11 first round finishes for the champ all eight of Brent prim's finishes have come in the opening stanza and he says he is going to try to get Nagle made up out of there as soon as possible the Bell round number one and grimas told us he's always looking for the first round finish always trying to be aggressive of course when you're taking on a guy like Usman oraga made of you have to be very cognizant of all that he brings to the proverbial table including a dynamic kicking attack look he's got a fantastic kicking attat BR pis has got good kicks but he's going to have a hard time Landing them against Usman without Usman making him pay for those this is why I say Brent's got to close that distance get in the grill of usand magedov and stay there throughout this fight till he gets it to the ground C kick by the defending Champion Nado mov who began Muay Thai training at seven went into Taekwondo and of course when you represent his part of the world under the tutelage of the late great ABD manov his cousin AB nurov manov is known as a wrestling background but this is where he is most comfortable he's telling us and his Swagger continues to grow with each and every fight and performance yeah absolutely and there's no doubt like it everyone knows abib n metov and he lived off of ring smash but Usman and his brother Umar they're different they live off of striking with the ability to wrestle when they want and primis coming into a clinch here now and the knee from Naga creating some eration to land those knees and then a push kick to the midsection and just a volleying of kicks here volley a salvo of attacks by n mov and primis trying to find a way to close the distance but when you're looking at those keys to Victory I talked about that go to the body that's what he's doing with that front push kick he's eating up SP back kick by that grab kick by primis spinning back fist by the former champion and again they clinch along the fence all this this is good for Brent oh that was a clean elbow nice exit by usmanov always want to leave them something to think about on the exit that's what he did with that beautifully place left elbow AKA in San Jose where n made off trains Javier Mendes longtime trainer says that Nago mov is the most gifted fighter he has ever seen and think about the fighters that Javier Mendes has cornered a couple of you we can go through let see C Vasquez Dan Cormier BJ pit I mean oh my God and khabib yib and look he say this guy is the most talented 25 years of age 17 and0 eight Knockouts six submissions and a kick to the face that was a beautiful question mark kick and that question mark kick set up the Finish against Henderson as he knocked Henderson down before submitting him with the rear nak to choke in the first round there's a take down by Nago mov elbows to the facee of primis and primis very comfortable off his back has a gogal plat Up victory he's got he's got many submissions off of his back he is good there but Usman is not a fish out of water here he's very comfortable in this and he has a very Solid Ground and pound you know a lot of people look at ground and pound and they think oh you're just throwing punches it is is a skill set unto itself and he is very good with it Mar made up secures the first take down of the fight with just over a minute left here in the opening round and right now primace controlling the mof's [Music] posture them close under a minute left in the first frame is trying to get that that feel dug into the hip area of rag medov so he can start to elevate push him away unable to actually get it to hook in Body Shots by nagaa from top position half guard of primis 30 seconds left in the opening round semifinal match up in the $1 million lightwe World Grand Prix the other semi-final matchup between former Champion Patrick Pitbull and Alexander shley will go down in Chicago November 17 at Bellator [Applause] 301 B in round two according to our stats made up outstruck primis 39 to8 and then of course scored the only taked down although primis was able to avoid any further damage on the ground from Naga how do you have it after one or do I need to ask you I don't think you need to ask that 10 10 n usmanov no doubt about it but the I think the one thing that Usman was doing in that is he was telling R I'll go to the ground with you and let's see what you can do oh you can't do anything to nice hard faints by Brent pmus going have to throw off of one of those getting usand out and there Usman change Naga changes levels and they clinch again with oh and primace throws an elbow off the break this is with the combination and Jab to the body by Naga made up before he pulls back push kick to the midsection of the Challenger there's that Mark kick again byov beautiful right hand Finds Its Target for always at range John always right where he needs to be that's the thing he controls the range so well based upon the accuracy of his shots that just the plethora of techniques that he could throw right hand byov as was looking to find a way in h kick from made beautifully done and that what you're seeing is all these techniques and that's what makes it so difficult you never know exactly where he's coming from or what he's going to throw and you've got to take that chance take a look at those total strikes landed 12 of 38 for prise 51 73% is that a is that a good average unbelievable again right there simple jab simple front T up the middle he lands both sh for five Maga gemis comes in but telegraphs there's attack there's a jab to the body Buton Mako there's a three punch comination and is able to evacuate before eating the knee from the M made up and I look at I don't want to say that br's getting a little bit desperate but he's trying to figure out a way to get in and land those shots he's he's working different angles the kicks every now and then he lands it but for the most part ones that he normally lands the legs are not Landing you see oan either checking it or actually just moving his leg above it jumping knee attacked by norov who has a 25-6 edge in terms of kicks landed as primace changes levels and looking for the take down meanwhile Naga mov doing a good job of Defending and a minute and a half now remains in the second that just shows how good the defensive wrestling of off is and primis was talking to us about his wrestling he felt that his wrestling was going to be a key for him offensively and defensively final 60 seconds of the second go trying to use the jab to get inside spinning see you look you looked at what just occurred right there Morrow and you look at just that beautiful