[Music] [Applause] it's our tail of the tape for this much anticipated middleweight encounter you ready to fight ready well there is always an electricity when cha sunon is set to Grace this octagon and he's been at this a long time he made his Pro debut one month after he turned 20 so don't expect the atmosphere or the stakes to phase him here tonight his Focus getting in on his opponent's legs early [Applause] enough look at the control of the posture as they land that knee oh nice up and they separate by Clint situation here pursued by the wrestler and a nice job to get inside against the kickboxer who candidly doesn't like this dirty boxing on the inside he doesn't want to be close he wants space he wants things to look clean this wrestler wants to grind on you he wants to wear you down he wants to make you carry his weight for as long as you're inside the Octagon it is so exhausting and fatiguing to fight this type of fight all working out of side control here his opponent trying to control posture but you got to be careful here it looks like some swelling is forming after that ground and pound strike lands Sun's got him in a crucifix going to work from the top now the ground strikes starting to pile up well he's in a compromising spot here DC you got to figure out a way to get back to your feet P his arm he's got him in the crucifix well he's got the ground and pound going now there's an elbow from the top by [Applause] cha all right he's got side control here DC you know he's got a lot of different submissions in his Arsenal once this fight gets to the [Applause] ground beautiful transition oh he's got him in the crucifix now DC all that body weight on his opponent he's got all the weight on the upper body his feet are free to do whatever but the arm stuck between the legs he is now going to start dropping Hammer fist he's going to start dropping elbows this is one of the nastiest positions in all the [Applause] fighting Cha's able to make a nice transition there back into side control oh a multitude of elbows raining down ooh that's a clean elbow from the top no pad on that elbow beautiful elbow lands from the top position Sun's got him in a crucifix now going to go to work from the [Applause] top lot of top pressure being applied here as he works out of side control making all these shots count lands a big elbow there all right side control now DC you know he's in his element on the ground lot of tricks up his sleeve lot of tricks oh big elbow another blow to that swollen area he's in a lot of trouble now he let him step over to the crucifix beautiful beautiful oh he is inflicting some serious damage with these elbows Cha's back inside control oh crucifix from the top position DC if you're on the bottom what are you trying to do to get out on the bottom you've got to start bridging you got to drive your feet and your heels into the mat start bridging and turning side to side hoping that one of the arms slip through the cacks so that you can try to get back to a position where you can defend yourself side control now DC a lot of options at his disposal from here a lot of top pressure being applied [Applause] here Sun's got him in a crucifix going to work from the top now look at that recognized he was about to lose position oh get the cut man ready good series of elbows there oh yeah he's got his work cut out for him he is tearing this guy apart with those elbows all right side control now we'll see if he can advance position oh big elbow oh he's got him in a crucifix now DC we've seen you go to this a couple times no this is one of my favorite techniques I got Vulcan oir here and I just landed punch after punch after punch they didn't have to be hard but if you can land 30 40 strikes in a row the referee will have no choice but to finish the fight ooh right into side control DC this is where you want to be now because you get to make your opponent decide they try to turn back into you you can attack guo tee if they turn away to try to get to your knees you throw your hooks in and you got all your rear choke submissions well we know you fans out there generally don't like premature stoppages but I'm not sure this would be premature I mean his face is essentially shut closed at this point of the fight he's just been beat up he's been outclassed he's been outworked he's been outsmarted his opponent has just been better he's been better in every aspect of fighting and it's showing in all the swelling that is on his face oh big [Applause] elbow takes his back now that hard sounds means we have reached the end of round one well if there's the end of the round and the nend swell can only do so much right his face looks like it has been injected it's so swollen this fight could end at any moment all right as they attend to the damag fighter we will rack some replays for you a lot of damaging strikes landed by the opposition in that previous round well him just not really paying attention on the defensive side has made his opponent look like an absolute World beater he's a good fighter but he has never looked this good and that isn't that is partly because his opponent is not defending ready second round here oh deser B oh beautiful combination nice counter left there looking to set up that head kick again this one does not find the home all right well he rocked him pretty good but didn't sort of smell blood in the water and now his opponent's back in the front I mean blood's in the water you got to go get it you got to go find the Finish you cannot let him off the hook like that because now oh man oh he's got him hurting here oh a big left hand nice job defensively he blocked that punch looks like that one Landing Beau well he has certainly kept the punch counters busy tonight he's Landing a ton of significant strikes and clearly is winning this fight tonight he's winning this fight going away and it's one of those rare instances where everything comes [Applause] together CH shot there is [Music] blocked he's in trouble he's getting it up oh he's hurt now some separation overhand is true those are big strikes overhand right swinging a Miss oh counters with a beautiful left hand just over three minutes to go in round two strong Punch To The Head and the punch oh goes to the ankle pick now to get him down DC we'll see how he chooses to proceed from here got the ankle kick let's see how he advances from this position he gets to the single call time look for him to wear on his opponent by pulling the head down and punching with the free hand Stuffs the Tak down there how good is his takedown defense oh H again oh my goodness holy SM yeah that was just a gorgeous shot to end the fight right there I'm not even sure the opponent really saw it coming so back to the drawing board for him but for the winner this is certainly exactly what he was looking for here tonight here is Bruce Buffer with the official decision ladies and gentlemen referee her Dean is call a stop to this contest at 2 minutes 25 seconds of round number two declaring the winner by n CH [Applause] son so chil sunen gets the job done yet again
