punches while tobara has responded with stiff elbows tarez has an answer for it he's spinning with the elbows the intensity picked up in the second round B round two World title fight fly white mu Ro tang with the belt tarz trying to shock the world I like how tarz is answering that's very important in like Stadium mu Thai is to not let your opponent get the last shot but ratang finding a shot in the head of tabaris as tabaris takes a knee but not R to knock down yeah wow he stepped in with that lead elbow there I think that actually hurt tobars even though they didn't count that as a knockdown Olivier saw it as as a as a stumble or a slip big combinations from root tang with a nice knee from tarz head kick rotang as they trade leather here in the second rot Tang shifted gears here putting a lot of forward pressure on tarez no longer standing Toe to Toe he's walking him down tarez needs to find something quick yeah tabarz looks like he's also shifted gears in the wrong direction now he's starting to take those backwards steps I'd like to see him start taking lateral movements putting combinations together stepping off and firing [Applause] again nice job there by tbars but he's not moving he's got to get that head offline he can't keep that head in the same position rang's right hand is a heat seeking missile yeah this is what I was talking about in his keys of Victories working those angles being stuck here on the on the fence oh elbow wow elbow clean that's it that's a wrap tarez can he somehow recover and get up no Rod tang in the second you know you watch Rod tang in the first round when tabarz tried that spin elbow off the kick like a third time Ro Tang was reading reading that that offense so I am not suris surprised by that elbow coming over because that's exactly what happened there kabar is looking for the spin rang come over with the elbow and put him down here's a knockout right here he pushed the push kick he tries to come up with the spin elbow and and rang has seen it once too many times steps right through with an elbow of his own he was waiting for the spin that time because that you go to the well too many times and the well is dry come with the spin elbow ra Tang blocked it immediately come back with an elbow counter of his own put toar on the back one more look at it right here catch the kick drag it go to the body block the spin elbow come right back with the counter elbow your winner by way of [Music] [Applause] knockout still Undisputed one flyweight mu Tha champion of the world [Applause] the devastating knockout saw Rod Tang defend his flyweight Muay Tha belt for the fifth time and extend his one record to 14 wins the Iron Man also picked up a double bonus for his Sensational performance $100,000 from tras senior T at 167 Rod Tang continues his quest for two sport Glory as he takes on Bosnian Canadian Terror Dennis purich a top Slovenian Taekwondo athlete Dennis purich earned his black belt when he and his family moved to Canada as refugees after competing across the world in multiple disciplines he introduced his aggressive fighting style in his one debut in 2022 in April 2024 he faced number two ranked Muay Thai Contender Jacob Smith in what would be a destructive bout this sounds cliche but I had a bit of a rough upbringing tough times that I've had growing up has made me the person that I am now I'm very hard to break I'm unbreakable this dude's got thunder in those gloves he loves to put a pace on people Jacob Smith puts away Walter Gonzalez as the biringham bomber fulfills his problem me Mom wasn't the best it was all because substance abuse sometimes sometimes as soon as my dad left away she leave the house also I may have been maybe eight and me little brother was probably three it's heartbreaking cuz I could never picture doing that to my kids me Dad it was hard for him also I wouldn't be where he am now unless it was for him I actually didn't start football until I was probably 10 I got trials at everon and then black ban I then went for the trial at TR overs I was there for probably 6 weeks they offered me their professional contract I just texted me Dad and I just said to him listen dad and I'm not going back to Sam and there's nothing you can do about it the area that I've grew up in I was just selling bits and Bobs and making money illegally on the streets I was just an arrogant little [Music] kid me fiance she changed my life massively she asked me to come along to ha High boxing gym so I went down there as SP got me ass handed to me and I was like wow this is sick I need to get good at [Music] this when I was 20 and Rebecca she was 19 she got pregnant with me little girl she just gave me an ultimatum she said either take TI boxing seriously and stay with me or carry on doing what you're doing but I'm going to leave and obviously I chose the right decision Jacob Smith on top of the world I've got aims now and goals that I could only really dream of in the past I want to be one world champion I'm doing it to give me kids the life that I never had grown up man that don't mean nothing to me man once that Bell goes off it's game on what a performance by the Bosnian Med I've had a rough upbringing as well you come from a war country Dennis Pur escaped War torn Bosnia but this is business Jacob Smith is not a big threat I don't see strengths I only see weaknesses I'm too fast I'm too strong our train for this fight like it's the hardest fight in your life and bring him the fire he's not going to be able to handle the Relentless pressure that I put on him nobody hits harder than me in this weight Division and once I find my target the night's going to be over super fast I'm on a higher level than he fight 9 which is unfortunate for him I'm going to give him a horrible presence known for their high pressure Styles both men started the match with their usual aggressiveness that was right there on the belt line now he's on the inside by both men yeah trying to get right after porit here as he's trying to back him up inside the corner P going to try to fight his way out as Jacob Smith ties him up inside the clinch in the second stanza Smith picked up the pace but P's offense proved effective with the counters you don't want to allow por to start moving forward and gaining that confidence you have to push forward in control the fight and that's where he is try to go as picks him up Frozen halfway across the ring oh be just tossed Smith to the [Applause] canvas going to the body there is Jacob Smith the right hand knees on the inside they in the clinch and oliv Calla forc to separate them and down goes pich momentarily they got tangled up there but off we go an overhand left there by [Music] [Applause] cich beautifully timed sweep by Jacob Smith there was no feeling out process here in this second round Mitch yeah getting right after it only get three rounds Under This Global R set so you really have to turn things up and these guys are obliging and going right after each other they know what is on the line