But are you ready comob Oh What A Punch what an incredible fight can you believe what you just saw we have a [Applause] champion welcome back to combat Global it is red hot tonight in Miami yeah it’s May but that’s when it you start sweating here in South Florida inside
Univ Studios is absolutely no exception that’s right they are ready to get it kick started in the how you the Beats of Lo Knockouts getting us started and it will be the ladies kicking it off inside laala in the Univision Studios Jimmy Smith alongside rodao Roman there is
Nothing like being in MMA getting the experience of your first few fights and looking for that first Victory it’s the one thing you need to taste as a fighter and for idusa right now this is her opportunity I mean right now Jimmy this is potentially a Do or Die for her right
You’re into your fifth competition here so this is going to be a good one a lot of pressure for do so lot of pressure how will she handle it let’s go to Omar Amador to get us started Stephanie There is Stephanie Aro five fights as a professional looking for that first Victory she says it wasn’t those weren’t losses to me right it wasn’t about losing it was about learning every sing single time I got into the cage every single time I got into the ring it was
About learning I’m ready now to take off but as you said could be make or break you start deciding I am I going to do this for the rest of my life one or two fights okay four fights you know we got to really contemplate her partner is uh
Coach pipo there on on her Corner that’s that’s her partner lives with her trains with her this man is with her all the time they leave he bre martial arts so I’m sure he had a conversation with it you know I’ve just seen him the tunnel right before they were into laa you
Could see him speaking to her say hey you got to do it this is it so looking back in retrospect to all her victories what she needs to do is she needs to be aggressive in that fight that she last had against the Andrea Garcia she’ll
Throw and then she’ll kind of back pedal kind of feel it out but this is MMA is fastpaced and when you’re fing a Katie who’s fastpaced they they don’t call her lakina for something you got to keep up the PA if you want that Victory here
Tonight now it can be pressure it can also be motivation it can also cause you to fail Omar Amador will get her opponent and see which it’s going to be yeah oh SW in Katie P and there’s her opponent Katie Perez as you said very very aggressive a quick starter likes to stay in your face do you double that advice tonight against someone who’s looking for their first win might be doubting themselves do you start fast if you’re Katy forz you got
To take this fight like if you’re driving a Formula 1 car Jimmy that’s what you got to do here tonight because this young lady is quick she’s fast she’s coming off two defeats she wants to taste for a w is again she just took on Kayla oracho we just recently saw
Compete inside laa who’s having phenomenal competition great work inside laala so this is your chance to get back at the Saddle and get that Victory and I’ll give you some stuff here that’s very important Jimmy that why she needs to to win tonight not only she is AVID
Fan of kbba gas she even painted something about that’s I got to say share that with me but her parents are watching tonight and they’re celebrating the 35th Anniversary tomorrow night or tomorrow May 14 so you know she has to win yeah no pressure now both of these
Ladies under the gun it’s about who can focus and who will fold under that pressure that can be the key to it tonight yeah you you have to stay focused on your game plan you got to be very careful with what you do because either one here coulded but when you
Look at the head to head only real difference so a bit heavier than ktie Perez Omar get us started buddy ladies and gentlemen we are ready for this bout set the three rounds of five minutes in the atomweight division Los W the judges are viente Rodriguez
John rert E James Laro damasi ceros the time is Here now ining out of the blue Corner she steps in with an official record of no victories four luses and one draw she weighed in at 1106b s Louis mexo [Applause] Stephanie her opponent in the Red Corner steps in with an official record of three victories four losses she weighed in at a sharp 104.6 lb wearing all blue s the Greensboro North Carolina Katie ma [Applause] Cina Josh rugers bring it in ladies please protect yourself at all times do
Everything within the rules you can to win listen to me at all times if there’s any questions ask them now if not touch gloves go back to the corner wait for the instructions about to get it started Stephanie iuso in the red and white versus Katie Perez in the blue ready and
We are underway to start of round number one did you look at that face off there you could tell thereo her she feels the pressure Katie you know that she’s having a lot of fun there and she’s going to take her time even the coach told hey take your time take it easy
Take a slow but I’ll tell you one thing Jimmy we saw the the the weight difference here if I’m Katie I’m gonna make her pay for it yeah Stephanie ruso Mi missed weight by six lbs now that’s a lot in any weight class you look at Adam weight you think about the percentage
That’s almost like a a welterweight missing weight by 10 15 PBS it’s a big deal it’s it’s a very big deal and again for Katie you take the fight but you know as a fighter you and I it’s kind of like hey you know if I tell you to do
Something at your office job and you come in late right we’re already here might as well get it on but you know how does it change the strategy don’t want to have your fighter on top you also when someone misses weight by that much more than 3 or four lounds a lot of
Times it means a late injury something went wrong with with Camp you have to wonder or or she was struggling to make weight you know she she she put a lot of time into that cardio she could be exhausted by that time she gets to the
Howa you know all of that we’re about to see here just a few and you talk about the start of ktie Perez usually kind of wild a bit of a fast starter right now cerebral taking her time very cautious a different type of ktie that we’re seeing
Inside she likes to paint right so as a painter you like to take Precision with your paintbrush kind of know the the right strategy to paint with but to get a a good drawing you want to make those Happy Trees right and she’s got and she
Has the hair for sure of an artist but right now being aggressive changing levels hunting for the taked down looking right now single leg think about seen us in do so compared to her previous fights I am seeing a little bit more of aggression coming out of her nice single not able
To stabilize ktie does have a pair of Victories here by way of submission doesn’t want to be here hanging on on top but not able to Ito down on her butt quite just yet able to get back to her feet that’s something you never want to see in a fight is you
Spend all the energy to get a taked down you don’t keep him down and hop back up you got it right back up so those three victories that she’s had Jimmy have been by way of submission triangle choke re naked choke and another triangle choke
Nice body lock Tak down for rer all the way to the back one hook in we may make it for it Jimmy good job by Aro able to transition on top Perez now trying to work from a guard she likes he the triangle choke great opportunity for her she has had
Some victories by way of that submission going Plata now but trapped against the fence see how much worko has put in that gym Victory to get that first Victory under her belt now in a position baby finish going across the face cranking hard almost a half back
Take and does she transition into time back to her feet kind an awkward position on the ground transition just a little bit too late and and you can see a little rustiness there in deu because of that right as you move up in Jiu-Jitsu the ones that get belts the ones who know
When it’s done right I can’t hold this position anymore it’s time to move she was just a little bit behind in that transition you don’t see that struggle it’s a very a quick transition once you’re at that level you’re able to adjust without uh not showing a
A little messiness so far Perez the aggressor going body loock again outside trip another taked down this time able to keep a lot of her weight yeah and good way of Katie putting that weight on her not letting it grow keeping her right where she wants gluing the hips of
Aro now one half guard position an awkward half guard has the whole leg trapped in there good job stepping outside control talked about the submission an Acumen of Katie Perez we’re seeing that where her position so far very good great hammer fist there setting it up that look at that right arm there
Jimmy yeah she has loose setting it up now beautiful trap into the crucifix position great job stepping over the arm almost an inverted triangle position seeing some funk from Miss Perez [Applause] already uh oh stepped over a little too early from out but nice here perhaps Jimmy that she may be
Working for it body lock once again just losing position just not quite stabilizing at the right time but a little bit of a problem this fight for Perez great body lock there from Perez not letting her go she got 10 seconds that she wants to pull out that Victory
By way have submission ruso looking to ride out the round bad position but she will see round number [Applause] two out F’s up let’s go welcome back inside La see a very happy Katie Perez in the blue Stephanie Aro in the red and white Aro needing to find a way back in this fight round one did not go her way absolutely not but her partner though did state to her she’s
Very confident to keep her faith she said hey cardio is key here keep let’s take this fight to the third round that’s the strategy that they’re taking and he also advised her keep the distance she’s working you with those leg locks on the floor make sure you
Keep it on top so in other words Jimmy cardio that’s what going to be the key here for iuso that’s the strategy take it to the third round difficulty is this is only a three round fight seen a lot of Fighters try to make their cardio a
