I live every day just like a champion so this going to be another day in the park opportunity has dropped down the freaking your can you believe it Derek Le did I’m going to prove and get my respect that I deserve from everybody in Houston and everybody watching when I want a TI it felt like really great it was going to feel just like I just wanted again cuz I’m still the underdog one once again and I’m still have the same feeling after I leave the cage the right hand of his the patino’s done it again who can stop George patino Saturday one day after I’m not more Champion I have to train again Focus again to win again then I will be Champion I’ve been training two months for this got a lot of work a lot of dedication I’m ready to prove myself they say everything’s bigger in Texas and tonight is no exception as Legacy Fighting Championship presents its biggest fight C to date with two championship matches from inside the Houston Arena Theater where we will have a sellout crowd for the first time ever in Legacy history there is not even any standing room here tonight hello everybody I’m Michael shavel fantastic to be back here in Houston as always joined by my verbal sparring partner former UFC champion and super coach Pat Milotic Pat we turn our attention to the main event the heavyweight championship on the line the defending Champion Derek Lewis A Cinderella Story of 2012 a man who once beat The Living Daylights out of a k Klux Clan member who was hunting him down in his neighborhood tonight he wants to beat the Daylights out of big Ricky shivers yes he does and Derrick Lewis is really not the guy I’d go hunting for to be honest Derek Lewis has those massive M hooks the question mark over shiv is is how can he handle the big right hand of Derrick Lewis well he needs to move his head certainly because I don’t think there’s a lot of people out there that can handle the hand of Derrick Lewis huge hands he has and he’s got a lot of heart and a lot of endurance he survived the fight with rushel rushel put him on his back a lot during that fight showed the heart battled through it got back to his feet and put Rush Hold away and knocked him out Pat Derrick Lewis usually a very quiet guy doesn’t say too much but yesterday an interesting status popped up on Derrick Lewis’s Facebook at around 8:30 p.m. he said I don’t usually dislike my opponents but I can’t wait to beat the hell out of this cocky o I don’t think I’d want Derrick Lewis saying that about me I know that we know the game plan that Shivers has told us is he wants to go hard and fast look to try and gas out Lewis early and then put him on his back is that the big black cloud hanging over Derrik Lewis here tonight how he can get off the ground if big Shivers puts him on his back right and I think Shivers obviously has the reach he is taller so in the standup Department if he keeps his distance he should be okay and gets out of the way of that right hand of Lewis but he he’s probably going to look for the takedown Shivers is put Lewis on the ground if Lewis can survive that and get back up uh I’m hoping that Lewis can make him carry his weight a little bit also while they’re on their feet and uh then we’ll see a little bit of a standup War also ooh either way it is going to be epic for the main event in our co-main event another one that should be an absolute Ripper defending champion at 155 the always hyper George maago patino takes on Derek crant crant gives away a lot of experience 14 and six versus 28131 and one of patino Pat if you’re playing Super coach first of all you’re in the corner of Derek CR how do you tell him to beat patino here well I think he’s got the quickness he’s got the uh the youth at 20 fights experience he has enough experience to deal with the guy with 40 some fights in patino but use his speed land some heavy shots faint and fakes get patino off balance get a Tak down and if he can end up on top he’ll be all right with his ground and pound patino has told us he’s going to show us some tricks that nobody has ever seen before here tonight once again Pat you playing Super coach in the corner of patino how does he defeat kcks patino’s got to push the pace we know he’s in shape he maybe it’s half crazy and half lungs but he always comes in shape he always pushes the pace and I think also for him he needs to end up on top because George patino on top can cause people problems okay folks let’s take you through the rest of this stacked and historic fight card here at Legacy Fighting Championships we kick