Jacob Smith the number two ranked contender a left hook to the body as Jacob Smith looks to back up the ja by por as he touches up the face of Jacob Smith who continues to push forward listening to his Corner's advice coach Richard Had a Bad Company telling him he needs to go forward and take control and Jacob Smith is trying but p is not going to make it easy on him as he keeps touch him with that jab looking at lunge in with the knee was Smith but he absorbed the right to the body from pich slowed down a little bit here in this second round let's see if he can turn things up nice hand combination J Smith looking to go to the body of no breaks giv to him by Smith Smith hunting him down following him making him work is going to have to dig deep here earn some respect trying to back up Smith under a minute remaining here in the second round well the corner Jacob Smith did tell him you need to land something significant and so far that has been the case here in round number two yeah he's forcing por to fight off the back foot por can do it he is talented enough to fight going backwards but it's not his preferred pace and pressure he likes to go forward he likes to control the fight well the one item is that Smith cannot get careless either because even going backwards oh there's a right uppercut that connected oh and Olivier initiates a count let's go soost has rolled at a knockdown is protested saying he was upended and it was just caught and maybe Tri but right hand and down go Smith 3 4 5 6 78 and time called and that will in the second round down on the scorecards Smith was determined to change his fortunes goes forward lands the jab backs him up pushes him off Smith digging to the body Smith coming in with an elbow they're in the clinch now P to the canvases p goes with the SP back kick and we see Jacob Smith working inside the clinch a cost PR these two apart and Smith continues to March forward but Pur stood firm as he cruised to a unanimous Victory after picking up his second straight Victory the Bosnian Menace punched

multiple times as someone who always looks for the next challenge musami sought out Japanese martial arts icon and former 1 MMA world champion shinya Aoki for and the great man the nasty man the Sorcerer of submission sh a to become a legend you got to beat the legend Mikey musi is a different caliber of suitan Grappler competing with Shena and being able to submit someone that hasn't been submitted in 58 fights in his MMA career it would be incredible he's such a legend and I want to be the one to submit the legend it really would mean a lot in Jiu-Jitsu to show like the new generation finishing the old one that's a part of our culture in martial arts [Music] [Music] something interesting I've been doing is I've been doing Muay Thai every day when I'm training here in Thailand with the most hungry muay thai fighters I feel like it's making my Jiu-Jitsu 10 times more aggressive I feel like my mind's stronger I feel like my body stronger my conditioning is insane it can feel the intensity in the air the grappling super fight we've all been waiting for I expect sha to be able to defend my first attack I expect him to be able to defend my second attack but when I do 10 things at once I'll be able to finish him [Applause] determined to make koki Tap Out musami knew he needed to dig deep to defeat the Japanese Legend Justin BR a referee in charge Mikey RI says it's an honor for him to compete against shinoki the legend here and lini boing Stadium yeah musi's offering up the leg just so sha would pull on it just to get him into his guard musi's got a very tricky guard musi's only got five losses on a very extensive career in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and all of those losses Rich have come to bigger opponents so this is a good match up for Shen iok yeah this is a good matchup Mike talked about that how he wanted to test his skill level against the bigger guy and against someone of aoki's calber but just to go back to AOK or lucii there offering up the leg just keep in mind in the rule set in one Championship if you're going to enter into the guard it has to be you have to enter in offensively you can't just drop your butt butt screed in going underneath the leg trying to attack the whs of one of the innovators of leg locks in mixed martial arts sh ioki we talked a little bit about this being new school against old school but for a long time sen was that new school Rich he was a new school but and he talked about it he addressed it when we were chatting with him this week and he said you know as an old school Grappler we have a certain way of grappling and you know there is this new style and this new generation he said you can't Implement that into your game or try to Grapple the way that the new generation grapples he said you know you can implement it in and utilize it as part of your game in order to learn here enter the leg and Tack his hip was high above the knee here yeah that was a tricky entry into the leg and then he pushed off onto the chest with his foot just to get a better grip into the leg Yeah ioke was saying that you know you have to Grapple your way and just learn how to deal with the things that they have if you try grappling like them you're going to lose and did a great job of grappling against that new school Grappler kadeo and was able to take him the distance lost on essentially submission attempts but looked good in there against one of the innovators of this new school of Jiu-Jitsu all for musi 14 of his 30 submissions have been by foot leg or ankle lock so it's isolating trying to get that leg of sha II the one thing I would be careful about with with Aoki here he might be really really comfortable in this position but if this ends up getting too deep the referee could end up calling a catch and that's a difficult lead to come back from just from being too relaxed in a position he's trying to pry on that leg to create a little bit of Separation ch's reaching underneath the legs of Mikey to try to prevent that from happening but slowly but surely Mikey's going to try to extend that leg now he's got the arms locked up there's his first attempt here at an Achilles lock that's tapped and the T it's there and it's over Mikey Moi makes quick work of shinoki by submitting the Grand Master of BL submissions 14 straight wins for the Man known as Darth ratoni here's the end right here musi had isolated that that right leg he had himself in Achilles block sat back and you can see Shin's reaction right there that was immediate pain your winner by way of hHw miky [Applause] M arguably his most remarkable performance in one musi scored his third consecutive finish at the expense of shinya Aoki with the submission move he invented himself vy's career defining Victory musami also won a performance bonus $50,000 for Mikey musi here tonight as a performance bonus at 167 Mikey musami intends to cement his legendary status by defeating an old rival as he squares off against decorated
