followed up by a straight right the time you see a double jab and Emma Mayen is in the box fingers yes Lee moved off the paper sometimes he doesn't even need to follow up exactly where Jeremy wants to be in the top position Mamba has been training partner with Jose Schilling plate off in over the past three years he's got an outstanding ground game his striking has really come along he first started them tonight striking was not his strong suit beautiful position he's got that on and he's got the ability to take that arm movement by Derek Anderson coming down around 20 piece set by Derek Anderson in his long-awaited return going on here you see Jeff Danis of getting those hands together now what he needs is instead of his back being bowed and bent and he's he sucked his hips up into his opponent when he sucks his him there he comes to take down Bamba a black belt in kickboxing a very highly decorated black belt in Brazilian position is a step through nice job by Derrick Anderson and a good me on the way up there's that jab stiff jab down the middle right hand touching the chin comes back with the left hook Derrick Anderson throwing in combinations again look at that nice stiff jab all those nice three punch combinations fight round to pick John round 1 now what easily goes to Derrick Anderson tonight Bamba and the blue gloves the barbaric Derrick Anderson in the red gloves hoping to earn his seventh Bellator victory one of the things I was wondering about Derrick a machinist fight as if it got into the second third round burger how was his conditioning wasn't going to come out it had to be a little bit F since he hasn't been on the cage for a while but he looks good right now finishes last between January 16 2015 then standing of our own right here inside the Pechanga Resort Casino as I mentioned bombo's finished all ten of his career victories and you could see the difference in the positions of both fighters Derek having his hands down low table keeping his hands up in the courts additionally stands up to protect this gym it's obvious that Derrick Anderson is open mama has the ability to touch that chin he put him out but when he was swimming with his hands down from his hips sometimes it's very difficult if you had their hands up high to see they started out crunch segments there before you realizing he can I on that because Derrick is really wide time he is going like this drag on body heat he's putting a lot into these shots in back in back in cashews the only time Derrick Anderson has been stopped was five and a half years ago because by triangle choke [Applause] Marcin held in the second round trying to lock up the deity jokin he does not have the position right now for that to be effective where he's at a lot of people have been as submitted by a guy named Carson Holliday said if you feel bad about is a leglock [ __ ] bombuh an equal-opportunity finishing five wins by knockout five wins by submission just past the midway point of this three-round fight this is where mama needs to be but he needs to be smart about give up your hands if you have something clearly yourself back keep the position you don't want Derrick Anderson to come out on top this is exactly what he does right now it's a high guard it's not a triangle position but he's searching for it he's looking to bring that leg across set up either the armbar or the triangle he's got the legs in the position where he can do it Derrick needs be careful about leaving one hand in one hand out he's to push through that guard just like he's doing right now 90 seconds round 2 round 1 going to Derrick Anderson 8 days from tonight on paramount and his own we had to Milan Italy for a clash in the light heavyweight division as the former champion Raphael Tobiah moves up to middleweight to test his skills against top contender but he meant all that's next Saturday at 9 p.m. on paramount Network we've got Bellator kickboxing we've got Milan Europe which features Melvin Manhoef and then our paramount to zone show gonna be a busy day going to be a great time and beautiful Milan Italy to buckle up and just watch all databases please let me go Derrick Anderson posturing try to bring down heavy shots there may need to start thinking about either I got a control that posture and set up some submissions I'll get myself out of here compete right now he's the guy taking shots needs to think about I have got to get out of this position I can't have Derek on top of me just opening up shots [Applause] that's what he's trying to do right now like to see it don't work don't sit there create this clamp and create that transition final seconds of round two round okay third round [Music] I got the round Python third and final round Bumba in the blue Anderson in the red Eric Anderson again John yep said nine Derick Anderson I got ball but down the ground he's got to do something specially in this round he wants his fight mama said he began training at age 16 in jujitsu because I was skinny and I won eight to be strong resilient jijiksa world champion two-time member of the discernments Egyptian national team I was just a hard shot Eric Anderson landed on Buscaino ser not the good spot I had more towards the middle of his forehead but I still had in fact [Music] never been stopped [Applause] at the lace you want to change that with your legs you were breaking this one down with me but you talked about the fact that if this was mostly a stand up battle it would certainly favor the man with a nickname Barbera yeah he's just got a longer reach better technical stand up and is good at toward those combinations when you're watching she kills a lot of signals those signals are easy to dealt with with those multiple that life becomes deadly bombas got to go to work here when he does all these shots are starting to have an infection it's like after you getting hit you're feeling up you just don't want to take that chance to have that excellent do the same thing so you start to slow down hesitate once you start to hesitate and the fight know

