foreign will be in the red and the first look in the Octagon for Ricky Simone in the blue and not a hair out of place for Ricky Simone as well [Applause] you know I used to try to pull off that same haircut early in my UFC yes we did you certainly did and I didn’t do it nearly as well as Ricky Simone Oh big spitting back kick that’s what got him noticed by Dana White Wallace really did that on the regional scene in impressive fashion punched his ticket to the UFC [Applause] went more for takedowns in his UFC debut against Frankie signs big shots of the body from to Wallace Willie I think he actually stunned him over the top too when he came with the right hand High adrenaline for jollish Willy home game tonight trains could be Sarah Longo fight team in Long Island spins and misses on that one and Simone looks to take advantage and that’s the problem you can’t go to the well too much with the spinning techniques like that because a guy like Simone who’s got good wrestling in his back pocket will start level changing and timing those kicks come underneath you and dump you meanwhile is a big one again first round knockout for Ricky Simone on March 23rd that ultimately led to this short notice opportunity on the big stage down they go and it’s dwallis Willie on the back Wallace Willies ball of energy right now hopefully he can keep this kind of a pace for three rounds if he needs to seems like the kind of guy that you gotta calm down in a fight so that he doesn’t burn himself out one more time he might two straight takedowns there for dewalis Willie to give some Own Credit right back to his feet each time yeah he’s just being smart this is you know just a regular mat return for a wrestle you get pop back down you pop right back up to your feet he’s got the fence now he’s going to try to oh and now Simone man this is a pace at a moment these two guys are keeping right now you see how long they can last take head kick for to Wallace Willie Simone trades him for a right hand I mean I’ll give it to dwash really he’s he’s throwing for Knockouts he’s looking to finish this fight she’s got to be careful he doesn’t burn himself out oh big combination quick hands from to Wallace Williams yeah looking much sharper than he did in his first fight in the UFC cleaner combinations with his hands I’d like to see him just relax a little bit on the spin and for Simone he’s got to get his own off mounted here a little bit he’s got to start being first right now he’s letting marab lead the dance a little bit he’s got to be the first to throw a combo he’s letting him move forward land his punches and try to counter more than halfway through an action-packed first round these two young phantomweight prospects jab from dualish Simone looks to counter yeah he dipped down through that overhand oh big right hand at her sits down Simone but did he gather himself yeah here’s the wrestling of Simone as soon as he got hurt he immediately was on a leg he’s not recovered yet oh big right as to Wallace really trying to sense the moment chasing him down he’s better be careful you don’t want to run into something combinations Simone Oh desperation mode tries to shoot to Wallace really reverses it wow what a scrap these two guys are just Simone is hurt he’s tired now too pressure might be getting worse a little bit [Applause] nice timing on that one yeah he’s getting a great job of controlling that leg so that Simone couldn’t pop right back up but he uses defense to do it anyway good job of recovery there from Ricky Simone but he I I don’t know where his head’s at right now he got hurt and dropped with that right uppercut from murab and taken down again right back to his feet once again for Simone appeared to be looking for his Corner this is like a carnival ride that Simone just does not want to be on right now but he has no choice we are on the boardwalk and he survived the final 50 seconds of this first round I think from a Rob trusts his hands he’s Landing some really sharp combinations here in the first round go back to that Simone out of the way of that attempt 30 seconds that was just really good timing from Dallas really he knew that Simone dips forward covers up and he timed that right uppercut right as he dropped his level oh big right hand Simone still has power to Wallace Willie still a bounce in his step s they lock momentarily great first round here from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City we will see a round two [Applause] [Music] here’s that beautiful right uppercut boom right as Simone drops his level murab times it perfectly and if he was still standing there that laptop was going to crack him too unofficially five takedowns in that first round for the Wallace really also had that impressive knockdown that’s Sarah Ray Longo tough to keep him sitting down on the stool for that entire minute between rounds I was just going to say I actually just loved uh listening to Sarah Longo in the corner there of murab just I mean those two guys there’s classic cornermen and coaches