00:00Previously on The Ultimate Fighter, Team Cormier's Rodrigo Sezinando became the first welterweight
00:11finalist. Thanks to a three-round decision win over teammate Jeff Creighton.
00:15Rodrigo!
00:16Woo!
00:17Take the ball!
00:18Earlier in the quarterfinal round, Team Cormier's Ukrainian striker Danil Donchenko survived
00:25a two-round battle against Richard Machines of Team Sonnen to claim his spot in the welterweight
00:31semi-finals, while American Matt Dixon of Team Sonnen asserted his dominance over Alex Sanchez
00:38with a first-round TKO, securing his own place in the semis.
00:44Good job, Matt Dixon!
00:46Coming up...
00:47Give it up for Rashad Evans, guys.
00:49Tough season two winner and UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans pays a visit to Team Sonnen training.
00:55Boom!
00:56I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for tough.
00:58Then, it's time for Matt and Danil to enter the Octagon to see who will face Rodrigo in
01:06the Ultimate Fighter Live finale.
01:09Do you want to be a fighter?
01:12That's the question.
01:13You can only watch anyone'sック for her to surrender thisapproved child.
01:18One of them is a fighter.
01:21I've seen a fighter.
01:24There must blame only friends for it.
01:26Crazy.
01:27A fighter.
01:32How do you wanna watch a fighter?
01:36Well, I don't know.
01:37Antares.
01:38What if you wanted to do and treat Android?
01:40Daniel Cormier
01:51Jail Sonny
02:10We have just one semi-final fight left before our live finale.
02:22These guys have worked hard and made this a great 20th anniversary season.
02:27So before everyone goes their separate ways, I wanted to get both teams together for one final night out in Vegas.
02:34All right, guys. So we are out to dinner. I love seeing you guys kind of mixed, where it's not team and team.
02:42Jail and I both agree this is the hardest competition in all of sports.
02:45So congratulations to each and every one of you four.
02:50What do we got? Oh, look at that. Look at that in Vegas. Wow.
02:57Guys, you have done an amazing job.
03:00I am so impressed with the way that you guys train, the way that you guys work, how much you have taken from us in such a short period of time, and how you're applying it to the fights.
03:09But tonight, the best that we can suspend the tournament.
03:14Suspend our teams and our feuds and our relationships and all come together because things like this, when you guys get revealed and we're all in a billboard like this,
03:21you will all start to feel that we came and we did this together regardless of how the chips fall.
03:26So tonight, in the spirit, we are all one.
03:29Thank you, guys. Whenever you're in a situation like this, some jerk gets up and goes, we're all one and we're all together, but it's hard to feel.
03:35You're in a tournament. You're fighting for your life and dreams.
03:37But tonight, in the spirit, we are all one.
03:41We are all one, boys. So listen, there is a ton of food for you guys to eat.
03:45We're going to sit together, break bread.
03:48But before we go in, guys, take a moment and just look at how good I look.
03:52Yo, they made me look pretty.
03:53Dude, did you say, hey, hey, they're airbrushers.
03:55They're airbrushers, huh?
03:57They made us look good, boys.
03:59Hey, but listen, here's the deal.
04:01Chael and I have done a lot of things in our careers that allow for us to be in a position where we get to see our name in lights.
04:07Know that you guys are now on a path to doing that for yourself at some point.
04:12So envision that because it's possible for everyone.
04:15You guys are all special guys.
04:17I keep calling you kids because we're so damn old.
04:19But you guys are all special young men that have big futures ahead of you.
04:22Man, I am pumped to see this banner.
04:25I mean, to see Chael and D.C. on the building in the big bright lights, it's just absolutely pumping me up.
04:33This is going to be crazy.
04:35I know that they're going to show promotions and things like that, but now it's just all real.
04:40And to see that, it's, you know, it's crazy.
04:43Enjoy your meal.
04:44Enjoy the spirit of this camaraderie.
04:46And let's have a great night, guys.
04:48Let's go.
04:50So we're going to take the guys.
04:53We're going to suspend competition.
04:54We're going to go out to dinner.
04:56Follow this way, guys.
04:57So we take them out to Resorts World.
04:59Got this special room in the back, and it's just for us.
05:02Have a seat, guys, anywhere.
05:03They got this special menu.
05:05I mean, as far as being treated nicely, you really couldn't be treated any better.