and just watching Lauren Taylor in a corner prowling back and forth like a lioness just ready to sink her teeth into Jennifer Scott here she comes in as a favorite does Lauren torus 185 they come back on Scott at plus 145 look for the handiwork here of Jennifer Scott look for Taylor to put her on her back and try and pound away not only the boxing but if she clinches up look for the right elbow of Jennifer Scott she has a biohazard tattoo on that right Elber she landed a nice right hand a couple times so far already and Taylor’s not liking it the old Jam to Kangaroo to open up proceedings here for Jennifer Scott the basic combination in boxing working a treat so far keeping Lauren Taylor at the end of her Jack glancing right hand there from Jennifer Scott controlling Center cage is Scott looking to change levels is Taylor wants to find a way inside to put hands on Scott get her to the ground Lan kick from Scott Scott doing a good job with the lateral motion she doesn’t move straight back she scoots off to the side that’s nice right hand lead on that occasion from Scott finishes with a jab using that lead hand well here lots of motion lots of lateral footwork always keeping Lauren Taylor guessing Taylor just can’t figure out those hands at the moment there’s a stinging right hand from Lauren Taylor Scott looks to go to the body front kick from Taylor good right hand between the eyes there from Jennifer Scott wild overhand ride went for the cranium cracka you can see a lot of Scots punches are coming up short she’s not bringing her feet with her it’s something that you yell at people a lot about out to get them to bring their feet forward when they’re punching so that they get deeper and deeper and finally land eats a right hand of Taylor and backs her up now drift back to Center cage is Jennifer Scott eats another jab from Lauren Taylor Taylor starting to find her range now with the hat yeah and Taylor’s moving her head when she’s punching she’s getting out of the way of that jab a lot more now right hand lead from Jennifer Scott there’s a lot of her football league teammates in the audience here tonight Bon sh Lauren Taylor smiling at it that’s got to be disheartening when you hit an opponent with all your might and they smile right back at you 2 minutes 20 remaining in a very active entertaining first round counter right hand off the leg kick there from Lauren Taylor right hand lead again from Scott and another right hand lead Jam two chance for a Tak down first chance and she executes it well Lauren Tyler now has Jennifer Scott on her back goes inside of half guard perfect ground and pound position this is where Taylor wants to be back already moving into the Armed triangle possibly or getting that arm blocked out at least to punish the ribs but she did a great job changing levels on that got Scott convinced that she was going to stand up with her the whole time change levels got to take down and it was an easy take down four TKO in four fights they’ve come from grounding pound there’s the hammerfist strikes to the ear looks like she’s about to fully Mount Jennifer Scott here look how Jennifer Scott’s not moving her hips not using her legs not aware of what’s really happening down below uh which is not a good thing thumping away to the side of the head this could be over soon there’s the full mouth for Lauren Taylor boom with the elbows hacking away at a helpless Jennifer Scott Scott’s got to pull her down got to control the posture look at Lauren Taylor Just hacking away at Jennifer Scott she’s cut up I think Michael blood everywhere flattens her out surely this one’s over now referee mov in good Night Irene Lauren Taylor’s done it again she is five and and truly an Unstoppable Force nice job she stood up with her long enough like I said get her convinced hey it’s going to be a boxing match and got the Tak Down Easy and went to work right away Scott was just not able to deal with the positions on the ground that was apparent that she’s not as well burst as Lauren Taylor is down there on the [Music] ground round there she is levels nicely getting the take down and driving through it’s really important to finish her take down she did a good job of that got into to half guard eventually here p and just as we’re looking at these replays want to say that Jennifer Scott is still laid out here on the canvas as the doctors look over her yeah I think she’s okay they’re just checking out the cuts probably got some pretty good lacerations on her face [Applause] St that was brutal nasty ground and bound from Lauren Taylor we told you it was always going to be her biggest strength as how she’d won four fights on the Trot it’s how she’s won five in a row now she says nobody works harder than me she only had a 3 week training camp in preparation for this one but my word what a powerful lady they are tending to the cut here on Jennifer Scott try and stem some of the bleeding courtesy of those razor sharp elbows and look at Jennifer Scott she looks like a a horror film it’s a bad well Scott was the one that said she was going to drop the elbows and as you pointed out has the uh the tattoo on her elbow to deliver him and she was the one that chewed on the elbow tonight now there wasn’t a chainsaw involved but it was a Texas elbow massacre here in the cage courtesy of that woman Lauren Taylor that was a good one I have my moments I can line her up if be want like she is going places folks keep an eye on it got to admit we weren’t very familiar with her before tonight we’re all familiar with her after tonight and we are going to get the close on on her proceedings up to you Colin canol make it all official ladies and gentlemen big round of applause our fighter Jennifer Scott she is unable to