Factor you give up two rounds that third round becomes a non-issue and remember we have open scoring here in Thea if hypothetically perezz wins rounds one and two she’ll know going in round number number three she is going with that right hand and see that’s why Katie’s Corner
Had a good way of approaching this fight take your time don’t exhaust yourself take it easy ktie Perez no surprise ahead all three judges scored round number one 109 for the fighter in blue the artist from North Carolina doing a great job with the knees and to your
Point about the taked down they’ve all been from this clinch position that been a lot of outside takedowns nothing very slick was only one trip about one trip that’s about it but yeah you’re right right changing level right Froming from the h pretty simple we call High School takedowns Right double leg clinch and here it is again on her butt yes well you know if it’s not working for you and you know that you’ve been taken down several times from this position that’s what the coach was
Telling her work the distance don’t try to get in that CL don’t get it yourself into laala yeah so far Katy Perez has been able to control the distance that’s been inside has been chest to chest she’s wrapped her body all around at Uso making it very difficult for for to
Escape yeah Russo of course a blue belt in J Jitsu Katy Perez a brown belt definitely more skilled these positions Perez now on top aren’t many belts in Jiu-Jitsu for those who don’t know it’s white blue purple brown black that’s it that’s that’s how you start getting Stripes
Yeah yeah you get the red stripes right now Perez the brown belt comfortably on top see what Russo can do from this Clos guard position so far low with her hips right in front of her coach you got to get watch this watch your triangle got
There’s no doubt here Katie is trying to go for that finish sheing some really good Hammer fist to allow her to open up and make catch any mistake available looking to isolate that right arm of Perez here big mistake this on her Ender stay stable stay centered that’s
How you avoid the armar don’t let your opponent angle just can’t escap from this position look the hips are there Jimmy you know bring him in towards you push off push her off to the hips instead of wrapping her up activity of PES this has not been a lay and prey
Type position been very active with the ground and pound she’s trying to go for her man look at thinking but yeah kamur though so hard to pull off in this position up against the fence crowded not a lot of space one thing Perez has done very very well Rolo is these
Takedowns haven’t been in the center of laala where you know the the submission game you can move around a lot of angles she’s been putting up against the fence right and and that gives you that chance to keep her where you want because you have the holla right there not allowing
Ado to escape and for the majority of this round Ado’s just been under backo now once again trying to isolate the arm Perez now in Triangle dang there is going armar now nope able to pull that arm out she’s searching for it Jimmy that was a little awkwarder of a
Position but went to the triangle without the arm in and without the arm in there is no triangle y little bit of a rookie mistake there KD Perez the brown belt taking Advantage now we got those 28 seconds but you know what I question is the cardio of she came in heavy oh good job transition of full 20 seconds left can’t she get the Finish Aro desperate now 14 seconds left in the round as that is teeing off couple to the back of the
Head but good transition by Perez staying on top 10 seconds left will Aro see the final Bell we don’t know but she’ll definitely see the end of round number Two into the round too easily does that make sense as soon as you start ing as soon as you start believing in what you’ve got she’s got nothing for you does that make sense stay in her face makes sense not stupidly does that make sense when she takes a step back what do
You do take a step forward when she takes a step forward what do you do St do that make sense make sense it’s a beautiful fight for you right now I just want more of the same don’t do what you’ve done to me in training when I’ve
Said good job Len let yourself relax does that make sense are crap let’s go let’s talk about the coaching thank you got this my welcome back to combat Global you see Ina the faces tell the story ktie Perez in blue Stephanie Aro in the red and
White Aro has been on the downside the last two rounds it has been a wipe out for ktie Perez well let’s talk about the corner advice her coach saying you’re doing a great job but don’t relax now don’t let your guard down like you said don’t don’t pay attention like when I
Say in the gym he you’re doing a good job and then relax no do what you came to do out here tonight and that’s get that Victory even though I’m telling you you’re doing great the easiest advice in MMA is do what is working and right now Katie
Perez when it comes to the ground game it’s been about the takedown she’s had the superior Jiu-Jitsu ended round number two in Mount do you expect her to just go back to that strategy again it’s been working why change it but you got to finish it the the the opportunities
For finishes have been there you got to finish it right now this is the shot you don’t have to let it go right all all through the third round and get a decision Victory don’t never leave it to the hands of the judges even though you
Know that you’re winning how do you feel about ktie Perez’s pacing in this fight because one of the reasons we haven’t seen him finish is by the time she gets there that full Mount position back Mount position it’s been the end of the round she starts off very deliberately
And kind of build as the round goes think that’s a good strategy I I think so it’s just like we were having a conversation earlier right you’ve evolved you’re at this level now now let’s try to test some different things usually when you see a Katie you see
That she’s more aggressive with the standup her stand up here not so much we haven’t seen much of that it’s more of the ground game that we’re seeing so we’re seeing a different side of Katie and referee admonishing Aro for grabbing the cage and now Katy press crowding the
Hips with good job from ruso getting back up but we have oh a quick mistake actually pulled a ruso on top of her and now it goes back to what the coach said don’t take this lightly exactly almost into the full Mount stay in the game
Doing a good job one hook in trying to sneak out the back door this still a dangerous position for both Fighters if Aro makes a mistake and get her back taken no surprise here we have open scoring hereo combat Global Katy Perez has won both of the first two rounds 20
To 18 ruso needs a finish in round number three only way she’s going to win this right now she’s trying to see if she could get that opening where she could get that mount or full Mount problem that leg is that leg lock that she has is just not allowing it her
Bre she can turn that body lock can end up on top she frees her head she’ll end up uh behind her it’s like right now like he can flip a coin right now Jimmy is anyone’s game and it is bre came up heads KD Perez able to come out get one hook
In a the end right now Jimmy a little bit of that inexperience went for the rear naked when the body was turned but now Mike get the ground down finish and that’s it that’s it grounded pound for Katie Perez it was the story of the fight but the final chapter in round
Number three different Katie I’m sure the parents right now are uh they’re anniversary is a lot more sweeter here tonight with that win from her daughter they got their 35th Anniversary gift and here’s how it happened R beautifully executed Katie was just searching for this position to finish it and here it
Is they had to wait till the third round coach told her hey good job it doesn’t mean that you need to stop and take it lightly pull the full force get that Victory she did it right here tonight another W back in the win column for ktie Perez La minina assina yeah great
Game plan didn’t spend too much energy it was like a slow boil throughout this fight the in the end the heat too much for iuso great job for Katie Perez she gets a TKO win we’ll make it official when we come back welcome back inside Univision Studios inside laala ktie Perez a great
Performance will make it official Omar Amador take it away minutes and 47 seconds in the third round the referee’s forced to stop the fight after a series of punches uncontested paradora for knockout technical for the winner by TKO ktie minina this was a fight Rolo when you
You said both ladies have their backs against the wall or you know the cage in this case you have to decide can I be a professional Katie Perez tonight fought like a professional we saw a lot of technique a lot of skills a lot of heart
From her and one man was happy and that’s Campell McLaren he’s in laala if he’s in there it’s cuz he approves of that Victory so Katy Perez congratulation and it’s time for Doo fifth fight five fights in a row that you’ve lost it’s a really good to stret
Your and the stats tell the story great win for Katie Perez Moore Japan invades when we come Back oh look at that beautiful shot of South Beach Miami Florida you going to the beach tomorrow R come on you got a Sunday yeah man live in the beach it’s starting to get hot and is even hotter and Thea that’s right Japan invades yui figa taking on jelt G Castillo that’s
Right the first of our Japanese invasion Omar get us started you that’s Yugi figa fighting out of Tokyo Japan his amateur record 6 and0 with three Knockouts but just starting his pro career he is three and0 has never tasted defeat comes in with a lot of confidence tonight well that stands out
About this guy of course all of his fights have been in neon yeah but it’s a stand up game a little not too much cuz he does keep his hands up but a little Michael P with the way he stands a little ta doish type of stand but still