05:08Food was amazing, super tasty.
05:12Shrimps, chicken, dogs, you know.
05:16Chapolin, try this.
05:18Eat this.
05:19So Chapolin is from Brazil.
05:22He hasn't been many places, and he hasn't had many things.
05:26Chapolin, eat that, man.
05:27Here.
05:28They brought some duck out.
05:32Duck!
05:33It's something people eat all the time.
05:35Chapolin, try this.
05:37Eat.
05:37Chapolin, try this.
05:39Eat.
05:39No.
05:41Chapolin won't eat duck.
05:43But then he tells us he eats capybara.
05:46Is he joking?
05:47No duck?
05:48No duck?
05:49Okay, okay.
05:49Deal.
05:50But guess what he eats?
05:51What?
05:52Capybara.
05:53You know that little fat rat-looking animal?
05:55Oh, yeah.
05:55He eats that, but he won't eat the duck.
05:57Wow!
05:58Oh, he's doing it all wrong.
05:59He should have some duck.
06:00He's doing it all wrong.
06:01Tomello.
06:02Tomello.
06:02Tomello.
06:03Tomello.
06:04Go ahead, Tomello, South African style.
06:07Tomello, all the way.
06:12It's very clear the difference in the teams, right?
06:16Chillin', they were like a bunch of professionals, business professionals.
06:19Thank you, brother.
06:20My bad etiquette.
06:21Thank you, my man.
06:21Very nice of you.
06:22And we just have wild, wildness going on on our side.
06:29I feel like this whole experience was just a mental challenge.
06:33You know, we all succeeded.
06:35Tomello.
06:36One more shot.
06:37Thinking about all the memories, all the people, the different characters, I'm definitely
06:41going to miss the guys, and I'll definitely be keeping in touch.
06:45This experience has been, you know, very difficult, but I have a great team.
06:53I'm proud of all of Team Sonnen, and it was an honor to share this experience with
06:58them.
06:58They're my brothers, for sure.
07:00Boys, I'll see y'all tomorrow morning, 10 a.m.
07:03Be ready to train.
07:03All right, Cormier.
07:05See you, buddy.
07:11What an experience that we had, bro.
07:14Yeah, yeah.
07:15Hey, guys, we were f***ing the ultimate fire, bro.
07:18Yes.
07:18That's crazy, bro.
07:20Now I'm thinking, man.
07:21We were in the f***ing ultimate fire, man.
07:24Hey, you know that saying?
07:25Only losers.
07:26You know that saying?
07:28Welcome to the winner's circle.
07:29Welcome to the loser's circle.
07:31If somebody who won come here, we're going to f*** him out.
07:35I lost here.
07:36I will go home.
07:38My wife is going to beat me as well.
07:40I go to the gym.
07:41The gym is going to beat me as well for losing.
07:43So that's three losses.
07:44Back to back.
07:46I'll definitely, definitely miss these guys, not just from my team, but definitely from
07:51DC's team as well.
07:52We are not playing basketball.
07:54Yeah.
07:55We are not playing soccer.
07:56We are fighting, bro.
07:57This is the toughest sport in the world.
07:59And DC's are the best fighters in the world outside of UFC, man.
08:02So we have to be proud of us for sure, 100%.
08:06And we will get back better and smarter because, you know, what mistakes we had.
08:12Here's your participation medal.
08:15Thank you for taking part.
08:17It was an amazing experience.
08:19We will never forget, for sure, 100%.
08:21I will miss this time for my whole life.
08:32We've had special guest coaches all season long.
08:35Today, Chael was unable to attend afternoon training.
08:39So we brought in one final special guest to work with his team.
08:42One of the best fighters to ever come out of the Ultimate Fighter.
08:45All right, guys.
08:46We've got a special guest today.
08:48Somebody you guys would be excited to meet.
08:50He was on the Ultimate Fighter as a contestant.
08:52He actually won the show.
08:54Went on to be a UFC world champion and a hall of fame.
08:59One of the few men that have ever successfully defended a Chael San and double leg takedown.
09:05Give it up for Rashad Evans, guys.
09:11What's up, coach?
09:12What's up?
09:13What's up?
09:13What's up?
09:14Good to have you on, bro.
09:14You can't talk about the greatest tough champions of all time without including Hall of Famer Rashad Evans.