little lean back has a nice nice attempt at the spinning wheel kick by P it just slides right by responsible defense by the defending Champion usmanov lands the left body kick and then a side kick to the midsection of primis primis attacking the Lee leg of the South St Mar mof's offense a bit muted here in the second round but still in control as we go to round number three of this Bellator lightweight championship fight the semifinals of the lightweight World Grand Prix [Applause] round number three and for Bren primis needs to go to a plan B and C to try to solve the puzzle of The Undefeated Rand magov and Grim is coming forward with an attack will you g the corner of your off jaier mendz said look you're controlling the range perfect that's what I want you can do what whatever you want and when you control range you basically do what you want in the fight that's what is doing right now he's able to control that range pris needs to bring this into a boxing range right now it's in a kickboxing range and he just can't seem to touch nagam medov with anything of substantial power the P back by nagam medov there's Javier Mendes sh Vasquez and the rest of the AK a corner here for Usman Maga made off beautiful one two from the south b stand by a body kick by primis nice kick by PR another body kick from n mov and he is out kicking Grimace 34 35 to9 now knee to the midsection by mother elbows from comination punctuated by the body kick from Naga just the the rhythm of Naga keeping rent primis from firing pulling that trigger every time you think pris is about to come forward like he does there there misses and then magov able to reestablish the range and land kicks although that one was checked by Prim Midway Point almost looks like we M off right now he's in almost like a sparring session just able to control his opponent where he wants in the fight every time you see Prim coming in he eats something that tells him oh I got to step back n body and I and I love the fact that Bren F keeps on working to try to get himself inside he just figure out how he's going to get to where he needs to be nice defense byov ducking and weaving underneath continues to batter the body with those kicks oh right cross CP the chin of Bren PR boy he ate that well too because it didn't seem to have effect that was a solid shot byman you could hear it and here in round three it is all Usman made off now you're seeing usan it looks like he's starting to step it up a little bit in that offensive output yeah he's thrown the most strikes of any round and almost Landing as many as he did in that opening frame minute left in the third but Ren primis trying to find a way trying to utilize the jab trying to attack the lower extremities of nagaa but unable to close the distance effectively and every time he tries he pays for it crowd getting a little un little restless but you take a look at what Usman is doing it's just actually it's poetry not I mean it's just beautiful technical fighting controlling distance Landing with accuracy can't ask anything more we are headed to the championship rounds the main event avor 300 the lightweight title up for grbs break down and undefeated Champion Usman nagam mov who is cruising here tonight well how do you break down a guy who's UND not only undefeated hasn't lost a round in his career It's like got to find a way going to become champion there's that question mark kick from the left side by USA made off from BR doesn't follow up with the right hand cck down made off you can't blame him for not following up with the right hand cuz he was out of range and he knew it you know he's going after him with that jab and off is getting such distance from him it's like no way that that right hand if he throws it's going to's Hand by bounced off the shoulder of made off and Grimace naked shot timed by nuraga made off defends it and opens up on Grimace along the fence and there's the trip take down attempt refy Jason Herzog puts him back in the same position C GIS grabbing the fence yep and there's a trip Tak down by that was made up take two EXA cuz that was the exact taked down he tried when grab the fence so good job by Jason Herzog you see it put him back in position don't let him get away with the

can Brent primis do what he said he was going to do and shock the world this is where when I said you got to make it dirty grimy red prise you need to make this dirty and grimy you just got to go forward bite down on the mouthpiece you're going to lose this fight on a decision if this round comes to an end so you got to finish him to get that victory remember we said at the start of the fight all eight of PR's finishes came in the first round so he is looking for Uncharted Territory here trying to navigate these tumultuous Waters well you got to give it to Brent Primus as far as he has continuously attempted to try to unlock this Riddle That is usand maged off there's just too many things coming his way he just can't figure out how to get inside and hold him inside and connect it's just not there and it's frustrating for him but he keeps on working hard and trying to make something happen Waters indeed the face beginning to show the the Damage Done by usmanov sticking to that one two out of range Ducks underneath grabs the body lock has criis along the fence [Music] [Applause] this is what makes medov so difficult his wrestling is outstanding so he's not an easy person to take to the ground if that's where your skill set is standup is just abs absolutely sniper [Applause] like was a nice shot by pis take a look at those strike stats 26 of 110 24% for Brent pris 150 of 248 51 under two minutes left in this fight primis trying to come for level change by NAD deposits primis on his back for yet another takedown and yet primis has done a good job of neutralizing Naga mov on the ground he still gets hit with a lot of shots but Naga madeof hasn't been able to posture up and do some real serious damage with the ground attack that's true but he also has not been ble to go into any type of TR submission attack which shows you where Naga medov is as far as the ground game top position the pressure from up top and Usman and M up content to to let this play out the way it's going right now a minute 19 left in this [Applause] fight R Prim is here in a closed guard that's just telling you right now he's holding on trying to keep himself from being damaged but there is no attack he's got to open those legs up every time those legs go closed it's telling you he's being defensive now he's trying to get some type of attack got the knee Shield inside push him