that's a big advantage right there right now against 39 year old Mauricio Alonzo his last appearance inside the Bellator cage was against Josh Koscheck at Bellator 172 and the finest referee in the history of mixed martial arts was there this is his fight against Josh Koscheck I was a reference to I remember it well he said that and he'll and it's finally putting it out on Josh Josh had no idea where he was at that was the biggest win of Mauricio Alonso's career another one here tonight we do have a delay based upon we do not have a ringside physician in place that Jason Herzog our referee will not start it until that happens that fight John in which you reffed in San Jose was 958 days ago Alonso back to face off against five and Oh Johnny ablum doc is in place Herzog starts the fight and we are underway Johnny ablum in the red gloves Mauricio Alonso the native of the salt Paulo Brazil in the blue gloves came to the u.s. in 2011 you can see John isn't that nice for work in and out just giving him little looks as a superior wrestler his wrestling is outstanding very tenacious but gotta considered do I want to go to the ground with Mauricio Alonso who's got a very good submission game obviously Johnny says I don't care I'm taking it there listen I'm with you and Michael see Williams just made po sends an official work he say if the boy says it then it's real hashtag coastlands here on the Bellator app and a zone from Pechanga Resort Casino the real thing you're looking for here when you see Maurizio Alonso change that angle create that angle in here you're seeing Johnny eteland just blew himself Center himself back up that's saying that he knows what's happening he feels those attempts start to come he knows exactly where he's that what he wants third fight inside the Bellator cage for the third degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Alonso with a long lineage with the Gracie family training out of the CSA gym combat sports academy Darian Fitzgibbons the head coach of course their big body shots with that right hand by Johnny a blood those you can only take for so long that's why you saw do you see lots of move from it over guard do a closed guard try to slow that progression down one thing you'd want to see how to Johnny even here is he's got to start to control his posture though you've got the pressure on the cheap against the fence and he's good posture those shots that you're able to throw and I have just that much more power his 27 years old born in Kansas City a member of American Top Team Mike Brown Dean Thomas Steve macho King mo all amongst those who coach Johnny ablum coach for many years by James Krause Satori Emma Mayen in these Summit Missouri obviously had some good people given him some very good searching point one of the things on bring up mo long one of the highest fight IQs you will ever find a guy that sees things understands the game and comes up with beautiful plans of how to attack an opponent that has a specific skill Johnny's got some good training fighters to Jorge Mazda dog nothing el caballo amongst those he worked out at American Top Team in this is a good start for five and old sold to boy Johnny up a notch Johnny he's just a buzz saw right now on top of Alonzo Alonzo is trying to break that posture trying to slow down the progression of what Johnny was able to do but getting some shots and again through it takes so much all four of his finishes John have come in the first round he's trying to make that right right now he still has a little bit of time every ceilings got a lot of skill off of his back he understands how to try to control that posture to take it to a point where there's not a lot of power on the shots that are landing Hubert is working against that block going on right now 20 second throw fighting for a line so he's only been stopped once good elbows Alonso looking to control the posture of the Missouri Tigers [Applause] I talked about Johnny but half of that mean streak being aggressive is you can see it the way he's fighting he does not care about what mauricio Alonso brings in the submission game he's basically saying I'm gonna take you down I'm gonna be on top and I saw from that position because I don't think that you have the skill to submit big hammer fist [Applause] good start for Johnny Upland Jitsu all the guys that are out of ATT that you get to work against those guys and you see the attacks that they bring and that also did you come into the fight and you think only what's going on you go to the ground regarding fine nothing's changed I've seen it before did you make him feel old yet have to ask Mauricio that this is not a fair question no it's not wrong to read gloves for Johnny Appling blue gloves for Mauricio Alonso nice job of moving away from that right hand and the power that it has move towards that Taj Mahal and away from your taking Steve off of it sparked back in 2007 Alonso moved from Sao Paulo to cure teba to train with Anderson Silva he was there for four years and said he's a very tough time in his life he didn't have any money basically lived at the gym that to have the ability to train with a spider was worth the sacrifice in which he made to try to utilize those leg kicks to give Johnny a problem and there's staked out well-timed on that kick John and the real question here is now that we're in the center of the cage without the feds to cause any difference as far as I could choose the side I want to go to I can swing into things let's see if we're on Thursday that will open up and try to attack even with a submission here Zuri State wrestling champion 87 career wins at Missouri Johnny started wrestling at each I'm guessing she took round one I would think so yes I'm still evil up to you though I like that in fact we're gonna know that you gave him a ten nine official nice job unofficially I like what I see you're learning things we talk about is you've got to open up that guard if you're going to go for attack right now Alonso opens it up goes right back to the close and you're in that close guard there is no submission attempt or you've got to open the guard to create the angles and the attacks needed that close guard basically on top might not be getting hurt definitely with the fight we've been fostering nice shots big landing but Lisa's showing the judges I am going after this guy I have tried to finish this fight see a module trying to bring us up a cross trying to create an angle evil just being confident position manic body shots kind of posture town big more power the old Mark Coleman grounded palette special The Godfather [Music] [Music] working within the guard or reseal Alonso coached by Daniel Gracie for many years started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 1997 with Ian Gracie trained 11 years with him in Sao Paulo 97 someone's wife told me that it was a Ryan Gracie look at look at how you've learned her hey our is H in Portuguese [Music] good grounded power hammer fists 10 seconds the 27 year old looks good [Music] five minutes remains in this middleweight fight buddy ready fight we read gloves for the Missouri Tiger saw Polo's Alonso in the blue gloves good shot to the body nice change of levels Nicaragua realizes out behind hands I need to try to do something he's coming forward trying to create a pressure on John England Tarantino Yama grappling coach at CSA Soulja Boy possesses a heavy right back so if you look smartly Shahir there it is right like you didn't connect that time [Music] not even just controlling the position we've shown through the first two rounds that this is not almost with a can opener trying to open the guard there but this