longer lightweight title on the line Taco gulo round one underway hulo charging forward with that lead left hand Taco backs away nice leg kick for taco Padilla looking for the take down here is uh is Taco Padilla and who could blame him because gulo has been scoring some serious walk-off Knockouts as of late both kulo and taco tradeing knees here Up Against the Cage making each other pay the price early in this one yeah Padia utilizing his height here to Push manassian Up Against the Cage Landing some nasty knees to the inner thigh and with the devastating four consecutive knockout first round knockout run that t that gulo has gone on I wouldn't blame Padia for trying to get this thing on the canvas where Padilla does have three submission wins yeah and you know I called for that in the keys to Victory I I thought that if he had a chance to to dominate it would be on the ground two impressive Warriors of the world going at it we saw the flags for gul's entrance you can see the trunks there of Taco Padia representing Mexico of course gulo manasian and we talked about this also about Padilla getting off to a fast start here and that's exactly what he's doing he's bringing the fight to gulo gul's been answering with knes of his own and now stomp foot stomp attempts here by Taco Padilla I guess when the title's on the line you got to pull out all the Stomps circling off the cage now is [Applause] gulo both guys struggling to jockey for position here and are you surprised it right now with the shoulder strikes that Padilla is over overpowering gulo it's not a surprise he's a very well-rounded mixed martial artist I'd like to see gulo Pummel here and get an underhook so he could Circle off the cage he's utilizing that wizard on the right side do have to talk about the age dep discrepancy as well 27 years of age for taco 34 years of age for Padia so Taco might try and really test the gas tank of gulo manasian manasian staying Tom cool and collected here maintaining composure he's got Taco all over him Taco style as he says it's a little bit of everything some lettuce some salsa some meat in there we've seen knees we've seen foot stops we've seen shoulder strikes Taco is bringing a little bit of everything thus far in his attack yeah but let's not let's not fail to mention he's investing heavy here in this early attack you're not kidding and if it does not pay dividends it could wear on his gas tank and now GR tries to strike his way off of the cage but gulo it's been a tough battle to get any kind of distance here and get it away from Taco where gulo can start to go to work with his best weapons yeah Taco Padilla just really stringing together the moments here now looking for the taked down and he scores with it that was a decisive take down as well just the and now really making gulo pay here these short elbows grinding the forearm this thing goes to the ground and it has been an impressive start for Christopher Taco Padia as we're coming up on a minute to go in the first round's got to get his back to the cage to wall walk or create a Scramble with some sort of explosive movement here he can't stay there and wait he's got to create a scramble gulo can just never catch a breath he's eaten forms he's getting smothered here it has been smothering offense since the get-go for Padilla you're you mentioned they're trying to wall walk but now we got 40 seconds to go in the first round neon belly attempt there for Taco Taco has been as aggressive or more than we've ever seen and who could blame him with such a rich prize on the line Jonathan yeah he's all over him absolutely mauling The Wolverine so far if he starts Landing some damage here this could very easily be a 108 round for taco Padilla more nasty shots here by Padilla

utilizing that [Music] reach kill which is interesting as well Padia closed the Gap in a big way in round one and now utilizing that reach to keep gulo at the end of that jab Padia in on the hips but gulo defends the take down nice job by manasian nice one-w combo there by Padilla swinging him by [Applause] gulo both these guys are looking to land that big shot here I'm not kidding lightweight

