00:59Daniel Cormier!
01:23Daniel Cormier!
01:25Jail Sonny!
01:29Hey!
01:33What's up, guys?
01:39You made it!
01:41You made it!
01:44So, we got two teammates from Team Cormier fighting on our first Welterweight semifinal.
01:49Here we go!
01:51So, Jail Sonny and Colby Covington decided to take their team out for the night.
01:57One of the best illusionists in Las Vegas, Chris Angel,
01:59is a huge UFC fan, and he's friends with Colby Covington.
02:02So Colby set it up for Team Sonnen to go see Chris's show.
02:05Here, Chris.
02:07What's up, brother?
02:08Good to see you.
02:10It's such a fun scene to meet you, man.
02:13I fancy myself as a very small magician myself.
02:15And Chris Angel, I've heard all about him.
02:17This guy is like a genius within the space.
02:19So it's a real treat.
02:21Do you believe in magic?
02:21Do you believe that I can use my mind to you up right now?
02:27Yeah.
02:28I had a fighter.
02:29I won't say who it was.
02:30And he asked me if I could teach him some of my tricks
02:34so that in the octagon he would be able to, like, you know,
02:38utilize the mental component in a way
02:41that fighters didn't understand.
02:43If you meet Chris Angel, you have to ask that question.
02:46I'm on his side of this.
02:47I like that he asked you the question, just in case.
02:50Growing up, I was a fan of Chris Angel Mind Freak.
02:52The only trick I know is the rule.
02:57Finger, my kid loves it.
02:59So, you know, excited to kind of see the show.
03:01Thank you so much, man.
03:02Thank you for coping, setting this up.
03:07I followed Chris Angel in 2002 or something like that.
03:11And now seeing him in person backstage, shake his hand,
03:13that's like, that's a dream come true.
03:15I did never see that opportunity coming in my life,
03:18to be honest.
03:21I remember as a kid watching these shows.
03:23Yeah, I'm definitely a fan of magic.
03:24I try to do a bit of magic at home,
03:26but it doesn't really work out because I'm,
03:28I think I'm just too stupid to do it.
03:31The boys went crazy for it.
03:32You got to understand, there is a training side to this.
03:35Anything that we can do to lift their spirits
03:37is far more important at this point than going and sprinting
03:40three miles or sparring five rounds.
03:52So honored to be here.
03:54I want to, we have a very special night going on.
03:56I used to watch this man fight all the time.
04:00And he is leading eight guys of the ultimate fighter.
04:04Give it up for Mr. Shell Sonnen, right over there.
04:10Shell Sonnen.
04:13We also got my brother, who I had the pleasure
04:16of rolling with him and sparring a little bit with.
04:19He kicked my ass a million times.
04:21Give it up for my brother.
04:22Colby Covington's here tonight, right back there.
04:26Can you see them?
04:27Do you want me to bring them up here?
04:29Do you want me to bring them up here?
04:30Come here, Shell, Colby, come up here.
04:32Criss Angel is good at what he does.
04:35So it was an amazing experience.
04:37Take Colby Covington to make this happen.
04:41Come up here, boys.
04:42Come up here.
04:43Criss Angel possibly went further
04:46than anyone I've ever seen.
04:48He didn't know less anything.
04:49What a gentleman.
04:50Let me hear some energy.
04:53All right, here we go.
04:55UFC.
05:01Beautiful.
05:02Here's what we got.
05:04Guys, you guys know we wanted to shut them out anyway,
05:07so you knew we'd have to fight each other.
05:08So here's what we're going to do.
05:10Today we do sparring.
05:11Three rounds, you'll spar in here with the rest of the guys.
05:14You'll spar in that cage over there.
05:16Then we'll flip.
05:17So you guys are spending time in the group together.
05:19Well, one guy doesn't feel isolated the entire time.
05:23Alex will go two rounds with whoever's there first, right?
05:25Then Danil will stay two rounds with the other guy.
05:27Then we'll switch it.
05:28We'll keep switching.
05:29Yeah, I'm going to go just with you, Alex.
05:30Can I?
05:31Yeah, I'm going to go just with you, Alex.
05:32Can I?