is not a position he is feeling threatened it anyway believes that he can see start to open up and do damage but I won't give it to Alonso he's done a very nice job minimizing the amount of damage he's taken of the guy that's been on top so close to ten minutes already and still not see any heavily swelling no marks so he's doing a good job at the fender which is kind of validating the point that I made earlier and you can see why Johnny's only been stopped once in 21 professional fights very good very good defense able to you know he'll take a shot able to protect himself that second third shot it's going to hurt him it's all great use of his skill set which is Brazilian jiu-jitsu he's just not in the position where he's able to get that submission against Johnny even and Johnny of course said you've said before once to become the great the next great Missouri wrestler to turn the corner and become a mixed martial arts champion Chandler T wood and Ben Askren not a bad trio hammerfist what happened cannot control the posture of your opponent Alonso going back to breaking that posture down bullying leveland down on top wood to stop the amount of power he's if you generate with those happen face everyone looks at a hammer fist they think oh it's just a hammer a hammer fist hurts you could bring a hammer fist down on someone with the use of gravity as hard as you can punch someone with a straight shot like the former heavyweight champion B hammer from the Ohio State the Ohio's the Ohio State University Mark Coleman the late Kevin Randleman also great ground-and-pound former heavyweight champion lost him way too young there's those hammer fists again [Applause] we utilize hammers is shifting it man the hammer or then it mean the smashing [Applause] stunted to the point where he doesn't know where he's at but he's definitely felt that we caught him gotta be careful 30 seconds remain make sure you keep that arm to the outside sharp elbow from the bottom but it appears it will be much too little much too late for the 39 year-old a nice pause see that on Justin inside the leg no danger crossing anything it's a high guard this one goes the distance I shot that shot leads it to get inside doesn't really have to change levels much but drives that double leg takedown this is what I'm talking about hammer fist hammer fist start landing flush on the side of your jaw they hurt they're a heavy they've got all that gravity coming straight down that helped them become heavy you see those shots landing on the lawns over Michael C Williams has our official decision ladies coming for the decision we'll go to your three

Belton on his opponent tonight in Riley Miller two-time division 3 national champion at Wisconsin Whitewater Newman in the red gloves the pale Panda the brown belt in Brazilian Jujitsu making his professional debut in the blue glow Riley Miller will go for submissions from all kinds of positions but he needs to be careful when you have someone that's grabbing hold you can only take so many shots here he's got to extend those hips don't allow Jordan knew but to use his hands on that neck to control where your head is at Riley Miller said he may be a better wrestler but I am a better fighter Joseph said I'm the funniest guy I know I just don't know how many people involved see that is me I kind of got that and right here Ryder lures figure I've got his leg in twine I have something that I can go after it but he's got to get Neumann out of that position and right now he's trying I can't do it from where I'm at so then switch it up and go to something else instead of taking these shots you can only take so many left hands to the head before it starts to alter who wore [Applause] milkman with a really good solid base coming from his wrestling background he's going to be a hard person to get off balance he's given himself a little bit of space to work his ground in power and I like what Riley Miller is trying I like the fact that he's going after this but you could only figure out thought if I stay with this I've just taken these shots I've got to change the something else that's what he's doing now Jordan Newman a member of the Rufus sport mmm a team led by our good buddy to Lucas Scott Cushman Daniel Wanderlei where's Ben Askren Pettis brothers Paul's elder my big roads [Applause] and a good start for the 24 year old in his second professional fight Barry and I start good transitioning by Jordan Newman you see Riley trying to do himself underneath turning the position Newman just rides him on top coming back out into that first position Riley we have as a unbeaten amateur of Clive Owen one with four submissions and one knocked out as I mentioned he brown belt in Brazilian Jujitsu David Pacheco amongst his training partners is a bad spot go early and you see you saw the crucifix position done by Jordan Newman getting very spark just taking that left hand nice little shots back and forth he's just systematically dominating the positions and breaking Riley Miller down where Riley's gonna have to change his attacks [Applause] after all crucifix position doesn't have the left off in place right now that's why Riley's never will bring it over to tribal boxing shots [Applause] looking for seven shots like that Tyler and I talked to the action this is not what we talked about you know it only takes so many shots black belt gets dropped down to a brown belt purple belt blue belt eventually a white belt when the brains not functioning don't take so much you may become less than a weight belt yes you can you can become unconscious there we go he's trying to protect himself here Mike Beltran saying that exact thing he's trying he's working you know he's in a bad spot yeah but he's also not really being bad so you gotta let a guy run through this see if he can control get himself back out of the position that sits on level 2 and on Jordan Newman with his first career finish very dominant performance by Jordan Newman that was really impressive came out throwing his hands going for the takedown stopping any kind of entwine on the leg there outstanding performance by Jordan River [Applause] coach kirschtorte family please with the performance of Jordan Newman there's the shot kind of put Riley Miller down you knew he had a ground game and he went for it with the entwining of that leg but he was stuck in that position just started taking big left hands and all these positions and kept getting hit with shots and eventually when you're bringing both hands on one side of your head we tell fighters all the time you start to do that it's kind of like being Dorothy saying I want to go home and we're gonna allow you to do that we're gonna get you out of the fight with the official decision once again we check in

