00:00All right, gentlemen, we've been over the rules.
00:12Protect yourself at all times.
00:14Follow my instructions.
00:15Keep it clean.
00:16Touch gloves if you wish.
00:17Let's do it.
00:19Sweaty pumps.
00:20This is so crazy.
00:22Like goosebumps.
00:24This is so crazy.
00:25I feel so nervous.
00:27Like, what in the world, man?
00:29And look at, look at, look at Jorge.
00:31Talking to him.
00:32Usman is stoic, though.
00:34Ready.
00:35All right, the UFC welterweight championship is underway.
00:40Jorge Masvidal in the red trunks.
00:42Kamaru Usman in the black and gold as befits a champion.
00:48Usman had a beautiful jab against Gilbert Burns,
00:50and then he would switch to southpaw and land the front hand jab.
00:54His power hand, that's what he finished Burns with.
00:56Let's see how quickly he switches his stance tonight
00:58against Masvidal, a much higher level striker.
01:02Masvidal is so slippery on his feet.
01:05He's so slick.
01:10Taron Woodley once caught him, the best boxer in the UFC,
01:12seems to be attacking that lead leg of Usman early.
01:14And just a stand-up role,
01:16Masvidal is a handful for anybody, man.
01:19Technique is tight.
01:20Everything comes from where it's supposed to be.
01:23Comfortably confident is Jorge game-bred Masvidal.
01:27And he's tremendously durable.
01:29We've never really seen him hurt,
01:31never really seen him in deep trouble inside the octagon.
01:33Oh, he just got stung.
01:36Nice right hand by Usman.
01:39But Masvidal ate it.
01:42Usman has a beautiful right hand, man.
01:45It doesn't seem fast, but it always seems to land.
01:48And he can put you out.
01:49You saw him break down Colby Covington with that shot
01:52over the course of five rounds
01:53and put him down and finished him in the fifth.
01:56We also have to recognize
01:57that he's getting better as a striker.
01:59His background is in wrestling.
02:00But over the course of his career inside the octagon,
02:04we've seen him get more and more efficient
02:06and smooth with his striking.
02:08And he's been coached
02:09by two of the best striking minds in the game.
02:11Henry Hoefton, now Trevor Whitman,
02:13as Usman effectively attacks the body there.
02:15Usman's doing a real good job with his jab right now.
02:18And he's mixing up the target on that jab
02:20to the body and to the head.
02:22Twice now he's landed that beautiful right hand.
02:26The heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou
02:30in the corner of Kamaru Usman.
02:33He leaves for Cameroon tomorrow
02:35to celebrate his world title.
02:37He'd like to get on that plane,
02:39having had his guy come through.
02:41You know, Kamaru Usman has such a great high crotch
02:45to your left leg
02:46that when he dips on that body jab,
02:48you've got to respect it
02:49and be ready to defend takedowns.
02:51Because if you don't,
02:52that'll just gonna happen.
02:53Powerful takedown early for Usman.
02:58Beautiful takedown by Usman.
03:00Got to the body
03:01and just exploded into that takedown finish.
03:04Now he's in the guard of Masvidal.
03:09He's hitting the back of the head here.
03:11He heard Dean's movements.
03:12Masvidal likes to get feet on the hips
03:23and push you off.
03:28But he's very good defensively off of his back.
03:31But he can cut you from this position as well.
03:35Yeah, some slicing elbows from Masvidal
03:38on his back under two minutes now in round one.
03:40But Usman's happy here.
03:42Usman's fine with being on top here.
03:45That was a big elbow.
03:46Big elbow there by Usman.
03:48Because this is his comfort zone in the wrestling.
03:51He's on top.
03:51He's grappling.
03:53That is where he wants to be against Masvidal.
03:56Masvidal landed a beautiful elbow right there.
03:58He did.
03:59Those are hard elbows.
04:00And from a good angle for him.
04:02And now Gainbred trying to use the fence to get upright.
04:12Nice stand-up there by Masvidal,
04:14but he's got to move Usman's hand inside.
04:16As long as Usman's head is on the outside,
04:19Masvidal will not be able to get away from him.
04:21If he starts to use his right arm
04:23to shift the head inside,
04:24then he can start to face him again.
04:26But Gainbred is so strong, man.
04:30So physically gifted for the weight class.
04:32Great hand control by Masvidal
04:34to get back up.
04:37Under a minute now to go in the round.
04:39Usman back to work to the body.
04:40Inside leg kick for Gainbred.
04:41Big right hand by Masvidal, by Usman.
04:46That was, oh, that was.
04:47Good jab, too.
04:54See, and that's where Usman looks a little bit.
04:57That's where you can see the inexperience of the striking, right?
04:59When he tries to load up, when he's comfortable,
05:01and he's letting everything fly.
05:02He lands, but like right there, right?
05:04You see a little bit of the striking experience
05:06because Usman loads up in his wild.
