00:00He's three years older than Rawiri, he has a height advantage.
00:07Rawiri though does have very long arms.
00:16Once again ladies and gentlemen, this is our mixed martial arts super fight.
00:23I feel like I'm missing out when it comes to the hairdo department there Mike.
00:27I want to admire from afar though.
00:31And Bo Rawiri does have that impressive moat.
00:36Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Bo!
00:39Came out to Johnny Cash as the sheriff for that.
00:43Now tell me you'll know Bo a little bit better than me.
00:46Is that for Movember? A very good cause?
00:48Or is that for someone that he likes to sport often?
00:51Representing City Kickboxing in Auckland, ladies and gentlemen, this is...
00:56Eugene Berriman!
01:00Three five minute rounds with the Bermans referee in charge, it's Phil Brown.
01:09And Berriman another man, sporting plenty of facial hair.
01:13But I can tell you from experience, he's not a man you want to be on the bottom with when you go to ground.
01:20Three by five minute rounds, obey my commands all the time, come out swinging, put on a good show.
01:25Touched off now.
01:26Ready.
01:27Phil Brown, very experienced referee, BJJ practitioner, trains out of Oliver MMA, an American top team.
01:34And this is MMA rules, three five minute rounds.
01:40Ready both?
01:42So, it's using all the weapons.
01:45A lot of lead hand clashing here.
01:48Berriman starting off with the fakes.
01:50Berriman going to the inside thigh early.
01:54That is a southpaw special.
01:57Trying to get his foot on the outside, Berriman.
02:01When it goes to ground, it will be allowed to continue in the event of a knockdown.
02:07There will be ground and pound.
02:10Berriman going to that inside thigh again.
02:12Berriman carries his right hand low, but he is suckering him for that.
02:15Now he's got the double underhooked body lock.
02:20Take down early from Berriman.
02:21He goes straight into half guard.
02:24And Awori on his back, close to ringside.
02:28Berriman dropping the elbow early.
02:30Looking for that arm.
02:32Looking to pass guard.
02:34Just ground and pound with the left hand at this point.
02:40And this is a wee bit of a change.
02:42Berriman just trying to take his man away from the corner of the ring.
02:48Trying to free up the arms.
02:50At the moment, he's caught in half guard.
02:52He'll be trying to free that left knee and pass the guard.
02:55Missing with the overhand right once again.
02:59He's very close to passing.
03:01Rawiri.
03:03He's got the underhook.
03:05But Berriman just keeping weight and pressure on top.
03:08Shrimping out there, Rawiri.
03:10He's trying to create room to bring his guard in.
03:17Berriman now looking to pass with the knee slice over the top.
03:21Very close to getting full mount.
03:24Knee smash.
03:26As he slides the knee down to the ground.
03:29Rawiri.
03:30Rawiri.
03:32In deep trouble.
03:33Berriman with good control.
03:34Now he's in full mount.
03:36And the back there.
03:37Good turn there for him.
03:39Rawiri.
03:40He's reversed the position.
03:42Now...
03:43Berriman has him in his guard.
03:44Looking for stand up.
03:46Looking to leverage away with his feet on the hips.
03:49Create room to stand up.
03:50Rawiri looking for room to drop down with the ground and pound.
03:53But the guard very effective from Berriman.
03:57Rawiri trying to pass the guard.
03:59Get behind the knees.
04:01And flip and get round.
04:03And the ankle lock there from Berriman.
04:08Looking for the bar.
04:09Berriman very adept at defending those.
04:13He's trying to cramp up.
04:15Shoot his leg through.
04:17And he has done that successfully.
04:19Rawiri's going to have to look to let go of that leg at some point.
04:23So he doesn't get clocked.
04:25Now Berriman with the underhook behind the head.
04:28Rawiri holding on to the left leg.
04:31But he's now got his arm pinned.
04:34Berriman can pump away with the left hand.
04:37And he's very close to getting his back if he goes with the knee right.
04:40Again.
04:44Rawiri.
04:46With the guard in.
04:48Berriman's going to try and sweep that shin across.
04:51Not to scoot around.
04:52But he's fallen back into the guard of Rawiri.
04:55Full guard.
04:56Where the legs are wrapped behind his hips.
04:59But Berriman quite happy to sling away.
05:01Remember this is a five minute round too.
05:03And Monty, how do you fancy being on the bottom of that?
05:07I don't think I fancy being on the bottom at all there Mike.
05:09Look, it's been a long belt already.
05:11We've seen this first round.
05:12We've still got a minute 30 to go.