Has that kickboxing background that’s what’s going to be and those guys are hard to read because you think they think oh he’s leaving himself open I can just connect and they’re so deceiving because they’re so quick and they can connect and any they want which could be a problem for
Jber but looking forward to this young man here inside laala for the first time it begins Jimmy the versus Katan you know we just had in risen CLA Lopez canete she’s Victory so we’re one and0 oh we know about the Japanese fighter what about his opponent Omar tell us about him
J belt Gilbert Castillo goes by wolverine look it’s something in him when he talks about Combat Sports he doesn’t talk about skills he doesn’t talk about where I train he talks about something inside him that makes him a fighter there are Combat Sports athletes and there are Fighters Castile says I’m
A fighter that’s my thing that’s how that is I know him personally I I was there in the gym when he came to the United States Eric Castillo kickboxing champion the man you see right there is hugging him he basically opened the gym to him brought him here to the state to
Train and from here on out he’s had a very successful career as a mixed martial arts professional and I remember coming in here he they have what they call this Judo kickboxing type of style that they have which is basically the comination right but at their own style
You got to remember what this guy in Cuba there’s no MMA school you know they’re doing this stuff underground I remember these guys have told me that they used to watch MMA fights they had boot leg a VHS that’s how they found out of MMA but this has something that he
Wanted to do and he’s had that opportunity to do it inside the H like here tonight and he’s not only carrying the flag for Cuba but for kbat tonight and look at the age difference Castillo 10 years older then foe got also the reach Advantage for the fighter from
Tokyo I will work out Anda let’s find out Omar take it away we are ready to continue with much more action with this fight scheduled to three rounds of five minutes at a catch weight of 160 lbs loses on the judges are Ricardo celis Vicente rodri John Rert now introducing out of the blue Corner the Victorious he comes with an undefeated record of three professional victories he weighed in at a Shar 1596 lb s the Tokyo hon he’s from Tokyo Japan you see he V now his opponent out of the Red Corner he stepped in with a professional record of five victories and three losses waiting at 160 lbs Vendo Roo Blanco wearing red and white s the Miami Florida representing Cuba J Alber marosz all right so you already know the
Rules it’s eugi foe we got from to in the black shorts his opponent Gilbert Castillo in the red and white catch weight 160 lbs and we are underway round number one this is awesome Jimmy you know it kind of gives you that Vibe of kopa combat you know
Will Japan be in it this time around you know we haven’t had any Asian countries in kopac Big R we got right to the floor beautiful right overhand right notorious for that guy hit by that one of those times inspired by him beautiful shot over the top I hope you recovered
Well cuz got right in trouble look at that head bro beautiful stuff he trains a lot of Judo but that boxing from ger robbert has been exceptional we saw it last time around when he took Richie Palomino got the fighter from Tokyo right now on his back foot trying to get
Back into this fight came out with a great shot wow now for yui he needs to slow down that pace he understands that he can’t leave some of that opening Gap cuz Jaa is going to throw that overhand right he needs to be very cautious that was a wakeup
Call it’s about how ifu got response right now kind of trying to clear his head maybe slow the fight down a little bit you know one thing we haven’t touched based on Jimmy and I think is extremely important is that time difference you got a third 1our difference from the United States here
In Miami Florida to Japan and listen jet lag stinks travel issues yeah the whole nine so that comes into play Jimmy F we got right now on top working through the half guard of Castillo this is exactly where the Japanese fighter wants to be he said my opponent has power but he
Swings a little too much well he was not ready for that overhand right shot he underestimated that he r but not for this fight cuz he connected very sweet F got Ry right now good hit pressure not making a lot of effort to pass guard he had a couple opportunities
To step over in the side control didn’t take good chance well I mean it’s is only his third fight right as a pro Jimmy and it just goes to show you that you’re a pro you start learning you it’s almost like you learn on the job sometimes you have no choice right now
Three and0 looking for that fourth win look like this is going to be a short one after that that overhand right but F we got nice move back though doesn’t want to do that nak might be done maybe one for the Japanese F got trying to get the rear
Naked choke finish Castillo try that chin down yeah he has that chin down good way of ripping it apart but can make any mistakes can’t leave himself open and he has two minutes and change so it’s not like he he can depend on that belt jimy yeah big right from
Castillo and a big throw but hasn’t shown a lot of offense since then and Neiva has been able to to to clear the cobwebs apparently get back to good position and here’s where that height disparity is so difficult those long legs when someone has your back they
Stretch you out so easily from this position and he have his wrapped around very well J robit just can’t get out very tight it’s like a mile of legs around you in a good position to ground and pound and also if the round continues this way it’s a tough one to score right
Right but see and this is the position that’s so difficult for J Rober keeping those hands up yes you’re protecting yourself but you’re also leaving yourself exposed cuz you can sneak one of those hands in there that’s for the rear naked choke and that’s what you T
Typically do right you throw in those little loopy shots so you can leave that opening and sneak it in it’s called beating someone into submission hit him a little bit and find opport catch him off guard wow what a change of pace is this fight huh yeah but great job from the
Veteran F we got know his only is is his fourth Pro fight in laa tonight but also a decorated amateur 9 and0 overall so he does have some cage [Applause] time trained with the likes of Gilbert Burns at kill Cliff FC yeah you know he’s got the rounds yeah he was he was
Determined to get this Victory here the states he made that move here to kill Cliff change himself and you we’re thinking about that that time difference so that’s why it’s important ke you get here a lot earlier so you get adjusted to that timing Castile trying to spin
His way out but now in more trouble 20 seconds left in round number one see Campbell McLaren right here right there on the spot taking a look at the action not doing any coaching not taking sides but very very close keeping an eye on everything right at Howa
Side Castillo round started out great but not ending well for the fighter [Applause] from and right here you see the the the the the the early success of Castillo but yeah beautifully executed here uh Jimmy but was very impressive is that Yuji was able to compose himself sh was taken
Down but then and and we said it earlier a little hard to judge this fight going to be very tricky ask me interesting to see how the judge scored it but we have open scoring so we very very Soon Gil Castillo in the red and white Yuji foe got right there from Tokyo in the black trunks round number one a back and forth Affair Castillo dropping F guy but F gu able to get it back got the hooks in great position for most of that fight I’m really curious how
This one is scored yeah it’s going to be and once again he’s connects to the head but you see what I would do Jimmy here because of that height try to work the body here I know he’s trying to go for the head trying to finish off the
Fight real quickly and for Yuji he has to squat down because dber is the shorter of a fighter but I would really try to work that body to bring it down to my level and figa from Tokyo putting the pressure on and castio trying to counter with the
Power Yugi said you know my opponent does have good power he swings a little wide but he hits very very hard but still ug fiva got taking a lot of punches and in then exchange Jimmy Yuji is not keeping his hands up keeps him low think he came in a
Little cocky thought he would see those punches coming and is now realizing he can’t I think he came in a little overconfident to be honest I don’t think that overhand shot would have connected if he would have just torn it down a bit now was key what going to
Be really a key here’s cardio for J Robert see if you can go away I know with fomo he went to to to away the third round but right now it’s been a lot of action for both these guys and I can see jwri just calming down a bit there with the
Pace and F got winning round number one on all three judges scorecards and Castillo to your point when you talk about cardio these haven’t been Jabs ralo they’ve been power punches that take a lot of energy and he’s been backp oh nice and now he may
Be in trouble oh he went for the spitting back elbow thinking caught Castillo coming in with that lead knee what I’ve been seeing a lot Jimmy is a lot of that back pedaling from J robbert nice leg kick left hand combination that’s usually the assigned it I don’t want
Some f got marching forward trying to make laala small for Gilbert Castillo nice double leg finish he got yeah nicely put yeah right into side control castill still hanging on the head a little bit of rookie move There no guard no guillotine but still holding on to the head that cost you a lot of energy yep you talk about history of Japan and Cuba and martial arts you know some Japanese went to Cub taught some karate he my my coach Cuban taught karate from a Japanese one
Of those hardcore determined if they came out of the way over here to train to Cuba and Judo we got some exceptional Jud Doos great Judo in Cuba great Judo in Japan great wrestling in Cuba great wrestling in Japan great great boxers out of both countries but right now by