05:33You can?
05:34If you want to just spar Alex.
05:35Yeah.
05:36I don't want to train with Danil.
05:37I don't want to train with Jeff.
05:38And they'll have to, like, explain why.
05:39I do have to, like, explain why.
05:40I do have, like, Alex, Chapolin, and Emmanuel.
05:42So I'm definitely secure to train with Dan.
05:43And I don't need more than my friends to train with me right now.
05:46You guys are going to do six straight rounds together?
05:48Yeah.
05:49OK.
05:50OK.
05:51OK.
05:52All right.
05:53All right.
05:54All right.
05:55All right.
05:56All right.
05:57All right.
05:58All right.
05:59All right.
06:00All right.
06:01All right.
06:02All right.
06:03All right.
06:04All right.
06:05All right.
06:06All right.
06:07All right.
06:08All right.
06:09I don't even care about, yeah, I don't care where I'm at either.
06:11That's all good.
06:12I think Rodrigo, I think because the fight is so close,
06:15he doesn't want anything to, like, hurt his ego.
06:19And so he'd rather train with the smaller guys
06:22than to train with Danil.
06:23And Danil's a great partner.
06:24Danil's not fighting Rodrigo.
06:26And Danil hasn't done anything to Rodrigo.
06:28And I think it just says a lot about kind of where his head's at.
06:32I think he's just really stressed out.
06:34All right.
06:35Let's work.
06:36Ready?
06:37One, two.
06:38I'm not even going to coach either of these guys.
06:41So in terms of this fight, we have to split our coaching staff.
06:44Luckily, we have a lot of coaches.
06:48I know that this is not a team competition anymore, but you can't do it alone.
06:53Right?
06:54You've got to have coaches.
06:55You've got to have teammates.
06:56Somebody to spar, somebody to train with, somebody to push you.
07:00They can't fight for you when you're in there.
07:02So it does really boil down to what you can do and how you implement whatever work you
07:08guys put in over the course of the training camp.
07:10Switch again.
07:11Yeah.
07:12It's from Orthodox.
07:13Okay.
07:14I start and finish softball.
07:15Yes.
07:16Yes.
07:17Continue.
07:18Yes.
07:19Now move.
07:20Yes.
07:21Direct.
07:22Yes.
07:23Direct.
07:24Yes.
07:25Direct.
07:26Yes.
07:27Yes.
07:28Yes.
07:29Yes.
07:30Yes.
07:31Yes.
07:32Yes.
07:33Then Moho.
07:34If I was coached with Rodrigo, I would tell him, o maintain space and distance, use the
07:37striking.
07:38He's a very sharp kid in terms of the striking, his ability to land stuff.
07:44He didn't show his striking against Diego, he was too emotionally invested, in that fight
07:50to be able to fight for the game plan, but if I'm coaching him to fight Jeff, I'm telling
07:53him, stay at his range, use the striking, because he's cleaner than Jeff.
07:56And he's a little faster than Jeff, and that would also keep him away from getting taken
08:01if he's at the range that he's most comfortable in.
08:04Come in here, fight position.
08:05If you go there, throw a body kick.
08:08Boom! Because I'm gonna be there.
08:10You stop me.
08:11You know I'm gonna shuffle there, spin back kick in my face.
08:15Boom!
08:17You understand? You catch me where you expect I'm going to be.
08:21Jeff gonna try stay on the long distance, you know,
08:24jab all the time, jab across, so, like, straight punch
08:28and move around, maybe a couple kicks,
08:30but I'm working a lot for going to short stances
08:33where I work better, you know, where I can fight.
08:37And he definitely scared to grapple with me.
08:40You know, I'm, like, high level of black belt,
08:42so I'm definitely ready for this fight,
08:46and I will put a lot of pressure on him
08:48until he's, like, losing his mind,
08:50and I'm gonna work from there.
08:52So he's gonna see a complete MMA fighter in there.
09:00If I was coaching this fight,
09:06I would tell Jeff to use his wrestling,
09:08go take him down.
09:09Rodrigo is very well-rounded.
09:10He's good on the ground.
09:11We haven't seen him on his back, right?
09:13Because it's unknown,
09:15I would ask for him to show me
09:18what he can do off of his back.