05:14Eugene Berriman doing wonderful work on top.
05:17Rawiri taking some good defensive.
05:20Stopping Berriman from taking some takedowns early on.
05:22But it was any amount of time before he found himself on the back.
05:25And there's Rawiri.
05:26Rawiri looks to.
05:28Now.
05:29Berriman.
05:30He looks like he's half taken the back.
05:31He's only got one hook in though.
05:33And Rawiri's going to end up on top again.
05:36Looking for side control.
05:38Berriman shrimping around.
05:40He's got arm control.
05:43Berriman working around looking to get up.
05:45But he's in danger of having his back taken by Rawiri.
05:49This has been a seesawing battle so far.
05:54With the back up.
05:55Berriman will be trying to defend the choke now.
05:58We'll try and get that left hand across.
06:00And push the left glove down to make sure he protects his coronary artery.
06:06And he's reversed that position again.
06:09This has been seesawing.
06:12Berriman has been dominant.
06:14But Rawiri has reversed twice very nicely.
06:16Missed the opportunity there for that rear naked.
06:19Short elbow on the inside there from Berriman.
06:23Rawiri back on the defence.
06:2518 seconds to go.
06:26And this is the first of three five minute rounds.
06:30Berriman looking to stand momentarily and break the guard.
06:34Dropping down bombs off the right hand.
06:37Rawiri shortening the distance.
06:40Pulling his head down.
06:42That's it.
06:44Berriman going with body and head.
06:47A very eventful round one.
06:50A couple of reverses by Rawiri.
06:53He did have an opportunity very momentarily.
06:57For a rear naked.
06:59But for the most part.
07:01Berriman was dominant on top of the ground and down.
07:03He secured the takedown.
07:05And I would suggest that the judges will go in his favour.
07:08He's got two experts in the corner there.
07:09And that was a beautiful takedown.
07:10He's got two experts in the corner there.
07:11And that was a beautiful takedown.
07:12Monty.
07:13Double handed underhook.
07:14And Barryman initiates it.
07:15He's got two experts in the corner there.
07:18And that was a beautiful takedown Monty.
07:19Double handed underhook.
07:20And Barryman initiated the takedown.
07:21That's right.
07:22I think that I would have did a couple of good saves early on in the piece to stop the takedown.
07:24And there were two submissions left.
07:25And Barryman initiated the takedown.
07:26That's right.
07:27I think that I would have did a couple of good saves early on in the piece that stopped
07:28the takedown.
07:30There were two submissions against by Rawhiri.
07:34One was the rear naked.
07:36And there was Barryman missing with the kimura.
07:38That's a big bag with that.
07:39He's got two.
07:40And he's got two experts in the corner there.
07:41Now many seconds left in the ball.
07:42And we've got two experts in the corner there.
07:44And that was a beautiful takedown Monty.
07:46Double handed underhook.
07:47And Barryman initiated the takedown.
07:48That's right.
07:49I think that I would have did a couple of good saves early on in the piece to stop the
07:51takedown.
07:53And then there were two submissions attempts by that are naked.
07:56And there was Barryman missing with the kimura.
07:58So we're underway.
07:59This is round number two.
08:02Berryman with the red trim on his shorts.
08:05Rawori with the UFC shorts, the Reebok shorts.
08:11Berryman needs to be cautious there.
08:13I think he almost got put by the left hand.
08:15That's the South 4 problem.
08:17Looking for the double leg.
08:18Very well sprawled there.
08:22Rawori, he's up against the ropes.
08:25Berryman does need to be cautious about the guillotine there.
08:30And we can see it straight away.
08:31Rawori's got the hands connected.
08:34This is his third submission attack.
08:37Berryman manages to separate.
08:39He's very composed early in the round.
08:44Just made a mistake on that double leg takedown.
08:51Berryman just continuing to hold there.
08:54The hands aren't quite together at this point.
08:58Rawori trying to cut off the oxygen to the neck.
09:01Berryman just looking to pop the head out eventually.
09:10Keep his neck out of trouble.
09:11You can see there's a lot of hand fighting with the camera work.
09:14Rawori landing the left hand and the left knee.
09:19Overhooked there by Berryman.
09:20Looking for the control of the left hand.
09:23And now he's going for the takedown.
09:25Takes the bag.
09:27Good defence though.
09:29From Rawori.
09:30Put the hand out.
09:31Stopped the thigh from coming around.
09:35A lot of work here going on the inside.
09:39Dirty boxing.
09:40Grappling in the knees as they're fighting for the underhook.
09:42The underhook of course is when it gets in under the elbow.