Not by not letting go of the head he’s in Von flu trouble can finish the Von flu choke from here those are rare to come Jimmy yeah OSP loves it from this half guard position he can do it but it takes those long legs takes that long build F got definitely has
That I’m Nike juji’s F fighting style and and his switching right he kind of has that tawan D type of stance and’ll flip it now back to fullard here’s where the guillotine can work going hard for it is Castillo trying to take it home with him
There it is okay that’s a better shot there Jimmy hey you see the calm on the face the chin is definely thumbs up thumbs up giving our camera the thumbs up and the referee and that right there is going to exhaust that right arm from because for J Robert Rolo you said it
Perfectly the problem with the guillotine you don’t get it you are out of gas takes your whole body to crank that gutin now remember was that Rosa junis she does an exercise where she’ll get like a medicine ball to squeeze and squeeze over and over and over to
Condition that arm but in a fight when pretty much you’re all of your body is working you’re going to exhaust that arm doesn’t matter how much you practice it hard one to do yep the key is knowing when to Let It Go could have held on to it a little too
Long cuz right now F got being aggressive throwing those short shots on top and shades of round number one ending the fight in a dominant position trying to go for an up kick yeah Jimmy it’s just one of those moves that you can’t be stubborn with it if you don’t
Have it Let It Go 10 seconds left in a very close round who will leave the judges with an impression as we go to round number [Applause] Two spee spee fore spee fore welcome back to combat Global we and laala Yuji fiva on the left side of your screen in the black Trunks from Tokyo to your right Gilbert Castillo if either fighter thought this would be easy that it would be a walkover they have both
Been proven wrong they got the wrong script Jimmy cuz this surely is not headed to the third round of this competition and jalur just needs to pick up the pace here that beautiful knee Castillo trying to stay on his feet but a beautiful shot the fighter from Tokyo
Now trying to finish that victory that he had last time around that he saw action he laid in some sweet knees Jimmy might be a repeat to that yeah he has the build for it f got so much taller than his opponent Castillo right now trying to look for any kind of Safe
Harbor but fighter from Tokyo Japan all over him wow I can’t believe Castillo’s still on his feet after for those shots vicious hard is a cofin nail as a great man once said got a lot of heart and you know J robber has good wrestling but not enough for Yuji here
In this case that’s why he’s not going for it if you look at some of his previous fights wrestling wrestling for him but not this case he’s been very wary of the the range he’s been wary of the Guard see the judges scorecards well two judges have it tied up wow one judge
Has um foe got up two rounds to one so this this fight is up for grabs round number three will decide yeah yeah so but during the break there Erica Casa the the coach for J Roba say hey keep your guard up keep your guard up oh but right now guard’s
Not going to help it full Mount now taken the back with those long legs and he hasn’t had any success from this position and we are early in the round three minutes left yeah but good job from F guy knew he was sideways didn’t completely have
The back it’s more like you fooled him the guy got you veteran move yeah very very now flattened out those long legs of f guys a worst person to have you mounted or have your back goodness and now you make it the mouth here Jimmy looks like still a little bit of
Half guard let say that left leg is still stuck in the middle yeah it is that doesn’t help ground and pound is still raining down you got those shots for elbows and Hammer fist problem is Castillo used a lot of energy in the first round those power
Shots you got to wonder how much he has left to defend in round number three that’s going to be the key and right after that first you could see C that was it that’s it one big shot but but enough that the referee has seen enough a TKO win with
The fighter from the Land of the Rising Sun a victory for the Japanese here tonight Jimmy your keeping score that’s one and one if you count CLA Lopez’s victory over and great job Yugi foea on the ground ground and pound just what he wanted will it continue stay with us and find out

Style she tends to be a slow starter her opponent Sada takes a lot of risks on top who did you give the early advantage to this is a very dangerous fight for palasio and let’s not even count let’s not even talk about what happened all the stress that was going on on Thursday
Flying into to Miami making weight on Friday we could set that aside but yes so you know she’ll she’ll drive wherever you wanted to drive she’ll go ahead and take the wheel she’ll play your game Japanese submission style right not position go it’s not going to be pretty
It’s just very just straightforward boom get to the point and and when the opportunity is there she will grab it she will not waste it and look at the numbers on the head-to-head palasio slightly taller a significant reach Advantage 5 in weight exactly the same technique very different Omar I can’t
Wait get us started the P ATO ladies and gentlemen everything is ready for this ladies bout at the three rounds of five minutes in the atomweight division Los the judges are James Laro Ricardo celis EV viente rodrigue out of the blue Corner she steps in with a professional
Record of four victories no losses and one [Applause] draw she weighed at 105.2 PBS wearing old [Applause] Blacko her opponent out of the Red Corner she stepped in with a professional record of seven victories one loss and one draw she waiting at a mean and lean 105.2 lbs s the Mexico City annaa [Applause] Pal rers we went over the rules in the locker room listen to me at all times protect yourself at all times be can with the rules to win most importantly best of luck God bless if there’s any questions ask there if not touch gloves go back to the corner wait for the
Bell it is Jiro saara in the black Anna palaos in the red my broadcast partner rala ran is not sitting down heck no I’m not sitting I’m on my feet for this one man plus coffee doesn’t help and we are underway round number one but but earlier this
Week what fight were we talking about we were talking about this one this is the one but I think because of the situation that basio had you know it’s more kind of like uh you know what what if is she fighting under the best circumstances right late weight cut didn’t know if she
Was coming out for the fight a lot of stress this week she has to leave all that behind and fight she flew in Thursday afternoon waiting on Friday cut weight on the plane right you get to cut on the plane you me see shadow box in the
Middle out the plane JM he might knock someone out but in this sport of MMA you got to be ready for those late notice fights you have to be ready to set everything aside nice right hand by palasio and I think saana has a little Shiner there on the left hand Stucker
Early s p um sorry pawing at her left eye what I’m liking from palus Jimmy is she’s playing the distance very well she knows this a l is going to try to go in for the taked down for it very very well the last fight in laala against Park
From Korea that fight was not going well at all basio was able to get the armar from the bottom but she was taking the beating before that nice combo thatc yeah and and what palas is going she her level but this this is where she’s dangerous Jimmy this is where Sada is
Dangerous from this position the strength the power that she has good job getting her guard back for palasio very well and that’s why you can never count her out active close guard walking her legs up oh good ground and pound from Sada and that Japanese submission style
I mean it’s been around since the start of MMA it is submission submission before position you go for lot of leg locks very flexible guard a lot of funky passes imari rolls stuff like that it’s a very straightforward type of discipline not like the bra Jitsu that
We’re so used to seeing very different you can be prepared for one and not the other Sada doing a good job trying to get that knee slice pass good left hand not letting Palos back to her feet is so good at getting that guard back she is
She she truly is but Sada that you know the way that wrestling she’s able to keep her down really good good shots in there that’s that power that she has but again never count out palasio she can grab an arm she can grab anything and take this
Victory by way of submission at any point that’s playing with fire a little bit here staying right in front that upkick from palasio we talked to her earlier today Jimmy palas said look this Victory right here is not to prove that I’m a top Adam weight in the Western Hemisphere I’m in
The world if I get this Victory looking for the triangle there it is she might have it she may have something there Jimmy to water in trouble get that foot behind the kneecap this might be done turning rightfully so going after the arm desperation from saada on the Escape
Now transition to the arm beautiful job awesome great transition from palasio Sada looking at her corner like what do I need to do here hey you got to angle the right way and if I’m palus because of all the stuff that I’ve been through here I want to finish this early
Does not want a long fight so far a lot of aggression still fighter from Mexico that creative ground in P look trying to isolate the right arm of Sada again s now trying to spin over you got to walk the body she got it now she has to watch your legs Japanese Fighters
Known for those leg locks and this has been a great Ground Battle back and transition scrambling in both ends their way to pick each other up you count as a grappling door right you’re a grappling door okay cool yeah yeah making sure we’re appreciating the same thing right Sada doing a great job