09:20I do visualize that the fight will start off hot.
09:33If he's smart, he'll try to get me out of there
09:35in the first five minutes,
09:36and when he can't do that,
09:38that's when it'll be my turn to show
09:41that this is my fight,
09:43and I will finish him and win.
09:45If he comes out
09:46and doesn't put the foot on the gas right away,
09:48I'm gonna beat him.
09:50Aim, like, your throat, right?
09:51Aim for that throat, like, right here.
09:53Yeah, and keep it there.
09:54You punching up here is not giving you ESC,
09:56because then you're gonna get more leverage.
09:57You're gonna use your legs and your hips
09:59and then be nice and relaxed.
10:00Everything nice and straight.
10:01I think both of these guys can win this competition,
10:03so I'm just happy that they get to compete against each other,
10:06and hopefully they can put on a good fight.
10:11What is going on?
10:31Oh, my gosh, you look beautiful.
10:33You look so handsome.
10:36Oh, my gosh.
10:37Baby, hey, did you get your Valentine's gifts?
10:39I did.
10:40I loved them so much.
10:42You were such a sweetheart.
10:43You're at my mom's house.
10:45Yeah, I am.
10:46Oh, my gosh.
10:47I just realized that looking in the background.
10:49Yes, I'm gonna talk to you for a little bit,
10:51and then I'm gonna take the phone out
10:52so you can say hi to everybody.
10:54Okay, okay.
10:55My wife couldn't have looked any more beautiful.
10:57I've definitely been messing home
10:59going through this experience,
11:01but it just made me realize
11:04how much they have all sacrificed for me to be here,
11:09and, you know, I want their sacrifices to be worth something.
11:14How has it been being in the trailer by yourself?
11:18I can only imagine.
11:21It's been fine.
11:22It's been good, though?
11:24Yeah, I think it's been good, yeah.
11:25Have you been having lots of sleepovers at mom's or no?
11:28I haven't had one.
11:29You haven't?
11:30Wow.
11:31That's impressive.
11:32I've spent the night at Uncle Tune at Kathy's like twice.
11:34Okay.
11:35And I'm just for the night tomorrow night.
11:37Nice.
11:38I know you don't have your phone,
11:39but I've literally texted you probably 20 times.
11:41Have you?
11:42Yeah.
11:43Knowing that I don't have my phone?
11:45Yes, because I just miss you,
11:47and, like, texting you made me feel better somehow.
11:49Oh, well, I can't wait to get my phone.
11:51I've missed you so much you have no idea.
11:55I...
11:57That support, you know, means everything to me.
12:00I think she's made a lot of sacrifices for my dream.
12:04You know, that, it means the world to me,
12:06and I want that to be worth something.
12:08The first fight was crazy.
12:09There's a lot of crazy things behind it.
12:11I will say I'm bringing home some cash,
12:14so that's good.
12:15Cash is king, so...
12:17Okay.
12:18Yeah, that's part of the first fight,
12:20but I'll tell you more about it when I get home.
12:22Are they ready for me out there?
12:24Yeah, they're like,
12:25there's only a little bit of time.
12:26Are you coming?
12:27Okay, go ahead.
12:28Let's go, let's go.
12:29Okay.
12:30Okay, can you see everybody?
12:31I can see everybody.
12:32Randy, I can see you.
12:33I can see Cindy.
12:34I can see Grandma.
12:35Everybody looks great.
12:37How are you?
12:38I'm great.
12:39I'm doing...
12:40I'm doing amazing.
12:41I am...
12:42I'm able to talk to you guys
12:45because I am in the semifinals.
12:47Oh!
12:48Oh!
12:49Seeing my wife and seeing my family
12:52definitely brought me some motivation
12:55more than I already had.
12:57You know, it just made me realize, like,
12:58I'm doing this for the right reasons
13:00and I'm doing it for them.
13:02I kind of just keep my head down
13:04and focus on the task at hand,
13:07and that allows me to, you know,
13:10keep going while being here.
13:12It's been tough being here,
13:14and I'm definitely homesick,
13:16and so it's good to hear from you guys
13:18and just have you...
13:19see all you guys around,
13:20you know, in the same room.
13:22Hey, we love you too.

