thank you it all comes down to this the UFC’s bantamweight belt is vacant it will not be in less than a half hour round one of a possible five to determine the best 135 pound mixed martial artist in the world [Applause] magic Marlin but ice is in yellow Henry cejudo in the black and gold moriz has huge legs he’s a he’s a strong guy and the power he has substantial his last three flights have lasted a combined 457 all of them finishes all against Elite competition and the thing is he’s so good on the ground he can kick with no worries if you take him down I mean he is a submission killer oh man beautiful step in left hook Henry’s gonna have to throw something if he wants to he’s gonna have to earn the respect in the rice rice is just going at him right now Henry hasn’t thrown anything back at him yet he’s gonna have to go here’s a nice leg kick wow Ed by more eyes nice counter from sahuto oh man beautiful catch and return Marlin has done that twice where he’s trying to look low and kick High [Applause] the speed with which he throws those legs is incredible and he’s just opening up with letting you know any one of these can separate you from your consciousness and he seems very calm and relaxed in there and confident right he seems very confident in front of this fight in front of his opponent yeah it’s very recent trouble he’s in trouble with that leg already and the the difference is that Henry doesn’t have the kind of power with his kicks than Marlin does Henry can hurt you with his hands but he’s got to get close enough and on the outside Marlon is chewing him up well think about it already right he’s landed low kick down at the calf one at the five he’s throwing one high he’s giving him he’s hitting every Target every Target that’s out there Marlins trying to attack and he seemed so settled there it is again hard one Henry got a hold of leg and he gets it out easy but ice does not have an Olympic gold medal in Freestyle Wrestling but has been training with Elite wrestlers Frankie Edgar among them for years and years was not too worried about getting taken down and kept there tonight that camp that he trains out of has some real killers he’s a Beat and already Henry switches stances and the one thing that Henderson has really done since he went on this run as he fought in that karate type of stance he can’t really do that with my rights because rice is blasting them with leg kicks so now he’s more in a traditional boxer type of fight stance you know boxer wrestler and what’s gotten them success has been his ability to be different he’s also switching stances now which opens him up for that big Power kick but ice did have some issues with the Southpaw John Dodson perhaps that’s the way to go for cejudo tonight Henry doesn’t have an answer right now and he’s got to come up with one and he’s gotta do something that changes the course of what’s happening right now because right now he’s getting picked apart he hasn’t many throw he hasn’t thrown many strikes to start this round to start this fight sorry and again that inside leg kick and again I mean look at his left his left leg already on the outside the inside of the right legs and start looking at like that too very soon he takes any Mortals inside kicks not only did malice win a major title outside the UFC defended it five times about as long on Championship experience as anyone ever crossed into the UFC nice body to the body and as I was saying we were leading up to this fight when we would see him win so spectacularly you wondered how he would look against world-class Fighters and the answer is better yeah I mean he’s grown since he’s gotten in the UFC he’s better than he was before good defense there catches the punch oh again so fast trying to really just now engage him a little bit really bite down on the mouthpiece and try to earn Marlon’s respect he’s gonna have to do that at some point and even when Morris dropped his UFC debut at Rafael Sons I didn’t change anything chalked it up to a bad night and it has been all systems go ever since 10 seconds now to go in round one [Applause] [Music] in round number one you see Henry throw his kick Maurice Connors were punches to Judo Collins with punches in the high kick inside leg kick right hand behind it and then again big step into the leg kick so who knows asking this corner already get the ice on the left leg so he’s already starting to feel the damage of the rice kicks very very early in a 25 minute fight Santino defranco’s really been a calming influence in that Henry sahuto Corner gives him a lot of confidence on Fight Night we’ll see if sojudo can do what his coach has asked here early round two he’s asking him to move into punching range but the problem that I see is I don’t think he has an advantage there either he just landed a nice left hook there I feel again you got to be very careful we just saw this in the last fight you know he’s done so much damage to the legs when he’s looking down if Henry’s not careful the high kick will land now Henry’s trying to put that pressure on him the question is are his legs compromised can can he move correctly now Henry clipped him if Marlin smiling which tells you that he felt it yeah he’s moving his mouth around Marty got clipped in the jaw [Music] wow but ice continues to attack that lower half so judo’s done a pretty good job raising the guard up top but but ice does not discriminate the way he’s eating those low kicks you could only take so many of them oh take that one to the Head so little load it up on that right hand but ice able to avoid it Henry though fighting much more relaxed than during the early portions of his UFC career Lansing spinning attack well he’s having more success now yes he is putting pressure on him and he has hit him with some good punches I think he got his respect with that left hook just one takedown attempt for sahuto through seven minutes Bryce is controlling this fight with just kicks and nobody’s really landed great shots with the hands kicks of marlin is really dictating the fight and there is no question him though which is good at the smaller Mass pressure is key so Judo touches that lead leg and what ice who thinks man another one oh it’s not all right and he’s choosing to fight primarily Southpaw because of the damage to the left leg and meanwhile he’s getting chewed up on the right leg as well and you don’t have to start switching more just more and more switches right [Applause] oh man Henry with a kick there penny with a punch oh oh he’s caught him on the top of the head there oh another big right for cerudo I mean he’s swinging but that’s what he needs to do right he has to get some respect for the rice back to back big rights from sahuto is standing there with him and he could get clipped here he’s using good defense and he’s moving well but he’s in danger Todd’s starting to turn a little bit here oh good uppercut oh saludo bloodied on that right side saludo’s having way