the red gloves what a grappling career parrot Yoshida has had just an amazing grappler so you know with him working with Kelvin gentlemen's ground game he's got to be really top-notch about this one and then one more a state post limbs JJ Wilson the Apple are mentioned teammate Cheney Motel is up next take time River gets all the way across the cage getting in there bouncing him off the cage into that takedown we'll see what Kelvin can do from this position Alvin's last fight John was an amateur fight about 13 and a half months ago he was scheduled to debut here a couple of months ago but David Pacheco had some weight issues so the week now is finally over for Kelvin to make his professional debut I've watched Kelvin and quite a few grappling tournaments and is an outstanding grappler he knows his position it's very heavy on top and if he can get to the top position getting city's back to the canvas here he's gonna be able to have an opportunity of ending his fight he's got that kind of ground game and Submission attack [Music] so he's got sevilla say he's got a build as Wipro v-bar her [Applause] doesn't have his legs set where he wants his hips for it go for a toehold soon he born in Brooklyn raised in Washington DC you see Kelvin trying to figure for his legs to stop any ability for that play attack could happen both of his wins have come by first-round knockout a chav Achilles control that I just let the drop good transitions by both guys Imhotep said the most important lesson he took away from his last which was his first Bellator fight was not to rush to pick his shots a little better he said I'm a perfectionist I want all my fights to be flawless this is a guy who won in 44 seconds Oh his first performer than those three uppercuts that he landed pretty good performance with a little bit more patient weight he do it in 54 seconds so they've gone for the guillotine here doesn't have his legs in the position I'd want to see him to be able to create that same squeeze he tried to suck him in and he's gonna bring everything together wasn't able to finish it off [Music] and a long height and reach advantage don't kid yourself is also a factor in the ground game well it is but the best part of the hut the ground is everyone is the same height thing yes you can have Shaquille O'Neal on the ground or the height is and also all of those elements that God gave you are taken away I step over by Kelvin Kelvin trying to work his way to the full mound he's in the turf this is the kind of fight that get top and unwanted look at that nice steffel right there and that's what we're talking about this is where you look at a guy and his grappling ability and it's the moves that he makes 35 City the first the position sunny should stand up right now stop playing another man's game see how you keep yourself there now always have your back to defending instead of being in that offensive position Genta pond in a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under as John mentioned the highly decorated grappler Barrett Yoshida [Music] [Applause] [Music] ready thanks for making that thank you for making fun partner round two red gloves for imhotep blue gloves for Jetta party sunny making the mistake of crushing that distance when it should just relax if you missed that first strike back yourself off reset now you're up against a cage like out of the man's game again which is what he was talking about when he said what he should learn from what was a quick finish but in the bigger picture he understands to be successful you gotta wait and finishes a finish whenever happens and he has finished all eight to bind professional and amatuer wins you saw the wingspan when we gave that region 83 inches that's one inch off of the the biggest one I've ever seen in finding in a guy named bones Jones yes in Florida that's a huge advantage if you can utilize it the right way but it was what we're seeing the tappan is doing a great job of taking all of those elements away and putting those five exactly where he wants it to do well nobody in the history of the game utilizes wingspan better than Jonny bones Jones not just the arms but those long legs as well it's kind of made for fighting yes it is all right go for a little bit of success [Applause] [Music] so I said he trying to push it off and he'd snap himself up to a standing position the time of a great job of holding that leg not allowing his way to get pushed all the way back just needs to think about how he's gonna pass guard here or posture these defensive posture in fact we shall see about stuff hands down [Applause] closing the distance again it's the 30 year old making his professional debut looking for a camera here you see topping up bringing his leg close to us through the arm cannot be brought up smart defense [Applause] it's going to tell me to stay on that [Applause] great but you got it no one which is what he's attempting to do right here ended up giving his back top and now has both votes in you see sunny Trevor reach down for that dr. Hook's in these control warmer than hands if I control my hands I'm gonna be okay with bring one on Club trophy it's going to be that easy for them to do but if you don't control any of the hands we're putting your hands down towards his fianc bad things can happen quick so just that little bit of space to the advantage country and [Applause] topping it eat the rotten shots there but then coming up getting into the body she could get locked his hands together getting at this takedown those hands are together and utilize that white base to prevent being taken down let's say his inseam is so long he was able to drag his feet keep himself from going down hard elbows by Sonny here's what he turned the position inside ends up on top and this is what you really like to see from a guy don't just sit there go after him and he opens up sitting image up just going after big shots bouncing one up the forehead there another one the topping and saying I got a move I got to get out of here goes bubbling the ice [Music] Israel sir Kraus covered all the eyes of all the Ike's gotten all the eyes hi sweeties [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] who's up in this one partner I would say we are the real question enhances the top and it didn't do all on top of some gaps it's a matter of what credit did the judges give Sonny as far as he had two attacks in there that's currently give him obviously kotappa my opinion wins the first round easy I would honestly said the second one but I could see someone giving it to Southern anything so mo tap in the red looking 2 to 3 and knows as a professional gent upon in looking to earn a victory in his professional debut just opponent look at just for that that right time time his ability to get into it picked up again try to get back to the ground that was the tool he's using that first Bellator fight where he got the knockout should go back to