13:30Love you guys.
13:31I love you too.
13:32I love you too.
13:33I love you too.

13:35My mom's name is Vanya.
13:59She's, like, the love of my life,
14:01you know, that's why I'm doing everything,
14:03that's why I work so hard every single day.
14:07And I feel definitely, like,
14:09so happy to spoke a little bit with her,
14:11like, talk with her.
14:13I'm sorry, man.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:16But, thank God, you're good.
14:18It's so good to see you.
14:20Yeah, it ends.
14:22We're together.
14:23Yes, yes.
14:25If God wants, you stop working.
14:27If God wants.
14:30I'm happy that you're good.
14:32I'm happy.
14:33It's been great.
14:34I've been fighting.
14:36I've already won.
14:38I'm going to do another fight.
14:40And it ends.
14:42It's good.
14:43It's good.

14:59I love your determination.
15:00I love you.
15:01I love you at the top.
15:03I love you too.
15:04I was a huge machine for you.
15:07Almost there.
15:08She's still working hard in Brazil, so I'm not happy with that, you know, so I want to change her life as soon as possible, as quickly as possible, you know.
15:20And I'm gonna do everything I need for making this happen.
15:25And now, a big part of this world knows your name, you know, your story, and this motivates me to continue to be stronger.
15:37I just have to thank you, thank you for everything you gave me.
15:40I have a lot of pride in you, I have a lot of pride in you.
15:43I know, I'm just this man that I am today, thanks to you, if I wasn't you, I wouldn't be it.
15:50I would say, this human being, a great comparison, a wonderful thing.
15:55I don't know what to do.
15:58We'll be together, okay?
16:01Okay, okay.
16:03I love you.
16:04I love you.
16:05I love you.
16:07I love you.
16:09Bye.
16:11I love you.
16:12I love you.
16:13I love you.
16:17When I was a kid, and she's working hard and making time for like, hang out with me and my brother.
16:23Like I always have food but, for my mom, I had a day, like, she didn't eat, you know, like, for many days when she was a kid.
16:32So, it's definitely very hard for me, bro.
16:38It's definitely very hard.
17:02I love my mom so much and...
17:05put a lot of pressure on me because if it's not me,
17:09it's like, it's not gonna be anybody else, you know?
17:12So that's me, it's now, and everything is here right now.
17:16I will make this happen, bro.
17:35Good afternoon, fighters and coaches.
17:41Welcome to the weigh-in.
17:42To the scale, Jeff Creighton.
17:44There we go.
17:45Let's go, Jeff.
17:46Let's go, Jeff.
17:48I truly believe it's gonna be a very exciting fight.
17:53I think, in my opinion, Jeff might have the more skill sets.
17:58He's very tactical, especially up in the clinch with the elbows,
18:01and I've experienced it firsthand, you know?
18:04But Rodrigo's so strong.
18:06If he can secure positions and land vicious strikes
18:09from ground and pound because of his jiu-jitsu,
18:12it's gonna be interesting to see.
18:14170 and a half.
18:16Good job, Jeff.
18:17Good job, Jeff.
18:18To the scale, Rodrigo Cezanando.
18:20Let's go, Rodrigo.
18:22To be honest, I wasn't really, like, impressed with Rodrigo.
18:25Jeff has some really fast kicks.
18:27I also think his wrestling is better.
18:29If Rodrigo gets the takedown,
18:31I feel like he might have the advantage.
18:34170 and a half.
18:35Good job.
18:36Good job, fellas.
18:38Jeff got a majority decision win against Andreas
18:41in one of the bloodiest fights ever on The Ultimate Fighter.
18:45Stay behind the line.
18:46See the lines right here?
18:47Yeah.
18:48Stay behind that tape, all right?
18:49He opened up a huge cut on Andreas' head
18:51at the end of the first round,
18:52and in the second,
18:54Jeff dominated Andreas on the ground.
18:58Rodrigo also showed impressive grappling skills
19:00in his win over Diego.
19:02Two talented grapplers,
19:04so I'm expecting a very technical fight between these two.
19:07Let's see who becomes our first welterweight finalist.
19:11Congratulations.
19:12Whoo!
19:15You
19:36Oh, let's go
19:45Today we have Jeff facing Rodrigo, and since they got announced to fight, they've been
20:08very respectful of each other.
20:12But when they get dropped off, everybody goes into the same locker room.
20:16I can't imagine how uncomfortable that is for these guys.
20:19I know it can be a bit odd to share the same locker room, so we've got you a locker room.
20:24Yeah.
20:25So that you guys, because you're fighting a second, so why don't you get your stuff?
20:28Let's go put your stuff in the locker room, we'll have some coaches go over with you.
20:31Okay.
20:32This is a tough one for me, because they've both been very close to me over the course
20:34of this process.
20:36They've worked very closely with us to try to get better and improve and accepted everything
20:41we've tried to teach them on the way to getting here.
20:44You guys earned the right to fight each other by doing what you did, and again, because
20:48you guys trained together and helped each other, you elevated each other to put yourself
20:52in this position.
20:53So both of you, I'm proud of you.
20:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:55It's going to be fun to watch you guys compete.
20:56Yeah, absolutely.
