00:00:00BKFC uses the unified rules of bare-knuckle fighting,
00:00:03which are being administered this evening
00:00:04by the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation.
00:00:07Punching in the active clinch is allowed.
00:00:09All kicks, knees, and elbows are illegal,
00:00:12as are all takedowns and submissions.
00:00:19We open tonight here in Marbella, Spain,
00:00:21with a bout in the lightweight division,
00:00:23Frans Suarez versus David Mora.
00:00:25Our tale of the tape is presented
00:00:27by Bucked Up Energy Drink.
00:00:30Okay, Sean, Mora does have a three-inch height advantage,
00:00:32however, only a two-inch reach advantage.
00:00:34That's not that much for this weight class,
00:00:37but we do know that Mora does want to stay outside
00:00:40and land those hard shots from a distance.
00:00:42♪♪
00:00:52♪♪
00:01:02♪♪
00:01:08From Madrid, David Mora now set
00:01:11for his bare-knuckle fighting championship debut.
00:01:14Mora has had 17 pro-MMA bouts in our fighter meeting.
00:01:18David Mora told us,
00:01:19I'm going to keep moving in and out.
00:01:21When I'm on the outside,
00:01:22I want to fully utilize my reach advantage,
00:01:24and on the outside, I want to keep throwing the jab.
00:01:28Exactly. He needs to stay long.
00:01:30He wants to control the range.
00:01:31He knows his opponent's coming in with hard shots.
00:01:33It's his job to stop that from happening
00:01:35by controlling that range.
00:01:37Mora also told us,
00:01:38I'm going to target my opponent,
00:01:41Fran Suarez, his head, not his body.
00:01:44He's going to come forward, Mora told us,
00:01:46and Suarez, when he does so,
00:01:48David Mora said,
00:01:49I'm going to move on angles, and that's unclosed.
00:01:52High ball here.
00:01:53Feels like that is his key.
00:01:54Hit and don't get hit.
00:01:56Make sure that's exactly what this is about.
00:01:58This is a sweet science.
00:02:00He wants to showcase that tonight.
00:02:21Draped in the Spanish flag, Fran Suarez.
00:02:25Like his opponent, David Mora, from Madrid,
00:02:28and like Mora, now making his BKFC debut.
00:02:32Suarez overall in the sport of bare knuckle is 2-0.
00:02:35He's 9-4-1 in his pro boxing career.
00:02:38Fran Suarez told us in our fighter meeting,
00:02:41I want a very fast and aggressive start
00:02:43while remaining smart and technical.
00:02:45Wants to get inside,
00:02:46try and do as much damage as he can from that position.
00:02:49Feels like that's where he has the advantage.
00:02:51He has to get under.
00:02:52He can't trade punches with a guy at his range.
00:02:55He wants to get into his range.
00:02:56Suarez also told us,
00:02:58I'm going to break down the body of Damian Suarez.
00:03:00When I do so, then I will target the head.
00:03:03I believe that Mora wants to stay long.
00:03:06Suarez said, I will be long,
00:03:07but then I will fully explode inside the tower.
00:03:10He needs to cut off the ring.
00:03:11He cannot chase his opponent.
00:03:13He needs to mirror his opponent's hips.
00:03:14Get to the right with his hips.
00:03:15Get inside, unload those power shots.
00:03:18Suarez also told us,
00:03:19I'm going to be throwing hard overhand rights.
00:03:22I'm going to utilize a wide variety of punches.
00:03:26A lot of excellent head movement, high motion throughout.
00:03:29He was very excited to be starting off the card tonight.
00:03:33Once you come out there and set the tone,
00:03:34I think he's going to be able to do it.
00:03:42To get us started from Marbella, Spain,
00:03:45we send it to the always outstanding Jeff Houston.
00:03:50Damas y caballeros, bienvenidos,

00:05:21Here is Fran Mi Vida Loca Suarez.
00:05:31And our referee in charge of the action, Brian Miner.
00:05:36David Mora told us,
00:05:37I believe Fran Suarez will try to make this an inside fight.
00:05:41I will negate his inside pressure
00:05:43with my outstanding footwork.
00:05:46Brian Miner calling both fighters up to scratch.
00:05:49Our debut for BKFC on the zone.
00:05:51Our debut for BKFC in Spain.
00:05:53The bell at around number one.
00:05:54Black trunks for Fran Suarez.
00:05:56Purple trunks for David Mora.
00:05:59He's the long jab, overhand right from Suarez.
00:06:02Looking inside, rear right uppercut landing for Mora.
00:06:04Mora looking very relaxed, trying to keep that range,
00:06:06trying to keep his opponent paying
00:06:07when he throws his overhand.
00:06:09Suarez on the level change.
00:06:11Right hand to the body.
00:06:13Hand to the head on the reply from Mora.
00:06:16Mora six foot tall to Suarez,
00:06:17his five foot nine accentuated by the level change.
00:06:20There's the overhand right on the entry.
00:06:22Counter right hand landed,
00:06:23then the overhand right misses from Mora.
00:06:26Suarez has gotta be careful with all these wild shots.
00:06:28If they land it's perfect,
00:06:29if not you're gonna get tagged and paid for it.
00:06:31Both fighters are landing to the head,
00:06:33early stages of round number one.
00:06:3515 remaining in the opening round.
00:06:37We are in the lightweight division.
00:06:39Triple jab, orthodox stance of David Mora.
00:06:43Suarez on the orthodox stance, the left hook.
00:06:46I like how Mora's controlling the range from all times,
00:06:48even though he's pushing forward and using that jab,
00:06:50he's controlling his opponent to pay for trying to get him.
00:06:53There's the left hook to the inside for Tom Suarez.
00:06:56First clinch, inside headlock.
00:06:58And that draws the separation from Brian Miner.
00:07:01Soft landing by Miner on the side, headlock.
00:07:03Not legal in the clinch of the unified rules of throwing up.
00:07:07Overhand right, overhand left, both missing from Suarez.
00:07:10Back on his striking line,
00:07:11coming forward to the mid-range.
00:07:12David Mora on the right hand,
00:07:14the third counter right hand.
00:07:15And it looks like Mora's starting to find
00:07:17his own range a little bit more often.
00:07:19Suarez starting to look tired from winging those punches.
00:07:22Another turn right back from David Suarez.
00:07:24On the underhook.
00:07:25There's the separation from Brian Miner.
00:07:27Everything is flowing.
00:07:3020 seconds remaining in round number one.
00:07:32See him duck under the levered chin from Tom Suarez.
00:07:36Suarez, even though he's a pressure fighter,
00:07:38he's having to back up a little bit more than normal.
00:07:40That's because of that good jab,
00:07:41that good pressure applied by Miner.
00:07:43And again, the overhand right from Suarez.
00:07:46Those are missing, but they are taking
00:07:47David Mora off his striking line.