05:08But I think he tightens up a little bit
05:11when he faces a guy like Jorge, who's so efficient.
05:19But he's done a good job of landing, right?
05:21Usman's landed the punches.
05:23This one.
05:23Punch.
05:24Oh!
05:25That's not me.
05:26Appearing to get through.
05:27Beautiful knee there by Masvidal.
05:29Dean Thomas, talk to me, my man.
05:40What do you have?
05:41Going down to the body with that jab.
05:43That jab is going to pay its dividends later on in the fight.
05:46Also, too, that's also set up the right hand for him.
05:49But be careful with the leg kicks of Masvidal.
05:51Usman doesn't have a lot of meat around them legs.
05:53He's going to try to use that
05:54to set up some shots later on in the fight.
05:57So watch the leg kicks from Masvidal.
05:59Thank you, Dean.
05:59You saw the live odds there a moment ago.
06:01A little bit closer than they were at the start of the fight.
06:10In terms of those low leg kicks,
06:11a lot of fighters say it's just toughness.
06:13It doesn't have to do with genetics necessarily.
06:15But you don't want to take too many more of those.
06:18Even watching Masvidal in the first round, right?
06:21Masvidal didn't have to rush like he did in the first fight
06:24because he had to empty the tank in round one
06:26because he knew he only had a round of cardio.
06:29This time he was able to fight through round one
06:31and he still feels good and confident in round two.
06:37And the ball, the superlative.
06:39Oh!
06:41Closed with a huge shot!
06:43Camaro's right hand is ridiculous!
06:54My goodness!
06:55My goodness!
06:56Usma's right hand is ridiculous.
06:58He's done the all in with it.
07:00Holy smokes!
07:02My goodness!
07:03Case closed.
07:04He wanted finality.
07:05That was insane.
07:06He wanted closure, Joey.
07:07That was insane.
07:08That's finality right there.
07:09We have never seen that.
07:11They can't talk about those two fighting anymore.
07:14Usman slapped him.
07:15My goodness.
07:16The last time Masvidal was finished,
07:17it was an inverted reverse triangle choke in 2009.
07:22But he's asking right now what happened.
07:24He doesn't know what happened.
07:26He took the first couple.
07:27But you can't take punches like that from a guy like Camaro Usman.
07:30He's questioning his corner right now.
07:32He doesn't believe it.
07:33Unbelievable.
07:35Well, we already knew he was the best of the world at 170 pounds.
07:40More affirmation tonight.
07:41And with Khabib Nurmagomedov retired,
07:43Johnny Bones hasn't fought in a while,
07:45that man looks like the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now.
07:48Tamaez.
07:49They thought that Masvidal to have a chance,
07:52it had to be a stand-up fight.
07:53Usman beat him in a stand-up fight.
07:55Knocked him out cold.
07:56Knocked him out cold.
07:57I can't wait to see this again.
07:59Let's take a look at it.
08:00Please give us a replay.
08:01A lot of mutual respect between these two combatants,
08:06despite the rivalry.
08:07This fight replay brought to you by Neveroff,
08:08old character since 1872.
08:14Here it is.
08:18Oh, my God.
08:19Oh, my God.
08:20Oh, man.
08:21That is so perfect.
08:22Oh, my goodness.
08:23Hey, it's literally the perfect right hand.
08:26And look, he is out completely cold.
08:29There's no question whatsoever what happened.
08:31Oh, my goodness.
08:32Look at that.
08:33Look at how limp he is when he goes down.
08:34Whole body went limp.
08:35I mean, perfect punch.
08:37He tried to wake up.
08:39Look, watch.
08:40After it hits.
08:41Boom!
08:42Look it.
08:43He's out cold.
08:44Look.
08:45You see him try to get up.
08:46He's trying here.
08:47Hammer fist got it.
08:48And the hammer fist shut the lights out for good.
08:50You know...
08:51Insane.
08:52You know, John said...
08:54Kamara said he wants to show a better version.
08:56Guess what, John?
08:57He's better.
08:58And boy, that's a scary thought.
08:59It doesn't get better.
09:00That's a scary thought.
09:01How can you...
09:02How can you get better?
09:08Few grown men there who really enjoy their...
09:10Oh, my goodness.
09:11...jobs.
09:12That was insane.
09:13That was insane.
09:14Crazy.
09:15Insane.
09:16And what a night for that team and that head coach...
09:20Oh, my goodness.
09:21Trevor effing Whitman.
09:23Oh, my God.
09:24Two spectacular knockouts.
09:26Hey, we've been talking about...
09:27Both in the first round.
09:29Both out of nowhere.
09:30And this is what it's all about, right?
09:32Yeah.
09:33For Usman and his daughter.
09:34That's what it's all about, man.
09:36This dude loves and lives for his family.
09:39Ladies and gentlemen, referee Herd Dean has called a stop to this contest.