as they come even though I was supposed to fight their guy they probably would have cracked me up even as I was fighting now maybe not that much [Applause] that’s it that’s better nice come on keep going keep pushing them back keep getting them back keep coming back nice [Applause] nothing tell him spin back kick toe if he wants straight now he’s not keep going he’s got an injury keep going keep going keep going I pay to watch the show with those two guys oh you can get him in bits and pieces from several different shows yeah it’s true but I like what they’re saying too they’re telling that while it’s really move forward move you know you you you’re going to control the pace of this fight he dominated that round one he was able to take Simone down he was able to land big shots he dropped him just keep doing what you’re doing they just want him to start looking more specifically for shots when he’s got him hurt you could see more Ops a little bit excitable so when he gets somebody hurt he goes a little crazy he’s just having fun in there this is fun for this kid but they wanted to be a little more technical when he’s got him hurt another beautiful single leg just riding him out looking for the back but again Simone does a good job at defending that lands a knee on the way out for dualish Willie right now polish really is doubling up these significant strikes of Ricky Simone second round and we’ll see if dewalis really can keep up this work rate appear to run out of gas in the third round of that debut against Frankie signs yeah man when you keep this kind of a pace no matter what shape you’re in it’s hard to keep a nice take down there from Ricky Simone now this is huge for Ricky Simone here in the second round nice elbow I couldn’t tell if that hurt him well this really still appears to have his wits about him but this can wear on the gas tank of dwallis really if Simone can get on top land some shots drag him down over and over again elbow did not land flush for Simone but nonetheless a strong moment for the UFC no Comer there a takedown in some top position time but right back to the center of the Octagon yeah and just give this kid a little confidence you know he needs something to turn the tables a little bit that glance off the shoulder but that would that would have been a problem for someone if that punch had landed what’s up body shot knockout just before yeah it’s right here like right on the on the right shoulder of someone of Ricky [Applause] see how he does that Mo Rob’s doing a good job of baiting him and he gets him to level change that’s where he found success for that right uppercut in the first round the Wallace really almost walks into a knee there instead takes control of the back and it’s another takedown oh he tried to roll through that but didn’t have enough momentum to give him a Rob off balance Simone just trying to find the fence they’ll get a little leverage here still seems okay I’m looking at his face I mean it always seems a little frustrated but he doesn’t seem to be completely gassed off how about that move around both yeah but murabb doing a good job of riding with it following his hips and that definitely just frustrated so long twice he tried that same exact move with no success taking a knee shakes him off nice move there by Simone yeah trying to take that back but Simone all over it not letting him do it and shaking him right off the top now in the final minute of the second round Simone looking for that right elbow looking to force the issue take down attempt nice defense yeah Georgian he saw that one coming didn’t set it up too much big right lands yeah that was right on the chin he ate it though he’s still standing didn’t seem wobbled by that one under 30 seconds round two of three his 135 pound matchup a couple of lefts there attempted from Simone and another takedown for to Wallace will be right back up fires a knee 10 minutes in the books round three coming up after it was trouble to keep him on the stool between the first and second round he spent the last intermission standing and getting the final instruction from that Sarah you know any longer it’s really a pleasure though to see a guy like marab dual Israeli who’s he’s so excited to be in there he’s living the dream and it’s all over everything he does in there he’s excited he’s fighting hard so right on the right as I say that I’m going shot but I think he also really found a home at uh Sarah Long Island you see his reaction with Matt Sarah it’s just perfect I mean the energy levels are perfect for each other accidental the five minutes are you okay let’s go let’s go sir turn your wrap ready sir you ready turn so right here looks like Ricky Simone ready to Shake it Off get back to action early in the third round there Wallace really still looking fresh in this one yeah he really does I mean he’s had moments of slowing down for a second and then he comes right back he’s still bouncing his hands are still up and he’s throwing combinations he’s not throwing one punch at a