00:07:49Overhand right again, onto the belt.
00:07:51That is the end of round number one.
00:07:53And you can just see from the body language
00:07:55of both of these fighters right now,
00:07:57showing that Suarez seems to be the pressure fighter.
00:08:00The only thing he has to worry about
00:08:01are these overhand rights, these wild shots of Suarez,
00:08:04but it's giving him opportunities to throw punches back.
00:08:07Let you know what I have to say.
00:08:09Next Saturday, it's the battle of the giants
00:08:11as Francis Ngannou returns to mixed martial arts
00:08:14as he faces TFL heavyweight champion, Kenneth Herrera.
00:08:18Listen to me.
00:08:20When he comes down...
00:08:22Listen to me, Morita.
00:08:23When he comes down, throw him with a hook, but don't...
00:08:26You don't have a hook, damn it.
00:08:27Look at the feather and aim.
00:08:29Okay, how are you doing?
00:08:30How are you doing, damn it?
00:08:32Good, good, good.
00:08:33But you have to put a little more pressure on him, you.
00:08:35But don't hit him with so much power.
00:08:37You have to connect him, you understand?
00:08:39Throw more punches, but not so hard.
00:08:41And don't start with the volley, damn it.
00:08:42But give him water, come on.
00:08:44Cutman and fighter G. Perez
00:08:47doing his handiwork,
00:08:48stopping that little bit of blood coming from Suarez.
00:08:51In our fighter meeting,
00:08:52Fran Suarez said,
00:08:53one of my absolute key punches is the overhand right.
00:08:57He's been throwing it hard, just not connecting,
00:08:59at least not through the opening two minutes.
00:09:01The start of round number two.
00:09:03The problem with that punch is his telegraph,
00:09:04and he's just swinging.
00:09:05He's not coming in with a jab,
00:09:06and he's closing that range.
00:09:08When you come from far away and throw it,
00:09:10it's easy to see and easy to defend.
00:09:12Two hard jabs in the last sequence from David Mora.
00:09:14Overhand right again from Suarez.
00:09:16There's the jab.
00:09:17Counter right hand from Mora.
00:09:19Jabbing controls the range from inside too,
00:09:21to press it down.
00:09:23A little pressure now, slightly, from David Mora.
00:09:27You see Fran Suarez looking for the duck
00:09:29under the roll through.
00:09:33The jab again, hard right hand, just off the mark.
00:09:36Suarez trying to come in with that jab,
00:09:37but it's not ever close to distance in time.
00:09:40Or he continues to back up.
00:09:42It's the southpaw, right back to ortho for David Mora.
00:09:45Suarez committed to the orthodox stance.
00:09:47115 remaining, round number two.
00:09:48Hard jab, there's the overhand right partial to land.
00:09:54More pressure again from Suarez,
00:09:55but it went to the body.
00:09:58I feel like Mora has done a great job
00:10:01of deciding where the fight happens.
00:10:05Mora, high tight striking guard.
00:10:08We have an open striking guard now for Fran Suarez.
00:10:1150 seconds remaining, round number two.
00:10:13A little overhand left, bad landed from Suarez.
00:10:16Goes again at the overhand left,
00:10:17counter left hook from Mora.
00:10:18That was clever at the start.
00:10:22To the mid-range comes David Mora.
00:10:25Okay, when Suarez, a fighter of his style,
00:10:28when he continues to come forward, it's easy.
00:10:30But when somebody else dictates when the fight happens,
00:10:33it's exhausting.
00:10:34Just saw more overhand misses,
00:10:35right then left from Fran Suarez.
00:10:37He continues to throw that punch.
00:10:43Switch back from southpaw orthodox.
00:10:48He's on the stop switch here, round number two.
00:10:50Overhand left partially connected from Suarez.
00:10:52Overhand right misses again into the clinch,
00:10:54almost a side headlock, he's tied on.
00:10:57Best thing that Suarez is able to do,
00:10:59he's having good headroom, he's staying low,
00:11:00he's winging those punches.
00:11:02Makes it very difficult to counter,
00:11:03but Mora's doing a great job of landing
00:11:06as early and as often as possible.
00:11:08We are through two rounds.
00:11:13Good, breathe, give him water, come on.
00:11:16Give him water.
00:11:18Do you want me to take the mouthpiece off, or is it okay?
00:11:20Breathe, sit down.
00:11:22Good, good, you don't have to.
00:11:24He's too fast.
00:11:25Yeah, but you know why he's so fast?
00:11:27Because you want to go with the hard punch.
00:11:31You have to go with the upper hand first,
00:11:32feinting and entering.
00:11:33Do you understand or not?
00:11:35Fran, fuck, let him counter you.
00:11:36Okay, and you throw him out and you get tired, fuck.
00:11:39You don't have to be so hard.
00:11:40And straight, do you understand, damn it?
00:11:42You hear the nice, catchy change between these two fighters.
00:11:45This is where Suarez is able to get in and land a punch.
00:11:48Once again, Mora, leaning into the punch.
00:11:53Suarez doing these wild shots.
00:11:55He's hoping to land a punch that can change
00:11:56the course of this fight.
00:11:57But right now, he has not been able to land anything meaningful.
00:12:03Suarez, David Mora up the scratch.
00:12:07Count number three.
00:12:09and off the jab overhand right for the entry from Suarez we're doing a great
00:12:20job of blocking a lot of those shots that can make that not a clean shot see the
00:12:26miss the spin of 360 from Fran Suarez taking himself fully off balance with
00:12:30the mist overhand right to the center circle through the center circle now
00:12:39Davi more effectively to the mid-range that overhand left
00:12:46not there for Suarez standing a very tall stance see this swelling under the
00:12:53right eye on the face of box Suarez Suarez again trying to explode fool
00:12:59Suarez is just not finding those overheads. Even when he tries to jab, the floor doesn't give him a backhand
00:13:05staying just out of range. What Suarez has to do, he has to keep throwing shots. If he throws two, he keeps backhanding. If he throws three, he throws four.
00:13:12Good body work. Saw the straight punches landed effectively by Davi Moore in the
00:13:18last sequence. 50 seconds remaining round three.
00:13:23Range to the mid-range. Long again.
00:13:26Good movement from Davi Moore.
00:13:28Jab to the body from Fran Suarez.
00:13:30And left.
00:13:35With the right hand.
00:13:37See the smear of blood across the face of Fran Suarez.
00:13:43Blood is on the bridge of Suarez's nose.
00:13:47Thunder again. Hands very low now for Suarez with 20 seconds remaining round three.
00:13:52Even though he's winging punches, he's very hard to hit.
00:14:01Effective right hand as he switched to southpaw. Now back to orthodox for Davi Moore on the overhand left from Suarez to the inside.
00:14:09We are through three rounds.
00:14:13Even though it does look like Suarez is throwing the harder shots, you can tell there's a difference as they land.