it it's available to him and because of his length because John we often talked about that lead uppercut being a dangerous strike because he dropped that hand to throw it with the leg imita takes a little bit of the danger [Applause] in the tech is so concerned with getting taken down again the ones trying to deceive he can't touch and hurt the top of it but it's always the gimmick we talked about that's those twos threes fours is when you catch the guy who doesn't see me there's punches in bunches where you can see the top it doesn't quite have the energy and the drive it needs to get that takedown like he had in the first and second round definitely an adrenaline John [Applause] as waited a long time to make his professional debut and fighting late in the card here this evening in Pechanga this runway when your arms are now heavy yeah I feel like they're kind of pounds each you've got to try to ping a puck to block shots predict it and this is the way [Applause] and somebody just put Facebook back [Applause] what's up how's ability lavish out that can end this by giving him win he's been smart he has as I mentioned finished his control an amateur wins under 90 seconds now remaining in this fight [Applause] especially since you have no idea how the judges have looked at some times and suck around and you gotta say I probably didn't win them if you're immature gotta say I gotta do something here I got a great a situation where the transition get myself back on my feet holmen's you have to do that here on go here 40 seconds [Applause] does not have it [Applause] rose garden [Applause] this one as many of our post limbs goes the distance and it's in the hands of the judges now neither guy right now extremely confident both worrying about what the judge saying don't blame him and then the longer this goes the more you're going oh my god without doing say wait I I thought this was gonna be an easy one for them to figure out and now I'm getting a little bit nervous yeah let's see what the judges have decided our decision is determined and here is Michael C

three five-minute rounds Tony first out ready Joe ready Python here we go Joe shilling in the red gloves tony johnson in the blue gloves this fight is all about the range you're gonna see that jose shilling is the kickboxer he's gonna want to utilize a lot of good strong leg kicks that he possesses and heat tony johnson more to the outside tony has got to crush that space and get inside of that kick to stop Joe from kicking at it and utilize his hands Joe showing two and a half months of training on the ranch with cowboy Cerrone says I have played suit are do very simple form because of that Tony Johnson a member of the team it's aka has sparked a lots with DC Daniel Cormier in the past and where you will see Joe Schilling in my opinion have a big advantages in the clinch when they come together if there's a clinch situation you're gonna see Joe shillings elbows become a big striking tool and he is dangerous with him that's why they call him stitch about cuts guys all the time - tag Bellator - 29 on all social media platforms and there's the use of the leg kicks not talking about Jose Schilling Kent absolutely destroy your leg with only a couple of kicks he's got that kind of power and that's something Tony Johnson said straight out when we talked to him John he said I cannot let him chew my leg up exactly and he's right and to do that Tony Johnson has got to create that pressure and squeeze inside to cut off that distance so drug does not go towards those trips two minutes in we're seeing a completely new and just a different Joe Schilling when he is in the Bellator cage because he came in to Belfort as a kickboxer and actually you know looked at it like hey I'm so good with my kickboxing I can still do that and do MMA and it just doesn't work that way he has committed himself being an MMA fighter and you can see the drastic improvements he has made and you can see how calm he is while he's in the cage and all of his attacks just systematically breaks a guy down his MMA fight IQ has grown astronomically and as you have said before and being a cowboy boot and stop cruise you're given Donald Cerrone are the perfect match you know both of them they fight a lot of like even though Donald's got an outstanding ground game that Joe is trying to learn but both of them together it's the perfect combination of Chris Boni Johnson has nothing but respect for Joe showing had a long great from mixed martial arts four gears seven months during that time he was a professional boxer Tony Johnson took a big left elbow and he's still blinking having a hard time my stiff jab by Joe Schilling [Music] no shelling of course has competed in Bellator kickboxing Salem Tony Johnson [Applause] [Music] stitch them up is you said John is now trained exclusively in MMA for the past two years and when you see like the kick that you saw Joe Schilling bring up on that left side and it hits the arm that's it's defended but Joe wants to get that arm because what is it what she's doing is news breaking down funny Johnson's ability to use that as a heavy striking tool because all a sudden that arm it feels like it's full of lead [Applause] and showing tiny we covered a child by Joe chilling coming inside now he's got a daughter stay with he's got a problem sorry she had to come it Ronnie lock you down right here right now it's tight that's a problem for me Gillian's if he's smart Agata [Applause] big swing and change of momentum in favor of Tony Johnson good job of clinching up doing some time we've got ourselves a fight [Applause] stop godbye shilling with that right hand it cuffed him a lot but it definitely hit him right across that connection of the John neck and that caused Joe shilling to have a problem you saw Tony Johnson going after him 10 9 for Tony Johnson because he wasn't close I thought of finishing the fight in the corner of Jose Schilling they said and I quote me back hot because she stopped moving good recovery by stitch him up round 2 that is the question is how back is he is he still feeling some of the affection again that kicks that's a smart kick slow down that right hand of Tony Johnson Tony Johnson as I mentioned at a very long break from the sport of mixed martial arts but he has had a couple of fights more recently June 25th 2019 was his last one he earned the unanimous decision victory for trying to get back in the swing of things in MMA and training at 8 a.m. on the Bob cooked in wrong tell sir he definitely got back in the swing of things last 40 0 seconds of that round because Joe Schilling was dominating that round had landed all the good shots have had Tony Johnson in trouble a little bit Cody Johnson landing that one shot changed everything tight with Rubio who trains Justin teaching Johnson has trained the Trevor Whitman in