foreign [Music] no final questions from you blue there were no final questions from you red you’ve already touched gloves come out ready to fight familiarity between these two who have both spent time at American top team butaush Camron spends the last two months of his training camp away from his wife and two boys who are back home in Poland in Florida at American top team Armand sarukian for the first time did this fight Camp right here in Las Vegas about five minutes up the road at Syndicate mix martial arts five rounds if needed [Applause] closing is a minus 275 favorite is Armand sarukion in the red house camerat is in the black one thing that you can note is when you look at them both ormond’s the biggie guy remember gamrod was a champion at 45 and 55. I don’t think this is ever a time where sorry could make 55. oh there’s the first takedown attempt it swings from the camera takes us into the wrestling this is what we wanted to see these guys are guys playing prey Grapplers back and forth they go that’s exactly what he did to Jeremy Stevens but sarukian with the balance Champion stays on the feet South pass stands for gamrod leaves that right leg open for attack from sarukion just as he did last time in February against Joel Alvarez to rookie on Plenty of support here inside the UFC Apex we were saying earlier that you know his manager told him before his last two fights listen you’re doing great but you’ve got to get finishes and he’s like oh I never realized I had to get finishes so he went out and got two I mean that’s a it’s a cool thing to say you know maybe a little bit of gamesmanship there but he is extremely dangerous he’s gonna set those up yeah he does and he’s already landed a couple and now gamerat’s aware of them so he’s gonna have to put something in front of the beautiful take down there from sarukian and he timed it perfectly off the cake camera’s got to be careful here he doesn’t present the bike so Ricky is trying to step over trying to maintain a mount [Music] there’s a little album from gumrock there’s the back and there’s a rolling wow the bar attempts perhaps gets the wizard and he’s off man the scrambles it’s going to be insane look at that roll from camera oh [Applause] [Music] yeah Matt’s got control of that wrist and now CamRock hands locked perhaps he tries to take it to the mat these guys can both wrestle so well see if somebody’s gonna strike off the break here foreign [Music] even though it was completely blocked still did damage [Music] right across from Jamrock who is now out of the Orthodox stance after spending some time Southpaw early in the fight man the flexibility from sarukian is really impressive because gamrod has gotten that leg up in that Treetop position and that would knock a lot of guys down we’ve seen it before with him but sarukin is able to be flexible enough to keep that leg up and still keep balance oh oh big body kick let’s get into the body when he went Southpaw stance that time he goes up top final 20 seconds of round number one scramble back to the mat they go man they don’t settle for any position for one second I mean it’s so fast it’s the scrambling is like light speed all right second round coming surukion with a takedown in the first round and the Striking output in his favor as well [Music] and when these guys hit the mat it’s like watching the Tasmanian Devil cartoon where it’s it’s amazing I mean yeah it really is they’re not just rolling around that Maniacs you know what I mean it’s it’s although outrage I do notice predominantly throwing cakes struggling to find the range with his hands Governors have another more success when it comes to the boxing side of things Corner wants him to throw punches in front of them they don’t want him just throwing these kicks out but they are landing well they are fast there’s a nice checkout camera repeatedly looking for a home as he throws out a jab and swings a big overhand right yeah he’s got to start trying to cut sarukian off so he can land that shot look to follow up he’s shown some great takedown defense when he’s defending the shots or ability to scramble and get back up oh I mean that slap echoed all around this Arena every time gamrod goes goes Southpaw he’s firing that kick to the body Southpaw is Sprout likes to get that low single from that might be something that sarukian and his Corner knew when he switches there blast that kick okay saruchian first shot of the second round he’s not in deep gamrod defends nicely halfway through round number two foreign talked about was the ability to go five rounds having done some of multiple occasions when he fought for ksw it’s a big bet that’s a big Advantage wow that’s a really pet off in this fight that was a big little short shot there look at this in a 50 50 here with the Wizards three times previously matosh gamrod has been in a five round fight twice it went the distance and the other he ended in the fourth round he was 3-0 in those five round affairs this is the first five rounder ever scheduled in the career of our monster who’s looking for an elbow there so rookie threw it first I mean how do you score this as well oh it’s it’s a close fight I think so far the the thing that would set them apart really I mean the