dancing [Applause] I believe I did it again Buzz is palpable something’s got to give as we decide the UFC light heavyweight championship good right hand one to sheriff [Applause] you’re enrolled with that good shot by global but Gary did a good job of rolling with the punch there’s the signal again and look at that complete with ease straight into the house he’s defending well he was going to high guard but to get him through now oh big elbow right through and he cut him back another one for good measure wow close to round two for the champ one around oh that’s a nasty truck go over smiling because this is where he has generally pulled away from these guys let’s see how Yuri responds to this yeah I don’t know if after smiling in this situation away come on I gotta go and do this again scramble oh pretty good reaction back to Sharon to try to get the takedown unable to do so there it is there’s the sweat that’s causing real issues all bloated up now too well it was all beaten bloody to Sharon trouble here certainly looks like him there’s a knee now from Yuri but that’s the one the treetop that’s what he needs oh my God isolates the leg therefore the sweat doesn’t play a factor it’s just a good old-fashioned trick with the other leg prohaska’s only been submitted once in his career if memory serves it was about 10 years ago and he didn’t tap went up now it is all right there it is [Applause] watch his hands watch his hands on tight he’s screaming and he is squeezing yeah he should take him out back and tell you the position’s off oh now now that’s the problem incredible defensive work from prohaska 90 seconds to go round four waning seconds round four big right hand on the ground for prohuska foreign Standing Ovation in Singapore five minutes or less to decide the Undisputed UFC light heavyweight championship I mean I loved this fight it’s been fantastic that’s nice and this is just your abuse [Applause] his opponent out on his feet almost just the instincts kick in hours of training thousands of hours where you rocking the gear team and finish the fight in this situation proven to the world there tonight that he won it’s not only a striker he can grapple he can hold his own on the ground with the best Rover has made some technical mistakes tonight correct let’s get some opportunity [Applause] a stutter in Singapore and how about the medal of the new king Yuri prohaska till the moment has finally arrived for the man affectionately known as rock to his peers the Kingston Jamaican born Birmingham England competing Leon Edwards finally Joe Rogan arrives at his championship opportunity and man has he worked hard to get to the spot in his career but he prefers to find out that softball stance big shot by the champion he did a great job of getting his hands off immediately and we saw this in fight number one Edwards did a good job oh my God that is a takedown first time Usman has been grounded in his UFC career so are you talking about this on the walk his offensive question the Yeah it’s gotten much better and he just landed some good shots and this is unfamiliar to Usman he hasn’t dealt with this being on the bottom never before in the UFC and there was a big elbow landed by Edwards a moment ago and Leon is moments away from taking his back Leon has outstanding back control and he’s got to the bottom triangle fight ers [Applause] huge first round for the Challenger huge it could not avoid any better in trouble with your smiley it could not have gone any better for Edwards in that round but this is what we were talking about leading up to this fight Leon Edwards is a real threat he knows he belongs here foreign [Applause] [Applause] but look at the composure Leon Edwards Edwards backs himself up to the fence nice little big elbow by the champion man nasty body shots double change for Usman and he gets it that was much easier his pressure is starting to wear on Leon submit it to that one that was far too easy that was the easiest tip now don’t let him collect your legs and that’s the difference as the flight goes long Leon has kind of accepted getting taken down yes he’s back up he’s gonna have to break this lock and he’s gonna have to have a big minute and a half but he wants to win this round you know Edward Edwards has all the skill and ability to compete with Usman but right now we’re separating him it’s just instruments [Applause] foreign [Applause] yeah come on come on let’s go do it again but he’s got to do something big he does do something really big you know he’s a minute and a half from losing his chance to fight so you leave it all out there it does not matter how this fight ends when that final Bell wins whether you’re land Cloud on your back or you’re in the Middle with your head down as his hand gets raised he’s going to win you’ve got to empty the gas tank here yeah he may have resigned himself to losing a decision oh that’s what Dean Thomas said yeah Dean feels like that would be a moral victory for Leon Edwards but that is not the cloth from which he is already [Applause] oh my gosh [Applause] oh my gosh oh my goodness oh my God look at Rocky Edwards your new Welterweight Champion oh my goodness wow the way he pulled that out of the fire he actually pulled Victory from the Johnson defeat we thought he was dejected and defeated movement hit the shadow realm hey I dated point every I ate we wrote his obituary there will be no moral victories tonight for Leon Edwards a championship highlight that will withstand the test of time for his mom brother Fabian in his Corner Leon Edwards world champion [Applause] I couldn’t do it I couldn’t do it Look At Me Now head shot dead that’s it it’s like no the kind of power and the kind of technical skill that this man possesses [Applause] Herrera so big all right here we go round one for the Undisputed UFC middleweight Championship out of Sonya is in the green with gold trim Alex perdeda is in the yellow here we go here we go here we go this this one is gonna be fun boys potato did say he was going to try to Pace himself for five rounds never been 25 minutes in MMA [Applause] we asked potato which guy was more likely to try to wrestle or grapple and he said I think I would be the guy who’d have more success chasing takedowns but he expected that obasani would be more likely to do that tonight oh Jesus that’s where it gets dangerous it’s when Izzy goes softball Ferrera just throws that big body kick foreign [Applause] oh look at these body shots hard shots of the body nice need of the body to it looks very interesting that Izzy’s punching with him making them think you gotta mix it up but in that clinching Herrera had more success he landed some good body shots and he landed a big knee [Applause] I’m trying to get his wits about him back to the store there’s going to be a long minute as he was setting him up when is he finally let the right hand go he got rocks just beautiful for the love of God creep it was just a second there and we’ll see if the champ can capitalize he’s trying to calm down the Madison Square Garden masses Pineda looking for more of that noise round two early leg kick for the champ but now the Champ’s gonna get some respect Katie Herman he heard him in kickboxing yes he did he hurt him very bad in that second fight and they gave pajera a standing eight count which very likely saved him there’s no standing in here though [Applause] so it is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] by the champion big left hands is this controlling that bottom wrist one being round to the champion I’m going to tell you something one route for you to be a world champion five minutes listen you need to knock him out you’re going to be a world champion right now this round is yours this round is yours go for it potatoes Corner trying to get him going to the tune of the finish here while on the other side lasagna five minutes away from remaining the UFC standard at 185 pounds fifth and Final Round it seems like we’re looking at about three we’re looking at three one pretty comfortably for the champion but the danger is still there with this guy Kamal Usman certainly didn’t sit on his lead against Leonard’s big leg kick for potato no he’s a check that was a check he checked the kick and it hurt Izzy’s leg he checked the kick and heard the Champions League oh really tripped himself yeah so just sort of a wayward step or so it appeared yeah that’s all it is he looks fine in these emotions he does [Applause] had his most success for the body tonight [Applause] oh my goodness he did it again he did it again wow in the final round he did it the last time in the third round he did it again he every time he hit adesanya adesanya was uncomfortable it’s when he got to the point where he knew he could empty the tank the power does God the power Preposterous power pandemonium at Madison Square Garden disappointment A New World Champ bro in four fights [Applause]