20:57You guys have fun out there and fight your asses off, all right?
20:59Let's go.
21:00It's work, it's business, but Jeff is standing on my way, you know, and I'm going to cross
21:12him.
21:13I get the job done no matter what, and I find a way to win, no matter who's in front
21:20of me.
21:21That's just what's going to happen.
21:22I'm a winner, and that's how it's going to be.
21:29We're on the verge now of the biggest fight of our lives, but common goals can't be shared
21:39by two people.
21:42It's not wrong that you share the same goal.
21:45It's only wrong if you don't do everything in your power to accomplish it.
21:49Since I'm not going to coach this fight, Thiago, Bob, and Michael Chiesa are going to corner,
21:59Rodrigo.
22:00It's time to do the thing.
22:02John Wood.
22:03See it happening before your eyes.
22:04It's going to be a war, baby.
22:06Jacob, Casper.
22:07Control your breathing.
22:08That'd be great.
22:09Three big deep breaths.
22:10And Rosendo are going to corner Jeff.
22:13Yeah.
22:14I didn't want to show this side of me.
22:19But I got to bring it out.
22:21That's what we work for every day.
22:22This is the payoff.
22:23Let's go.
22:24This is the payoff.
22:25The pressure on my mind, can I make it out alive?
22:28The fire in my soul, you can see it in my eyes.
22:32As I entered the octagon, all I'm thinking about is how far I've come, you know, the ups
22:37and downs, the really tough times, the living in a gym, the training super late at night,
22:44early in the morning, like all of that has kind of come to this one moment.
22:49And with that, I think, comes pressure.
22:53But I deal with pressure very well.
22:55And, you know, pressure, pressure makes diamonds.
22:59And I'm going to show that.
23:00Go!
23:01Let's go!
23:02Come on!
23:03Leave me out the cage, let me lose.
23:06That's your dream.
23:08That's your dream.
23:09That's your dream.
23:10It's the most important fight ever, so I'm going to be, like, savage, you know?
23:14It's, like, knockout to submission.
23:16We'll look for both of them, like, all the time, so I would be very savage for one of
23:21this fight.
23:22Let's go, boys.
23:23You have a great fight.
23:24Let's go, fellas.
23:29All right, gentlemen, this semifinal fight is three rounds.
23:44If after three rounds we have a tie, we'll go to sudden victory.
23:47Jeff, ready?
23:48Rodrigo, ready?
23:49Fight's on.
23:50All right, let's go, let's go, let's go.
23:56Head movement, head movement.
24:00If your head's not there, we know what it is.
24:04Give me angles.
24:05Don't go straight back.
24:06Get off the wall.
24:07Circle, circle.
24:08We're going to fight ourselves out of there.
24:09You know what's coming here.
24:10Good.
24:11Get your space back after that.
24:13After we attack, move forward.
24:14Take your space.
24:15Get your space off that, too.
24:17Ooh.
24:18Watch, Doc, get that overhand.
24:20Big right hand, left hook.
24:23Nice knee there.
24:25Pull up and out.
24:26Pumble, pummel.
24:28Continue to work here.
24:29Continue to work.
24:30Moving.
24:31Pull up.
24:32We're going to move our feet.
24:33Underhook, yep, yep, yep.
24:34Pull up on that side.
24:35We're going out.
24:36Underhook.
24:37Don't spend too much energy.
24:38You too hard.
24:39Careful, get that leg back on the mat.
24:40Yep, yep.
24:41Keep your weight on him.
24:42Make him carry your weight here, Jeff.
24:44Good, yep.
24:45Good, yep, yep, yep.
24:46Good, let him burn this out.
24:47All right.
24:48Underhooks, there you go, underhooks.
24:49Underhooks.
24:50Don't force it if it's not there.
24:51Underhooks.
24:52Keep fighting his arms.
24:53Keep that secret up in the elbow.
24:54Just control that arm there, Jeff.
24:55Use your left arm to control his arm so we turn and we should follow.
24:58Start looking to turn.
24:59Hard dig.
25:00Hard dig to that side.
25:01Hard dig to the left.
25:02Stop the head, stop the head, stop the head, stop the head.
25:16Next time we pull out, we're going to turn on that.
25:19Breathe in while we're working, Jeff.
25:21Make sure we're breathing while we're working.
25:22Watch the neck.
25:24Keep it out.
25:25Got it.
25:26Don't go down with it.
25:27Hard turn.
25:30It's not there, don't force it, Rodrigo.
25:47But I think like right here he's wasting a lot of energy trying to get his takedown.
25:52And Jeff has a cardio, very good cardio.
26:00Let's go, keep working, stay busy.
26:07Let's go, keep working, stay busy.
26:10Yeah, stop the leg down.
26:12Stop the leg down.
26:13Hard circles, keep going, back to our left.
26:18Hard left, hard left.
26:20There you go.
26:22Walk him one way, go back the other way.
26:24There you go, beautiful.
26:26Watch the elbow, he's going to frame out on the left side.
26:35Jeff, you can bump with your right leg.
26:38Switch out to your left side.
26:41Go away from where his pressure is here if you can.
26:45Yep, yep, walk, walk.
26:47Get those feet moving a little bit, Jeff.
26:48Get him to follow you so we're going to lose that pressure.
26:50Breathe in while we're working.
26:56He's going to get so...
26:57Rodrigo's going to be tired because he used to work so hard trying to get a takedown.
27:02Cutting those elbows.
27:03There they are.
27:04Eso, eso.
27:06Beautiful.
27:07Half guard.
27:08Stay half guard.

