generating a lot of power he’s upped his weight as well last time we saw him it was 182 pounds he’s beats up to 190 no partying extremely focused living a disciplined lifestyle I’m really trying to make something out of himself because he feels that this could be a huge opportunity and he feels like he’s the perfect fit for this kind of problems and you can see that he has the powers six highest imp packed power of anybody on this card not too shabby for a middleweight when you’re going up against light heavyweights and heavyweights in the measurements tenacious Travis Aragon ready to roll Reese one punch Archer making an entrance this is another guy with some MMA experience 35 combined amateur and pro fights and boxing and MMA he had a rough time growing up in Battle Creek Michigan oh man I mean talk about another statement Don I mean he was abandoned as an infant dad is impressive his mommy said his words probably still smoking crack in and out of boys homes his entire life until 21 years old and then at 18 he became a father and that really changed his perspective on life gave him some real motivation to change his ways and to not repeat history now as you said lots of Combat Sports Experience 25 amateur fights 10 Pro fights he’s done fair enough for fighting you name it recharger has been involved with it the man’s a natural loves to deliver a shot and he can’t wait to get his hands on Travis Arizona said he hasn’t ever held down a job for a long time very motivated to make something out of this slap fighting career especially here in powerslide yeah I asked him so what do you actually do for a living He said I’m an entrepreneur and that just goes to Joe anytime somebody says I’m an entrepreneur come on listen we all know you ain’t got a job you don’t know really what you’re doing but researching now he’s here to really make something out of this he feels this is a massive opportunity the nice Deal started this place is filling up the atmosphere is electric the numbers of social media through the roof and recharge it is putting on a show and I can’t wait for this to get going look at this you know he does have the MMA background but he’s not wearing shoes he’s the only slap fighter I’ve seen and we we’ve called a number of these since the exhibition to the March who’s come out with no shoes researcher won the toss a slight underdog brought to you by 10x 10x your business 10x your income 10x your life go to cardoneventures.com researcher with the height advantage over Travis Aragon and a four inch reach Advantage as well despite that he is a slight very slight Underdog to the man from Trinidad Colorado and he’s wearing those shoes gonna be very interested to see how this affects researcher never seen that before let’s send it Justin Bernard ladies and gentlemen this match is three rounds in the power slap middleweight division introducing to you first out of the blue corner he stands five feet seven inches tall weighing in at 184.5 pounds out of Trinidad Colorado tenacious Travis [Music] and now striking out of the Red Corner he stands six feet tall weighing in at 184 pounds out of Battle Creek Michigan Reese one punch Archer [Music] and when the action begins your referee in charge Carrie Hadley the winner of the coin toss and striking first is Rhys Archer so research you’re gonna go first remember now here we go percent Center of power slap matches on the first slap what hand see if that happens here both men left on one mixed martial arts experience measure [Music] and knocks out loud [Applause] remember he’s not wearing shoes that’s going to be a point deduction fouls I’ll kill you a step before he even through he’s stepping all over the place yeah oh he stepped crazy listen I thought straight away when you highlighted that no shoes let me tell you the canvas it could be pretty slippy that’s why people wet the canvas sometimes in mixed martial arts to get a little bit of retraction from the one point having stepping one point Reds one point red stepping without question made a mistake though big mistake and he’s already one point down so what does that mean all that means is that Travis Aragon with his first slap here in the first round he could literally just go up and give him a love tap he’s gonna win the round now in all likelihood it’s not going to be a love type because you’ve just got slapped in the face measure what was that he tried to roll with it they’re going to call flinching you want another snap okay so he gets out to slap again you want another slap he’s like yeah okay so what he tried to do is What fighters do he tried to roll with the slack but he went to work way too early so I spoke to some of them is a technique but you’ve got to be microscopic with the timing it is all right you gotta watch Flint’s one point red flinching one point red flinching one point red flinching that is a 10-7 round wow so that’s complete domination fouls are huge all of these guys when we talked to him and them in our fighter meetings talked about the fact how they they needed to get the technique down they needed to be accurate the first thing they wanted to focus on working between strikes and then they can focus on power because what happens is 20 seconds let’s go you let the aggression take over and that is why experience researcher needs to get in control of his body stepping stepping son of a there’s no way you can win this if you’re gonna stop every slap look at this one point red one point red stepping oh I mean that is it’s blatant he doing real damage to Aragon but every single time right hand on one I mean that’s four point deductions correct yes there’s that many it’s hard to keep track of let me try this measure foul red fledging he rolled again I don’t understand this this is not the first time researchers this is his third warning planting good job at this point research you just have to close his eyes and just let what will be measured he closed the eyes but he started rolling with it too early red another one point red one point red flinching you do [Music] I really feel for researcher but listen it was a strategic error not to wear shoes yeah he really was you know we Sergeant we spoke to him this week is a very nice guy he was here for a big opportunity you know he said he wants to change the world change his life we talked about the extremely humble beginnings where he comes from this is a very very disappointing night for him on the flip side Travis Aragon he goes on the winner he won this about fair and square but I’m sure he would have preferred to win it the good old-fashioned way if you know what I’m saying I know exactly what you’re saying Mr biss being a very disappointing performance for researcher and engaging young man very easy to root for yep Travis Aragon came in and did exactly what he needs to do and he’s got the message and I don’t know if we mentioned this yet but he reigns with Robert Trujillo who won the first fight so these guys who train together are going to be the winners let’s take a look at these shots I mean look at that race Archer flinching last week I mean