the past so beautiful straight left by John showing the boat man surrounded John by some of the best in the school Boni Johnson's got some he's got some whiskers on that chin because man it is solid he took a big shot and just stood there like ok Tony Johnson and a huge smile on his face when we spoke to him kid he was all happy to be here happy to be here and happy that Joe showing was his opponent boy they talked about the amount of respect he has for Joe Schilling and his what he brings and he talked about you know facing him with four outs well that's not like facing him with the 10 ounce Club or a 12 ounce love it's a different story when he said I cannot hang out and kicking distance gonna move inside and outside inside of the kitchen outside and this is where your what you're seeing right here Tony is not crushing that space Joel is controlling that space and he's making this a kickboxing beautiful kick he's making this a big boxing fight instead of a hot seat fight and that's why you're seeing him be the guy that's scoring told he's not the problem Joe sharing is very live but more importantly fingers of light Gary Marcus and some people at home may say well you know of course you guys won that not always the kid so it's not because a lot of guys are in there six three they'll actually start to bed down create this video actually a smaller fighter who saw beautiful inside Johnson taking him down he had said I was I'm not gonna take him down I said why would you not take this back up that's the difference in Joe Shirley now as an MMA fighter he had a hard time getting himself off the mat before now he's doing all the right things to get himself back to where he's best and utilizing that cage to help him as a balance point to get self back to his feet round 2 our first fight here live on paramount Network red gloves for showing blue gloves for johnson johnson running home inside the Bellator cage that wind

round is going to take the fight Big John design official scorecard 10-9 Johnson in round one ten nine shilling in round two both corners were giving the proper instruction the dividers Joe shillings corners telling them great job of keeping that distance you're the guy that's controlling it keep utilizing your kicks and Tony Johnson's corner is telling him you've got to crush that space put him into the fence utilize take down so all that smart instruction and it was a closed space in a close distance that allowed Johnson to turn round number one around and steal that one away from the Joe show yeah anytime he gets inside of that range of the kickboxer now the legs are not in an equation because they get it off too long now he's in his boxing range now it's a question of these two better boxer and and Tony's got power he's got good hands he's the boxer Joe's the kickboxer each guys gonna do things differently if he can crush that space successful climb Joe go right there acted

of course a couple of brothers and Diaz move on down the list who her main training partner Leslie Smith she knows a little bit about the ground I think she's becoming very comfortable with the ground and the fact that she's able to train day in and day out with Leslie Smith who is out standing on the ground helps carry in being calm and knowing what to do and when which is birthday and Gilbert and Terry's nine-year-old daughter every Tuesday and poster what you need is controllers and using it as a sheet and be locked down lay down with the armies to the outside of Mandy is smart and makes her hands all she's got to do is keep her hands in the center where she has it now when you're getting hit sometimes that doesn't work but you can't utilize that triangle until you get that arm off-center coming across the net she's trying to stretch out Carrie by the use of her legs Carrie still got that triangle but there is space in the triangle you can see where her foot is locked on that it is below that junction of the knee and so that is giving space to Mandy Pole to where she's not getting squeezed the porch is gonna go out midway point of round number one fight scheduled for three

position she can't utilize one of her hands to reach down and grab her shin to pull it into the position she wants it to be to make that choke tight you see that Mandy Polk has got a scissors on top of Kerry's head for nothing that is dangerous back to the guard position interesting background for the former gymnast three-time cheerleading national champion and bodybuilder and fitness competitor

champion Manny looking to posture up here Big John Mandy's trying to posture sure she could bring strong strikes down Kerri is controlling that posture I love the fact when I see Carrie putting feet on hips here she's not holding Mandy on top of her she's controlling wrists nice elbow inside although Kerri is on her back she is the one that's actually doing the good work here during this round and if it continues on she should get the round according to judges at least tonight Mandi grew up in a single-parent household she said her mom and Auntie pulped is an OG lived in downtown Memphis when they were filming the movie the firm which I hope most of our viewers know about good first round semantical final ten seconds [Applause] I carried Chandler Melendez you won that round Big John you agree well I do agree but I don't like him telling her that because he doesn't know it yeah you watch what occurred Mandy got staked out but Kerry did the better work from underneath her she's tied up the triangle at one point was closed as far as getting it set she was the one that was actually trying to do things to end the fight Mandy coach was not that's why Karen Melendez gets abortion Jill did say to carry one strike and disengage because this position is the position of Mandy vote once this is but you see Kerry Melendez with the underhooks here brings the beautiful elbow up top this is a good position her head position and look what she's doing utilizing it like a third arm pushing a stronger fighters head over creating a situation where they become weaker [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Carrie Melendez with wrist control rolling it into elbow attacks against the cage trying to disengage her this is what her husband's talking about hit that shot nice feet of the body and another time she's winning this in the clinch she's not the stronger fighter but she's got the better technique which is allowing her to control the position great utilization of the muy Thai clinch by Melendez began training Thai boxing all the way back in 2005 all of this work this is a grinding dirty grimy fight very exhausting and when you take big shots like what you just saw Mandy PO take she's getting hit to the body with his knees you can only take so much where you all sudden can't get your air and you can see she's actually protecting