favorite Charlie onos at minus 160 The Comeback on Todd Moore at plus 120 Michael shello Pat mtic with you a sellout crowd here in Houston Texas for Legacy Fighting Championship number 18 and more bounds out of his Corner look out for the kicks here on onos those long legs of the Taekwondo fourth degree black belt along with the Southpaw stance of more that rear leg roundhouse kick could uh prove deadly coming from aneros onto veros will switch starts he is preferred in Orthodox but like Taw fighter switches up quite often does confound his opponents inside L kick early on here from onos you wonder if onos knowing that he gives up such tremendous experience won’t play it a lot safer here than he does usually in his fights where he goes all out BS to the wall from the opening B yeah I think he’s going to be a little more careful about getting taken down in this fight by more because he knows more is pretty dangerous on the ground great ground and great submissions the rangefinder with that lead hand onto veros get a very strange guard about him where he sticks his chin right out the hands are very low he relies an anticipation reflexes to evade the strikes coming in you got to wonder if that will change also if he continues to increase in competition level single leg here from more this is where he wants onos on the ground onos glances towards his Corner his father in his corner cor and nods that he’s okay and he gives up a little smile on a wing P yeah and popped his hips right up and got got into good position there Ono po back onto his feet looking for that little right hand on the popup solid First Mid and a half or so of this contest look how wide the legs are now of onos know aneros is looking for those counter strikes a lot got to use a lot of faints and fakes against those guys so they’re countering stuff that’s not actually common the jab off southp stance goes back to Orthodox now does onto veros there’s a high right round kick and he switches to southp again does onos MO was very confident that he had the tools in the Arsenal and the game plan to defeat onto veros to hand onto veros his first ever Pro loss and onto just sprawling out we’ll see if more can keep him on the ground this time he’s got that leg pinned nice job pulling his hips [Applause] away the elbows now starting to come from Mo there that technique he’s using right now is to break the ribs actually Sam hoger who I talked about last week by the way was great at that he would literally crush your ribs Sam’s a great submission Grappler and uh has a school actually here in Texas great coach good on you Sam know you’re watching Access TV live tonight the tawan Doan gets back to his feet onto veros can he get some of those kicks off now he does indeed that Long Reach side kick reach in the face pretty easy you got to be careful Taekwondo sign kick known as a yep Chi you speak Korean Japanese AI How We Roll here on Access TV pack outside L kick from four 1 minute 35 remains first round of three an intriguing contest here between the veteran and one of the brightest upand comers Ono still switching STS flicks at a front Kip it’s an up chuggy in Taekwondo there a beer drinking game it’s quite a few mixed martial artists who come from Taekwondo backgrounds of course the likes of Benson Henderson Dan Hardy BOS ruton roxan moery Anthony Pettis all had some training at one stage or another in Taekwondo the Korean martial arts more doing a good job see him turning the corner there trapping that leg you got to get an angle on that single good job finish what does more do from here Pat well get his head in the center of the turn him and drive uh drive anas down to the mat anas was looking for that underhook to turn him but uh more experience felt it coming you know as a shorter guy being in a long guy guard it’s it can be a real pain in the butt so Moore’s got to get past get to half guard get to cross sides and then the long guy is at a disadvantage once you get to those positions final seconds of this opening round more now getting loose with that left hand but just not enough musard behind it onos has defended well on the defeated Charlie onos and Todd Moore if you’re watching live on Access TV hope you’re enjoying all the action of Legacy 18 from Houston Texas let’s see if Andre baros can really pull the trigger on his kicks here a side kick to the knee might as well go