17:22Turn it up!
17:24Oh!
17:26His nose is broken!
17:27Oh, it's just leaking!
17:28That's as bad a broken nose as I've seen in a long time!
17:31Drake's Duplessis is so good, man!
17:33He has proven it!
17:34Time and time again!
17:35It's time to put some respect on this man's name!
17:37My story isn't one of legacy!
17:41I want to become the greatest of all time and that will always be the goal!
17:46I don't want the legacy of somebody that defended his belt!
17:50I want the legacy of somebody who beat the best of the best!
17:54A lot of fans and pundits felt as though this would be the night upon which we find out just how good Kamzat Shimaev is!
18:00I'm glad I'm fighting a guy that people think is unbeatable!
18:05Because I will beat him!
18:07Oh, he tapped!
18:08Oh, he tapped!
18:09Still undefeated!
18:10That was fast!
18:11Oh, I think he messed up his jaw!
18:13Oh, dude, he just crushed it!
18:15Look at that!
18:16That's one of the more violent submissions we've seen in the UFC against a future Hall of Famer!
18:21To do that against a guy like Whitaker, that is a big wake-up call for the middleweight division!
18:26I've seen a lot of fighters like Drikus.
18:31It's nothing special.
18:33Nobody knows this guy.
18:35I try to explain to people like I'm fighting Drikus, but they say, who is Drikus?
18:40I need to make him famous to sell the pay-per-views, you know?
18:43Because who is the superstar?
18:45Who is the people who want to watch?
18:48Not Drikus.
18:49A force unlike anything the fight game has ever seen!
18:54Oh!
18:55It's over.
18:56One shot.
18:57One and done!
18:58This guy is one of the most special fighters I've ever seen.
19:01Nobody can stop me!
19:02Woo!
19:03If not the most special guy that I've ever come across.
19:05That is it!
19:06The hype is real!
19:08The speed, the takedown, everything.
19:11That's why he's such a terrifying talent.
19:14There's the tap!
19:15Kabzat Shemayev!
19:17How good is he?
19:20He's 16-0 and deserving of all the hype.
19:24But, you know, this is a different level.
19:27I'm constantly evolving, trying to get better.
19:30It's not about the person that I'm fighting.
19:32It's about what that person represents.
19:34And that is the next step in the ladder to becoming the greatest.
19:38When I go out there, losing is not an option.
19:41Tune it up!
19:43Duplicy is an absolute tank of a man.
19:46He's a huge, powerful middleweight.
19:48Oh, my goodness!
19:50Big strikes raining down by the South African!
19:53The pressure, the pace, the cardio.
19:55The belief in self.
19:57I'm not scared of Komzat taking me down.
19:59He's probably gonna take me down.
20:00You got me down, now I'm getting back up.
20:02Now you're getting tired.
20:03Then you take me down again, and I get back up again.
20:05And you realize, yeah, you took me down, but that doesn't mean anything.
20:09What happens when I take you down?
20:10He's got the jump!
20:11There's the tap!
20:12It's still!
20:14All the guys here fought.
20:17No one of them was undefeated.
20:19I don't know how to lose, but he knows.
20:22Kabzat Shemayev!
20:24He is not inhuman.
20:27He can be hurt.
20:28He gets tired.
20:29If it goes a distance, I'll win.
20:31If I finish him, I'll win.
20:33Just like that!
20:34Drake is Duplicy!
20:36Drake can't stop my takedowns on some missions.
20:38I take him down, especially, you know.
20:40I have the jump!
20:41I have the ticket!
20:42Ah!
20:43I will prove to this guy, and to the world, I am the greatest.
20:47Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, for all the marvels for the middleweight championship
20:56of the world!
20:58Introducing the challenger, Hafsat Shemayev!
21:02Official weight 183 for the challenger!

22:16It's a huge fight.
22:18You're one of the most dangerous challengers to ever fight for a title.
22:21This is a huge moment for you.
22:23Tell us what tomorrow night means to you.
22:25Just going to go fuck this boy up, you know.
22:29One day, he has only one day left.
22:32So he's dead tomorrow.
22:34The challenger, ladies and gentlemen, Hamza Chemaev.
22:39I'm here with the champ, ladies and gentlemen.
22:46Let's see if they run out of steam as quick as last night.
22:49Drinkus, another title defense for you, maybe one of the most challenging ones.
22:56Give us your thoughts on Hamza as an opponent and what happens tomorrow night.
23:00He's an absolute beast of an opponent.
23:03But I can tell you this, I'm putting that man to sleep.
23:06When he'd be on the ground, when I'm knocking him out, I'm taking out your boy.
23:11And all of you will be cheering.
23:13I can just know it like every other time.
23:17The champ, ladies and gentlemen, Drinkus Duplessis.
23:21Thank you very much, Chicago.
23:23We'll see you tomorrow night.
23:24This fight is going to be unreal.
23:33Drinkus Duplessis is a wrecking machine.
23:36He's an undeniable finisher.
23:38And this man has got a serious point to prove.
23:41He wants to be the greatest of all time.