time and he’s Landing takedowns at will against a very tough wrestling Grappler and Ricky Simone one time Washington state champion in high schools Ricky Simone friend was involved in mixed martial arts and he fell in love with it pretty quickly turned Pro back in 2014 and fought seven times in his first year as a pro beautiful switch there from Ricky Simone and marab get caught grabbing the fence there for a second but got away with it we don’t even have to you don’t need to buy microphones or Matt Sarah hear what he’s saying if I hear Matt in the back row right in front of the corner of Joe Wallace Willie the two fighters right now now they return to the center body shot there for Simone with the left Simone is hunting that liver shot if he lands it flush it might hurt murov he’s definitely going for it he’s digging he needs to follow it up maybe a right hand but every time he even gets thinking about throwing combos while this really is all over these takedowns big right from to Wallace Willie guys trade Jabs man snap both their heads back with that [Applause] who will land the next big shot and it’s a shoot through a takedown and a successful one for Ricky Simone yeah good job timing there from Simone but can he keep Mo Rob here yeah you hear Sarah on don’t let him get the head in position keep him away he’s looking for a Kimura but it’s going to be tough to pull that off from that angle from half guard on the bottom don’t have as much Leverage well a lot of guys will just use that lock that up try to get full guard maybe look for a sweep with it Rob’s got a watch giving him the head and arm here he’s trying to get his knee up and through and past the guard and go to full mount on marab ‘s arm seems out of that arm triangle got to be careful though Simone’s head is on the mat good job from Dallas steps over but back to the feet and as he got up morav immediately threw a an uppercut to the body and a left hook wasted no time continues to press the action here in the final two minutes and he is just non-stop right now you can see it just wearing on Simone who also seems to be in really good shape for this fight but at the pace it’s just a different level of pace from murab to Wallace really this guy has energy for days Simone one Camp right into another after his Regional title defense on March 23rd the first round knockout which could be a problem could be something that’s wearing on Ricky Simone having so many fights in a row before he had to make the call to the UFC but that’s something that man you just got to put that behind you and say next time I’ll do better when they call you show up and you fight see the swelling under the right eye of Simone and all their takedown big takedown from to Wallace really although he’s got some nice reversing things look out to Wallace Willie he’s going to try to keep his hands up there I can’t tell if he’s out he’s out his left hand my goodness look at his legs oh my gosh still trying to fight does he have 35 seconds left in him what is going on there after it was going so well but surviving for the moment still kicking those legs and Simone with 20 seconds left to work now give the thumbs up my goodness approaching 10. final 10 seconds to Wallace really keeps the bicycle churning final seconds of the fights [Applause] with the heart of a lion Ricky Simone all he could do we will see how the judges score this one okay so after confusion between rounds we originally of course thought it went the full 15 minutes there was some confusion on if they would call the fight marab dewalis Willy is on top of the cage right now we have yet to get the decision he has his wits about him the commissioner of the New Jersey athletic control board is inside the Octagon talking to Bruce Buffer and referee Liam Kerrigan right now of course it was almost a full 45 seconds for mirab to Wallace Willie to try to outlast that Guillotine attempt from Ricky Simone who you would think was down on the scorecards heading into the third round to Wallace really appears good about it and he just gives a fist bump to his Corner Matt Sarah in Ray Longo Simone at least for a minute while we were gone had his hands raised it thought he scored what would be a submission victory they are still sorting things out here in New Jersey what a fight and what a final minute to that fight Mark Goddard explaining to Bruce Buffer what we all will love to find out in just a moment let’s take a look at the end of the fight once again this is after the final horn sounds Liam Liam Kerrigan excuse me is the referee for this matchup and to Wallace really attended to right away by the positions here [Music] Ricky Simone you hear it heard him right there I won that fight to Wallace really still has a smile on his face and now Bruce Buffer [Applause] with the fighters in the center of the octagon has the official decision let’s find out right now ladies and gentlemen referee Liam Kerrigan is called a stop to this contest at the end of round three declaring the winner by TKO Ricky oh