09:22Rashad came in as an undersized underdog on Season 2 of the Ultimate Fighter, and he competed in the heavyweight division.
09:30He went on to win all three of his fights in the competition and became the Season 2 winner in a hard-fought battle against Brad Imes in the live finale.
09:39Rashad Evans into his Ultimate Fighter.
09:43Then he dropped down to light heavyweight, and Rashad went on an impressive run, which included an incredible knockout win against Chuck Liddell.
09:51Chuck Liddell!
09:52Out cold!
09:54After that, Rashad became the Light Heavyweight Champion with another impressive knockout, this time against Forrest Griffin.
10:01Forrest is in trouble!
10:03He's out!
10:03And it is all over!
10:05We brought Rashad back to the Ultimate Fighter as a coach on Season 10 against Rampage Jackson.
10:11Two guys with very different styles and very different personalities.
10:15They had been trash-talking each other for a while leading up to the season.
10:19Turned out to be one of the most entertaining seasons ever, because coming into it, these two already hated each other.
10:25Why you got one shoe on, one shoe off?
10:26Because I already broke one in your ass, that's why.
10:28He's a sucker.
10:30All right.
10:30If I'm a sucker, treat me like a sucker.
10:33I'm going to treat you like a sucker.
10:34I'm going to beat the brakes.
10:34Let me tell you why you ain't going to happen.
10:36You're too slow.
10:37It don't matter.
10:38Your head too big and it's too easy to hit.
10:39How many people do you knock down?
10:40You knock down through the ass, you think you're the man.
10:42It don't matter who I knock you off.
10:43I'm knocking you off.
10:43No!
10:44It don't matter who I knock you off.
10:45Never!
10:45It don't matter who I knock you off.
10:45I'm knocking you off.
10:46I'm knocking you off.
10:47Never!
10:47Rashad and Rampage got to settle their beef at UFC 114.
10:51Huge takedown!
10:53Where they went three rounds before Rashad got the win by decision.
10:57Rashad and Rampage!
11:01After his amazing career and everything he meant to the growth of the UFC as an organization,
11:07we inducted Rashad into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
11:10First of all, how's your experience been thus far, though?
11:13It's been a tough road, right?
11:15The weed has been sorted from the terrors, as I say, but there's still more to go.
11:20And you still got to be hungry to do more.
11:23This is a savage sport.
11:25Yes, we nice on the outside.
11:27Yes, we dap each other up.
11:28Yes, there's great camaraderie amongst us fighters.
11:32But at the end of the day, we can never forget where we are.
11:35We are savages.
11:37And you have to tap into that savagery when you're out there,
11:40because guess what?
11:41That's what you're up against.
11:43So today, let's tap into a little bit of that, all right?
11:45Let's do that.
11:48Man, Rashad is so deep.
11:51You can tell that this man has really been there, done that,
11:55and he's gone through the fire in order to be where he's at today.
12:00You guys are already great martial artists,
12:03and you guys already know these positions.
12:06Now it's about making it flow, making it smooth.
12:09The greatest fighters in the world,
12:11they're fighters who fight really good in transition.
12:13You never know what they were going to do.
12:15To be around him and to learn from him is just absolutely amazing.
12:22Dude, look, maybe I don't even want to take down it, right?
12:24Maybe I don't want to take down it now.
12:26Maybe I just want to just go, boom, and just hit you one good time.
12:30When he's talking about flipping that switch
12:33and being violent inside that cage, it's just resonating.
12:37I'm beating this out of this bag.
12:41That's what it's got to be.
12:42When you get in shape enough to beat this bag,
12:46when you take people down,
12:48you're going to them up.
12:50You're going to make them quit.
12:52But you've got to do that in here.
12:55And you also got to practice the violence.
13:00You've got to bring that violence out.
13:02His mentality is what sticks out for me the most.
13:06My whole thing is we've got to take advantage of the dead space
13:10because when you learn to take advantage of a dead space,
13:13then you're fighting at a different level.
13:15You're learning to fight in the areas where it matters.
13:18And this is where you actually win the fight
13:20by being able to take advantage of these opportunities
13:23in the small space.
13:25But it's about being consistent and not being greedy.
13:28Glad to have him on the mat
13:30and he shared his experience and what he thinks
13:34and the way that he approached the fighting and life.