her midsection with her left hand Kerry made the comment that this fight contracted at 118 maybe some foreshadowing - for horror to make a move up to 125 where a champion of course is Alina Lane mcFarland we will visit live with big announcement here on paramount Network this is where Karen Melendez has a distinct advantage bandy you'll see she becomes very square that gives Kerry a good opportunity to land strikes for whatever reason and I cannot tell you being a very light fighter today Melendez has a lot of power in her hands which a lot of smaller fighters don't she can definitely SWAT mani Kaul coming in on a three fight win streak watches closely again that was a big right hand that Kerry just landed Mandy Polk cannot stay on the outside and just sit there at throw hands with Kerry she's gonna get picked apart looking for a takedown defended nicely by Carey Taylor Melendez and he poked with the underhook you see Kerry try to get in that Whizzer position with the over hook framing out against the head she has to be careful about bringing both legs together right now she's in a better position yep just here come out of this those knees to the body you're starting to add up any points having a problem defending her midsection and now a right hand onto the chin apart today's set up by the [ __ ] it is Carrie and Taylor Melendez and when discussing how Jerry wanted to officially be termed if you will she said

round Big John nadz Jerry Melendez waiting for crowns ten nine you can see you again Mandy poked very stiff at the stand-up and squaring herself off that opens up all kinds of striking opportunities for Kerry Melendez even Oh Carrie Watson to remain cautious of the takedown the ban Depot qualms Rico KTM Terry Taylor Melendez you know here's a lot it TT I'm not to be confused with kill the messenger but Terry Taylor Melendez added to take this one to the ground carry inside with that Grigio still in a good position she wants to control the posture and the ends of Mandy poke right now if she does that she can take her left leg bring it up and start to lock down on the ankle getting that triangle situation which is what she's going through she would love to score a victory by submission here Bickley she wants to get that arm across you see Mandy poke now she realizes I want to keep that arm to the outside you see Kay trying to push it over the bow it's getting tight once she pushed that on him over if he clubs a lot tighter in a lot more crucial position comein aim still to come Sian Awad wait Qi Gong Wu Chi korish Goff and Larkin this is the same thing that we saw in the first round it's all a matter of concede now carries legs were starting to lose that lock giving space but bandy pulk has got to start attacking she's defending a judge is not going to give you anything for getting out of the position you're the one that's being attacked you're defending you're getting out congratulations but you're getting nothing for them when life-long strikers much like we saw with stitch them up Joe Schilling make the transition to MMA it is extremely humbling at first to say the link all it because it's so different but being in that boxing or kickboxing ring where the takedown is not a part of the equation and so you can defend in a different way all of a sudden when you have out of that ability for something to take you down your defense changes and it's something that needs to be learned misdemeanor Mandeep oh great white in streets in jeopardy [Applause] she's in a voice he's trying to do is control the risk for a chimera attempt on Melendez but

business let's go on Drake Lawrence Todd lorenz larkin main event here from the Pechanga Resort Casino alright so event first round red fight gonna fight nope here we go forged after the way locked in in the blue Big John said speed a huge factor in this fight you talk about you talk about curse pops length and normally when he's comfortable you can see him fight tall notice what he's doing right now a little bit scrunched down that's him being worried about the speed factor that lorenz larkin brings he crunched down a little bit how good's that time to the speed well he's he's getting his his legs wide and his feet he doesn't worry about the takedown but he's worried about Flores talking about those kids who walk about hey clinch something you don't see a lot as lorenz larkin going for takedowns and it's a good thing that he's doing it because it's telling on reports cop I'm willing to fight you anywhere that but if I'm gonna be on the ground I'm gonna be in the top position John you asked Andre Court scoff if he worked more on his wrestling for this fight and he kind of said yeah well he said man he has good takedown defense speaking of lorenz larkin but he did obviously say I'll try to mix things up well he was definitely talking about why I have a few tricks and I want to mix things up I don't want to just go from four take doubts from the outside I've got to get him against the cage like he is right now this is you know when the key is I'm saying Lorenz needs to keep his back off of the cage because here is where Horace cough is strong at Horace cough normally likes in this position when he goes through the takedown who tends to go towards what we call a high crotch you're gonna see his hands come down either one you know whatever one hand comes off his back the other hands gonna come through and he's very strong he lifts up and brings down hard his coach the former champion Alexander Storm from a co Andre names his son his coach his son Alexander one year nine months old George taught in the red Larkin in moon Milan in eight days nanny vet Mike Goldberg beat John McCarthy [Applause] set up in that jab John yep technically Porsche cop has an outstanding stand up this technique is beautiful [Applause] of course too [Applause] laughs I knew [Applause] didn't you say a moment ago we got ahead to the matchup I believe this was going to be a great fight because what they bring is an incredible amount of skill understand us but both guys are willing to go the ground just depends on which position them if they're gonna go go 90 seconds [Applause] in what has been a spectacular first round that little cap cake you just saw working land that's a page out of Douglas Leeman it had a great effect against poor scoff and his ability to attack so I can understand why he picked that up the ranch large Gators made his Bellator days here inside the world's most famous arena in a welterweight title fight that went the distance against Lima Lima victorious by unanimous decision there's that spin that he brought down in our boost mobile vantage point he technically does it so well it's the way he'll hide his blading of his body because he just keeps on making this little adjustment all sudden he's got those feet in line and here comes that