thank you received your instructions protect yourself with all tonsils from my commands Of All Times touch guards if you like let’s fight Deep Roots and arrows on both sides Henry sahuto and Dominic Cruz fighting tonight for the UFC bantamweight championship of the world [Applause] [Music] sir are you ready sir are you ready fight and we are underway Dominic Cruz is in white Henry sahuto in the black and gold befitting a champion really interesting to see what Henry suhuto is going to do to deal with the movement and the footwork of Cruz I gotta be honest like just getting ready for a championship fight no crowd or anything my heart’s still beating just as fast as it would have been beating yeah if they had a crowd in here it feels the same oh yeah you know how big the fight is yeah have you like kick early from sahuto Joe Cruz had suggested that sahuto was training to fight Jose Aldo who’s a linear Striker and Dom is anything but with his figure eight style what do you think about preparing for a guy like Dom for the way he moves it’s a big difference but you know the way Henry sahuto prepares I mean they’re incredibly meticulous I’m sure they’ve considered the Dominic oh that’s a beautiful leg kick there that Dominic was going to be a potential Challenger I’m sure that was in the in the future I mean it’s a big money fight for him Dom’s a big name and if he wants to be considered one of the greatest Banning weights of all time he has to beat Dominic Cruz right you have to go through Dominic Cruz he’s the guy Dom’s been the guy since the beginning of this division foreign TJ chopped at his legs and was pretty successful with it at the end of the fight actually had him limping cruising perpetual motion trying to create an angle here about two minutes gone by around one of a possible five [Music] to level change Bruce goes High [Music] a lot of questions surrounding Dominic Cruz coming in as he lost the step having not competed since 2016. nice knee from Cruz this is where he said you would see a lot of Henry’s Improvement was on the top they said when he was getting takedowns in Camp he was doing really good at controlling guys Cruz was able to escape very quickly there all right Dominic’s legs are getting too ready yeah he’s getting those legs getting beat up early well Henry’s not just throwing those he’s throwing those with evil intentions I mean every one of those leg kicks is nasty right almost like he’s trying to kick across both legs you’re absolutely right two minutes here to go in round one across the ball Cruz did talk a lot about filling out these first 10 minutes before trying to take control of the fight in the middle rounds again another interesting consideration is that sahudo since he’s competed for so long as a flyweight is used to faster guys he’s used to guys like Mighty Mouse he’s used to guys like Lewis and Hayes [Music] Eddie Shaw in the corner of Henry sahuto enjoying some of that action from his pupil one thing Triple C said to us last Friday his ability to connect the Mind and Body in a championship combat setting is what sets him apart he is not an emotional fighter he has shown that man across his entire career but I feel like today Dominic Cruz is the biggest challenge he’s ever seen he’s never seen nothing like this but he’s performing so well yeah he’s fighting well right now thank you but like you said John Don Dom said you know he takes some time to try to figure things out Dom loaded up just missed pseudo did not miss with a left hand again just chopping at those legs yeah very good shot from Cruz keep walking him back just like that another one maybe a clash of heads there every time Dom changes levels like he’s gonna shoot sahuro really does sprawl hard our changes his level down quick he does not want to get taken down by Dominic Cruz a strong start for the champion here we see the the leg kicks of Henry sahuda and he’s throwing everything in look at the wind up in these and look Dominic tries to jump over with his first leg but sahuto hits it with the second leg big Power and those leg kicks really trying to take away the movement of Dominic Cruz as much film as Dominic Cruz eats when he’s calling fights he doesn’t watch film for his own fights really entrust that to Eric Del Fierro who told him after round one it’s a fight you got to get mean well that’s part of having that long time relationship with your coach you know and trusting him completely that’s what Dom does with Eric is one of the unheralded Geniuses of the sport you know what likes to stay outside the spotlight but brilliant mind for MMA and I think when you have a pupil like Dominic Cruz that develops that mind for fighting that does come from where you learn you know your coach has plays a part in that Cody garbrandt the only man to beat Dominic Cruz in this weight class he’s never been finished as a mixed martial arts Pro by knockout just a submission by favor back in the day at featherweight to the body sahura has a real kick heavy attack today knowing how hard it would be to hit Dominick Cruz because he moves so different this connects on the calf of sahudo nice kick by Dom that’s two of them and if you remember sudo had a lot of trouble in his fight with DJ and also to fight against Marla Mirage with the leg kicks yeah particularly the the Marlon Mirage fight in that first round oh boy leg Oland partial Connection by sahuda with the right hand after Cruz had landed hey Dominator [Music] chopping at those legs chopping wood man trying to slow down Dominic Cruz what’s up I’m starting to work don’t stop yourself down let’s go watch your feet Cruise wise to that level change from Henry suhuto less than three minutes here to go round two said he started just fighting he has to make sure he doesn’t do that today because right now it seems as though he’s a little behind here right in the middle that was beautiful beautiful inside leg oh nice combination nice combo by Dom and Eric delphier on the coaches want him to follow that up but his hands are starting to find the range now if he can get Henry cejudo to start getting emotional oh beautiful kick there by Henry we get Henry to start leaving openings because he’s trying to make something happen oh he heard him there with that right hand Dom connected with a very good right hand there oh nice right here a lot of heavy leather being thrown and landed here round two Tony Ferguson Justin gaichi waiting in the wings [Applause] sahudo with a pretty right hand there sahudo 2018 inductee into the national Wrestling Hall of Fame [Music] is very fast man but this round is anybody’s wrong to this point beautiful inside load kick there very nice that one appeared against sahuto’s attention shot from Henry and he pales on it a lot of times he’s grabbing the leg just to get close enough to punch Cruise looks good this movement looks good he’s fighting a much better second round than he did in the first round [Music] but Henderson is still on this game right now beautiful Left Hand by Dom after going for the single [Music] precise once you react to this that hot back look like a clash of heads and Keith Peterson immediately steps between the two athletes so some adversity here for Henry we’ll take a look at it look at it quick it’s the second time at least that they’ve collided heads well Dom’s moving at a different different angles you know he’s moving dipping dodging accidents all right it’s not it’s not in a bad spot it’s in the forehead excellent it’s in the hairline so let’s watch your heads there’s a clash of heads that’s it right here right here watch your heads watch heads all right so late here round two we’ll see oh nice left hand cut man’s got some work to do on sahuto oh dumb um [Applause] Defense number one I don’t know about that stoppage he did get hurt with the knee but he looked like he was trying to defend himself he was just trying to get back up he was trying to get back up it didn’t look like he was out that’s for sure we need to look at how many shots landed though also well let’s take a look at it real quick see here we see oh that’s good he got hurt for sure yeah and look at this boom he gets hit with a big hand punch punch punch punch Dominic scrambling um I don’t know Joe it looked like but he was getting he was trying that moment right those first few it looked like he was hitting him but then when Dom started trying to get up is when the ref got in there which is very odd well it’s unfor I think he was already going to stop the fight because the shots before that and then Dom was trying to get back up but looking at it in in hindsight looking at it now especially slow motion he was hurt right but then clearly right as he was stepping in Dom was starting to get up but you know look Henry did everything he had to do he nailed him with the big shot look at that beautiful right hand he hits with all these left hands and Dom scrambling he’s trying to get back up he’s clearly getting rocked it’s it’s closer but you’ve got to err on the side of the athlete and and the side of safety so it all becomes the first man in the books to finish Dominic Cruz at 135 pounds to make this one official here’s Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen referee Keith Peterson has called a stop to this contest at four minutes 58 seconds of round number two declaring the winner by TKO and still the Undisputed UFC that’s a great champion of the world Andrea Triple C sahoo oh