13:36I can't spoon feed it to you
13:38because then you'll never see it
13:40when it's time to see it for yourself.
13:42It's amazing.
13:43You want to reach the highest levels?
13:46What are you willing to sacrifice?
13:48What are you willing to give up?
13:51How much are you going to put yourself through it?
13:54What kind of pain are you going to put yourself through it?
13:57Greg Jackson just take us all the way up to the mountains,
14:0115,000 feet up, doing wedding carries.
14:05Every 60 steps, we change partners,
14:08running up steep steps.
14:10I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Tough.
14:12And Tough sculpted me in such a way
14:15that truly helped me be the fighter that I became
14:19in the survival of the fittest.
14:21Make the most out of it
14:23because the window's this big.
14:26Climb through the
14:27and I'm very grateful
14:30for the opportunity that I have
14:31to pay it forward.
14:34Let's get a breakdown.
14:34One, two, three, power!
14:40Oh my goodness.
14:59Oh my goodness.
15:02Thank you very much.
15:03Hello.
15:04Oh my goodness.
15:07How are you guys?
15:09Good, how are you?
15:10How's it going?
15:11It's going great,
15:12other than the fact that I miss you guys so much.
15:15But hey, baby girl.
15:17Say hi.
15:19Baby girl.
15:20You see Dada?
15:20Can you see him?
15:21He's daddy.
15:22Oh, she's looking everywhere, but...
15:24Baby girl, her name is Austin,
15:29spelled A-U-S-T-Y-N.
15:31She is just, you know,
15:33just the apple of my eye, you know.
15:35She has two teeth.
15:36We're not walking,
15:37but she got two teeth
15:37a couple weeks ago.
15:38Oh my goodness.
15:39Yeah.
15:40Wow.
15:41She has two teeth on the top
15:42or the bottom?
15:43Or both?
15:43On the bottom.
15:44Two little teeth down there.
15:45Oh my goodness.
15:47I am just absolutely
15:49on cloud nine right now.
15:50I just feel so happy.
15:52This is exactly what I needed
15:54going into fight week.
15:56I'm just on top of the world right now.
15:59I won my first fight
16:00by first round knockout.
16:02Oh, yay!
16:03Yeah, first round.
16:04In a first round knockout?
16:05Yeah, first round knockout.
16:06That's so awesome.
16:08Yes.
16:08I'm so proud of you.
16:10I appreciate it.
16:11Who's your coach?
16:13So it's Chell Sonnen.
16:15Yeah.
16:16It is?
16:16Yeah, yeah.
16:17That's awesome.
16:18Yeah.
16:19That's so cool.
16:19Love you guys so much.
16:21So much.
16:22Love you, Mom.
16:23Love you, sweetie.
16:23I'm so proud of you.
16:25So proud of you too.
16:26So thankful that you get this opportunity.
16:29I appreciate it.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Well, this has been the best part
16:33of my trip out here so far right here.
16:36This is definitely awesome.
16:38So grateful I got to do this.
16:41Yeah, we're super thankful.
16:42We're super excited when we heard
16:44we got to do it.
16:44And this time to talk to them
16:46is just the perfect reminder
16:48of why, you know, I'm here
16:51and why I'm fighting.
16:54And, you know, this has been
16:55one of the biggest motivators
16:57for me to fight
16:58why I do what I do.
17:00Well, I love you guys.
17:01We love you too.
17:02Have so much fun.
17:04Thank you so much.
17:05Hey, baby girl.
17:07I love you.
17:08Can you say I love you?
17:10Hey, baby girl.
17:12Can you wave?
17:13Wave, wave, wave.
17:22So the Neil's fighting Matt Dixon.
17:25The Neil needs to be smart in this fight.
17:27He pressed this dude.
17:28Don't allow him to think
17:30that he belongs in there with you.
17:31And be creative.
17:33Being diverse with his attacks
17:34and creative.
17:35He's got to be creative with Matt.
17:36Oh, yes.
17:37You can do all of this.
17:39This one's going to be fun.
17:41As soon as you start
17:42to lose position,
17:44and if you cut over to that angle,
17:48and you come by here,
17:49just sidestep out.
17:52Yeah, and it doesn't matter.
17:53Now you're back in control.
17:54I saw a few holes in the Matt game
17:59and I can beat this guy.
18:01I can knock him out.