Of those KNE cut passes and back to guard sometimes the audience you know they start boing but if it’s this quick back and forth that transition that’s that’s the beauty of it which is a very Japanese style they don’t wait they’re aggressive with their passes balasos knees underneath the
Armpits a high guard is an attacking guard only guard she knows once again against bohun park park her last time out fight was not going well able get the armar from this exact position soada Knows It But unlike Park this young lady Sada she’s she’s good on the ground yeah very Park was
Just a standard had really mean 10 seconds left and what has been a very active round number one for both Fighters good ground and pound to punctuate the end of the round for Sada has that cut on that left eyebrow so shouldn’t be much of an issue if a doctor would have check
It not causing any issues Vision all right so what’s going on Cal down work St very close don’t give her two space CU she’s going to land in the shots in the chest push the legs from round number one walking into the right hand of Palos that was the cut the
Redness that beautiful yeah just beautiful the way she executed came in at the right timing that’s when she has really good timing but palasio is here working the ground game she had many opportunities for sufficient victories but Sada we talked about man just good transitioning on both ends round number one everything we
Expected rodo and I so excited for this Throwdown we’re getting ready for round number two it is Anna palasio in the red Jiro saara from Japan in the black what a fight it has been so far we have open scoring here in Thea Kat go will know the scores very very soon the
Fighters know him as well last I think that was the first kick that we’ve seen in this fight so far from s it’s just been F round game a very tight style very hi your chin very well yeah hard to find that offense good angle I love that footing there from Sada with
That step with the left and charge but palaso so far doing a good job with the counter timeing with the right hand yeah that’s that’s that’s what palasio she’s so good at you can’t can’t really read her she’s very deceiving and Sada cut her teeth on with under the Sho
Organization in Japan one of the oldest MMA organizations in the world great organization trained with Teo Yama Irvine California great camp and right now you see the judges scored at 109 Sada all three judges scorecards and it has to go to that ground r that take
Down that she had TR with Carla Esparza course former UFC champion pounds trying to faint there from palasio good inside kick from Sada a little bit of a style change in round number two for Sada more kicks more angles on the feet you realiz that she’s dealing with
A a fighter who has some excellent Jiu-Jitsu not going to be a wipe out on the ground no what I’m noticing about you see that stance she has like a wrestler stance which oh nice lead left which you know back in the day we used to see a
Lot left hand straight to the Tak down that’s why she likes that wrestler easy for the knee and she but she has so good timing with it you have to watch out with those Up Kicks she’s very wary of the legs of Palos Palos does have an excellent guard very long legs extremely
Powerful oh over there calling up to stand up oh great he tried to go for that taked down but L is quick to move out so out of her first fight in the United States know part of the problem for uh Anna palasio is I could find a lot of
People willing to fight me nobody wanted to step in at least to a lot of gaps in my training in my fight record want consistency she can find it here her past two opponents are are from Asia yeah who wants some well I’ll tell you somebody who wants him CLA Lopez
Competed here in laala went on Twitter and said the fight that makes sense to her is Anna palasio so I’m sure that young lady beautiful kick that she’s keeping a close eye on palasio she just came off for victory in Japan got a victory for her kbat at
R so Basi has sumon waiting for ran into that right hand or could Sada be next with a great performance tonight A Lot on the line another take down with the fighter from Tokyo Japan we’ve seen pales in this position many many times she did her best y long legs she she
Ground belt but as her Corner said can’t give her space she’s going to land that grounded pound and she’s right here no big wind up on those shots rodo they’re quick they’re tight And so why just doesn’t let go you just keeps going and going think about Japanese Fighters that Relentless Pace they keep coming they’ll wear you down right into that hand [Applause] though getting a littley there huh off balance that right hand didn’t look too sharp with the strike kind of loopy
Another take down immediately that hip up to prevent the Clos Guard Great move early don’t let your opponent get to guard don’t have to pass guard no no right and that right there just that right there that’s enough to impress the judges yeah 30 seconds left in round number
One saada on top of Anna palasio close round number one but we know the scores they went to to Sada all three judges round number two a bit more distance Sada starting to dominate with 10 seconds left in round number two so far the fighter from Tokyo Japan has all
The momentum she has that going for her we saw some different techniques coming into that second what is she keep to do in third Furious the palasio she wants to claim to be the best in the world she needs to prove it here with a victory over Sada yeah palasio seven and
One very experienced try my best I know your wife’s Japanese don’t know how much you know but go for it buddy bear with me Timmy all right I’ll get those words all right give me give me a little little time basically to calm down that’s pretty much what I understood in my
Apologies all I know is Goa 5 minutes left from Watching Pride that’s it the only Japanese I know 5 minutes L the old school fans will get that everybody else totally lost Anna Palos in the red Oru I’m hungry how about that there you go taking on Chihiro saada in the
Black an Blasio has to find a way back into this fight wouldn’t surprise me if it’s two rounds to none for Cho saada we will know the score short the scores shortly remember we have open scoring glal great ankle pick there from Sada Elio’s going Guillotine but guard’s
Not there it’s going to be hard to finish yeah and then we’ve had that conversation before Jimmy when do you let go of that arm if it’s could be coming got it trapped she’s trying to way escaping risky for BS there’s that Japanese style you don’t wait for the position keep going
Yep it’s so rapid and so fast and palaso almost getting on top good movement though the on top the only surp there 2018 all three judges scorecards an the Palos needs a finish in this round number three only way she continues to be at the top of that Adam
Weight class Adam wake weight class is a victory over SW right now and remember she had trouble with her visa had to travel out late had to cut she made weight by the way had to cut weight very very late this is where that becomes difficult round number three is when you
Start feeling all of those effects and you can’t use that as an excuse no right you can’t last po look I’ve been training I’ve been waiting and it doesn’t matter I’m going to put that aside I need to prove to myself and the world that I am a top
Athlete in my weight class but all those factors in round number three kind to start piling up and you’re in a position where Sada can just basically ride out this round number three keep the shots coming you know keep keep the on a simmer for your average Geor Jimmy right who who does
Not fight who does not compete but who is a fan of fighting right if you’re 10 minutes late for a job interview and you’re stuck in the highway okay that’s kind of the same feeling right you’re like oh man you know hard start racing that’s the same thing that palas was
Feeling am I man make it to this fight I I don’t know if I’m going to make it you know and and and all of that stress plays a big role into a fight right now Sada beautiful pass into side control on top what looks to be a tired and bloody Anna
Palasio that’s so good at this fight getting her guard back round number three that has not been the case no chance to get to full guard so water of though just great great plan you know she she stayed to her bread and butter of wrestling that round and
Pound ate some big shots in round number one since then has been all could be two and one against combat Jimmy if you’re keeping keeping score oh beautiful back transition one hook in both h a beautiful two minutes left transitions are great yeah fantastic super fast palaso now in a position
Where she’s trying to protect her neck and also watch the ground and pound she may be in trouble here Jimmy not much action coming from she has those hands up protecting yourself so smooth staying from staying in Mount from back control never giving up the top position great stuff
From that left that left leg to continue with that body lock got a minute in change left doesn’t want to be late in the fight she’s just she’s just not showing it here tonight I mean I know she’s she’s known as that comeback girl but it would be the comeback of her
Career to do this with a minute left in round number three with less than a minute to go saada great pacing great patience great technique throughout this fight superb it’s only her fifth fight but boy she look great in there fighting like a veteran fought a lot of big
Shows knows how to perform under the big lights combat Global she came in with a great game plan with 30 seconds left left can Ana palasio get something done KNE cut pass yet again just just look how she just positions that left arm puts the shoulder right to the chin yeah
There’s no quit in Ana palasio but so far has not had the answer tonight as she gets back to half guard with 10 seconds left we see that desperation armar maybe she may be working for something Sada with that arm bar but Sada able to keep the def defense
Tight ending the fight with some ground and pound great performance from the fighter from Tokyo Japan palasio just just look at the the facial expression there she know she was in a war but that war started earlier when she had to wait and question if she was even