00:14:19I feel a lot of times Suarez is getting hit, he's backing up, he's going against the post.
00:14:23Not seeing that when Moore gets hit.
00:14:26Suarez is cut on the bridge of his nose. You see Moore is cut on his right cheek.
00:14:37Like I said a little bit ago, as Suarez will throw two jabs and then try to throw that right in.
00:14:45It doesn't matter where his opponent's at, he's throwing it.
00:14:48But if Moore continues to back up, you might have to play two, three, four jabs.
00:14:51You have to push him into the ropes and then throw that punch, or you're not going to win.
00:14:58Beautiful straight left. That's what I talked about. Who's backing up when they get hit? It's Suarez.
00:15:04Suarez.
00:15:13Sold out tonight here.
00:15:15Stands across to Del Sol, Marbella Arena. Marbella's staying, round number four.
00:15:21Immediate full of pressure to start round four.
00:15:23Off the straps and through the center circle from Khabib Moore.
00:15:26Goes in for a double jab.
00:15:29Suarez trying to bait his opponent in, trying to get him to throw punches so he can enter his power stride.
00:15:35Clearing the hips of Suarez as David Moore effectively returns to Suarez.
00:15:40Back on the center circle.
00:15:44A double jab coming for David Moore. Moore to the body.
00:15:48Suarez.
00:15:50Suarez.
00:15:52Suarez.
00:15:54Suarez.
00:15:56Suarez.
00:15:59Suarez.
00:16:01Back to southpaw and right back to ortho.
00:16:04Giving a stance to which is Chris starting around with the feet of David Moore.
00:16:10The girl through the belt there from Suarez.
00:16:13Sixty-five seconds remaining in round number four.
00:16:16Hit, swing and a miss. Another swing and a miss from the young man's leg.
00:16:19Suarez.
00:16:20Back to our fighting league with Chris. Suarez said, man, he's running by a few punches.
00:16:24That's over head right.
00:16:26He's true to what he said. He continues to throw it.
00:16:29I mean, to be honest with you, Moore has to fight in a perfect fight to deal with the style.
00:16:33Like those big right hands and left hooks are coming at you.
00:16:36You can't take one, so you have to be perfect.
00:16:39Right uppercut getting through, counter right hand.
00:16:42And that is the first knockdown in this fight. It is not.
00:16:44It is ruled a slip immediately and decisively by Brian Miner.
00:16:47He was called a push.
00:16:49Thirty seconds remaining in round four.
00:16:56The active lead hand rangefinder jab looking for that.
00:16:59The overhand left Suarez couldn't find it to cut the distance.
00:17:02Mouthpiece out. No histrionics. Mouthpiece right back in.
00:17:06I love that we do the mouthpiece, the MMA way in bare knuckle, not the boxing way.
00:17:10Right back to it.
00:17:11Pick it up and put it back in there.
00:17:12Overhand right. Misses again.
00:17:14Again, the turn on the counter to the body.
00:17:16Counter right hand from Suarez just before the belt that ends round four.
00:17:20We move to the fifth and final round.
00:17:22This is a very technical fight.
00:17:24Both these guys are doing everything very well.
00:17:27Suarez avoided those hard shots and getting fired right back.
00:17:31Love it.
00:17:45Here's these wild, hard, powerful shots from Suarez.
00:17:48Who doesn't like them?
00:17:53Mora doing a great job of blocking those.
00:17:56He's not going to block it all the way, but he's making sure he's not taking any clean shots.
00:17:59And that's what he needs to do.
00:18:00Make sure those overhand rights and those powerful left hooks.
00:18:03You're not eating those clean.
00:18:04That's what leads them.
00:18:05They're not down for the void.
00:18:10If you're in the corner, Suarez, you have to tell them,
00:18:12my dad on this call, you have to land something meaningful.
00:18:15So keep the jab in the air.
00:18:18You cannot wait and throw those punches.
00:18:21Keep the guys backing up.
00:18:22Back him into a corner.
00:18:23Land some hard shots.
00:18:24Unload a combination of power shots.
00:18:28This will be a medical timeout as called by referee Brian Meyer
00:18:31in the first appearance of the night.
00:18:33This beautiful autumn evening here on SmackDown.
00:18:36Dr. Don Moose here wins this fight.
00:18:38Medical stoppage and the win in his BKFC debut for Daveed Mora.
00:18:44That is not what I thought was going to happen when he went over the hook.
00:18:47There must be something more that we're not seeing from our angles.
00:18:51You never question what our doctors say.
00:18:53Plus, he's so good, so whenever he is in there,

00:19:37For your winner by TKO,
00:19:40Daveed Mora!
00:19:44Excellent fight for Mora.
00:19:45I was so impressed with his precision,
00:19:47his accuracy, his ability to stay relaxed
00:19:50with bombs coming at him.
00:19:51He did a great job in his first BKFC fight.
00:19:54Francois was game.
00:19:55He continued to throw big overhand rights,
00:19:58also big overhand lefts,
00:19:59power punches throughout,
00:20:00but Daveed Mora was poised.
00:20:03Outstanding footwork, straight punches,

00:20:26You see the numbers.
00:20:27They are presented by Forge Irish Stealth
00:20:30for RB Tarkaya versus Daniel Toledo.
00:20:33And only a two-inch height advantage for Toledo.
00:20:36However, he has a significant five-and-a-half-inch reach advantage
00:20:39that he's going to have to use up
00:20:41because we know the other opponent coming in.
00:20:45RB, he's coming throwing bombs,
00:20:47and he wants to land those shots.
00:20:48From nearby Malaga, Spain,
00:21:13Daniel Toledo now set
00:21:15for his bare-knuckle fighting championship debut.
00:21:18Toledo has had 26 pro MMA bouts.
00:21:21He has the brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
00:21:23In our fighter meeting, Toledo said,
00:21:25I am going to use my clinch game, use my Jiu-Jitsu,
00:21:28my upper body grappling to be very effective,
00:21:31very heavy in the clinch versus my opponent, Harvey Chakaya.
00:21:35Well, what I love, he said he's here to entertain.
00:21:37He's gonna put on a show.
00:21:38He's going for the KO right away.
00:21:40Feels like he has more power than his opponent.
00:21:42He's gonna show it.
00:21:43With that, Toledo also told us,
00:21:45I am willing to take chances to land my power punches.
00:21:49I expected that my opponent, Harvey Chakaya,
00:21:51is going to be feinting a lot.
00:21:53Of Chakaya, Toledo said, I definitely respect his boxing.
00:21:56I have to be aware of his very active left hand,
00:22:00but I will make smart assessments
00:22:01and I will find my power punch.
00:22:03And he has to throw a lot of feints,
00:22:05really make his opponent guess,
00:22:06not know where the punches are coming from.