18:02Matt is big, strong,
18:12going to put a lot of pressure on him
18:13and try to invite him into a brawl.
18:15That style of fight
18:17would play directly into the Neil's hands.
18:21He can do some real damage to Matt, right?
18:23And if Matt pressures too much,
18:25he'll run into an elbow.
18:26He'll run into a spinning elbow.
18:28It's going to be a war
18:29because Matt is a guy that brings the fight.
18:32The Neil's a guy that embraces the fight.
18:37The Neil has a lot of different weapons, man,
18:40and he has varying ways to get to those weapons.
18:43So those guys are going to go at it, man.
18:45I cannot wait for this fight.
18:46Daniel Cormier, he told me that this guy
18:56will put a lot of pressure on you,
18:58but he can't even imagine
19:01how he will pay for this pressure.
19:05Then I will be a beast.
19:08Then I will be a monster.
19:09Because my knees, my elbows
19:14will go exactly in his face,
19:18in his body.
19:20It will be a lot of violence
19:21because my style and his style,
19:24it's like water and fire.
19:27And then, bop!
19:31This fight, I can finish in striking on the floor,
19:38grappling everywhere.
19:39It's game over for him.
19:46Okay, hey, all right, guys, circle up.
19:47Listen, as we're getting towards
19:50this final part of the season,
19:52and for one of our fighters in the semifinals,
19:55this is going to be the thing
19:56that puts him over the edge.
19:57From a technical standpoint,
19:58he's got it all.
19:59From a skill standpoint,
20:00from a commitment standpoint,
20:01he's a complete package.
20:02But maybe he just needs
20:03something a little extra.
20:04So I present to Neil
20:05with your fighting fish.
20:14There's a fish tank at the house.
20:15So...
20:16Is there really?
20:17Yes.
20:17You know, I love fish.
20:20I think it's because of my father,
20:22because he opened his pet store, you know?
20:25And, you know,
20:27this fish,
20:28it's some connection with my father, you know?
20:30Because he is not with me anymore,
20:33and it's making me feel better.
20:36Right now, in Thailand,
20:37I have three fish tanks.
20:40So I think we should
20:41give a name all together.
20:44Coach Mike!
20:45Come on, Coach Mike.
20:46Papito.
20:47Papito.
20:47Papito.
20:48Papito no fish.
20:49Okay, it's good.
20:50Papito.
20:50Papito no fish.
20:52His name is Papito right now.
20:55I think it means, like,
20:56small baby.
20:58Papito on three.
20:59One, two, three.
20:59Papito!
21:00Papito!
21:00Oh!
21:02Look at that guy.
21:04Dude.
21:06Papito, where is my fish there?
21:26Woo!
21:26It's here.
21:28Because of my father,
21:29I love, like, animals.
21:32It was, like,
21:33big fish tanks in my house,
21:35and I was young.
21:37And that's why I love fishing, too,
21:38because every Saturday,
21:41he just, like,
21:43catch a lot of different kind of fish
21:46and bring it to the house.
21:48Let's go, Papito.
21:50I was, like, six years old,
21:52and my father,
21:54he started to use some drugs,
21:56and then in one moment,
21:57he, like,
21:58overused it,
22:00just, like, put a lot,
22:01and then he just died.
22:11Of course,
22:12it was, like,
22:12hard part of my life,
22:15but it was, like,
22:16big lesson for me,
22:17and I learned a lot
22:19what I should never do in my life.
22:22I will bring him in the middle.
22:25It's our teammate.
22:27I start to realize that
22:28life is short,
22:30and I should do everything
22:32as much as possible, you know?
22:35Papito,
22:36he's scared,
22:38but soon,
22:39here,
22:41now he's scared.
22:42Now I have a lot of sacrifices.
22:45I work hard.
22:47I fight.
22:48I train.
22:49I put all my time
22:50for being a champion one day.
22:53So, you know,
22:54you can do everything in this life.
23:01That's crazy.
23:02Okay, so here's the thing with Matt.
23:16He is a, a, a stud
23:18unlike anyone else.
23:19He's the strongest guy on our team,
23:20but he's also the best condition,
23:22and you generally don't get
23:23that deal in life.
23:24That is bull.
23:25Get up, get up, get up,
23:26dig, dig, dig.
23:27He's a very special animal.
23:29But he's a special animal
23:31that plays a very dangerous game.
