[Music] okay Fighters gone over the rules in the back there were no final questions from either of you if you want to touch gloves do it now come out ready to fight Brendan Allen has confidence that he will show Andre Muniz a new level readyto three round Main Event Andre munis is in Black Brendan Allen in green opposite stances Southpaw for mun first appearance for each in 2023 mun last against yah Hall in Las Vegas at International fight week last July Brenan Allen’s biggest career win came right here at the Apex in October against Kristoff jotco a submission in the first round that got him a performance of the night bonus yeah and Allen in that fight against Jal absolutely Sensational I mean that was TB took him out of there with e pure technique beautiful first round mission for mun oh Allan lands a good right hand there mun last time out like you said against your right hall went to a decision even though there was a lot of ground fighting and I’m sure that gives Brendan Allen confidence because he sees that and sees that UAH Hall was able to not get submitted so that says to him hey no I can survive down there as well so he’s not as dangerous as what some people think but that’s a beautiful Hook from Brandon all looking very sharp oh he quick one two for Allen M they both connected with one with the left one with the right yeah but that wobbled into the fence Allan’s looking fast tonight very [Applause] sharp smile from Brendon Allen as well very calm and in control in there he’s just a little short on his punches he’s not fully committing I think the fact he ate a big one a second ago temporarily diminished his confidence Allen is feeling himself talking a little trash in there at mun was a very nice spin kick to the gut upst seems to me Dom like Allan to counter he’s going first right now like but you’re not wrong what we want to see out of Allen is more fak or Fain because he’s not being first so he wants to be first with Fain and then follow after that he’s kind of standing in the mirror I call it you just stand and stare at the guy waiting for the count there it is when mise goes first he lands so it’s it really is a matter of who decides to fire first because both of them are landing when they throw you could say that he’s bouncing the under two minutes to go first round oh there with his biggest strike of the fight yeah you could hear that one solid impact Allan took it though man he’s got a chin those were hard shots didn’t face him at all I like it change by letan listen take threat there it [Music] is single leg is going to drive through to a double Drive push forward nice defense Allen keeps his feet yeah really good work by Brendon Allen step outside with your striking combinations Comin combinations say we’re going to fight on my terms this going to be a standard octagon side with Dominic Cruz and Michael bising Brandon fero with you from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas you’re looking at the unlikely Main Event Brandon Allen and Andre mun in the first of three rounds ran span n krof canceled just a few hours ago these two looking for a big opportunity to [Music] shine fingers extended from Andre mun got in the left eye of Brendan Allen who appears to be okay but have some time to recover a second okay take some time scrape down after throwing a left kick qu right yeah nothing intentional just unfortunate see good there you ready all right ready ready s 30 second halt in the action back underway just over 30 seconds to go in round one very close in terms of striking numbers neither fighter yet getting a Tak down looking forward to the grappling exchanges from these guys but the standup exchanges have been good they’re both using distance really well and Landing huge shot on each to be honest big shot eating a lot two Grapplers but all on the feet for the first five minutes second round is coming [Music] up we see here a nice left hand from Unice lands and a nice right hand Brendan Allen kind of wobbles him a little bit and another left hand right hand follow through from Mo E there okay every time shot landed on each other the distance with your head outside don’t go in the middle because he’s responding to you so if you’re go angles he’s going to not see you just move a little more move a little more look every time every time you’re sitting on your punches you’re Landing a good punches on him okay he has nothing for you sir here from me sir you readyto all right main event but already the second of three rounds tonight at middleweight brenon Allen in the green Andre munise in the black and very close opening round Michael yeah that’s what I was just going to say very competitive neither man really able to gain a significant Advantage both doing good work both Landing good shots mun tried to take it down defended well by Allan Allan looking really sharp Landing good shot looking like the more powerful man but both Landing with frequency what I noticed in the standup is both of them have very good balance with their stand up so when they’re throwing punches they’re not falling forward like you wereing to earlier in in a couple other fights where they’re they’re not getting to a lot of clinches cuz they’re not falling forward into the CL they’re just using good fundamental balance and striking corner of M told him they believe he dropped the first round he’s looking good to start round two to be determined on how the first round was scor Allen walks in with a spin yeah that was nice nice way to mix it up surprise his opponent just as one lands a couple of shots then the other one gets his licks in as well as I said really competitive punching kick nice I like that let’s work though uppercut there when he guard up pressure yes stay there stay there things getting heavy in there Allen starting to uncork a combination two three right knee was the good read for Bron Allen there they’re making good decisions they’re just both very good defensively they’re not they’re not getting caught too bad now with that really heavy shot it’s going to sleep him the good thing for Allan is that he’s controlling the real estate of the ox for the most part he’s in the center whereas mun is backing towards defense the relevance of that is that when mun attacks all’s got so much space behind to back up to evade to avoid the strikes and down the go and Allan sweeps right around yeah that was what a way to use that momentum first grappling exchange of the fight comes halfway through round two and honestly this is where where we’re lucky to have this this match up here because this mice is so crafty off of his backat you don’t see a lot of gentlemen in this division that are as crafty as he is with arm bars and this is where you’re going to land him a lot from the