grappling exchanges it’s the kicking yeah that’s Landing significantly for sarukin yeah because other than that when they Exchange in the in the grappling department they just scramble around like crazy and even out yeah yeah they scramble around like crazy they show off technical Brilliance but not the man gains an advantage they’re so evenly matched in that department on the fight that’s right on defeat sorry rookies a little more down oh that would hurt him I think oh God these kicks that Arman is throwing are big energy kicks to though so keep an eye on how that affects him if it does it all I’m not saying it will but that’s a lot of power to throw in each one of those big body kicks to these Landing big right for gamrod caught the target uh sarukian goes back to the body I’d like to see sarukin set up the kids a little bit as opposed to just throwing them wildly but another fun round here’s the kicks that we talked about boom nice body kick there let’s take a listen oh round three is coming here inside the UFC Apex defend yourself at all times I mean here we are at round three neither man has slowed down one little bit there live odds have saroki on it minus 650. that is a predictive measure as much as it is gauging what we’ve already seen but what did he start as Brendan it started it was around minus 275 when the fight started in favor of sarukion so I think that what that means is that the oddsmakers are seeing it that he won the first two rounds oh there it is sat down on the right that’s the best shot so far tonight yeah I’m not in on a single wisely grabs that leg [Applause] you know if your gun right it starts to get a little disheartening because yeah every time up until now that is your move that has worked that pushed him on the canvas and now you’re like it’s not working on this guy yeah he’s being forced and he’s gonna have to try to be more successful on defeat he’s going to deviate to a plant B it’s to be fair it does sarukia yeah neither man could take each other down if they do hit the campus for a second they nullify one another [Music] but in this situation I wouldn’t say abandon the takedown strategy because counter shot from camera looks a little the body language wasn’t good though it looked a little wobbly foreign [Music] right back up momentarily [Music] watch the boys all right first real sustained success for gamrat in terms of grappling they gave him the credit for a takedown didn’t really do much with it but he still has the pack of sarukion halfway through round three [Music] and trying so hard to break the grip here [Applause] this is big for Grandma you’ve got a clear Advantage here he’s still a long way though from securing the submission they gave him another one there Brendan so that’s two takedowns we can help everybody on defends and turns and faces [Applause] at this point now it’s about who’s willing to push harder who’s willing to really go to that next level to dig deep you know and be a lungs on fire but knowing that your opponent is at the same time but willing to work through that pain because in terms of physical and skill matchups they’re almost even so now it comes down to you know in layman’s terms who wants it more nice sprawl for a camera wow still just grabs that leg chasing it in the final minute around three unbelievable big gamra just eat it oh my God each Landing in that Exchange on the feet sarukion starting to load up a little bit more with his punches oh that’s heavy for the first time in his career Armand sarukion will see action in the fourth round with a shrug and a stare of potash gamroth I mean the problem is for one another they’re just perfectly evenly matched I mean look at that they both jump at the same time here we see Metals gamer with the first advantageous position but still can’t secure anything right here we see gamra so uh sorry can land in a beautiful spinning back kick Gambler just eats it and continues to walk forward back I wondered at what point would they just throw down and just you know say screw it let’s have a brawl oh nice connection one hell of a chin now he’s eating a few shots to the midsection as well never looked phased once striking at all levels cam rod with another headshot that’s where he has the big lead sarukion mixing it up in my opinion the first two rounds I thought were a little more leaning towards saruk yam but that third I feel like you could some of these judges could have given that to gamrat so you know the rest of this fight could be real interesting if gamra can steal some rounds especially if he uses his five round experience he landed a nice punch there I mean sarukian is still throwing big kicks though the reality is that with the five round thing I mean saruki traded with Mike Brown you know come on look at the experience that they have repairing people for five rounds They Know What It Takes they know the type of preparation that goes into that how to pace yourself throughout so you know he’s had a lot of guidance and assistance in his preparation [Applause] it’s hard to even keep up with what happened these guys are still just exploding so quick on every attack sarukion ends the exchange with a better position here it was actually a nice Speedy back it’s that