for the one with the pad on it and again from on veros looking for that lead KN that was the subject of surgery last July for Todd Moore on veros doing him no favors here nice high right roundhouse no switch up on it shoots in for a double do Mo onto veros defending and defends well throws it the midsection ground Ki to the rib cage onos calling Mo forward and mor it’s a jab onos right hook followed by a left a scooping bolo punch off the right now onto veros on the front foot Mo’s got to slow this pace down now he’s got to lock him up he cannot let him strike freely like this and get himself in trouble onos is carrying his hands low however he’s got to be careful because Mo does have counters and now Mo takes the back aneros got way overextended on that elbow missed big and Moore took his back the pendulum has swung once again here now in favor of Todd Moore you know Moore had to work a lot harder to get that takedown because he missed the first one oh more in the mount position here comes the ground and pound and he takes the back yet again of Vos more looking for a submission the full Mount drives these Knuckles down and more showing his experience by not going for the submission and Landing a beaten down on him right now just to wear him out make him look for the door Ona taking punishment he’s got nowhere to go can mo finish him the elbows now to Mo he’s giving him a slacking here in the second round Todd Moore making a statement on Charlie os’s face veros knowwhere to go meet me somewhere one thing more wanted to do was get on top and land those elbows he did it perfectly it took him a while to get there but he worked hard for that he missed the taked down earlier in the round didn’t get his hands locked in time to get the Tak down and finish it got back up and got into a slug Fest for a little bit with anos and then finally ducked underneath that elbow got that taked down took his back and went to [Applause] work here it is he got around went underneath that elbow see spin the angle smart anav vero’s not changing the angle with him to keep him in front of him once more got to the m he knew he had to get to work and finish him landed a lot of punches and elbows from that position and put this kid away there you go with a kid three and0 very talented but you cannot replace experience in this sport Michael he said that was how he was going to do it pat he said as soon as onto veros is on the ground he’s in trouble I’m going to pound him out and that’s exactly what Mo did yes he did nous say showing a lot of experience difference in this fight Tal to athletic kid but as you said in the walkouts part if you were putting on your manager’s hat you wouldn’t have let onos take this contest they’re the ones that wanted this contest not Todd Moore Moore just accepted The Challenge from the three and0 fighter well and that’s uh maybe shows a little inexperience in the management department not talking bad about them but it’s just something you don’t do to your kid when he’s got a lot of talent and ability you bring it along with people around his experience level and slowly step up the competition this sellout crowd here at Houston going absolutely bananas the Texan flag proudly draped over the shoulders here of Todd Moore he’s a proud Tex and he says my initials are TM I like to tell people that they stand for Texas made Todd Moore he from right here in Houston and we’ll throw it up now to Colin canr to enter it into the history B ladies ladies and gentlemen ladies ladies and

sampo here at Legacy over Fano Fernandez needs to get back in the winner circle in a big way and an impressive way toight Ben well because his last fight was a cure for insomnia the tail of the T for this undefeated defus takes on 29 Ben wellis Ben wellis four years the Elder 3 in the sh has a 1.2 lb weight Advantage gives up the Reach In The Arms gives up the reach in the [Music] legs if they come off during the fight I had to [Music] is always a pleasure to see Ben wellos and his trademark handle so he can enable the right hand which is Public Enemy Number One of the Southpaw fighter Afra to threw that left hand and didn’t get out of the way quickly he’s lucky he didn’t get cracked by those uh punches that came back the other way from Ben wellow Ben wellis is going to shoot in off def freus the way to do it fighting a southp is to shoot in off the Jab make sure you counter that left hand and continually move to your left which means it makes your opponent have to reach with their power hand with their left hand the FR just told us look out for my striking tonight hasn’t had a chance to go to ground yet when the fres was in the South ball stance he was all defensive now he goes conventional you can tell he’s he’s locked in a little more offensively we hope at some stage that Ben Wallis does pull the trigger gets on the inside and lands some power Salos to [Music] defus a lot of movement here in the opening round as defus switches back to southp stance overhand right looking for a counter off the front kick there Bellis front kick from the freus then let go to figure out how to cover that Gap when the punches come his way or the kick he’s got to got to cover the Gap and get in B wellis trying to force him to the outside here looks to get on the inside but to no avail and Def FR just moved back to Center cage slams an outside thigh kick nice work there from defus Ben wellos needs to get on the inside get in that lead left hand just tries to pop the right over the top and some good head work gets defus out of trouble defus has been using that left hand a meter a lot reaching out with it nice little technique that uh you can use is throw a left hook right on their elbow joint and knock that arm out of the way and then follow with the cross whipping High left Round kick there from defus who began his martial arts career in Capa at age five and he native [Applause] Brazilia beautiful martial arts form shoots in sprawls out nicely does benos inside the guard here of defus yeah defus p Guard now I wonder if to fris can try and set up his parata Plata looks like he may indeed be going for that his version of the omop platter om platter of course being the shoulder lock Ben will has got to keep that head in the center stay busy gentlemen under one minute remains here in the first round there was plenty of movement while they was standing up but not a lot of effective striking really Landing right benos didn’t choose to be here uh defraa shot the take down and once that failed he pulled guard uh bis definitely doesn’t want to be here with him you can tell he’s slowing it down get the ref stand him up and the referee does just that a chance for Bellis to steal some points here in the closing half a minute of this opening round no no no yeah high ride round follow up back hit there from benis oh he drops defus on his head and defus kicks benis when he’s down referee straight on top of it and Def frus is just lied about that he’s angry at himself he realizes he made a mistake there’s the kick luckily it didn’t land Ben Willis’s experience showed by blocking that let me know you can continue There It Is they’re both scrambling def fre is obviously frustrated by his it was chaos made a mistake I called time was illegal strike to the head but ban wellis right before that dumped him on his head it was a nice little throw I’m surprised the fry came up uncap from that referee is Consulting with the commission here ringside okay hang on for me will there be a point deduction here from the frers yes there will be one point one point one point even if you had the ahe 109 in the round it now has to be a 99 score all right guys here we go short time SC short time inside leg fromus one down so once again if it wasn’t for the point deduction it would have been def Fran’s round and wellis really needs to pull the trigger P he’s so frustrating to watch in his last well especially his last fight because he moves a lot but doesn’t really throw anything that lands moving with a purpose is the reason you move you never move without a purpose so uh his Corner did a good job though of telling him you’ve got to move your head on the way in that’s how you get past that reach and land those shots and while you’re moving on the way in you’re hoping the longer reach guy throws a punch and misses so that you are inside and he’s open once again you see the movement here from benos but we’re 30 seconds down in this round he hasn’t landed anything here yeah that arm reaching out like that the way you get a guy to put his arm back in as you start moving your head and you start with quick feet moving forward like that see how the hands came back in that’s how you do it you got to run him all the way to the cage and keep throwing front kick and a flicking left hand there from defus as we park our Peepers in the red corner of Antonio benwell then wellis looking to get on the inside again all he has really landed though in this round so far is that inside leg kick that said though defres is not doing too much himself this round it’s certainly not making for an entertaining contest after we’ve had three Barn burners so far tonight we were due here’s the corner of to frus the frer city wanted to show off his handiwork here tonight just nothing happening here in the second round a lot of posturing a lot of posing a lot of movement but how many strikes have actually landed not very many one inside fire kick from Ben wellis and maybe one front kick from the frighter they’re both wanting to counter each other other and that’s why there’s nothing happening there’s another kick to the midsection from the frus and you figure the fact that the frus has landed two and vanis has landed just one kick have the frus ahead frus is undefeated 5 