00:22:07Then he throws his power shots.
00:22:09Feels like he has the power, has to utilize it,
00:22:11especially with that straight right hand.
00:22:13Toledo said, I will not rush it.
00:22:15This is my Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut.
00:22:18I will feel my way into this fight,
00:22:20make assessments as this bout progresses.
00:22:22I love what he said.
00:22:23His key to victory,
00:22:24he has to be aggressive the entire fight.
00:22:39On this, the day before his 34th birthday,
00:22:42Chakaya now set for his

00:22:51He's 2-0 in pro boxing.
00:22:52Chakaya was a member of Austria's national boxing team.
00:22:56At our fighter meeting, Harvey Chakaya said,
00:22:58I'm going to be extremely smart, extremely technical.
00:23:01I am going to stay on the outside.
00:23:03Chakaya said very candidly, I want to avoid the clinch.
00:23:06That is not where I am comfortable.
00:23:08I will stay on the outside.
00:23:10I believe that I can showcase my footwork
00:23:12and my superior speed.
00:23:13And that was surprising to me, Shawn.
00:23:15He has a five and a half inch reach deficit
00:23:17and he wants to stay on the outside.
00:23:19But he has a lot of fight experience.
00:23:21Feels like he believes in his power as well.
00:23:24Feels like he's going to pressure his opponent
00:23:25the entire time from that far side.
00:23:28Play me at will, and he's going to outbox his opponent.
00:23:31He wants to showcase his skill.
00:23:32Chakaya said, I will keep throwing the jab.
00:23:35I will throw an explosive jab
00:23:36and I will throw explosive power punches behind the jab.
00:23:40Knows he has to be very focused in this fight
00:23:43and also very smart.

00:30:08Roderick Stadler.
00:30:09Stadler has had 20 professional K-1 rules bouts.
00:30:13At our fighter meeting, Stadler said,
00:30:15I want to establish myself on the outside,
00:30:18keep circling, keep working off of my jab.
00:30:21He feels like his opponent wants to get inside,
00:30:24so he has to stay aggressive but be out,
00:30:26countering, utilizing that clinch,
00:30:28not letting his opponent get into his range
00:30:30and on those combinations.
00:30:31Stadler said, I'm extremely comfortable
00:30:34punching while moving backwards.
00:30:36I want to showcase my footwork
00:30:38and I want to patiently and smartly look for openings.
00:30:41He feels like he's more technical than his opponent.
00:30:44He's better than his opponent.
00:30:45He just has to go out there and show that.
00:30:47When his opponent pressures, cut angles,
00:30:49feels like he needs to be smarter mentally
00:30:51and stay focused the entire fight.
00:30:53Of his opponent in this featherweight bout,
00:30:55Niko Gaffee.
00:30:56Roderick Stadler said,
00:30:57I definitely respect Gaffee's punching power.
00:31:00I think he's going to have a very fast start to this fight
00:31:02because he is fighting here in his home city,
00:31:04Marbella, Spain.
00:31:05I have to stay focused.
00:31:06I cannot get pulled into a brawl.
00:31:09He knows his opponent is going to come in.
00:31:11He's sure he's going to come in throwing power shots.
00:31:13His answer for that is a lot of uppercuts
00:31:15and making him pay each time he tries to get close.
00:31:36You hear the ovation for Niko Gaffee,
00:31:38fighting here in his home city, Marbella, Spain.
00:31:41This is Gaffee's BKFC debut.
00:31:43He's had 48 combined pro kickboxing Muay Thai,
00:31:47A1 rules bouts.
00:31:49Gaffee told us in our fighter meeting,
00:31:51I believe I'm an extremely intelligent fighter
00:31:54and I will showcase my intelligence throughout.
00:31:57Gaffee said,
00:31:58I will use aggression, but only when it is appropriate.
00:32:01I'm going to sit on my back foot,
00:32:03whereas Gaffee said,
00:32:04traditionally in my career,
00:32:06in kickboxing and Muay Thai,
00:32:07A1 rules bouts, I've been on the front foot.
00:32:10I'm moving to the back foot
00:32:11so I can more effectively slip and fall.
00:32:14Exactly.
00:32:15It feels like the key is for him to not get hit.
00:32:17He understands this is bare knuckle.
00:32:19He likes to train, but he's not going to.
00:32:21He doesn't need to.
00:32:22He feels like he has the skill
00:32:23and the ability to stay in his opponent's face.
00:32:26The other time, he can clinch, he can strike,
00:32:27he can do anything.
00:32:28He just has to be smarter than he does.
00:32:30Gaffee said,
00:32:31the mantra of my training camp was avoid the mid range
00:32:34all the way in or all the way out.
00:32:37It feels like he's faster, he's stronger,
00:32:39he hits harder, he wants to get in,
00:32:40work the body, wear his opponent down
00:32:42and then finish him, beat him up.

00:34:13Radek Stadler told us,
00:34:15this fight is about my technique
00:34:17versus my opponent, Nikko Goffy's aggression.

00:34:54Nikko Goffy said, I will close the distance
00:34:56for Mike Tyson style to the inside.
00:34:58Counter left hand from Stadler.
00:35:00I like what Goffy's doing.
00:35:01Just what he said.
00:35:02Getting to his opponent's range, making him punch,
00:35:04and then countering.
00:35:05Very effective.
00:35:08And you see Stadler on his back foot,
00:35:10sitting on that rear right hand.
00:35:12Good stances now for Nikko Goffy.
00:35:14Already has Stadler not wanting to throw
00:35:16because the combinations come in as soon as he does throw.
00:35:21It's going to be a little bit slick against the ringers.
00:35:23By Brian Miner, right back to it.
00:35:2560 seconds remaining, round number one.
00:35:31Pressure again from Goffy, trying to cut the ring.
00:35:34Stadler circling out.
00:35:36And a man from Radek Stadler.
00:35:38And we're playing to this very pro Nikko Goffy Marbella crowd.
00:35:44Inside, Mario Nikko Goffy.
00:35:47Smile on the face of Radek Stadler after that exchange.
00:35:51Stadler's not really fighting his way.
00:35:53He's not getting much off of him.
00:35:58Comment of Nikko now, in support of Nikko Goffy.
00:36:02Stadler constantly waiting to counter.
00:36:05The floor again.
00:36:06Left uppercut just missing from Goffy.
00:36:12Goffy talked about working that body,
00:36:14but the way his opponent is covering, he's going to have to...
00:36:17Before pressure again.
00:36:20Heavy into the clinch.
00:36:21Left hand, overhand right chest off the mark from Radek Stadler.
00:36:25The bell, we move to round two.
00:36:27Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:36:41I need my replay.
00:36:47On October 26th, live from Manchester,
00:36:50Jack Catterall faces two-time world champion Regis.
00:37:04And you can see at the end of this round,
00:37:06right as the referee stepped in there.