Going to fight tonight yeah she made it here tonight but jiito saada impressive performance for Japan will make it official when we come back it was Japan versus Latin America here combat Global chiro saada makes it 2 and 0 over Anna palasio will’ll make it official after three rounds of much more
Action all judges are in agreement with scorecards 30- 27 for the winner by unanimous decision from Tokyo Japan Sho so great preparation great execution all her her skills on display tonight against a game Anna Palos and she you know the water looked great though she looked amazing the timing was perfect
And let’s face it I know you can use anything excuse but basos think that had to play a role that whole situation just getting in here to get that fight you got Thursday night you come in in the afternoon then you got WS the next day
Let’s take a look at the difference here Jamie I mean it’s the it’s it’s right there for you and the biggest stat is the takedowns five for saana able to work her top game an A palasio in this fight to your point in round number one after that you saw the effect started
Slowing down late entry could be part of it but the punches too from Sada you know they were very effective yes the takedowns were there but she she wasn’t BR and then I think it was the want to say the second round where palasio it’s it’s like the technique was almost
Forgotten you know she was just throwing ly punches leaving herself exposed that’s what SW to capitalized the right time with the take Downs well coming up is Nico Bara versus Ramiro Jimenez going to be an outstanding fight in our main event you guys are experienced they are

About our own Bara for Now nicoo 7-2 as a professional five of those wins by decision it’s a debate in MMA rodao is it better to show that you can go the distance or is it better to finish everybody and show that you’re a finisher Nico obana definitely a guy who

To do that put your losses behind you and refocus that’s his goal tonight but as you mentioned it’s five of SE five of his seven victories come by way of decision Jimmy and and that’s a key and you know we talk about first round finishers those guys don’t take a lot of
Damage when you go to the third round and you have multiple fights like that your body starts taking the toe and then we don’t have to talk about all the stuff that you do in the gym so over time that to play you mentioned it was

Opponent’s mistakes let’s bring him in nowo Himz Ramiro Jimenez from Mexico trains with the goat shed Academy that means some hard sparring some interesting techniques a lot of Warriors coming out of that gym here in South Florida but uh Jimenez full of confidence coming in undefeated as a pro and as many fights
As uh Bara has had by decision he’s had by finish five out of six he’s finished five out of six only one again you had to go to 2019 when he had a unanimous this decision Victory but you have pressure you’re you’re undefeated you want to keep that momentum going but he
Been training with some Savages at the goet Academy if you saw right behind him we saw coach aim and F for for R mind you he fights next month here in Kat looking forward to seeing that man inside laa but this is the type of dude
That’s quick he’s fast and he has some good work on the ground as well lot of these pictures come by way some subm missions but he is definitely an impressive fighter inside laala looking to keep on that undefeated record but Ramiro himz that aggression can lead to some some
Openings can Nico Bara take advantage look at the head-to-head just a little bit older is niik Bara a 4 in height Advantage for Jimenez and 10 in of reach Jimenez can keep this fight on the outside if he wants to we see if he makes that choice Omar Amador is going

Trying to put that EUR gran flag up high and we have a lot of folks here from Uruguay support of this young man Nico Bara right now un up playing the fence fast that’s the thing with human is once he gets in a rhythm there’s no
Way of stopping him yeah very quick with his hands can throw some wide punches was in trouble on the ground early his last fight here in laala gave up his back but able to come back and win on that one by TKO one thing that just stands out there
For for Nico is that oh is that catch the kick good single leg he has that open hand guard you saw that you can have a debate open hand close fist each his own yeah but nio Bara one thing you can debate is once you take somebody down you better keep him there
Got the single leg and then it’s able to bounce back to his feet now get a take down of his own look six and0 he trains with P Perez and have you’ve seen that man once he gets you under the ground the chances of you of getting up well
You may have a better chance of winning the lot tell you that go you know how hard that is yeah of course trying to deal with right now the physical pressure of Ramiro Jimenez look tamam for viciously attacking he man feel was very confident here he may take this way in that first
Round like he’s been doing in his previous fights we talk about the confidence of a finisher I know if I unload I can get any opponent out of there and I mean he’s laying everything in there Hammer fist elbows shots to the body now trying to work that deep half
Guard got to commit to a side with the half guard either get underneath and sweep or sit up right now kind of stuck in the middle right I about to say here not doing much here for this position now able to get underneath looking for
The sweep that’s one way to go in that deep half guard now they’re sting up that’s the other side now positioning here towards the Howa yeah able to get back to his feet little bit of a victory there for the fighter from Urugay Ni that’s where he wants to keep that fight standing but he to is trying to show off somebody’s Tak down good job stuffing the Tak down isolate that far wrist that Kimura position what I like about human is fighting a very smart fight very relaxed composed waiting for the good
Opportunity he’s not he’s not really trying to just finish it off real quickly just writing for the right moment yeah threatening that Kimura position go trying to get both not going to happen protect yourself at all times Jimmy that was ready n Bar on that break
Oh beautiful is T in round number one it was that knee that set it up and then the hook and that is it for a goat shed fighter wow out of Mexico this crowd know where he’s from and what he’s capable of wow great job with the a flying knee
Finish the rest of it that ground pound just icing on the CI ni Bara still down in the one round you know the hype is real for this guy Jimmy look at that FL beautiful just executed remember how said always protect yourself at all times didn’t do
It here right there boom snook it ran right in the butt and and it almost seemed like those hooks weren’t necessary cuz he might have been out what was that left hook there that kind of just right by the ear was all she wrote excellent stoppage by the referee
All over this finish that’s a very happy Ramiro Jimenez wow ni here just there is some uh Brotherhood there afterwards shaking the hand but n disappointed the Manz man he’s just the exceptional amazing stuff he’s the hype is real for this guy the physical gifts this guy has are 100% for real explosive
Powerful we will get the particulars out of the way when we come back well the question is fight would it be the finisher or would it be the fighter who tends to go deep well it turns out it was the finishing skills that mattered Omar Amador take it away
3 minutes and 34 seconds of the first round referee Marcos Perez put stops to this fight after a spectacular KNE to the face for knockout technical for the winner by TKO The Mex California Mexico riro El he Man well there’s confidence and then there is confidence this kid has it 7 and0 with six finishes the hype train keeps rolling for romiro Jimenez that guy is a Phenom inside the Howa making it look so pretty what a beautiful SE here for the just awesome type bam right there and then
That left hook just to finish it all up but that need just beautifully timed just waiting for the right being right there right on the button Bara just was out out for the count they timely executed and you know that’s that’s the thing with with when you fight guys like that Jimmy so
Fast you can’t relax in that position there he you know his quickness you know that he can hit you from any angle you always have to be cautious at all times and Bara spent a lot of this fight up against the fence not in the center where he can maybe use his
Movement his head movement his guard he was in a place where he could and the stats show that look at that just four punches is all he took and you’re right it’s more like he he put his foot un mud he just couldn’t get out from the position taking himself back to laala
Where you clearly see if you see all he manage this fight that’s what he does he pushes you that way so then he can finish you well great performance just like he predicted the question here is how will his future go looks bright right now welcome back to combat Global Jimmy
Smith alongside rodo Roman there are two sides to the coin when it comes to Japanese MMA there is the versatility right we saw that from Sada the takedown the submission game the other side is never submitting to the odds always come forward and also Shino anai has to be of
That second category always coming forward he’s a gritty fighter and when you asked him what’s your style of fighting he like I fight like an animal hence that’s my nickname right and he does he surely does fight like an animal he’s a straightforward type of fighter
Coming right at you like a bull now there’s pluses and minuses about that right because as you move forward some openings could be available there for your opponent well he knows he comes in with pride let’s find out more about both of these Fighters I’m from Japan at age of 37 years Old it might be hard to understand when Shino anai says I’m going to have fun tonight fun for him is an allout war with neither fighter backing up that’s his kind of fun fortunately it’s our kind of fun too Revol absolutely and he’s prepared to go all three rounds he
