foreign [Music] we’ve been over the rules protect yourself at all times follow my instructions I’m going to keep it clean touch gloves and let’s do it oh the tension of a UFC Main Event nothing quite like it Fifth UFC headlining spot in the last eight for Curtis blades second straight main event for that man Chris daucus Chicago on one side Philadelphia on the other ready in our heavyweight main event blades in Black docus in blue early right hand connects for daucus who believes he’ll have the speed Advantage tonight yeah dolk is straight away throwing Hans certainly proving that he’s not gun shy done the fight with Derry Lewis the massive right hand connected and you saw Curtis play around with the stand up a little bit expect a level change here soon since Dawkins has been able to get to him dog is standing very upright lowered his stance a bit now but yeah as you said Daniel he’s gonna play the standard he’s gonna lull him to thinking yeah we’ve got a box and then he’s gonna shoot as I said I was talking to his cornerman this morning they said they have been working a lot of jujitsu off their back lots of triangles every kind of submissions stand-ups of course well and in talking to team elevation Cody Donovan longtime head coach of Curtis blades their focus is on a finish tonight I mean they’re trying to win but that right hand will help well the both line did a big right hunt now but you saw a bigger reaction when blade landed his he sat Dockers down in the chair a little bit Kyo started range without leftover from Dorcas [Music] [Applause] UK’s Tom Askin almost texted me earlier saying who do you think’s going to win I said I can’t say who do you think he said honestly I don’t know he’s leading towards Curtis plays but he said if Dorcas can land flush it’s going to be a problem figures to be hard to make his statement bigger than his last Saturday three minutes to go here round one daucus did stay in a dark place for a little bit after that Derrick Lewis result but the guy that came out of it mentally hardened and stronger it’s all a learning curve you know you step up I mean listen Dorcas had had an incredible rise in the UFC but there was a big jump from the guys that he was fighting to then fighting Derek Lewis well you heard Curtis say it on Thursday he was like oh he knocked out uh Abram he goes I just didn’t buy the hype but the reality is docuses could be respected and he’s showing that he’s in there in a fight now I’m very surprised that two minutes and 30 seconds into the round we haven’t seen one take down a tip before his blades he must feel really sure that he can outstrike Chris Dawkins and of course on his left side go ahead Mike sorry John I’m gonna say listen Daniel you know this it’s fun throwing hands of course you said before it’s fun taking people back he doesn’t feel the threat but land in a right hand or a leftover special that feels better uh Team Thomas maroon jacket what do you have DC you’re absolutely right we haven’t seen it take that or nor have we even seen a faint Curtis Blaze if he would just start fading takedowns that would open up his hands and we already know that he can hurt him because he heard him early in this fight if he’s just at least faint to take down it’ll open up his striking and he may even get the takedown Sage words there from the UFC veteran Dean Thomas under 90 seconds to go on the round you know and the thing is for courage is he might want to prove something yeah because you know that that weird creatures there’s Fighters you know we want to show hold on there we lose an ultimate on the feet well I’m gonna show that I can do it and sometimes that’s to be a detriment sometimes that’s allows Dorcas to come back and catch you with something at times Curtis for as much as he has won has not been able to produce the finishes that some of these other guys have and they find themselves in title fights so maybe he’s willing to take more risks now especially against a guy that he said is a bit smaller in the weight class it’s someone that he doesn’t feel presents as many problems to him the darkest corner seemingly doesn’t want him anywhere near that fence but at least as yet blades content to kickbox yeah Curtis hasn’t even attempted any shots maybe he’s saving that to end the round just kind of feel it out and see how hard it will be to take doctors down but darkness is doing a good job doctor should be encouraged because he’s been able to land and he’s been hit and he’s taken the shots of Curtis blades oh no he’s been very even both guys landed here the dog is coming out strong at the end of the round essential eyeball Herb Dean giving Dawkins the benefit of the doubt there we’ll see if it was an eye poke or a punch [Applause] huh Doc is trying to sort of blink out that right eye just acknowledged to his Corner that he’s okay you ready okay come on come on Kirk go oh yes bomb break to cross the right eye there the thumb I mean that’s completely accidental all right five minutes down good start for Curtis blades will Martinez Jr and UFC middleweight Kyle Dawkins imparting some advice there on Chris Daniel seems like Kyle thinks that Curtis is going to go to that takedown game here around two yeah he thinks that now he he will start to look for takedowns but the corner of Darkness has asked him to go to the body a little bit mix it up force him to wrestle and I guarantee he’s going to go there for the second round I mean that’s a great way of you know oh huge land for Curtis blades oh my goodness they’re big shots razor blades by knockout how do you like him now that is what he needed he said I ain’t gonna take you down I’m gonna that’s exactly Curtis blades needed and he is fired up and when Daniel sticks a mic in his face he’s might probably gonna tell you I’m not in here for takedowns tonight zero takedown attempts and a Monumental knockout win for the contender Curtis blade and that was the statement that he needed to make this month feels like he’s been overlooked in the heavyweight division he wants to fight for the title so yes he has the takedowns but tonight he did not need to make the statement Got The Knockout let’s take a look as he’s coming in donkeys leads himself wide open beautiful right hand right down the middle takes his head up the center line and the crack it echoed around the building look at this boom right in the eye socket Falls Face Forward dogs is still in it let’s take one more look in slow motion just trying to seal the deal both swing at the same time Bang s down and now let’s take a lesson because it was a thing of beauty oh I mean that is a sickening thud and one final time tonight here’s Bruce ladies and gentlemen referee Herb Dean is going to stop to this contest at 17 seconds of round number two declaring the winner by TKO Curtis razor [Music] [Applause] Blaze [Music]