00:37:11I don't think it did any damage,
00:37:16but I'm not sure if they're going to put up with too much of that.
00:37:20Good work from referee Brian Miner.
00:37:22And the ultra popular fighter and cut man, Regis.
00:37:27Underline, underline.
00:37:30And Miner now bringing both fighters up to scratch
00:37:32to start round number two.
00:37:34Round number two underway.
00:37:36To his back foot.
00:37:38Now circling to his right, Radek Stadler.
00:37:41That's why I think Niko needs to really work the body.
00:37:44The way his opponent's coming up,
00:37:46you're not going to land you the hit.
00:37:51Stadler to the inside on the floor.
00:37:53Left hand hard to the body from Gaffey.
00:37:56And that's ruled a slip by Brian Miner.
00:37:59Back to it.
00:38:00And in the center circle.
00:38:04Stadler just waiting to counter.
00:38:06Hard to do when you get hit with body shots.
00:38:08Hard to the body again from Niko Gaffey.
00:38:11And that is a clean knockdown.
00:38:13Great job by Gaffey.
00:38:15Taking what his opponent's giving you.
00:38:16Giving you the body.
00:38:17I'm going to take it.
00:38:18There's the mandatory eight count
00:38:20given to Radek Stadler by Brian Miner.
00:38:22He's going to have to quit blocking those body shots,
00:38:25or start blocking those body shots.
00:38:26He can't continue to take them.
00:38:28Gaffey again to the body.
00:38:29Tenacious body shots knockdown number two.
00:38:34There is no boxing glove to spread out that punch.
00:38:38That digs deep just like you see.
00:38:40Fight's over.
00:38:41The stumble and the win.
00:38:43Which emphasis for Niko Gaffey?
00:38:46We've said it many times.
00:38:48You can hit with a big boxing glove.
00:38:50It spreads out that punch.
00:38:51You can hit with a bare knuckle.
00:38:52It digs deep like a knife.
00:38:54That's what happened to Stadler.
00:38:55He got hit with those body shots.
00:38:57As soon as Gaffey decided,
00:38:59I'm going to go to the body.
00:39:00I'm going to commit to this.
00:39:01That fight was over.
00:39:02Outstanding refereeing from Brian Miner
00:39:04as he was giving Stadler the mandatory eight count
00:39:07on the second knockdown of this round number two.
00:39:10Stadler up, stumbling.
00:39:12Miner breaking off his count and ending this fight.
00:39:16Phenomenal hand speed, body work, and accuracy
00:39:21from the Spaniards from here in Norvaya.
00:39:23Niko Gaffey is the KFC Champion.
00:39:26When I saw that Gaffey was the underdog with the belly pods,
00:39:29that's exactly why I picked that.
00:39:30I felt that speed, that accuracy, his quickness.
00:39:33I felt that was going to be the difference.
00:39:35Indeed, I was right.
00:39:36Again in our fighter meeting, Roddick Stadler said,
00:39:39this fight will be about my technique
00:39:41versus Niko Gaffey's aggression.
00:39:43Stadler showed his technique on the outside,
00:39:45but Gaffey not only showed outstanding aggression,
00:39:48he showed real clean technique as well.
00:39:54Whenever we go to places we see a lot of talent,
00:39:58same thing here.
00:39:59Gaffey looked phenomenal.
00:40:00We go to Jeff Houston.
00:40:03Ladies and gentlemen,
00:40:04our referee in charge of the action, Brian Miner,
00:40:07steps in calling a stop to this fight
00:40:09at one minute, four seconds into round number two
00:40:12for your winner by TKO,
00:40:15Niko the Iron Gaffey!
00:40:22I don't know if I want to say a flawless victory,
00:40:24but I was really impressed with Gaffey.
00:40:26Great head movement, great experience.
00:40:28Great body shots.
00:40:29I loved everything about that fight.
00:40:33Niko Gaffey told us,
00:40:35I will work the body of Roddick Stadler.
00:40:37I believe it will be open.
00:40:40Very good body work from Gaffey in round number one
00:40:43and brilliant body work from Gaffey in round number two,
00:40:47producing both knockdowns of Roddick Stadler
00:40:50in the second round to the finish.
00:40:53Victorious by way of second round TKO.
00:40:57Niko Gaffey defeats Roddick Stadler.
00:41:15Bellamy with a three-inch height advantage,
00:41:17but he wants to try and use that two-and-a-half-inch reach advantage.
00:41:21His opponent at a very fast,
00:41:23Baton is just going to try and stay out.
00:41:25When he gets in, use that speed, that accuracy, his fast hands.
00:41:29Bellamy's got to stay long and make him pay.
00:41:49From France, Maxime Bellamy,
00:41:53now set for his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut.
00:41:56Overall, the score to Bare Knuckle Bellamy is 2-0.
00:41:59He's had one pro-MMA bout.
00:42:02In our fighter meeting, Bellamy told us
00:42:04he believes one of his major strengths
00:42:06as a professional combat sports athlete
00:42:08is his versatility.
00:42:10He also said, I have the ability
00:42:12to continually make smart adjustments.
00:42:15Well, he used to be a fighter who liked to rush in.
00:42:17Now he understands he has to be smarter.
00:42:19He can't go out there and just wing punches.
00:42:21He has to utilize skill and technique.
00:42:23Feels like his opponent's going to try and stay outside
00:42:26when he's looking to get in center.
00:42:29Bellamy also told us, I believe I have
00:42:31legitimate knockout power in both of my hands.
00:42:33I don't have to rush.
00:42:35I'm going to keep moving on angles,
00:42:37and I believe that my knockout punch will come.
00:42:40He has to utilize lateral movement
00:42:42and then focus on that in-and-out motion.
00:42:44Doesn't want to sit in there and trade punches.
00:42:46Utilize that speed, utilize those angles,
00:42:48get in and get right back out.
00:42:50Maxime Bellamy said of his opponent,
00:42:52Younes Emre Baton,
00:42:54I respect his quickness and his footwork,
00:42:56but I am mentally tougher than Baton.
00:42:59Has to analyze everything going on in the ring
00:43:01the entire time.
00:43:03When he analyzes it, he can dissect it,
00:43:05and he feels like he is a superior fighter.
00:43:21From Turkey,
00:43:23Younes Emre Baton
00:43:25now set for fight number three
00:43:27in BKFC.
00:43:29His most recent time in bare-knuckle fighting
00:43:31championship occurred this past March
00:43:33when he defeated Jim Costoy
00:43:35then on by way of fourth round TKO.
00:43:37Younes Emre Baton is 21
00:43:39in pro kickboxing,
00:43:411-0 in pro MMA.
00:43:43Baton told us in our fighter meeting,
00:43:45I'm going to throw constant combos off of you.
00:43:47I'm going to throw constant combos off of you.