23:34Find him with our jab.
23:35We'll find everything.
23:36Matt's gonna have to walk
23:37through some fire.
23:38He needs to be aware of that.
23:39And Danelle is a legitimately
23:40tough guy.
23:40However, Matt has the power
23:42to put Danelle out.
23:43I don't know if Danelle
23:44has the power to put Matt out.
23:46Remember, center body mass.
23:48Start aiming for his chest.
23:49Once we find that,
23:50bang, we'll find up top.
23:51The only thing you can be assured of
23:53is the fight is going to be brutal.
23:56Sure.
23:57Matt, you got a second to visit?
23:59Absolutely.
23:59What, uh, if you were to say
24:01what the game plan is,
24:02will you tell me
24:03what your strategy is?
24:04Yeah.
24:05Um, you know, pressure,
24:07but good footwork.
24:08Um, skipping range, obviously,
24:10to close the distance.
24:12And then, you know,
24:13make it dirty, you know?
24:14How big of an emphasis
24:15do you have on taking him down?
24:17I feel like, you know,
24:18mixing that in the entire time.
24:19You know, keeping the takedowns,
24:20you know, in his face,
24:22making sure he knows
24:22it's an MMA fight.
24:24Your head's in the right spot.
24:25I'm sorry to bother your workout.
24:26My path to victory
24:27is to just fight this man
24:30and connect.
24:32I'm prepared for things
24:35to get ugly.
24:37I'm willing to go
24:39to a very, very gritty place
24:42in order to take this dude out.
24:45If the takedown's there,
24:46you can take it.
24:47Exactly.
24:47Just like that.
24:49I am the better grappler
24:50as well as the better striker.
24:53Yeah, yeah.
24:54Good defense.
24:54Take up his space, bro.
24:55When I find the target
24:57and I land cleanly,
24:58we're going to find out
24:59real quick
25:01if this guy is tough enough
25:02to take that level of a shot.
25:05And who knows
25:06what this guy can take.
25:07And so if we go
25:08all three rounds
25:09and it's, you know,
25:10the most exciting fight
25:11of the season,
25:12I'll be a happy man.
25:15I'm coming back
25:16with that hook.
25:17Yes, sir.
25:18One of these guys
25:19is going to finish
25:19the other one.
25:20And I just think
25:21that Matt has the power.
25:23I'm going to pop that.
25:23All right.
25:24He's so doggone strong
25:26he can get himself
25:27out of danger.
25:28So one thing
25:28that I don't have
25:29to worry about
25:29in this fight
25:30is that Matt's
25:31going to get submitted.
25:32I don't have to worry
25:33that Matt's
25:33going to get held down.
25:36Nice.
25:36Matt will get up
25:37from the bottom.
25:38Matt is going to get
25:38on his feet
25:39and Matt is going
25:39to trade him.
25:40Six side, go.
25:41Come back with hook.
25:44I think that's what
25:44Matt Dixon's going to do.
25:45I think he's going
25:46to get him to the body.
25:46I think he's going
25:47to get his hands
25:47just a little bit.
25:48I think he's going
25:48to come with that hook
25:50and I think he's
25:52going to knock Danelle out.
25:52This will be the fight
25:56of the season.
25:57That I can assure you.
25:57My love, how are you?
26:19I talk with my girlfriend,
26:32Ulla, and I feel
26:34super strange because
26:35I didn't see her
26:37for a long time
26:39and then she's
26:40just in front of me
26:41on TV screen.
26:42How do you feel there?
26:45Nothing.
26:46I won the first fight.
26:47I won the first fight.
26:48I have two guys
26:49who are the most strong.
26:52And I have the first fight
26:53with him.
26:54The second fight
26:54with him.
26:55Matt Dixon.
26:56He's very bad.
26:57He's very explosive.
26:58He's beating
26:59hard.
26:59He's good.
27:00He's good.
27:01This fight, in fact,
27:02may be a very light
27:03or may be a very difficult.
27:05I don't know,
27:05how it will be.
27:07My mom's phone
27:08would call him
27:08and ask him
27:08and ask him
27:08and ask him
27:09and ask him
27:09and ask him
27:09and ask him
27:10,
27:15and ask him
27:33to do it
27:34this person
27:35who will follow me
27:36for the rest of my life.