09:47And you see the work there again.
09:50Overhook on one side from Berryman.
09:52And he's got the underhook on the other.
09:54As he presses.
09:55Rawori up against the cage.
09:57A lot of grinding, tiring work there as they search for the takedown.
10:05And the opportunity to load up.
10:07Berryman looking for the single leg of the right leg potentially.
10:13Hand control there from Berryman.
10:17Head up underneath the chin of Rawori.
10:20Looking for another.
10:22Now the takedown.
10:23Rawori spreading his legs wide to prevent the takedown.
10:25A bit of a stalemate at this point.
10:32Neither fighter looking or willing to make a mistake.
10:38Berryman now starting to bring Rawori down momentarily.
10:43He's fighting his way up.
10:44Here's a left hook from Berryman.
10:46Now he goes for the double leg again.
10:48But once again.
10:51Rawori looking for the guillotine choke.
10:55He's trying to take it down.
10:57But Berryman too strong now at this point.
11:00Rawori has him locked in guard.
11:04He's got his head out.
11:06Berryman defended that well.
11:08Now he's on top.
11:12Putting the hand across the face.
11:15To disrupt both the breathing.
11:17And look for the opportunity to blind him for the ground and pound.
11:21In the full guard, Berryman.
11:23Rawori will look and try and get his legs up high.
11:27Looking for the high guard there.
11:29He's gone for an open guard now.
11:31Which may give Berryman the opportunity to pass.
11:33And look there.
11:34And he's gone into half guard.
11:36And there's the elbows from the top from Berryman.
11:39He does have a vicious ground and pound game.
11:42Rawori trying to tie up the arms.
11:44He's got one overhook.
11:48And Berryman looking to pass once again with the knee slice.
11:51Now he's in full mound I think.
11:56And this position, Monty very difficult.
12:00Rawori will try and bump him off.
12:05Or reverse the position.
12:07Berryman using his head.
12:10Grind him down.
12:11He's just a little low on the hips at this point.
12:15Just caught his ankle.
12:18He's back into half guard.
12:21He's quite content to go for the ground and pound from half guard.
12:24Elbows from the top.
12:28Grinding work from Berryman.
12:30Goes back again into full mound.
12:3227 seconds to go.
12:33Rawori with the double.
12:36Blocked behind the back to prevent
12:37Berryman from tostering up.
12:39He's given him his back.
12:43Potential for a dash strike.
12:44But he's not quite in the right position.
12:46Sorry for an arm in strike.
12:49Ground and pound from on top now.
12:52Looking for the bare naked Barrett.
12:55Rawori out of that.
12:56But he's taken more punishment.
12:59Well, Berryman reversed a lot of early grind
13:03and ended up on top.
13:05Sucking in the big one.
13:07Baurawori.
13:10Interesting round.
13:12In terms of just effective work from the top.
13:15Berryman's probably taking it.
13:17But we shouldn't forget.
13:18Two submission attempts from Rawori.
13:20Yeah, Berryman finishing the strong end of the two there.
13:23Going in between the submission.
13:24Looking for the submission.
13:25Going straight into the ground and pound.
13:27He did that effortlessly.
13:28Transitioning between the two.
13:30Great to see.
13:31Don't let him turn it together.
13:33Try to get your heel on your shoulder.
13:34Pull him his shoulder on to the ground.
13:36Get the back flat.
13:37All right?
13:38Adam Johnson.
13:39Multiple New Zealand BJJ champion.
13:41Chop that leg.
13:43All right?
13:44Get him with that leg.
13:46All right?
13:47Take it to yourself.
13:48Feel it.
13:49Okay?
13:50Chop that leg.
13:51Get him with the left.
13:53That was the goal.
13:56And Rari.
13:57You can see him there.
13:58Looking for the guillotine.
13:59He's got his hands connected.
14:01Berryman.
14:03After that.
14:04Spent a lot of time just pressuring.
14:06Looking to free the arms up.
14:08And administer that ground and pound.
14:10Third and final.
14:12Berryman.
14:13In the red gloves.
14:14Rawori.
14:15In the blue.
14:17Faking from Berryman.
14:18Needs to lead hand control.
14:20And once again he's gone with that left leg.
14:22And that is dangerous.
14:25With the takedowns always present.
14:30Berryman keeps his right hand low.
14:32It's a little bit of a sucker for Rawori.
14:34He wants him to throw.
14:35He's aware of that shot coming in.
14:38Rawori going with the inside leg.
14:39Kicking left hook.
14:40It's a southcourt special.
14:43Berryman's on the outside.