00:43:49I'm going to throw constant combos off of in-and-out movement.
00:43:51He feels like he wants to
00:43:53go in there with Mike Tyson-like movement.
00:43:55He's very fast, duck under,
00:43:57get into position, and throw hard punches.
00:43:59Feels like he's much faster
00:44:01than his opponent and has a lot more weapons.
00:44:03So often, British fighters talk about
00:44:05disguising their punches
00:44:07with footwork,
00:44:09Baton said the opposite.
00:44:11He said, I will disguise,
00:44:13I will move, and I will keep turning up
00:44:15the pressure throughout.
00:44:17He feels like he's going to showcase
00:44:19his entire skill set in this fight.
00:44:21Lots of uppercuts, lots of dirty boxing,
00:44:23lots of angles, he's going to decoy
00:44:25a lot of punches, he's going to be difficult
00:44:27to hit and hard to find out where he's coming from.
00:44:31To get our main card started from
00:44:33sold-out Marbella Arena,
00:44:35we send it to Jeff Houston.

00:46:27Bataan!
00:46:31And our referee
00:46:33in charge of the action, Andrew
00:46:35Glynn. Yunus Emre
00:46:37Bataan told us, I believe Maxime
00:46:39Bellamy will keep rushing forward in the early
00:46:41stages of this fight. When he
00:46:43does so, Bataan said, Bellamy
00:46:45will leave himself wide open to my
00:46:47hard counter punches.
00:46:49Round number one, sporting touch of hands and
00:46:51right to it. Black and gold trucks
00:46:53for the fighter from Turkey, Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:46:55Black and red trucks for the fighter from
00:46:57France, Maxime Bellamy.
00:46:59That is ruled a knockdown by referee
00:47:01Andrew Glynn. Here comes the mandatory eight count
00:47:03for Maxime Bellamy.
00:47:05That punch, it caused him to fall. It wasn't much damage.
00:47:07Sportsmanship continues.
00:47:09Right back to it.
00:47:11No rush at all from Bataan.
00:47:13No rush from the canvas from Bellamy.
00:47:15Well, Bataan knows he didn't land a clean
00:47:17shot. He didn't do much damage.
00:47:19Punches to the inside, big swings from both
00:47:21men.
00:47:23Resetting on the outside, straight forward pressure
00:47:25now from Bellamy. You see the head movement
00:47:27from Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:47:29Eighty seconds remaining, round number one.
00:47:31We are in the middleweight division.
00:47:36And right comes the hard counter right hand
00:47:38from Bataan.
00:47:46Just saw two swings, two misses from
00:47:48Maxime Bellamy.
00:47:50These guys are fast and explosive, Sean.
00:47:54Within striking guard for Bellamy.
00:47:56Another striking guard for Bataan.
00:47:59Heavy on the feint.
00:48:02To the mid-range now comes Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:48:06For the counter, there's the hook
00:48:08to the body from Bataan.
00:48:10Head right hand on the counter.
00:48:12Bellamy landed flush.
00:48:14On the duck under.
00:48:16Into the clinch.
00:48:18There's the separation from Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:48:20These guys are not throwing a lot of
00:48:22conclusions, but what they are throwing are powers.
00:48:24Bataan telling Glenn he was punched to the
00:48:26back of the head by Bellamy.
00:48:28Glenn not interested. We fight on.
00:48:31Step from Bataan.
00:48:35Getting late here in round number one.
00:48:37There is the ten second clock.
00:48:41More pressure again from Bataan.
00:48:44And a step in and counter.
00:48:47There's the bell in the end of round number one.
00:48:51Like I said earlier, these guys
00:48:53throw, they're going for it all.
00:48:55They're throwing power shots.
00:48:57They're going for the head.
00:48:59They're going for the knockout
00:49:01with every shot they're throwing.
00:49:06Next Saturday, it's the Battle of the Giants
00:49:08as Francis Ngannou returns
00:49:10to Mixed Martial Arts as he faces
00:49:12PFL Heavyweight Champion Henin.
00:49:20Small piece.
00:49:30You can just see where Bataan
00:49:32just got out of the way and then
00:49:34came back with his own shots.
00:49:38These guys are very powerful
00:49:40and they are looking to do good.
00:49:44Sometimes you have guys and they come out
00:49:46in a feel-out process.
00:49:48They want to land jabs, they want to control the pace.
00:49:50We're not getting that here.
00:49:52These guys are going for a knockout shot.
00:49:54Bataan recording the knockdown of Bellamy
00:49:56early stages in round number one.
00:49:58Presumably 10-8 across the board
00:50:00for the fighter from Turkey, Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:50:03Round number two underway after, again,
00:50:05the sporting touch of hands.
00:50:07Being active with his lead hand,
00:50:09the fighter from France, Maxime Bellamy.
00:50:11There's the left hand from Bataan.
00:50:13Bataan has some great counters.
00:50:15He's made from Bataan.
00:50:17And again, a jab from Bellamy.
00:50:23Bataan just looking a bit faster.
00:50:25Hard left hand.
00:50:28To the clinch, there's the separation
00:50:30from Andrew Black.
00:50:34Slight mouse has formed under Bellamy's right eye.
00:50:40See the hand fighting, open-handed parries.
00:50:44Yunus Emre Bataan from the southpaw stance
00:50:46looking to feint.
00:50:48Bataan, you can tell he wants to counter.
00:50:50He's just waiting for his opponent.
00:50:52He's trying to draw him in to throw punches.
00:50:54Bellamy's not really wanting to play that game.
00:50:56Bellamy now has a slight mouse under his right eye
00:50:58and his left eye.
00:51:04It's on forward pressure again.
00:51:06And he's sitting on his back foot,
00:51:08sitting on that right hand, open-chested stance
00:51:10from Ortho, looking to counter.
00:51:12There's the left hand.
00:51:13Hard explosion to make a left hand
00:51:15in that sequence from Bataan.
00:51:17And Bellamy looks very confused at this point.
00:51:19He doesn't know when to throw.
00:51:20Every time he does, he gets countered.
00:51:22Big right hand from Bataan.
00:51:2535 seconds remaining in round 2.
00:51:27Bataan is really on point.
00:51:29This is methodical at the moment for Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:51:32Very measured in his movements,
00:51:34very measured in his punches.
00:51:36And he's still sitting on his back foot.
00:51:38There's the right hand.
00:51:39There is the counter.
00:51:41And we are in one knockdown apiece.
00:51:43Here comes the mandatory eight count from Andrew Glenn.
00:51:46Somebody's getting off the canvas to win this fight.
00:51:48My favorite thing.
00:51:50That is exactly what Maxine Bellamy has been looking for
00:51:53throughout round number two, and he landed clean.
00:51:56They said both these guys are not trying to touch each other.
00:51:59They're trying to put each other out with every shot.
00:52:01We are through two rounds.