more success this round though [Applause] this is good for Henry Henry’s saying forget this technical fight we’re just gonna fight and he always having success he caught him in an uppercut [Applause] ice has slowed down a little bit here [Applause] [Music] has decided [Applause] Marlon’s in trouble rice easily stuffed by sahuto who goes to the body with the knee Marlin might be stunned those are big knees by Henry this is a total different round oh my goodness this is how you answer if you’re Henry sahuto just make it a fight oh Henry’s a little hurt nice deep breath give me a deep breath give me a deep breath your mother what did your mother do to raise you she scraped every time every day and worked hard to get you to fight you understand what I’m saying look at me about what your mother did let’s go I’m rocking that last punch stop going wide and go inside four they’re gonna tell him to shoot this way look at me please stop counter and why counter inside listen to me the biggest thing don’t put your damn head down here’s a big leg kick from arise and there’s a right hand from sahuda that one landed look at this knee boom on the chin knee to the body another one here’s the end of the round [Applause] that right there might have hurt Henry it looked like he buckled but I’ll tell you what Henry Sudo is a hell of a chance and he’s yeah he’s so tough man he knows how to win he’s a winner and he made big adjustments in that second round [Applause] hello these Arizona boys are tough the nice loads up on it Mark Henry was telling Marlin stop countering wide Connor is straight he’s loading up so Henry’s just walking him down [Applause] [Music] here’s another thought Marlon Morris cuts a lot of weight yep how much is that going to defect his cardio and is he slowing down right now because it appears he is oh so who knows put the crazy Pace on him too yeah well a lot of people felt like sahuto once he moved up to 135 pounds would do his best work did make his UFC debut as a bantamweight but this is our first sight of sahudo against the truly Elite animal yeah he had some problems cutting weight earlier in his bantamweight career but then got it dialed in oh Marlin is in front of him now but I saw it on the exchange look at me can you see me perfectly well look at me Marlo you’re good all right hey Marlon is busted up hello just on the push away that’s all no no no yep no that’s a punch clean punch there’s a punch to the eye that did that well I think we missed the uh it was on the break after they were starting to separate he’s saying that he got him when they were separated with a body shot oh nice combination [Applause] he’s got to get out of that clinch he can’t let Henry Clinton make that fight for Henry that is spectacular [Applause] he gets that tie clinch and he has Marlin wrapped up and Marlon seems paralyzed he doesn’t know what to do he’s just blocking right he’s just blocking it’s not enough yeah he’s just blocking with his arms oh no wow he needs to be trying to clear that dig underhooks to change the position this is going to be a this one’s gonna be a war of attrition when it comes down to the end however long this goes it’s going to be who can keep the pace who can work the hardest over the course of this last 12 and a half minutes the thing is how much has Marlin slowed down and what is he feeling right now because this this is a very different Marlin Mirage in that first round and he’s eating some big knees to the body which is going to accelerate that he already looked at the clock he’s looking at the clock already John uh Joe sir oh he’s good submitted he got him he’s not even fighting the hands though Joe he’s not even fighting hands he’s trying to get out of this he’s exhausted rice is exhausted Henry sudo Henry the big need of the body perfectly legal under two minutes to go round three and that comes from that high level rust and that comes from beating Demetrius Johnson over 25 minutes there’s just an ability to relax in the face of severe adversity that’s Carrie Henderson right now what an adjustment he made but she’s amazing too great point [Applause] and now it looks like he’s winning oh he’s winning he won round two and now he’s beat Marlon Morris in round three no he doesn’t have the strength for it Marlin is exhausted he’s getting beat up big hammer fish from Soto Miles trying to take a break here just trying to rest [Applause] yeah see the numbers [Applause] oh nice elbow by sahuto come on and I mean you try to take breaks but there are better places to rest than on the bottom getting squeezed [Music] under 30 seconds round three and Marlon Rises right in front of Mark Henry his coach and he really can’t do anything he’s exhausted he can’t even defend himself his fight is about to get stopped big elbows oh man I thought the referee was gonna stop it oh he is that’s it get him a second belt wow it’s the UFC bantamweight champion did it what a comeback I mean what a comeback from that first round it looks like the loss was inevitable Henry turns it around completely in the second round and then stops Mirage in round one he was getting outclassed unbelief completely changed it and finished him in the third round just stunning I mean what a performance by Henry sehudo when was the last time you ever saw someone getting that worked in the first round of a championship fight and then completely turning around the second and third you saw the mindset change though you saw okay this is not gonna work me standing out here I’m just gonna go get this dude I’m just gonna go fight him and look at him he can barely walk you saw him get up he’s stumbling his legs are clearly compromised unbelievable and that very well might be the greatest Combat Sports athlete resume wise of all time how do you argue against it at this point I mean Olympic gold medalist two Division World Champion gets worked in the first round comes back to stop the guy in the third I mean just Sensational turnaround by Henry sahuto unreal mental toughness and the ability to make an adjustment that really defines a true champion I mean just said it’s not working imma just go get him imma just make him fight me and I’m gonna make him work so hard that he’s gonna melt in front of me and that’s exactly what Henry sahuto did what a fantastic performance this young man has had so many great moments and I’m not sure any of them we’ll match this and he wants to make his UFC debut at UFC 177 August of 2014 was forced to withdraw on weigh-in day told Sean Shelby he was going to retire you fast forward five years not only has he stayed in the game he is at at the top of the game Henry sahuto your simultaneous flyweight and bantamweight champion one final time tonight here is Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen referee Mark Goddard has called a stop to this contest at four minutes 51 seconds of round number three declaring the winner by TKO [Applause] [Music] Henry a messenger [Applause]