27:20Padre alto.
27:21Padre baixo.
27:22Eso.
27:23Start going to the cage.
27:24Use the cage to your advantage.
27:25Back it up.
27:26Jeff, we've got to fight the position and fight to get up.
27:29Same time here, Bubba.
27:32Hey, start scooting yourself back to the cage.
27:34Use the cage to your advantage.
27:36Just flat and do damage.
27:38Let's get to work.
27:43Good job.
27:44You're right where you want to be.
27:46Jeff, when we let go of that log down, we've got to start scooting to that fancy hip hop.
27:50Rodrigo, one minute.
27:51One minute.
27:52Pick a side here where we want to go.
27:56Remember, we've got to watch that headlong.
27:58Watch that headlong here.
28:00Next slide.
28:01Next slide.
28:02Get ready to scramble out.
28:03Get ready to scramble out.
28:04and go to the back.
28:05Don't touch the front.
28:06Talk.
28:07Take your weight down.
28:08We've got to drop that short turn, in.
28:10See if he hits space here.
28:11Turn into it.
28:12Turn into it.
28:14Turn to fight it off.
28:16Don't touch attention, Jeff.
28:17Turn away in.
28:19Oh, he's got the wrong one.
28:20Oh, he's got his back now.
28:21He's a good grappler.
28:22Rodrigo's a good grappler.
28:23Watch your eyes, Rodrigo.
28:24Watch your eyes, Rodrigo.
28:49Stop.
28:54Take a seat.
28:55Catch your breath.
28:56Deep breath.
28:57Calm down.
28:58Good round.
29:07Take a seat.
29:08Catch your breath.
29:09Deep breath.
29:10You've got the momentum.
29:11That's your round.
29:12He got that round just from fresh, okay?
29:13Yeah, I know.
29:14So now we got to get this one back.
29:15Don't blow all your energy on things that aren't working, right?
29:17Okay?
29:18Take the angles, and then take the shot, take him down.
29:20He's tired, all right?
29:21Yeah, I know.
29:22So now you got to put all the weight on him
29:23and make him work from the bottom.
29:25Seconds out.
29:26Jeff, hold your ground.
29:29All right, guys.
29:30Second round.
29:31Fight's on.
29:32Hold your ground.