Even said it like this is only going to have just the quick finish or it’s going to go to three rounds and this is a fun way here and look combat Global Valenzuela has a lot on his back he’s representing the company here tonight he’s representing his country he needs
That Victory he needs to win it here tonight and so far Japanese fighters tonight two and 0 you’re looking at the face of the man Victor Valenzuela who wants to put Latin America on the map get a victory for chile but anai behind him focused ready to go stay with us to
Combat when we come back welcome back to combat Global Jimmy Smith alongside rodao Roman dairo Matsui ikaho minowa what made those Fighters great wasn’t just the technique they had and things they did in the ring back in the pride days it was they never submitted to the odds they never let
Their opponent dictate whether or not they took a backwards step could that be be the key to victory for Shino anai tonight or could it play into the strengths of uh Victor Valenzuela what do you think it’s going to take a lot of Heart of course and and let’s take back
Look the age difference is there it’s a big gap between the two 37 years old forino he’s coming off some injuries why you look at me when you say age look right at me just do what I is Young to me Jimmy I know I agree with you I’m not that far
From you Jimmy trust me but look 2019 that was the last fight that he had he’s coming off from injuries and he kind of w already cuz he said look I never gave up on MMA and I’m here tonight so that’s going to be different right there well
He gets to show whether or not he’s ready tonight Omar get us started now I know what you mean Shino anai 37 years old it’s like dog years just so much that way let’s do it a lot of fights a lot of big stages fought in bellor fought in the UFC and
You talked about the injuries the setbacks this is kind of a Rejuvenation of his MMA career yeah it’s it’s it’s like starting your career all over again if you really take a look at it that way and yes the age is nothing but a number right he’s been been in there with
Several big names in the world of MMA has faced The Fearless of fears as they can and the experience is there right and that could be a huge difference when it comes to taking on this young man of vanuel he knows what it be in the scale
That it is in laala right the lights the whole TV the whole nine so this is nothing new for Chino anai now one thing it is new for him is fighting in the United States the first time he does so he’s very excited and how sweet would be
To get that Victory after coming back overcoming all those injuries and getting a win in a country that he’s never fed well his spirit is willing is his flesh ready we’ll find out his opponent is on his way Victor Valenzuela every time you watch Victor Valenzuela fight two things stand out to
Me he’s a big solid 170 pounder and he’s very patient he takes his time and does it right but powerful leg kicks good taked down it’s hard to find a glaring deficiency in this MMA game the dude is jacked look at this guy he’s chiseled strong and don’t be deceived cuz usually
When you see Fighters have a lot of muscle they gas out not this guy no this guy could go on for a very long time he look about last year he to he left Chile came to the United States and has been training with MMA Masters he’s know what
He is capable of doing he knows that he can make a difference in this world of MMA and represent his country of Chile and this is one country that I think a lot of people have been sleeping on because we’ve been seeing a lot of these fighters from this country they have had
Exceptional careers so far here in laala and all over MMA so Valenzuela is just one of those guys right here that has evolved trains with a great Camp the the Kobe cing trains here at MMA Masters and I can list a laundry list of great Fighters so this guy is destined for
Something and how sweet it would be to defeat a veteran like Chito an yeah to get that P on his wall but in order to do it has to overcome a proud Japanese warrior look at the age Gap 29 to 37 Victor Valen wha much younger than his opponent slight reach advantage that’s
About it most of this fight is not about the numbers Omar is going to get us started we are ready for this B set the three rounds of five minutes in the Walter Way division peso Walter the judges are viente Rodriguez John rert James Laro Introducing out of the blue corner he steps in with an official record of nine victories and foures he weighed in at 1 70.6 lb bendo the Negro wearing black the Tokyo H sh Animal now introducing out of the Red Corner he steps in with a professional record of nine victories and three losses he weighed in at 170b flat sanago Chile Victor [Applause] Valu judge rers bring it in bring it in we already went over the rules in the locker room if there’s any questions ask them now if not listen to me at all times protect yourself at all times do everything you can with in rules to win
Most importantly best of luck God bless touch cloves if you want go back to the corner wait for the belt Shide from Tokyo Japan in the black trunks Victor Valenzuela from Chile fighting out of Miami Florida in the red and white we are underway round number
One anai right here is going to come right at you that’s the type of fighter that he is straightforward type of Dude to come in but Valenzuela man just look at look at the the the difference there in muscle a big dude I don’t I hope it
Translates on camera but balance way all muscle that’s a part of his Arsenal I really like his very good leg kicks his shots come with a lot of power Jimmy so anai puts a lot of weight on that lead leg he likes to lean forward really vulnerable to those shots to the
Leg try to go there for the take down excellent patience yeah oh great stiff jab from an time great leg kick trying to feel it out valua trains with MMA Masters here in South Florida Kobe cumington L Palamino names that came out of that camp great trainers you got the down of our
Ver S carnado stand up great camps 15 years in MMA for Shinzo anai was a a fan of Peter erz from K1 the Dutch Lumberjack one of the best head kicks in all Sports all Combat Sports Peter ER was absolutely incredible Jinzo anai said that I I want to get into Combat Sports
Love that guy want that style with yino Kami for this fight yo kamami great fighter UFC veteran very big middleweight as well but what I’m seeing different here from anai is he’s taking his time different in his fighting style Valen we know how cerebral he can
Be he can wait for the right moment to really explode and attack very patient fighting he wait for the right moment neither one of these fighters in a rush yeah and as I said it this this this could go the distance both know the power that they
Have the opportunities that any of them could finish it attitude in MMA is you want to finish but be prepared for a long fight looks like both these Fighters are hanai now going to that aggressive style not really setting up the taked down just dropping and going for it
Valenzuela making him pay great Hook from from Valenzuela and we know that anai is a b he’s been in the world of MMA for some time but you know those butterflies are there Jimmy it’s 2019 says he last fought a lot of time off figure out how to mentally and
Physically get back into the sports from dealing with some serious injuries as well lead to a real change in styles that last fight was against Michael Paige where he got caught with a knee great overhead right he got caught with quite a few knees in that fight
Yeah he was setting it up and I think he learned his lesson inhuman speed for MVP good right hand from alua oh he gotli right there yeah has anai moving back has to be careful but he countered Jimmy with his own hook yep what I’m seeing from anai
Is as he comes in he throws into the shots he does leave himself exposed and valuel is picking up on that yeah taking advantage is Valenzuela see he throws it in he’s keep the hands down so the perfect timing and valella could finish this fight real early
Is trying to pay a game there trying to fake M the faint trying to go for the take down as the single leg I do here take a bow or just sweep him with that right leg hanging on cost you a lot of energy though right there that leg is there for
To trip him but but as well a good way of positioning his hip outwards and good take down defense from Valenzuela there’s somewhere that you would think that she would have the advantage it’s on top of the Jiu-Jitsu department so far that has not been a factor Valenzuela turning it up with the
Kickboxing yeah vuela picked it up here he left his body exposed and anai is in trouble Ruckers might come in and stop this fight Jimmy he step in right that’s a Japanese St of Father we got like Jimmy we talk about buo you know cut my head off I’m going to keep coming
Forward wow that was about to be stopped but no we will see around two can’t wa for the [Applause] replay got it take out up let’s go welcome back we have some very interested observers for this fight you saw camel McLaren El Hefe here at combat Global watching this amazing fight
Victor Valenzuela that right eye red swollen little bit of a cut underneath the eye his opponent Shino hanai from Tokyo Japan see him with the beard in the black trunks Jimmy did you get that I am a Don fry few those last few seconds I did get a little bit of that
From the old school fans Rock them sck robots and La Howa wait to see how the judges scored that one right now I would lead Victor Valenzuela the referee actually took a step forward yeah he nearly stopped it but wow anai got that right hand off at exactly the right
Time oh and that’s he’s been leaving himself exposed yeah and’s been leaving himself exposed there right at the body and Bal been picking up on that now we go to the CR Valenzuela might pick it up for K Jimmy yeah Valenzuela looking for the Finish vicious ground and pound and once again
Hanai moving it exactly the right time referee taking a close look who’s the one leaking Valenzuela no is Valenzuela leaking from looks like the nose he was already bleeding that shirt that shot from the beginning of the round just open it up a lot more now pouring on the punches is Victor