bottom absolutely right d that’s his goto let’s see if he can do anything with Brenan Allen who’s also best in the top position rise has 15 submission wins in his career his last three all by armar in the first round yes and I think that’s what we said right it’s already the second round so does he have the energy that he doesn’t have the first to be that sharp with the submission I really have the traction you know because in the first round you’re a little drier and I know that’s cliche to say but unless you’ve been in there you know this fighting this kind of pace you know as the five progresses you get so wet you know sweaty as hell and you know with all the technique in the world when your opponent’s just ding it’s hard to control an arm than to get an armb that’s where chokes that’s why they’re so good because you can take the back and you get the hooks in it doesn’t matter how sweaty you are I’m going to get my arms around your neck and I’m going to squeeze when you go for an hour bar if you like oil just pull that bad boy out the leg coming up on a minute to go looking at Brendan Allen using head position steps over into side mount that was a beautiful pass Bron Allen is taking control of this fight right now he has switched to be the live favorite at this point pressure on top is best as anybody in this division that’s where he thrives and what another thing you got to notice about Brandon Ellen is if he’s on bottom he’s so good cre scrambles to not only get back up to his feet but to maybe put you on your back he rarely is just stuck on his back like he does to other opponents even right now he’s relaxing throat elbow on the throat just trying to make it uncomfortable and ugly for mice on top right now notice he’s not moving he’s not free flowing he’s waiting for munice to move him so that he uses his energy on bottom trying to move Brenan Allen in a very strong position final 10 of round two trying to get his guard back unable to do so and a big reversal on that Tak down for Brendan Allen to get top control time in the second round all right some good action in this round here we see a couple of big shots from Mo does a great job when he follows it up with 2 three4 there he is again that looping right hook over the top gets through now here he is he goes for the taked down gets the trip forces it gets it but with the momentum Allan is able to end up on top did some great work had some nice third and final round at middleweight between Andre munise and Brennan Allen final round of the evening here from the UFC Apex show of respect for these two before five more minutes of work unise ranked 11 it’s on the line against Allen he’s riding a threee fight win streak at the corner of mun they only want a take down if he is sure that he can end up on top and take the fight where he wants to go nice shots that three is landed two or three times on Allen that’s there again that hook is there is dangerous when he lets it go like that he’s got a lot of power that’s what his coach has asked for they said you know what keep this on the feet you’re beating him on the feet land that right hook and there it is he’s starting to starting to wing it out there and connected it that’s the most shots we’ve seen landed consecutively in a while it was about three four shots in a row there’s a one two again keep working keep working just stay Allan dips to the body and throws a right back up top really fast when he lets it go and he explodes he’s got some proper speed despite that success on the ground he had near three minutes of Ground Control time Allen has yet to attempt a Tak down remember he got top position by reversing the position from munise [Music] up stay sharp stay sharp the left eye of Allen after some of these exchanges trying to get the better of that Exchange St from need try to capitalize on it but all just got out of the way catches it again that straight left as Alan came [Music] [Music] [Applause] in oh nice shots but fight back straight away I mean now the man really able to gain a significant Advantage here Grant mun has landed probably more shots this round Allan’s right there he’s not hurt he’s not phased he’s firing back he’s Landing good shots still very competitive I was just about to say I’d kick on the end of some St look at that what a beautiful take down that was so nice it was very nice instead of dumping it he kept the the weight on it and he was able to just lift him right up nice feel by brenon Allen to get that threw one kick and Brandon Allen caught it and took him right down and now with under two minutes to go really in the driver’s seat he was telling him to throw that kick early in the first round he’s been waiting for that kick and this firmly puts him in the driver SE as you say’s got to get busy here can’t for to sit down there and just wait and let the clock burn full out for Allan I mean and now he’s locking up ahead and on brenon Allen just shows how good he is on the ground with the kind of control that he too it’s not easy to control now he’s attacking submissions now he’s on the back M see what he can do with it he’s not just attacking submissions he’s close to getting it I mean he’s taking the have the rear nak joke here arm going be tough when he’s doing right thing try to push it up over the chin over the [Music] jaw s his hands he’s defending well but either way you don’t win fights by defending rear naked jokes certainly for Brendan Allen you win them by applying them and that is what he’s doing here he’s as close as he’s been during the fight so far still not under the chin oh sneaking under there that’s it there tap with just over 30 seconds to go Brendan Allen Taps out Andre munise we will have a new ranked middleweight contender and he does it by Tapout four in a row for Brendan Allen that’s a huge win for him and not just a win a finish against a seasoned submission technician in munice let’s see it again catches that kick been waiting for that kick the whole fight he’s been asking for it beautiful finish straight to side mount straight to mount from Mount threatens the arm triangle then takes the back ends up in this position and this is where he’s got so many finishes look how he lifts the head up and then slides it right under the chin textbook got the hooks in and now it’s all over munice knows it Taps out one more look left arm got under the chin in the final minute of our three- round Main Event Brendan Allen taking full advantage the corner loving it Brendan Allen getting it done one final time this evening Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen referee Jason Herzog is called a stop to this contest at 4 minutes 25 seconds of round number three declaring the winner by submission due to a rear nak choke Ren All In