and0 looks for the knee the ideal was right there you go just didn’t step in on his punches expected the freus to still be standing there to frus tags Ben wellis nicely with the legs skip up front kick Ben wellis going for a take down they stay on their feet now we’re seeing a little more action thankfully trying to jump to a submission there def yeah he tried to uh stuff that wrist and go to that triangle right away momentarily stumbled on that Hooter logo Pat milit stumbles when he goes to Hooter but for a completely different reason looping right hand there that being the lead hand of defus you feel that the hot dog sails here at the Houston Arena Theater have Pete during this fight I think partially B wellis might be worried about that taked down from defus it’s kind of making him clam up with his striking fakes there from defus high left Round kick from Ben wellos caught on the forearms one thing Ben wellis is doing he’ll throw his combos or technique and then he moves backward instead of stepping forward and replacing deus’s position and keep coming forward like that to force the action that is a very good point Pat I think you hit the Nile on the head there super coach he’s got to establish a bit of position after he strikes here benis trus looking to back him up with that left Round kick let’s go guys let fight there’s some booze coming from a section of the crowd oh he gets tagged the frus caught him with the right hand and lucky onto that ankle the frus being smart trapping that arm right there finally we see some [Applause] [Music] action still H oh he had it right on the Bell as def franus was looking to se the submission second one land so it’s good okay well the end of the round heated up although the first part of it was pretty slow he gets that figure four on the leg or the arm initially and then looks to sink that rear choke doing a good job sneaking around showing uh world class skills on the ground and well diving trying to knock him off of his back or knock the wind out of least but right at the Bell that was last was locking that choke up all right guys second out let’s go fantastic crowd here a sellout in Houston as the fris goes ahead Qui the second round 10 ner on Pat Mill’s scorecard third and final third round guys franches is complaining there may be some moisture on the canvas here it is time for Ben Wells to put the foot down and really come out hard and try to get some points on the scoreboard here all right guys I tell you we’re ready but ready round three let’s go came in the favorite 29 fights to Def Fran’s five fights but it’s trus who has been the more effective so far punt kick there inside leg HCK from Bellis and once again is p noted he backs up he strikes and backs up it’s terribly frustrating yeah it’s like a mentality of you’re happy to get him away from you for a second and then you back up it’s you got to have the mentality of throwing the strikes moving forward and keep stalking them counter off the inside leg K from benos once again look how much movement there is here from Antonio benos but just not a lot of action you talking to me take down inside the guard here of Def freus little bit of the pit training there with that takedown nice work if you’re talking to Colin tell me again you talking to me Richie franus very comfortable here Bellis has going to find a way to posture up and work some ground and pound try and do some damage to barata Elbow strikes to the back of the shoulder a corner of defus calling for some elbows stay active guys I’m going to stand you up stay busy I’m going to stand you up and you could hear a tumble weed blow through the Houston Arena the here at the moment great time the referee gives a much needed slap and a tickle and we’ll restart them from a standing position yeah it wasn’t much to uh commentate on there [Music] and well counter right hand was a nice one he weaved underneath the left hook from defus get in there come on don’t be scared scar I think we need another one of those red bulls please this one just hasn’t produced the goods B still looking to counter to be a counter fighter you have to be offensive you see again there how he backs up he comes forward with the combination and immediately goes on the back foot right right but to to be a counter fighter you have to be offensive the whole reason you punch is to get your opponent to punch back so that you can move and get out of the way and open himself up and benis caught him there once again ran away from exactly you see once more got on the inside then skipped out I don’t know whether Benes thinks he’s putting points points down by doing that but he’s not packed well he’s got the power standing up he hits hard but uh just something about what he’s seen in Def freus is making him not uh not not keep moving forward that said though def frus is not doing anything either front keeper misses the