27:39so it's super important person and i wanted she will be happy with me every time
28:09you know what i respect you i won't talk to you i like your haircut
28:39it's an interesting match two different striking styles matt's more like a boxer going forward
28:45type of guy daniel is very different we're using his hands his elbows his his angles and his kicks
28:51and all that but let's see how how that plays out when when matt pressure him forward and because
28:56he's his pace and start hitting with those heavy shots that he had i'm taking my man man i'm i'm
29:01i'm thinking he's gonna he's gonna come out victorious on that fight 171 okay magic's okay
29:07to the scale daniel donchenko matt is a pressure fighter and daniel is so good at dealing with that
29:17he creates angles he switches dances and he can counter with kicks which is a very hard thing to
29:25do he's just got the exact you know answer for matt's style so i definitely see daniel winning this fight
29:34it's 171. yeah 171. you did it all right guys stay about new lines right there right no touching
29:48this is it just one finale spot left in the welterweight division and we've saved possibly
29:54the best matchup for last it's usa versus ukraine matt and daniel are both highly skilled strikers who are
30:02looking for knockouts i am expecting these two to throw down and give it everything they've got
30:08to move on to the finale it's 25 that's the skill and it's all that's the bonus yes the bonus let's do

37:48Ready? Daniil. Ready? Fight's on.
37:58Round one, Daniil and Matt start fighting.
38:01They do exactly what we expected.
38:05Daniil went out there to knock Matt out from the start,
38:08but Matt stood his ground.
38:12Matt is cracking him. Matt is hitting him so hard,
38:15and that's just getting Daniil fired up.
38:16You could see Daniil missing barely with elbows,
38:19but he was missing by this much.
38:22And then Matt...
38:24Oh!
38:26And he rocked Daniil, and that was very scary.
38:29So we start yelling at Daniil,
38:30take your time, take your opportunities.
38:32And boy, when he got an opportunity, did he take it.
38:38Oh! Nice elbow, that's big!
38:41Oh, he cut it bad, he cut it bad.
38:44Daniil hits him with an elbow on the way in.
38:46I mean, splits him completely open.
38:52Matt drops it on a single.
38:54Daniil starts hitting him.
38:57Watch the middle! Stop! Stop!
38:58Oh, my God! The back of the head!
39:00Oh!
39:01Daniil hits him behind the head, and they stop it.
39:04The back of the head, oh, my gosh!
39:05If there's an illegal blow and an athlete does not choose to continue,
39:18that athlete that chose to not continue but was fouled wins.
39:21What if Matt doesn't get up?
39:25You've got him cut, you've got him hurt,
39:27and now you hit him with an unintentional, illegal blow?
39:30Oh! This fight ends now.
39:33Matt wins!
39:36But that's just not the way this game is played.
39:37The guys just don't stay down.
39:39They just don't take victories that way.
39:42You can still play.
39:43Okay.
39:44That's good.
39:45Matt, you've got a few minutes if you need them.
39:46Take the time, Matt. Take the time.
39:48Take the time.
39:48Matt got up and fought like a man.
39:50Like the man that he is.
39:51Time in. Fight!
39:52Matt looked a bit out of it coming back from that timeout.
40:01The fight was over at that moment.
40:03I remember when Matt looked at me and I saw the blood coming.
40:05I knew that it was a concern to him.
40:07I also knew that our opportunity to win has passed us by.
40:12Stop, stop, stop!
40:15We expected a war.
40:17It was a war for as long as it lasted.
40:19We just had the better guy,
40:20and Daniil proved that today.
40:23Good one!
40:25Good one!
40:27After that stoppage, Matt had a chance
40:29to end the fight and get the win,
40:31but he kept going.
40:32Guy is tough as hell and I respect that,
40:34but in the end, Daniil was just too much for him,
40:38but what a way to end the semifinal round.
40:40That was a great fight.
40:42I wanted a fight like this.
40:44He mixed in some good elbows,
40:46caught me clean,
40:47and I landed some shots that I know
40:49could have put just about anybody else away,
40:52but Daniil's a warrior, man,
40:53so, you know, hats off to him.
40:55He deserves to be in the finale.
40:57All right, we have a referee stoppage.
40:59Winner by TKO.
41:00Moving on, Daniil.
41:01Wow, guys, that's...
41:16I'm in final!
41:18Wow!
