foreign this matchup between number three Marlon mud ice who will enter the minus 155 favorite and after tearing his ACL last December having a rehab said rehab was his new martial art in 2020 for Rob font he’s back in the Octagon good to see him back as a small underdog oh heavy action right away very very smart for Marlon Morris but as you said he told his ACL he’s been rehabbing for a year he’s been doing a lot of BJJ or watching a lot of BJJ tape on BJJ fanatic so but that was a really smart bedroom move by Marlon Rob’s probably expecting you know a banking stand-up fight and just put it down wasn’t expecting that I’m sure Marlon but ice is a lifer in the fight game Muay Thai as a child and one of the best and now look at here he’s jumping trying to lock up the neck here yeah Marlin’s got a really good tight guillotine Rob’s gonna be careful here but he doesn’t have him yep he doesn’t have him in the guard it’s very easy for Rob to defend there because of where he had Marlon now he’s got Marlon in a really weird position you’re kind of a cradle yeah he’s got him in the Cradle here up against the side of the octagon now Rob switches to the single leg great job by Robin to the body nice trying to lift him once again we have not seen Marlon wrestle this much since he’s gotten into the UFC and you always wondered because he is such a high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt why but now he is and it looks like he’s got the game plan to keep following his back ninth UFC appearance for Marlon but ice this is the first time he’s not two takedowns in a fight he’s done so inside of two minutes and you know what I’m gonna say this and it’s with respect you know you will go for takedowns when you get caught with a spinning wheel kicking you fight before that you know what I’m saying early two against San Diego yeah sure you know there’s no description great kick but if you’re you’re wrestling your opponents taking them down trying to submit them that’s not going to happen you know there’s always a little bit of nerves when you’re coming back from the stoppage like that now I’m not saying that he’s uh he was gun show or anything like that but we’re human beings you know and then that down it creeps on you but also you know when you’re watching and you’re preparing you watch your opponents earlier fights and Ricky Simone was able to get takedowns against Rob font wasn’t able to hold him down he was able to take him down with these quite a few times over the course of their fight and then also Rob Ford he has that’s going to cause problems for Marlon once again that’s negated on the ground so a really really smart strategy for Marlin rampant’s doing a good job of trying to get the feet on the hip now he’s got to push Marlon away in order to get back to his feet or start to work on getting it under him he can use his right arm to frame the face of marlin tries to fight back down to get control he can dig that underhook and start to work on a half guard position gotta everybody doing a great job of Defending to get back to his feet but keeping that baseball grip hand on Marlon’s hand wow the choke hand defense now he’s on his feet using those hands three push combinations it froze Marlin for a second look at Marlon he’s not moving very well Rob fought in a big way in Las Vegas what a way to return watch here look at the jab it sits you saw him hurt Marlon a little bit earlier in the round right he sets him on his heels lands his beautiful uppercut Marlin gets dropped font lands a few shots and almost stiffens him up fight was over Marlon rise understood that he could not stand with Rob font and when he was forced to stand with Rob font that’s what happens Rob font with a great performance he did exactly to make it official here’s Joe Martinez ladies and gentlemen the end comes at the official time three minutes 47 seconds round number one referee Mark Goddard steps in puts a hole to the contest for your winner by TKO
