[Applause] all right here's the oncoming bantamweight Force out of the great nation of Georgia re and team Sarah Longo there on the northeastern side of the US May Rob dwes willly he been on the championship course for a long time he's got a big fight in front of him tonight all he does is Win John and he wins in a certain way he pressures you and he breaks you down I have seen so many great bantamweights fight morab dues and you could see they start to lose not only physically but in the spirit he attacks you at a level that's higher than just your body he's a great wrestler he will put a pressure and Pace on you that not many people can stay with and I'm not sure that any athlete has ever muted Jose Aldo's offense as much as dwes willly did back in 2022 May Rob back under the bright light s all right the sugar show live and in color sha Ali back on the proven ground here tonight and what else can you say about what he did against Abu Dhabi close fight against P Yan but that really served to put him on this champion ship trajectory well you got to stand out and take note when you fight someone like that so close even if he had lost you had to give him his respect but ultimately he got the decision this guy is a great Striker the one area where we have not seen him tested is in the grappling tonight he will have to rely on that if he wants to get another victory in what has been a fast paced Ascent yeah of the bantamweight rankings and he is a willing Grappler we've seen compet in quintet Ultra austo tanino Mendes UFC veteran there firmly in his corner but you're right we haven't necessarily seen sha o Maly tested in that realm as yet and now our tail the tape for this bantamweight championship fight now for the official introductions the veteran voice of the Octagon Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen this is the main event of the [Applause] evening time five rounds for the Undisputed UFC bwe championship of the world introducing first fighting out of the blue Corner BR the machine D [Applause] gr and now introducing the champion fighting out of the Red Corner sugar Shan Val Herb Dean is your referee he's the third man in the Octagon tonight all right usually all offense all the time out of Mor Rob dallace Willie the George in the team songo staple as this round gets underway you got to think he's going to go to the takedown early and often and he doesn't get discouraged when the opposition gets back up he chains his takedowns together as good as anyone in this bantamweight Division and he believes that will be the path of least resistance here tonight no surprise to some take down attempt and succession out of May Rob dwes willly if you open this man up I'm not sure he's humor no he's not human the guy can go as hard as anyone I've ever seen stop one you better be ready to stop 15 takedowns because morab will not stop pursuing crazy accuracy and efficiency with these ground and pound strikes here and if you're the opponent you got to intelligently defend or the referee's going to stop got to defend but you can see him now starting to gain posture in the intensity at which he's throwing these ground strikes is starting to improve it's starting to elevate because he knows that can get the F now drops inside that closed guard DC full guard let's see how patient he is as he attacks a submission or big ground and P all right inside his opponent's guard here DC I don't want to play around here too long no you got to either have two hands in or two hands out or guys start to attack triangle oh crowd just loving it as the fighters after an extended rling battle make their way back to the F yeah they're back on their feet they spent a lot of energy on the ground though these guys were going back and forth on the ground and ultimately he's gotten back to his feet to give himself an opportunity effective strike there by dallace in a ton of trouble right now just over two minutes to go in what has been a furious round one well he continues to stay busy in big double leg number CH all right bottom fighter here maybe looking to hip Escape DC oh he's got a blocked in he's got that arm triangle deep oh he escapes he got out I mean wow that is great submission defense and he will let his opponent stand up here oh and he tags him with the straight beautifully placed there by drais that was a big strik over and over this guy's getting hit right in his face secure that take down and win the round swing and a miss by dwall R 30 seconds now to go in the opening round yes to the single call time now oh you saw reference in the tail the tape DC he's got the reach advantage and certain the top this fight going be over what a great way save by by the Bell that's the end of the round you heard the horn and it came just as he was stunned by a huge shot right before the end of the round so save by the Bel back to the stool 60 seconds with which to recover we'll see if his Corner can keep his head in the fight all right there's the end of the round so it was a huge strike to the head that stunned his opponent and and nearly got him out of there yeah that was a big moment a big strike lands his opponent's on wobbly legs that is exactly what what you want to see as you're walking back to your stool your opponent staggering back to his corner and being hopeful that he can get it back together before to start of the next [Applause] round ready to fight ready let's do all right round two starting to do some really significant damage to the body here another strike lands there get out of there oh straight punch lands that's as good a punch as he's thrown all night the punch that lands down the middle the one that you don't feel is the one that land perfect and that one landed perfectly well he rocked him but could finish he rocked him he hurt him bad he couldn't find that one shot but Clos the door could not shut the lights off and now he pass for trying to find that shot again come on bro keep those hands up how about these two oh oh mali's right torso starting to bruise pretty good here hands high hands high just over 3 minutes you don't really stand after you take a head kick like this that is toughness to even be on his feet right now holding on to him here not really doing too much perhaps just looking to recover so a much different approach for him here in this second round he was a little bit tentative in round one little bit of a feeling out process now he has clearly found his rhythm found the range we'll see if he can continue with more activity here in round two dallace willly oh he gets back up but barely look how wobbly he is out of out of there good fight here under two to go big Power Shot [Applause] there oh he Dove wow this man is landing brutal grounding power ohi's pass is Deni oh seamless transition the half guard there unbelievable how quickly he was able to slice that leg crew to get to the half guard inside the Clos guard now I mean he went right into his full guard what does he do to try to advance himself to give him more of an advantage on the mat well pretty good work off of the bottom here by dwes willing now he's going full mount keep moving this is where he wants to be big big shots landed by him now in the half guard final seconds here of round two all right there's the horn the round is over but not before he was cut on his nose from the strikes in that round back to the stool cut man is in should be able to shut that cut and prevent it from becoming an issue moving forward but of course as soon as he gets struck in that next round it could open back up all right so a big knockdown for him courtesy of that punch in that round DC here's a replay big moment in the previous round they were both fighting very well but when he landed this punch right here that s his opponent down it showed that the power is not equal and if he can land he does have the ability to damage it [Applause] you ready to fight you ready now three of a possible five oh conne there DC and his opponent seems to be on his way out of the fight [Applause] all right half guard position here we'll see what he can do with it lot of weapons at his disposal from this dominant position oh man I feel for a wrestler this is the most dominant position in all of fighting because wrestlers love control and to have your upper body free and your leg able to hold your opponent in position it is like striking gold build your posture throw your punches big damage oh Big Shots raining down and he's back up again so the takedowns have been oh and that will do it sh Ali with a massive highlight at the Garden man [Applause] now we go inside the Octagon Bruce Buffer has the official decision ladies and