target there’s no combinations coming from defus and I thought we’d see a lot more out of defus this round after the end of the last round once again Ben wellis just gets the knuckles grazing the chin and he backs up you see again throws the aov and left he’s on the back foot it’s confusing take down here from Bellis now let’s see what Antonio Bellis can do this is the corner of ha Al de frus can Ben wellis posture up here can he work some ground and pound can he get those elbows loose B wellos could actually win this round because of the two takedowns he’s had or because defus didn’t do a whole lot either and that’s a very sad commentary on this fight if it does come down to that that you are searching for scraps amongst a whole ocean of inactivity here I was hoping you weren’t saying mine sad comment you have a open guard this has just been a real snoozer well most likely the freers will maintain his undefeated record neither man will win over any fans here and the Houston Arena Theater lets out a collective sigh of relief that this one is result up to you Colin ladies and gentlemen after three rounds of fighting we go to the judge’s scorecard judge Chance Williams scores the fight 2927 benos judge Joshua Ferraro scores the fight 2928 de fras and judge Robert Alexander scores the fight 28 to 28 we have a split draw well the decision was as boring as the fight a draw here between Ben Wallis and defus and you know what probably thoroughly deserve because I don’t believe either of them actually deserve to get a win from that contest it’s time to park out peepers backstage once again here at the Houston Arena Theater and there he is the heavyweight champion the Cinderella story of 2012 the man who once beat the beas out of a clutch member who is hping him in his neighborhood Derek Lewis the black beast goes up against 6’5 230 lbs of Ricky Shivers that’s our main event

strong on the ground he hits very off from the top if he can do that he can get patino in trouble and hopefully wear the older fighter out DK Crown says he has visualized time and time again beating

Challenger yeah I don’t know if that was a wise decision to go for a takedown and then instead of just bailing on the takedown he pulled guard and ate some really heavy shots from CR down there working to the half guard looking for a sweep CR got that tight whizard shutting him down so he can’t come around his body back to their feet here popping knee Muay Tha clinch from patino and then

drick Lewis that can be his undoing got to know how to move on the ground in this sport Lewis is going to do his best just to control the posturing here not allow Shivers to posture up and hope the referee will give M stand up trying to muscle his way out he gives his back in the process Lewis but now the big man the champion back on his feet look at a man handle sh throws a knee there’s the uppercut and CH has got caught Lewis with a high left Round kick the chff on the front foot throwing bombs single leg and D Lewis with a Tak down lost position because his head was on the outside on a single leg if you’re going to do that you got to do it differently than he did head generally on the inside on a single leg he says he’s been working his ground game throughout his training camp look how strong Jerick Lewis is he’s smart here he’s got the wrist control he brought the arm across he’s got to get it back over there and use his head to pry down on that joint to peel Ricky Shivers off his back Lewis is going to get up onto one knee with 230 lb Shivers on his back look at how big his hands are wrapped around his arm that’s ridiculous Shivers wants to choke him it won’t be there so long as Lewis holds on to that right wrist yeah it’s very tough for somebody to choke you with one arm Lewis is holding on to that WR of the moment with three fingers peeling that leg out nice Willis defending look out Jackson sh pulling the head down he does not want the jamp to rain down those thunderous meat hooks [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yeah definitely has a chance to take advantage of his size and wear Shivers out in this position got to get his head back in the center stay busy in the guard close guard for Ricky Shivers opens it up now nice job pushing the leg down to come around single leg from Shivers amethist strikes from Lewis back to their feet Shivers wants the take down he wants to put the champ on his back again oh big clubbing right hand from Derek Lewis Shivers still trying to go after the takeown still working at the legs Double leg here from shivas size and strength is the only thing that’s keeping him up on this an athletic ability because he did a lot of things wrong but he’s got such strong hips and legs he was able to get back up and Lewis crushes down onto his back W sh is going to go from here back well he’s shouldn’t be going for that submission there cuz he’s