Valenzuela Shinzo anai from Japan hanging on with everything he’s got yeah vanua just caught him with a brutal shot to the liver that was the beginning of this whole sequence was that kick to the liver saw anai kind of buckle and he he connected in the first round as
Well has to be thinking what do I have to do to get this guy out of here almost finishing round one now the start of round two no surprise Victor Valenzuela up 109 all three judges scorecards that’s the samurai Spirit protect protect yourself that’s it a victory for Kat Jimmy Victor Valenzuela
Makes it one for Latin America from Chile lone victory tonight over Japan final score of 2 to one but Victor Valenzuela forget about national pride he has to be thrilled about a finish over a veteran like Shino anai look at it right here ground and pound action and just really in the beginning
Of the second round because it was that body shot that took him down he capitalized on it and just anai just could not recover from this position just laying Hammer fist Hammer fist nonstop yeah we talk about the spirit of Shino anai but speing can be willing the
Flesh has to back it up and Shino anai defended as best he could thought that was a good stoppage by the referee yeah absolutely he nearly he nearly stopped it in the first we’re lucky to have that second round of these two but boy and Victor Valenzuela from Chile a
Lot of Pride tonight Victorious over Shino onsite we’ll get the particulars when we return don’t go anywhere is Japan versus Latin America tonight Shino anai the lone defeat Victor Valenzuela gets the victory let’s make it official referee La at a minute 54 in the second round after an uncontested ground on pound the
Referee stops the fight knockout technico for the winner by TKO victoro Valen now 10 and three as a pro we like seeing development in laa he took a big step tonight mature performance a couple times he got the Finish he was going to get the Finish but didn’t use all of his energy mature performance from Valenzuela he recovered cuz anai
Connected some some hooks in there some stiff Jabs but that didn’t disappoint him ons soever he kept forward he kept with his mission of getting a victory against a veteran against Ani and it proves to him that this guy is just evolving as he goes just vicious ground
And pound action for dis position when he hit that body shot he knew that it was in the bag it was just a matter of just throwing everything until referee Josh Walker stepped in and stopped it and this fight easily could have been finished in the end of the first round
With just a few seconds left when they had that exchange of blows but Ruckers Let It Go just a bit and we had to wait till the second but a lot of Fighters get disheartened when they don’t get the Finish like that they kind of get down on themselves Victor Valenzuela stayed
True stayed professional able to get the win that shows mental maturity it shows that he has evolved as a fighter both mentally and physically and he looked phenomenal throughout the time look at the differences in the stats Jimmy H 16 punches to 40 through the kicks no take
Downs at this fight although shinso did a attempt for a couple but didn’t just go his way and that’s a telling stat no taked down for Shino anai where he would have had an advantage also great accuracy from Victor Valenzuela as he takes a huge step forward in his career
Tonight going to 10 and three in the 170 lb division incredible Performance ah your nose you must feel great after that victory yeah I’m very happy been working a lot in couple months I’m happy for happened today you had him in the first round but the Japanese Got Confidence but then I told him in a second doesn’t end
Here but look he has a a a lot of blood coming out from the nose who do you want to dedicate this fight to I want to my Grandma she’s uh she may be in the kitchen listening her watching this fight sorry I wasn’t there for Mom’s Day
Or her birthday but the victory is yours congratulations on representing your country did you ever think that you find a at risk no I I my conviction was very strong I told myself they hit me a lot in training look at this this is the trace of Victory blood
Inside the H of comat global Carlos Pedro to you oh happy Mother’s day but not being with Mom not being your grandmother being with your grandmother is part of the price you pay to be great Valenzuela great tonight we’ll be right back Welcome back inside Univision Studios there is David Martinez the 145 pound champion here at comat Global I don’t know maybe he saw Ramiro Jimenez win tonight maybe he had some interesting thoughts about that man ever since you told me that Jimmy I’ve been really ping making me think this is what they call
Uh Jimmy in Span Chief are we trying to get some Che here going to the r of the soup round of the the pot TR to cause conflict with I’m just saying we had a great performance by an upand cominging 145 pounder the champion is here but
That’s what you do as champ you keep an eye on the upand cominging talent what are they doing what do I need to improve because when you stop improving you’re finished when you have gold around your waist I’m sure Martinez was just how aside he was he’s been commentating now
On the Spanish desk and listen right now he’s going to take anos sarus a man who’s had over 20 fights in MMA but him menz just like aelo his his previous opponent has been exceptional inside laala he’s been Unstoppable and this guy is a credible opponent for Martinez we
Saw his style of fighting it matches pretty well and could be conflicted for Martinez he has good timing and he’s if he’s able to stop Martinez with those kicks might have a new chance look but remember David Martinez is going to be fighting May 28th yes he that on his
Mind if you haven’t seen seen Martinez check it out wow just look at it right here exceptional fast and you know he’s only lost once it wasl decision lost he’s quick he’s fast the hype is real he’s taking on opponents literally on days notice and finishes them off
Right in the first round he’s an Unstoppable Force inside laala and he keeps evolving evolving and I’ll tell you why Exel he had great ground game he couldn’t take this down he just couldn’t take him down and what stands out again is that standup game with the kicks I
Said it earlier before before they put on a diaper this guy this guy was learning how to kick always when you talk about a particular weight class in this case of course 145 lbs you always look for that one thing that sets them apart when you
Say oh I’m fast I have good standup a lot of Fighters at 145 are fast and have good stand up that doesn’t NE necessarily separate you from the pack when I look at David Martinez’s fights what separates him him from the pack is exactly that that counter right hand
He’s so good at timing exactly when his opponent is coming in and meeting them with the big shot is that the key to Victory May 28th for you absolutely and he has a strong chin so he’s able to take a shot look at that just taking on
A veteran and putting him off real quickly in that tournament that he had a had the chance to get this belt around his waist I’m excited May 28th against sarus and sarus from Peru I mean this guy is vicious he knows what he’s up against he’s had over 20 fights inside
Laala and in other of course cages so this is a good chance for him he’s hungry just as Martinez but Martinez has to defend his territory and his title now of course a fighter from Peru if an old school fan remember the uh Antonio desuza the Peruvian Savage it’s all
About national pride it’s about protecting your Turf tonight there was an invasion from Japan they go up 2-1 they can go home tonight feeling good about the Land of the Rising Sun Well if if you really get to let’s count clar Lopez’s victory in Japan so it’s
Technically 22 Jimmy let let me correct you on that man I’ll I’ll call it tutu of course that victory was in Rising of course her uh representing laala when she went over to Japan so all right we’ll say tutu but an amazing night of fights incredible technique incredible
Aggression and no one Ste back that’s what makes laala exceptional that continued tonight and we want to thank everybody that got into laala and put on a great show for the fans because Japan they came to fight tonight they did not fight intimidated here in South Florida
And I guess we just got a little sample little taste of the end of the year when kopa combatti comes in again we’ve had many countries Europe uh uh of course United North America South America when we have Asia for the first time in Kat
BL I think we’re going have to talk I’m sure Campbell’s keeping a close eye on that may happen this year now shihiro saada earlier tonight against Anna palasio great performance outstanding work went to decision palasio late Visa had some trouble getting here do you think she gets another shot and you
Think it might work out differently of course we talked about how important all those stress factors come into play when it comes to a fight yes she made weight we don’t know what she was doing in that plane she maybe had to cut weight we as
Soon as she got here we don’t know if she was running if she was in the sauna all those things all those things play a role right before the fight and maybe and we can’t use that at an excuse you talk to her she might tell you that that
Wasn’t an excuse I should have done better but hey you live to see another day it wasn’t her first defeat she’s been defeated before I’m sure she’ll bounce back up well we appreciate all the fighters it was Japan versus Latin America and tonight to your point
Tonight it was 2 to one in favor of the Rising Sun but a great performance from Victor Valenzuela over Shino anai with the stoppage in round number two to make sure there wasn’t a blank tonight for Latin America Ramiro Jimenez with the TKO in round number one and shiiro saada
Over Anna palasio for everyone involved here backstage at kbat gobl a big thank you and we’ll see you all next time

Sad to say but the only way those judges had the Japanese fighter tied is because he's a Japanese fighter. It was clearly 2 rounds to none, going into the third.