sarukia landed a moment ago that started that sequence well can you get the takedown off of it he’s fighting for it wow actually fighting for it Governor’s getting the best of these situations ever so slightly stays on the back [Applause] starting to fade a little bit which I’m not surprised this pace has just been ridiculous yeah and in gamra trying to press forward but then it’s just as we say that it comes back to Glory but he is looking at the clock he is looking at the clock [Music] all right [Music] oh [Applause] and everybody’s got to remember like we looked at that ISO shot on our monitors of that spinning back fist but if you’re calling this live oh we don’t have the luxury of that stiff jab from sarukiano put together a combination another heavy kick to the body but he finds himself on the business end of another takedown from gamra yeah that’s he secured that one there it is foreign has largely been able to return to his feet pretty much immediately and he does so again can he get the hooks in there oh wow this is where Patel said he had a weakness I wouldn’t say it’s a weakness but gamro might have a slight advantage biggest round for matoshkamrock no question about it oh his leg is stuck behind him in an awkward way too that looks painful [Music] oh he got it back that was awkward [Applause] however he’s got to be really careful to make him a clinical mistake here give up the back and get choked out however round’s about to finish we will go to a fifth and final rounds crazy here’s that spinning back fist that lands clean now he was in an awkward spot and got knocked down but it landed flush so we’ll never know if that’s what put him down or the momentum metaus gamrod has found his best success wrestling especially in the fourth round and you could hear Marcus pahumpa saying it could be 2-2 there were some Twitter scorecards that had the third round in favor of Cam rot you have a way to again none of that means anything there’s three people here that matter and I have a two-tube I don’t know I’ve been studying so closely Paul I couldn’t possibly judge it but you know what I mean in my mind that’s that’s where we’re at maybe it’s because I want it to be 2-2 as well well I’ll tell you this it’s a very even fight that’s a fight now at the end of that round there was a little concern in the corner of sarukian imploring him no more wrestling no more wrestling oh man you’re winning this fight on the feet that’s a good start gamrat said coming into this one I’m gonna outpace him I’m gonna put a pace on him like he’s never felt I’m gonna Tire him out certainly in this fifth round gamro looks like the fresher guy that’s why I get this talents are rookie no for wrestling foreign down that was a nice connection with the right cross from Jamrock in the last Exchange no more wrestling no more Runner doesn’t like it hey when you’ve spent a lifetime people you’re in the fifth round your heart scored a million miles an hour adrenaline spiking oh you do what you do oh yeah right to the back what an entry [Music] and with more than three and a half to go huge Advantage here it’s the fifth takedown unofficially for gamron this is a crucial round now again that third round is probably going to be the round that’s really important well you never know what do you mean you just never know how they’re going to score it no of course not but if foreign wow that was impressive [Applause] but now saruki is going to go to work he just oh nice oh telegraphing that you gotta set that up man what a pace yeah I mean right now this fight is still anybody’s in my opinion it is so even it’s neck and neck yes is ahead on a few strikes it’s it’s razor close fight both men are started to slow down but they’re still pushing equally as hard nice right hand connected there he’s gonna go again though so I recruit needs to continue on the pressure Garner’s gonna continue to fight as well final two minutes [Applause] [Music] [Applause] up here [Applause] big right cross from camrod so rookie on with a look up at the clock [Applause] kimrod tried to sneak in his sixth takedown unsuccessful armin’s on the neck can he turn it into something Now’s the Time to go for it 80 seconds left round five significant strikes by rounds and if it comes down to the fifth and final look at that yeah oh my god oh sarukion back to the body kick I mean it’s it’s incredible because neither man can really gain an advantage that’s how equal these guys are we doing right that these guys are so closely matched foreign to the back 20 seconds tries to grumpy roll unsuccessful this is a good way to finish the round though if your camera if the judges are undecided this could just tip the balance in his face with one more reversal and we’ll hammer away until the final horn what a way to finish wow he wanted to test himself over the course of 25 minutes in Armon sarukion did so matosh gamrod comes up big in the later rounds it’s anybody’s guess [Applause] all that’s left is an official decision in our main event for that here’s Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen after five rounds we go to the judges scorecards for a decision all three judges score this contest 48 47 for the winner by udemous decision materials [Music] oh God