00:52:06I think Bellamy really needed that.
00:52:09I felt like Bataan was really starting to take control.
00:52:24And both guys throwing hard shots.
00:52:27Just a straight counter.
00:52:30They said both these guys are throwing with full power every time.
00:52:35Bataan tried to get up, put his hands up,
00:52:37set on fire, but he didn't matter.
00:52:39The damage was done.
00:52:40He got knocked down.
00:52:53I'm going to step in.
00:52:59Round three.
00:53:00Round three.
00:53:01Already up to scratch, Maxine Bellamy.
00:53:03Now up to scratch, Eunice Emery Bataan.
00:53:05Andrew Glenn starts round number three.
00:53:08Step off and scratch to start the third round.
00:53:11Maxine Bellamy.
00:53:12And that gave Bellamy some confidence.
00:53:14He knows all he has to do is land a good punch,
00:53:16and he can knock his opponent down.
00:53:17He's coming forward to land that shot.
00:53:20Every time he does it, he opens himself up
00:53:22to the quick and crisp count.
00:53:26Bataan now circling to his right, looking to count.
00:53:28And there's a left to the body from Bellamy.
00:53:31And a reset.
00:53:32The exhale from Eunice Emery Bataan.
00:53:36And a step from Bellamy.
00:53:38Maxine Bellamy now trying to come forward
00:53:40off the rangefinder jab.
00:53:42She is swelling under both of Bellamy's eyes.
00:53:46Bellamy again, sitting back on that right hand.
00:53:49That's what dropped Bataan in round number two.
00:53:54Bellamy on the stage in round number one.
00:53:56Break, break, break.
00:53:57Into the clinch.
00:53:59There's the separation with some difficulty
00:54:01by referee Andrew Glenn.
00:54:02A push away by Bellamy.
00:54:04No love lost between these fighters.
00:54:10Five seconds remaining, round number three.
00:54:12We are at 175 pounds.
00:54:16Dig in from Bataan.
00:54:17Now a bounce and a step.
00:54:22Fighters trying to use their lead hand
00:54:24with the rangefinder.
00:54:25Hard step in from Bataan.
00:54:27Then Bellamy eluding that right hand.
00:54:31Bellamy now coming forward.
00:54:39Side to side head movement.
00:54:40Bataan trying to find the entry into the midrange.
00:54:42Conduza messing with the overhand right.
00:54:44Bellamy just waiting to unload that right hand.
00:54:48Some heavy feints and heavy feet steps
00:54:50from both Bataan and Bellamy here in round number three.
00:54:59He feints again.
00:55:00There's the right hand just off the mark from Bataan.
00:55:04Jab off the mark from Maxine Bellamy
00:55:06and we are through three rounds.
00:55:11I felt like the first two rounds
00:55:12obviously very easy to call from a knockdown.
00:55:14It was much more difficult.
00:55:43Let's go.
00:55:45Let's go.
00:55:58Seconds out called.
00:55:59Here comes round number four.
00:56:00All right, round four guys.
00:56:01Round four.
00:56:02All right, here we go.
00:56:03Total line.
00:56:04Bataan knocking Bellamy in round number one.
00:56:06Bellamy dropping Bataan in round number two.
00:56:10Still hook jab landing from Maxine Bellamy
00:56:12early stages of round number four.
00:56:15Again, feints from Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:56:21See the hand fighting?
00:56:22Southpaw Bataan orthodox stance of Bellamy.
00:56:30Feinting to the body.
00:56:31Back down to the right hand.
00:56:34Good combinations being landed by Bataan.
00:56:37Bellamy now cut outside of his left brow.
00:56:40Flowing freely down his face from that cut.
00:56:4480 seconds remaining.
00:56:46Two round knockdowns.
00:56:49Bellamy jumps up immediately.
00:56:51He's got to be careful.
00:56:53Looks like his legs are underneath him.
00:56:56Step over here.
00:56:57Second knockdown of Maxine Bellamy
00:56:59recorded in this fight by Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:57:01Mandatory eight count.
00:57:02We fight on.
00:57:03Let's see if Bataan can do it.
00:57:05Heavy feinting from Bataan.
00:57:07Jab off the mark from Maxine Bellamy.
00:57:12No rush from Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:57:14We've seen absolutely no rush as well from Maxine Bellamy.
00:57:16Both fighters exceedingly poised in this bout.
00:57:20You can see Bellamy much more hesitant at this point.
00:57:25A bit of a hand trap.
00:57:26And then there's the right hand that counted from Bataan.
00:57:28He's got to be careful.
00:57:29He's got to be careful.
00:57:30He's got to be careful.
00:57:31He's got to be careful.
00:57:32He's got to be careful.
00:57:33Look at that.
00:57:34There's the right hand that counted from Bataan.
00:57:36You can just tell.
00:57:38Big shots to the inside.
00:57:40On the other hook.
00:57:42Good refereeing from Andrew Glenn on the separation.
00:57:44So you can tell that Bellamy's legs were back underneath him
00:57:46because otherwise he would have went down from that right hand.
00:57:50Closing stages.
00:57:51Round number four.
00:57:53Three knockdowns in this middleweight bout.
00:57:552-1 is the count in favor of Yunus Emre Bataan.
00:58:00See the head movement.
00:58:02Bataan still staying on the outside.
00:58:04Now to the mid-range.
00:58:05Jab to the body.
00:58:07We move to the fifth and final round.
00:58:10And you can just tell from time to time,
00:58:15Bellamy gets a little hesitant.
00:58:18Every time Bataan continues to come in with feints and combinations,
00:58:22it just seems like Bellamy's pulling back.
00:58:24He's waiting to counter at all times.
00:58:26You can't do that against this opponent.
00:58:28Bataan got inside.
00:58:29Both guys throwing.
00:58:31Somebody landed better.
00:58:36That is our crafted replay presented by Forge and Ira Stout.
00:58:43It was a little concerning how quick Bellamy jumped up.
00:58:47Sometimes when you get clipped, you need to stay down.
00:58:50You need to stay down.
00:58:51You need to stay down.
00:58:52You need to stay down.
00:58:53You need to stay down.
00:58:54You need to stay down.
00:58:55You need to stay down.
00:58:57You need to stay down for a few seconds.
00:58:58Wait until he's at five or six.
00:59:00Maybe that eight count.
00:59:01Then get back up.
00:59:02Keep your legs underneath you.
00:59:03However, Bellamy was fine.
00:59:05The global nature of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
00:59:08Yunus Emre Bataan from Turkey versus Maxime Bellamy from France.
00:59:12We're in Barbados, Spain.
00:59:13Our BKFC debut on the zone.
00:59:15Fifth and final round underway.
00:59:17You can tell right now,
00:59:19Bellamy feels like he has to do something different.
00:59:21He's got to come out and put on a show.
00:59:23He's got to try and put his opponent down.