losing position while he’s doing it Le looking for a sub leis looking for a submission he has a CA from being M this be crazy can the champ sub how strong do you have to be to do this can the champ sub him you know as a guy on top you’re freaking out right now because you’ve got cross sides you had Mount and you’re getting submitted from there and Derek Lewis be no he lets go of it here comes the ground and pound from the champion should have kept it locks on behind the knee now switches to a double leg Shivers exciting stuff here in the first round 45 seconds still to go Derek Lewis is bringing some new tools some new tricks into his Arsenal here tonight Shivers spent a lot of this round underneath Lewis going for those takedowns wear him out Lewis take down trips him gets it goes to side control here come the right [Applause] [Music] hands Shivers now knows just how strong dererk Lewis is [Applause] so not allowing Lewis to posture up here what a first round [Applause] [Music] Derrick Lewis was in trouble going for that key lock and getting mounted at the same time trust me usually a person can just muscle right out of this because their legs are up over your hips they’ve got a mounted position they’re able to weas a lot of it but because Derrick lues are his hands are so gigantic and he’s so strong look at how far bringing that hand up to the back of sh’s head shers gets to cross eyes to try and get out of it and ends up getting rolled through by Derrick Lewis Derrick lewi like go but I think would have been well served to keep it but tell you what man this guy is strong was a bad spot but it wasn’t a t I would have stopped it go second out guys let’s go guys second out out [Music] out out out 10 nine to the champ says P Milotic off to one okay Round Two Gentlemen let’s go second set for five we don’t think it will go that far Lewis leads out with that right Champs blowing a little heavy though here in the second Shivers thought this would happen if he could draw him to Deep Water this is where Lewis will line up the one shots just try for the big headache maker surpris derck L was looking for a break down in G just forces Shivers onto his back Shivers puts him inside his guard and closes [Music] it can he posture up here Lewis let’s do it without exposing his arm turn the legs up looking for a sub and shivers gives his back to the big mat

posture up [Applause] here takes the back 1 minute 20 remains Shivers will want to find a way to work a choke here yeah I mean he’d be well served just to start punching and scoring points here because he’s down in this round losing position again closes the guard anything to control the posture here throws the legs up nice and high but no arm left in Derk Lewis a chance to get back to his feet but immediately Shivers on him and goes to side control and easily mounts the champ again yeah that’s in inexcusable positions uh that are being attained so easily uh Derrick Lewis shouldn’t

in maybe we can get a shot here of Shivers laid out on the canvas here’s in a bad way a very bad way he took an absolute beating a hiding from Derek Lewis once he got that top position dominant mounted position paid off for him he hits so ungodly hard plowing right through the guard of Ricky Shivers moving his whole torso when he hit him that is some sick scary power I don’t ever want that guy on top of me hit me finally it seems that Shivers is back on his feet and sitting on a stool but my word did he take punishment the cruelest form of punishment from a 260b behemoth named Derrik Lewis the Cinderella story of 2012 he one Le Championship when he knocked out Jared Roz thunderously knocked him out for the title while his grandfather is hero the man that had raised him was on his death B his grandfather passed away a week later but not before Derek got to visit him in the hospital got to show him the belt his eyes have been closed the week grandfather but when you whispered in his ear grandpa I won the championship suddenly the old man’s eyes opened sadly passed away Derek Lewis who went to prison for three years for beating up a member of the K Clan who was hunting him down in his neighborhood Derk Lewis who after getting out of prison turned his life around through mix martial arts ready Derk Lewis who showed a lot more weapons here tonight a lot more in his ground game and particularly that vicious Kamura he tried to apply early on what a champion what a champion [Applause] [Music] way in a bad State ladies up to you call ladies and gentlemen ladies and

wait is Lauren Taylor, Lauren Nurphy?
Black beast 🇺🇸
usa up in this ho.
The fight should've been interrupted for the tape hanging off of Lewis's glove.
But, Shivers didn't have the fight IQ to get the job done, anyway.
Announcer blows
Derrick Lewis my favorite fighter
Great job sticking that draw right up their ass! Neither of those fighters deserved a win.
