tonight forget whatever they've achieved whoever they are outside the cage for the next potential 15 minutes they are going to battle putting the test to the test the skills against each other Jake quick and then black shorts blue Corner Paul Smith white shorts Red Corner Paul said I'm going to have to get through his striking I'm going to have to deal with that early I'm going to have to take some shots to try and get this to the mat oh early on quick and coming out aggressive and Landing pretty heavy down the middle and a low kick gets caught in on the single now but gets raged gold around Smith recovers well recovers and goes for this and Smith is coming from that black l Main he has particularly trains the takedowns particularly trains single legs Double legs and he's trying to put that to use now but look how strong Jake quick yeah Jake doing great job of pushing away the head obviously knows that's a good concept to avoid the takedowns and if if P Smith can't get his head high it's very difficult to convert those takedowns and very strong is quicking for me this is all about low low shot I think there from from from quick and need or not holding the fence was holding the fence but for this is all about intensity if they can maintain the intensity who's going to get tired because first ever fight under these conditions with the pressure that it it's such a big deal kick from Smith there you go Paul Smith said I'm going to probably have to get through a few shots to try and connect for that taked down Jake Quicken then though he's taken to it so naturally everyone that I've seen has trained with him says he's such a natural athlete he learns so quickly oh another heavy leg kick from Smith oh oh St right hand lands sh quicker than look oh he's done it he's done it he's connected he gets the finish Jake too quick quicking the stop Paul Smith within the round gets the walk KO wow with an uppercut straight right down the middle caught him rock that man PA Smith and then he launches that uppercut and finishes that beautifully first round knockout nothing but respect for both these guys they have laid it on the line if you have followed this entire series to show stage to the cage you can see just what they have put into this Jake Quicken then his power though James Webb T to me about it just how strong he was just how good he was on the feet and they said look he's a natural Striker Jake quick andon there he goes to his wife I love you he just said because it's not just been him that's going through this for this 10 months a year he has had to you know give up time with his family with his friends with his wife and his kids and look what it means look what it means and I like to say you know it doesn't matter about the athleticism and the talent and all those sort of things but it's so difficult to knock another man unconscious who's been training for 10 months to compete with you it's such a hard thing to do and people might not see that or feel that or believe that but to achieve that the way he did in his first ever competition you know it's very impressive stuff from quickon oh but Smith what a legend he is and he took some big shots but there were just too many getting through here we go this is is the beginning of the end Quicken then follows him in when he gets him against the cage that's when a real Handy work the combinations the right hand goes to work it's that right hand there stuns him and then he misses and goes for this uppercut and that's the one that lands so it's he was multiple right hands but it was just one that landed on the button you'll see it just here in one second from here bom stuns him he's out on his feet here and just gets finished off up the middle beautiful selection of shots from Jay quickon but P Smith me ality coming in here I was very very impressed the inity he brought let's not forget that he's done this for CH every penny of his purse is going to weapons down gloves up he said I'll only do this if it does some good so even if I get knocked out it will be worth something I have so much respect for both these guys what an insane Journey we see there 1 minute and 16 seconds is all it took and we knew quicking them was going to be you know a b starter an aggressive athletic guy it was more if we could take into deep wats and Smith could get him to the ground if we could see how that could improve him and that that that would that would pay dividend for him because if Smith could get on top and he could wear down the gas tank of quickon then we could see you know something special happen we see there as Jake Embraces with his wife like you said a hard for 10 months avoiding training being away from each other I know what it's like and it's tough on the family and everyone involved but let's make it official let's hand it over to Andre nne ladies and gentlemen after 1 minute 16 seconds of round number one your winner by way of