29:52Watch the neck.
29:53Good.
29:54Good job.
29:55He's gonna take him down.
29:56Well, he took him down pretty good last time.

30:20Heavy, heavy, heavy.
30:21Pull him back a little.
30:22Don't spend too much time down there.
30:23Pass the right side.
30:24We do not want to sweep here.

30:27You either follow the hips or whatever side he dives to is where we're passing.
30:31Roll the elbow.
30:32Roll it.

36:38Step back.
36:39Let's go.
36:40Jeff, you got three and a half minutes to finish this.

36:50Hey, bro.
36:51That's how Dr. Rodrigo is fighting smart.
36:53Get off.
36:54Buckle his legs.
36:55Get up, Jeff.
36:56He recognizes that he's tired.
36:58He's getting hit.
36:59So he goes and he takes him down.
37:01Jeff's got to be more aware.
37:03But the problem is, how much can he be aware knowing he's got to finish, right?
37:08Or at least he has the urgency of trying to finish.
37:11Get one out and the other will come.
37:14Three minutes.

38:59Jeff has got to find a way to his feet here.
39:02Yep.
39:03He's tough, man.
39:04He's a hard-nosed kid.
39:05But Rodrigo's good, man.
39:09No, he's got to go.
39:09He's got to go.
39:10Pull it out.

39:30Go.
39:31Go.
39:32Go.

39:33No elbows.
39:3430, 30, 30.

39:37Everything you got right there.
39:39Right-hand hook, Jeff.
39:40Jeff, go.

39:43Go.
39:44Oh, elbow.
39:45Nice elbow.
39:49Oh, no.
39:50Why is he locking the clinch?
39:51Jeff.
39:52No.
39:5315 seconds.
39:54Go.
39:55Go.
39:56Go.
39:57Yes.
39:58One.
39:58Everything.
39:59That's nice.
40:00Oh.
40:00There you go.
40:01There you go.
40:02Oh.
40:03Yes.
40:04Yes.
40:04Yes.
40:05He's on strike strike strike.
40:07Right hook, you got it.
40:08Stop.
40:08No.
40:09Go.
40:09Woo.
40:10Woo.
40:11Woo.
40:12There you go.
40:14What a good fight.
40:15Fight's on.
40:16Ooh.
40:17They started hard.
40:22A couple big shots landed early and then...
40:25Rodrigo, he was able to get a takedown and that takedown in control.
40:30It's exactly what he was going to need to do in order to beat Jeff.
40:36Oh, he's got his back now.
40:38Because Jeff seemed like he was a better striker, at least from distance.
40:41Second round.
40:42So, in round two, Jeff had moments.
40:49And you could see it.
40:50Jeff was building momentum.
40:53Jeff takes Rodrigo down.
40:55But Rodrigo reverses him.
41:02Oh, switch.
41:03To get top position.
41:04More control by Rodrigo.
41:06It was a very close, competitive round.
41:11Oh, he's got to get up.
41:12He cannot spend the rest of this round here.
41:14Stop.
41:15But I felt like it was two rounds to zero for Rodrigo.
41:18Here we go.
41:19Let's go, boys.
41:20Jeff looked like he knew that he'd lost the first two rounds.
41:24Going into the third with a spot in the finale on the line,
41:27he started letting his hands go and looking for that knockout.
41:30Use the hands and the pressure.
41:31There you go.
41:32Good.
41:33Keep the pressure and keep the distance, Jeff.
41:35Jeff.
41:36But every time he overextended, Rodrigo just clenched him
41:38or got to his takedown position.
41:41Keep this on the feet and let's throw those hands down.
41:43You could hear Jeff's corner screaming.
41:45I want strike range.
41:47Distance.
41:48Distance.
41:49Distance.
41:50But honestly, I like that he took chances.
41:57Because you don't have a chance if you don't take a chance
42:00to try to knock him out.
42:05But that allowed Rodrigo to secure a takedown,
42:08stay in the dominant position for most of the round.
42:11When Jeff finally got back to his feet,
42:13he was exhausted and was not able to land anything significant.
42:16Stop.
42:17Good-bye.
42:18Woo!
42:19Rodrigo fought a very smart fight.
42:20All right, after three rounds, we went to a judge's scorecard.
42:21Winner by split decision, Rodrigo.
42:22Woo!
42:23Thanks, God.
42:24Hey, Jeff.
42:25Thank you, thank you.
42:26Thank you, thank you.
42:27You're a beast, dude.
42:28You're a beast, bro.
42:29Appreciate it.
42:30You're the better man.
42:31Thanks, bro.
42:32You're the better man.
42:33Yeah.
42:34Hey, guys, please.
42:35It's a tough pill to swallow just because I still think I'm the better fighter.
42:54I really do.
42:55He was just the better man tonight.
42:58That's really what it came down to.
43:01I let my wife down.
43:04You're water, man.
43:05I know.
43:06I'm very proud to have you guys doing this.
43:07I let my wife down.
43:08The hardest part is just knowing that I'm not going to be in the finale.
43:12And I feel like I let some people down.
43:17But this definitely isn't the last of me.
43:19I really believe with all my heart that I'm born to be, you know, in that cage.
43:23In that UFC cage.
43:24And I'll be there.
