thank you thankful to have all of you with us around the world for our final pay-per-view of 2022 Bryce Mitchell in those camo trunks Ilya topoodia in red what I love so much about this fight is generally oh wow you don’t get two undefeated young guys that get this deep and then they match up with each other whoever wins this fight goes to the absolute top of this division oh nice calf kick strong low but Ilia and Ilia caught him with a good punch earlier in the round Elia has outstanding striking great technical skills and a black belt and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well nice yeah very nice Bryce already switched this stance Joe one calf kick and now he’s Southpaw it was a hard one he did not like that yeah already some protrusion on that lead leg of Mitchell toporia leading the dance with his striking here a minute in topoya striking is so clean and so powerful good counter moving back by Bryce Mitchell [Applause] Mitchell’s gonna have to get to Portia to the side of the Octagon to try to get to his legs trying to take him down in the open is going to be very difficult nice clean right hand pretty good left by Mitchell a moment ago oh Ilyas teeing off on him is noticeably in a lower stance because he expects the takedown oh beautiful right hand by toporia you’re so clean until poy is coming very close to those Haymakers Bryce with a high kick to pull your stuff that take down they keep bumping hands look like Bryce has a little bit of a cut over the left eye good kick to the body by Mitchell oh yeah [Music] so it appears to have been a head Clash that caused that opening on the left eyebrow Mitchell good front kick up the middle by Bryce [Applause] hi Bryce he’s got the single Russell one leg great job pushed him to the side of the Octagon to try to get your hands locked he’s got to run the pipe here if he wants to sit the 40th down if he moves and runs the pipe then he can smash him back into the cage to try to switch his hands oh he tripped him [Applause] his feet great job by Ilya [Music] very nicely done by topoodia oh body shop for Mitchell he’s gone to the well several times with that in round one Mitchell on officially over four on his takedown attempts thus far IA stalking him oh good right hand and another now to pour you knows he can defend takedowns so he’s getting more aggressive boy he just swung for the bleachers with that one nice knee up the middle Mitchell is circling towards that power one of toporia that’s that’s a game plan that’s a mistake beautiful right to the body by tokoria japoria seems to be the cleaner Striker oh he’s way cleaner we knew it would be it would always be a very difficult fight if Mitchell has to just stand with Ilias put a mix takedowns if he wants a chance like this nicely done beautiful timing by Bryce Mitchell oh he’s got it he’s got him he’s got him on his back fantastic this is where he’s really good now his top control is is real good he surfs over the top of his opponents never forces anything always takes ever whatever they give him it’s a boy has got to be very careful with his defense here because Bryce is a finisher particularly on top such good pressure and Ilya goes to full guard tellporia vowed he would not get taken down this is the first time he has been grounded in his mixed martial arts career under 30 now round one take down very short time left in the round and around that Ilya fought really really well so unless Bryce gets something all very damaging it still seems as though Ilya had the better round but perhaps at the very least something for topoodia to think about on the stool that Mitchell successfully takes him down in round one round two coming up let’s take a look at some of the action from that first round here’s a beautiful clean right hand by chopuria and this is the one that opened up that cut on Bryce Mitchell’s forehead and here’s Bryce with a nice left hand a right behind it and beautiful timing with this takedown and maintain top control perfect distance you have to watch for the timing for the takedown okay [Applause] round two is upon us we check in with the coach Dean Thomas after a big left hand from toporia Dean I tell you what so pooria did three things beautifully the low stance the straight punches to the body and moving Bryce backwards if he can continue to do that he’s going to have Bryce in a lot of trouble in this fight Bryce has to find a way to get moving forward and not take any punishment pretty good shot there by Mitchell after toponia had landed a right hand caporius stuffed it and I think him stuffing the takedowns is what led to him getting taken down later in the round he lost respect for what was coming in his his way in that area and he was overthrowing and that’s when Bryce timed that takedown he’s got to stay very cautious as he’s trying to get to Mitchell times toporia waiting to draw a strike out of Mitchell before he engages that was a good example of it right there DC overthrew with that right hand and Bryce had perfect timing wasn’t able to get the takedown but ducked under that right hand Mitchell’s starting to see things better defensively and now able to land on toporia and he’s going forward like Dean said he needed to find a way to get forward so Corey is a little more willing to oh look at that once again big right hands winding up Mitchell punctuates it with a high head kick toporia Retreats for a moment Bryce is starting to land now he looks tired though mouth wide open I think he got stung oh big uppercut oh he got hurt knocks Mitchell down [Applause] I think this is a mistake going to the ground with Bryce Mitchell when you heard him standing up well here you go you see him he’s starting to try to get away now Ilya looks like he’s trying to get space and distance played into the game of Mitchell a little bit Mitchell couldn’t get to his legs now Mitchell’s almost on a single [Applause] and Illy is trying to move to side control and he is inside control now so you he managed to maintain the position which is very good for tempuria because he’s in Bryce Mitchell’s world oh he’s yeah Big Shots Big Shots by topoodia wow Mitchell urgently gets back to his feet soboya continues to apply pressure he’s got to be careful with overthrowing he’s trying to knock him out with every shot every shot he’s going to get himself tired too beautiful uppercut there though he clipped him with that upper wow Ragdoll pancake they’re not that’s some stuff I show my six-year-old wrestlers when they shooting there on their knees pancake them while Mitchell is bloodied and battered but undeterred over two minutes still to go round two he on the belly topoodia is an excellent shape yeah he’s all over him and this is an incredible Pace but toporia is really oh my goodness look at this look at this oh on a site oh my goodness Mitchell wow oh my goodness he beat him up he beat him he beat him and he submitted it wow oh my goodness Ilya tapori is the real deal elliotopodia is gonna be a top nine featherweight when the rankings come out next week I’m gonna tell you that’s that dude is something special good but if he can stop those big wind-up punches just take it down a little bit man he is a handful and now with this top level experience that he just got from this fight look at this beautiful right hand connects connects again with kind of almost a palm there right hand stunned him with the right hand I mean he was just mauling him on the feet but the fact that he’s able to get it done on the ground like this is so incredible and so impressive and the fact this is Bryce Mitchell’s world we were saying he probably shouldn’t be here but look at this just clamps down on this head and arm choke and tremendous pressure and Bryce forced to tap an absolutely incredible performance from Ilya topoodia tonight 25 years of age and now five and O in the UFC big things forthcoming in 2023. Bruce Buffer now to make it official ladies and gentlemen referee Mark goddards called a stop to this contest at three minutes 10 seconds of round number two declaring the winner plus a mission due to an armed triangle I’m about to go to foreign oh [Applause]