00:59:25Accidental eye poke.
00:59:26Acknowledged by Maxime Bellamy.
00:59:28That was the brief pause.
00:59:29Right back to it.
00:59:30Bataan not asking for timeout.
00:59:32Lands that hard, stiff jab.
00:59:39Just an errant backhand,
00:59:40which is illegal under this unified rule
00:59:42set of bare knuckle fighting by Bellamy.
00:59:44Or a flail.
00:59:45A warning from referee Andrew Glenn.
00:59:47There's the duck under.
00:59:48Counter right hand.
00:59:49Bataan nearly landed that one.
00:59:50Bellamy's got to be careful.
00:59:52As he's throwing these hard punches,
00:59:53his chin is wide open.
00:59:54I think that Bataan's just waiting to counter,
00:59:56waiting to land right on the chin.
00:59:58Bellamy not landing that long jab.
01:00:03Bataan has been staying long, crisp,
01:00:05moving into the mid-range effectively,
01:00:06and then back out.
01:00:08Largely, Maxime Bellamy has tried to stay long
01:00:10and sit on that rear right hand,
01:00:12which produced his knockdown
01:00:14of Enosunder Bataan in round two.
01:00:16There's the duck under.
01:00:17A swing and a miss from both fighters.
01:00:19Overhand right.
01:00:20That was on the shoulder.
01:00:22And what a huge right hand landed by Bataan.
01:00:27Time again as we fight on.
01:00:29Bellamy seems a bit out of it right now.
01:00:33Bellamy literally stopped fighting
01:00:35and fair play to Bataan.
01:00:37That's a fight on sequence from referee Andrew Glenn.
01:00:44Left hand again.
01:00:47Big exhale from Maxime Bellamy.
01:00:4925 seconds remaining in this fight.
01:00:51Bellamy has no pop in his step anymore.
01:00:53He's pretty flat-footed.
01:00:56Bellamy missing with the lead overhand left.
01:01:02Bellamy blading his stance out.
01:01:04Hard right jab.
01:01:06Left hand again.
01:01:07Another big left hand on the inside from Bataan.
01:01:10Into the clinch.
01:01:11That looked like a headbutt from Bataan.
01:01:13There is the bell.
01:01:15And that is the end of the fight.
01:01:17It definitely looked like a headbutt.
01:01:18Maybe it was the shoulder punch.
01:01:20Either way, not sure what that was all about.
01:01:23He won the fight.
01:01:30Unasemere Bataan, Maxime Bellamy
01:01:32going the distance all five rounds.
01:01:40Just hard punches being led.
01:01:43I think that...
01:01:44That was a punch that changed the course of that round.
01:01:48As soon as Bellamy got hit with that shot,
01:01:51he totally went flat-footed.
01:01:53Looked confused, didn't know what was happening.
01:01:57Look, just turns and walks away.
01:02:02I am really impressed with the toughness of Bellamy.
01:02:05Took a lot of hard, powerful shots.
01:02:09Unasemere Bataan knocking down Maxime Bellamy.
01:02:13Rounds one and four, Bellamy knocking down Bataan
01:02:17in round number two.
01:02:21There was a weird mix, Chris, between sportsmanship
01:02:24and some rugged tactics between these two.
01:02:26This is the closing stages of the fifth and final round.
01:02:31More of a shoulder...
01:02:32More of a shoulder bump.
01:02:35If anything, couldn't tell from our angle, but...
01:02:44On November 16th, Riyadh season presents Latino Night
01:02:48with Gilberto Ramirez versus Chris Billum-Smith
01:02:51in a highly anticipated cruiserweight unification fight.
01:02:57And these two guys, very explosive, very fast.
01:03:00I feel like he's the guy who lost a lot in this bout.
01:03:04Bellamy showed a lot of toughness, a lot of good heart.
01:03:07Like I said, whenever a guy gets up off the ground,
01:03:09we absolutely love it.
01:03:10That's finally two guys showing that love.
01:03:13The fight's over, because there's a lot of times
01:03:15in that round, I didn't know that was going to happen.
01:03:17The hard shoulder bump slash attempted headbutt
01:03:20has apparently been forgiven and forgotten.
01:03:23Great sportsmanship now between Unasemere Bataan
01:03:25and Maxime Bellamy.
01:03:27There was literally no heat, no animosity
01:03:29coming in between these two fighters,
01:03:31not even a weigh-in yesterday.
01:03:33Certainly no one's expressed their respect for each other.
01:03:37A rough and rugged fight going the distance.
01:03:39Here is Jeff Houston.

01:04:12in this weight class.

01:06:09In our fighter meeting, Davis told us
01:06:11his main focus in training for this
01:06:14is BKFC debut versus Oscar Willis
01:06:16has been on cardio.
01:06:18Davis said, I want to be fit.
01:06:20I want to be able to push the pace.
01:06:22I have big belief in my stamina
01:06:24because I feel this will be a fight of adversity.
01:06:26He feels like neither guy is going to be that technical,
01:06:29so what do you have? You have cardio.
01:06:31You continue to push through.
01:06:32It feels like he did a lot of hard sparring.
01:06:34He worked a lot on his defense.
01:06:36It feels like he has to get in there, be more bladed,
01:06:39focus on not getting hit, and push the pace.
01:06:41Davis also told us,
01:06:43I'm going to use a very bladed stance.
01:06:45I have to be tight with my defense.
01:06:47I'm going to keep working body-to-head,
01:06:49head-to-body versus Oscar Willis.
01:06:51He wants to make sure he's not letting his opponent
01:06:53get comfortable.
01:06:55He wants to make sure he's not letting punches
01:06:57be countered by his opponent's combinations.

01:07:18Dee Englishman from Pittsburgh,
01:07:20now based in Las Vegas.

01:07:48I want to be on the front foot
01:07:50continually
01:07:52and set a very high pace throughout this fight.
01:07:54Sharp jabs,
01:07:56hard rights to the head and body
01:07:58of Ben Davis.
01:08:00Willis said he's definitely willing to trade,
01:08:02but he cannot lose his composure.
01:08:04He can't just jump in there and start swinging wildly.
01:08:06He's got to make sure he's being smart
01:08:08as he trades.
01:08:10Willis said, I want to stay long and explode in
01:08:12off of one-one-twos.
01:08:14I'm more focused on clean punches
01:08:16than I am on power punches,
01:08:18but it's that in-and-out motion.
01:08:20You have to get in, land those shots,
01:08:22and get right back out, stay defensive.
01:08:24Back to the ring, and Jeff Houston.

01:09:50Dan Hooker in the corner of Oscar
01:09:52Willis. Willis told us,
01:09:54I believe Ben Davis will be very aggressive
01:09:56at the start of this fight, but Willis said,

01:10:14That was a good...
01:10:16Good job by Ben Davis, he took a hard shot