attack rands those southpaw look for a little spin of his own as advertised thus far final seconds of round number one [Music] Horace coughs with a huge strike that landed answered by lurking roundabouts a spinning wheel kick boom just landed almost puts it but here comes Larkin back with that left hook that little check hook it hurt and you could see that's why he stopped back around kind of advice for a moment and then didn't attacks because he's trying to collect himself are you talked about the speed how explosive of that spinning wheel kick and then London connecting in what was a very exciting round one on your thought who gets it though my score Clark on Greg horoscope wins that round ten nine he had the better blows body kick that big spinning wheel kick not great job by Larkin just got enough to take the round Larkin takes the back porch off adjust here lorenz larkin is incredibly strong in the clinched position it's got good knees and stuff but he doesn't want andre to bill turn his back and that's the problem when you decide to stay there you've got to now deal with the fact that course cops grappling his clinch work is outstanding lorenz larkin when he got caught as he put it by Paul Daley said I made the slightest mistake and that's all it took the back fist caught me he said I've never been so angry I saw it I dipped I just didn't get far enough since that point he has back-to-back victories looking to make it three in a row against the former champion I think the lorenz larkin has the impression that Porsche cop is starting to get a little bit when little bit higher so he's wanting to kind of be in this print position to make him work past that comfort zone mr. Ono alluded to that when we were in commercial break this fight previously scheduled is our main event right here inside the Pechanga Resort Casino back to Bellator 219 don't forget for his coverage still to come on the Bellator app and his own hashtag [ __ ] soft porn stuff is thinking about giving a spinning elbow on that break decided not to now your sea lions locked starting to push that pace he's pressing he's the one pressuring him remember I said [ __ ] [ __ ] needed to be the one pressuring if able to control this position of pace he's got a very good chance at coming up the winner in this fight $70 off right before Scott mhm very well give two very nice shots he landed on that exchange it's the multiples that make Lorenz working so hard to deal with punches in bunches the guy's grown just one shot that makes your life easy guys hook to the body raise the one up to the head beautiful world by Andrei horoscope can stand up better with under two on the clock here in round two where theab no Larkin has never had a submission win nor has he been submitted in his career [Applause] go gopher cut this by market worst gosh it did touch him it didn't have an impact on a car when you starting to see - toward that disk he's giving the field good son [Applause] the speed [Applause] position should always go [Music] you've got to be the top in the top position he brings all those heavy grounded back [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] 50 shot those concert series Taylor right now pelicans Austria Crudup if he leaves to get either both on Oh thorns out there is no submission attack right now a good posture to the monsoon final seconds of the round and in this round that's a huge right hand you see it hurts course cough that's why he's leaning forward not in withdrawal distance market brings up the knee he did incredible work and beautiful damage in that round fine up John Currie ten seven very close getting there but it is a 10-8 round based product must be overwhelming to be ten seven that was definitely a dominant and dead [Applause] third and final round are mainly been of evening how much which scores talked even recovered in the 60 seconds between rounds that is a question but is he's coming out strong is going to be able to maintain that because Leland's market in that second round he turned the tables and he started pressing for it he started controlling the distance not allowed of course got to have that room for his spinning attacks and let you see right now is Lorenz is going back to being that pleasure in fiber so that tinny Larkin has the edge on big jobs we'll talk then the bides on efficient so it means nothing doesn't need something to do all right baby and your daughter's first I was never ending my wife so obviously I have some respect was awkward gonna have expected because we've known each other for seven minutes [Applause] [Music] jump to have a submission or been submitted he's got birth it is the ability to he's got to extend his legs and drive back on to the hips of course cop to make that tighter he knows he doesn't have as much [Applause] first off on top three minutes on the clock what a main event and at the end of the month than the Mohegan Sun Arena Loreena Donald and Douglas Leeman will fight once again with the belt on the line the finals of the one to eight world Grand Prix the winner walking away with 1 million dollars CA Monica bringing his back towards kids George got doing right he's trying to lace those legs into a figure 4 but he's not able to do it that's keeping his hands on the ground this is a good thing for lorenz larkin he just needs to continue to press down on the head create the situation we can get his knee to the ground and get his head back to stand position you see the core Scotland's got in at least one lane that's gonna keep him to being able to be up and the stand up he's comfortable Ondra definitely did a good job of recovering from the damage inflicted upon him in round number two he's got his hands together one of the things in anime very difficult is we actually took the ability to lock your hands because it's so hard that's legal and so if you pitch your hands lock the guys got a now break that lock that's what lorenz larkin is trying to do right now seven fights still the Cata live from the couch on the resort casino go into our app into zone 90 seconds remains Aaron are mainly vanity [Music] nice work by Lorentz turning into him he still needs to get that underhook deeper for him to start to have the ability to change his position you see Andre Korsakoff still has both of his hands locked on the body though now they're broken [Applause] when someone gets that gravity leg on him he opens up with big strikes in trying to stop what they're doing and in this position what's occurring his Porsche cough is outwrestling if you want to say okay yeah he's out wrestling marking and Larkin is out fighting Horace cough and that 10-8 is a huge factor [Applause] we've seen forest I'm still working on the wrestling but every time market at least opens up starts to [ __ ] with an elbow submit it with a strike the judge is going to start