stuff Taco better be careful gulo testing the chin of Taco Padilla here in the second round [Music] [Applause] again Great War here when it comes to these two Padia better be a hard shell taco and the Wolverine better be hard noos cuz they are in for a war G's Corner telling him to stay technical here not to get sloppy this this is a position that cost gulo a lot of time and a lot of punishment in round one getting busy with the knees and shots again is Padilla's got to get out of there yeah Padilla starting to swarm here the storm is [Applause] brewing incredible atmosphere here in Commerce Casino and man oh man Padilla vicious slicing dicing with the knees yeah his Corner calling for the underhook to Circle away from the cage he got it on the left side but he doesn't use it Patia is just having such success in controlling gulo up against that cage gulo rushes his way [Music] out nice knee to the body from Taco Padilla that changed the demeanor of gulo for a moment oh looks like he's starting to Tire here minute 10 to go here in the second of three scheduled rounds lightweight title on the line another big knee by Padilla a left handle while he was on the way in there yeah I tell you you throw you're going to you're going to receive as well and it doesn't take a whole lot if if if gulo hits your flush uh-oh gulo starting to gulo but Taco staying right in his face here and gulo is nearly impossible to put away only finished once by knockout as we said was only Chapman that did that short time left in the round just over 25 [Applause] seconds but it's been a very good second half of the round for Padilla you know it was an excellent start to the round for gulo he was starting to fight his own fight oh a takeown could be very detrimental to gulo and Padilla scores it wow Padilla's making a statement here Jonathan Taco Padilla again with another takedown to finish the round when we return it's time for our third and final round UNF Fighters are the future of the

going to come in with a game plan and that has been the case thus far for Padia and if gulo is going to win and win the title gulo is going to have to gulo and he's got to do it quickly yeah the title hangs in the balce taco in on a taked down early here he's got a lot of time to work with the fight on the mat there's a nasty knee to the ribs as well gulo gets back to a vertical base but out of the fry pan Into the Fire taken down again by Christopher Tako Padilla thunderous Tak down for taco Padilla as he slammed gulo to the mat always working grinding the forearm smothering with the hand shots to the body all over gulo manasian gul's Corner the team oyama faithful telling him to get his back to the fence slight look at this just sliding That Elbow across the face side control by Tako Padilla just a dominant performance so far for Christopher Taco Padilla just taking manassian out of his realm here and what's so surprising about that again Jonathan I mean not we're not surprised cuz Padia is a fantastic fighter but just because of how dominant gulo has been for his past seven fights yeah you know those first round Knockouts perhaps uhoh watch out here if he keep bounc to the head of gulo off the canvas gou ripped open [Applause] here gulo hanging on for dear life but he better answer here unanswered shots and now attempting there to roll out was gulo but he is eaten some nasty bombs yeah he's leaking something terrible right now [Applause] too 3 minutes 10 seconds left in the third and final round and taco Padilla is in cruise control here yeah I'll tell you man gulo out here on the West Coast he's caught up in the surf it's hard to know which end is up right now because Taco's been hitting him from all angles and inside 3 minutes to go now G's got to find a way to his feet and get some distance and then he's always going to have that puncher chance yeah now he's got the back of gulo looking to thread the choke here the hands fight the hands corner of gulo telling them to fight the fight the hands stay alive in there stay active but more elbows man it has been all you can eat elbows by Taco Padilla yeah I I would call those hellbow Todd because they're creating an absolute mess Inside the Cage now looking for the submission finish here doesn't have it yet G doing a good job of fighting the hands here but for how long can it last and gulo is entirely exclusively on the defensive here yep that's going to be choked that's that's pretty deep Todd Taco put him away Taco Padilla with the third w submission and put your hands together for the new up next fighting lightweight champion Christopher Taco Padilla iOS Mio what a performance lightweight division you got yourself a new ruler and good luck taking this guy off the throne that was a dominant performance against a dominant opponent let's let's look back it was as if Padilla could do no wrong in this title fight Jonathan yeah absolutely you see he starts the round with a beautiful takedown and that gave him plenty of time to work and that's exactly what he did he worked himself into a position where he could finish this fight he maintained position before going for the submission and that's exactly one of the keys to victory that I called for you see the choke threaded under there gulo fighting the hands but uh forced the tap or it was a night to nap Taco style brought the extreme hot sauce in this one as we're going to go back into the cage Christian Cole and make it all official ladies and gentlemen referee milin aers has called a stop to this bout at 3