14:45Looking for the check hook off the left hand.
14:49It's good to see him throw that right hand down the pipe and then go for the takedown.
14:55Cross check from Berryman.
14:56He is really sucking in big runs at Rawori now.
15:03Be vulnerable to a body kick.
15:05But that's dangerous because it does open you up for a takedown.
15:10Heading up times.
15:11Both men going for submissions.
15:13Put a little guillotine.
15:14And looking for a couple of other ones.
15:16Back and forth.
15:17But I think it's going to come down to the war of attrition.
15:19And out of the two men it's Rawori who should have mouth wide open.
15:24Asked me for that breath.
15:25And this will suit him right now.
15:27Inactivity in the third and final round.
15:30Berryman's got him buying into a lot of fakes at this point.
15:33And there was that once again.
15:34A beautiful kick catch and takedown off the single leg.
15:38Which has left him in the guard of Rawori.
15:40But once again in top position.
15:43And it's an open guard that Rawori's got at the moment.
15:46And Berryman's got him.
15:48He caught us there.
15:49The knee slice going across the groin region.
15:52And looking to pass.
15:54Good work there from Rawori.
15:56He prevented the knee from coming through.
15:58Berryman just posturing up a little more.
16:01Trying to take the balance away.
16:04And now he's in half guard position.
16:06He's half.
16:07Halfway there into taking the back if he can slide around.
16:11As he pummels away with the left hand.
16:15He's almost freed up the leg there.
16:19Berryman's just looking for the opportunity to pass now.
16:22Almost in the side control.
16:24But he puts himself back into the half guard.
16:27I think he's quite happy to sit there and ground away.
16:32Rawori has a...
16:34Look in.
16:37And he's got his right leg on the hip of Berryman.
16:40That can create a bit of space looking for.
16:43Kimura there.
16:44But he's not in the right position.
16:45Trying to tie up the arms.
16:48Now Berryman has him down and compressed.
16:50Both legs compressed.
16:51And he's driving away with that left hand Berryman.
16:58Just tumping the forearm and the elbow in.
17:04Rawiri has got the underhook there.
17:07Looking to escape.
17:10But Berryman props him down again.
17:14You see the left hand sneaking through under the armpit.
17:19Rawiri looking to try and...
17:21Escape there with the underhook.
17:23But Berryman's stopping there.
17:24Rawiri up on the one arm.
17:27And Berryman just propping him down.
17:29Keeping his back to the canvas.
17:31And again...
17:33He's just having a hard time getting rid of that half guard.
17:37Now a Baderman in a good position.
17:39Looking to take away...
17:41That pillar.
17:43And...
17:45Rawiri on his back once again.
17:47Suffocating work from Berryman.
17:55Clears the legs.
17:57He continues to pound away.
17:59A minute 13 left in this MMA bout.
18:04Right hand there.
18:05Rawiri propping up on his elbow.
18:08Looking for the stand-up opportunity.
18:09But he's not able to shrimp away.
18:11And clear the legs.
18:15Berryman quite happy with the body lock there.
18:19He's got good control.
18:22With the right hand.
18:23And he's just upstairs, downstairs.
18:26Rawiri.
18:27He's really in trouble at this point.
18:31And now he's almost got the arm pinned.
18:35Very strong work.
18:36Durable work from Rawiri.
18:38But it's been...
18:39A slow and steady battle of suffocating attrition.
18:44From Berryman.
18:4526 seconds to go.
18:49Rawiri.
18:50He's established the half guard.
18:51But Berryman's been quite happy to pound away.
18:55Looking to pass there from the knee slice.
18:57Every hand.
18:59Almost past him.
19:00Looking for that side control position.
19:04Rawiri's got it up.
19:06Berryman fostering up again.
19:07Great right hand.
19:08Flatters his head off the canvas.
19:10And another one.
19:12Rain it down the bombs.
19:19Well, there you go.
19:22The introduction of MMA.
19:23A great performance from Bo Rawiri.
19:27I would suggest Berryman will take that bout.
19:31He was the aggressor.
19:32He dominated in ground and pound.
19:34Rawiri did have a couple of goes at submissions.
19:38Two guillotines in the second.
19:40And a rear knocket and an ankle lock in the first.
19:46But in between there wasn't a lot.
19:48It's the weight of the judges' decisions.
20:03Eugene Berryman is relieved to get that one out of the way.
20:09He's fighting up weight slightly.
20:11Bo Rawiri is very strong.
20:13I can see you enjoyed that one.
20:16Let's go to Lieutenant.
20:17Lieutenant.
